Just wanted to let everyone know that we had our ultrasound today, and I was joking saying, "The baby looks just like Anna (our todder)," and the technician said, "Well, not JUST like Anna." We could see the little boy parts, so it's a boy. My husband is just thrilled. He always wanted a...

Hi everyone, I am almost 8 weeks pregnant, and I thought I'd go ahead and come out of the closet. My husband and I have been waiting to tell our friends until I'm a little farther along, but I thought I could go ahead and post here. I am due on Halloween. I just need a little encouragement...

I like CIA 2102 (I think that's the number) or Powerbar Training, as it's called, with the Anderson sisters. It's similar in format as Power Hour, although I have to use lighter weights for it. I really feel it the next day, though. You can get it at www.ciavideo.com and maybe Collage, also.

I can't believe no one has mentioned church yet. That's where I met my husband. He saw me from the balcony and decided to make a move. It worked, I guess - we have been married for almost three wonderful years.

This should be interesting :). 1. I have to set out all my weights exactly the same way every night before I go to bed so I can be ready for the a.m. workout. 2. I ALWAYS drink from a 1.5 liter water bottle. When we have company over for dinner, I serve the guests in glasses and myself in my...

1. My name is Emily, 26 years old, and I have been married for almost three years. 2. I live in Little Rock, Arkansas, but I grew up in South Carolina, went to college in Utah, lived in Idaho for a little while, then lived in Buffalo, New York. 3. I have been a Cathe fan since late 1999. I...

Insurance companies are the evil of the world, IMHO. I don't know any secrets, but I know here in Arkansas, they have very affordable health insurance for children up through the age of 18 (ARKids 1st, it is called). You have to qualify, though, with a low enough income, which we do because my...

LAST EDITED ON Apr-15-02 AT 10:55AM (Est)[p]Hi Hazel, You're always so good about responding to me on VF, so I thought I'd give you some words of encouragement over here. Staying at home with my girl has been the hardest and the best thing I've ever done. I am a highly motivated person who...

Hi Hazel, You're always so good about responding to me on VF, so I thought I'd give you some words of encouragement over here. Staying at home with my girl has been the hardest and the best thing I've ever done. I am a highly motivated person who thrives on accomplishing projects, etc. I...

Congratulations!! We are all so happy for you. Hope you are feeling well. Emily

I hope no one thought I was meaning I wanted other instructors to replace Cathe!! I only meant that since Cathe produces her own videos as well as owns a gym, maybe she could produce videos for other instructors that teach at her gym. I KNOW that Cathe is one of a kind, and I wasn't saying I...

Every time I do one of Cathe's videos, I wonder if she could use instructors at her gym to produce even more tapes. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't want them to take Cathe's place, but I just thought it might be a way to get even more wonderful, varied workout videos. I'm assuming the people...

Hi Betsy, You should definitely check out Cathe's videos, and you should go over to www.videofitness.com for other ideas as well. Good luck.

Hi April, It's Emily, Christian's wife! I don't have the DVDs, but I really wish I did. I am currently doing an all CTX rotation using all six videos, and it's been working out pretty well. I have so little time to workout with the baby and everything, so this has been great. I have used...

I'm wondering who all out there is ACE certified (or certified by another organization). I am thinking of doing the Lifestyle and Weight Management Consultant certification from ACE, and I was wondering if anyone has any comments or suggestions. The Clinical Exercise Specialist also sounds...

Hi Diane, I can only comment on three of the instructors since they're the only ones I've done. I would highly recommend Franny Benedetto, Mindy Mylrea, and Debbie Burns. If you like Cathe's intense workouts, you need to try Franny. She is arounf the same intensity level with a little more...

I don't know an official answer, but when I was in college living in the dorms, I lived in an eight story building, and I would run those stairs (all the way up, down, back up), etc, for 30-45 minutes at a time. That was about the toughest thing I've done - lots tougher than stepping on a bench...

LAST EDITED ON Nov-07-01 AT 11:24PM (Est)[p]I just have to reply here because I was very suspicious of the Firm at first being the Cathe-type cardio junkie that I am. I thought the Firm tapes were not going to challenge me because they are not "real" cardio tapes or "real" weightlifting. I have...

Here is my list: 1) Chips and Salsa at a Mexican restaurant (basket after basket like Cbelle!) 2) Movie popcorn - no butter though 3) Peanut butter (crunchy) straight from the jar 4) Any kind of nuts, especially peanuts from the shell 5) Candy Corns - I could eat 'em forever, so I never buy...

Good luck, Honeybunch! Can't wait to see your winning :-) recipes! I have been going through sort of a workot slump lately for a variety of reasons, so instead of completing my CTX rotation, I have decided to just do what I feel like each day for a while. It seems to have helped. M: CIA 9802...
