RE: Fresh or frozen Hi Juliee! I'm so glad you've heard the same thing and I wasn't just spreading rumors! ;) I actually got my BS in Food Science and Technology a few years ago (can't believe it's already been almost 4 years!) and it's amazing how useful it's been. It's funny you...

Hi Aimee! I remember from college that in some cases, frozen produce is even better than fresh. When produce is removed from the plant its cells begin to breakdown (ie it's dying like when you pick a flower). Frozen produce is usually frozen within hours of harvesting and therefore the...

Hi Aimee, I am SO with you on adjusting to the taste of something because it is more healthy. I thought I would never buy natural peanut butter and now I actually prefer it. My new thing is I.M. Healthy Soy Nut Butter. Something about it is SO tasty - even on the first try! I will try...

Nancy, Thank you SO much for sharing your experience with us - obviously this is a topic on everyone's mind! Your breakfast you listed earlier sounds so good, my only question being, how much of the whole grain cereal do you eat? Breakfast is my favorite meal and I really treat is as the...

OK, I had to respond because my fiance talks about this ALL the time! He will bring it up in normal conversation will anyone and everyone and I swear he is obsessed with this phenomenon! The kicker is that I was on the phone with him when I pulled up the forum and this was the first thread...

Nancy, First of all, Happy Birthday and congratulations on your positive new outlook. Thank you so much for sharing this information with us. I was surprised to hear that the GI of whole wheat bread is just as bad as white bread...I eat a lot of WW Bread and had no idea the GI was so...

I was also hoping to hear the answer to this so I thought I would give it a little nudge to the top. Mikie

Hi Alexis, I'm not going to be much help other than I know what you're going through. I get a pain in my shoulder only when I do chest work (it is my right). Shoulder work does not bother me either. I can usually grit through the chest work pain because as soon as I am done it goes away...

I don't come out of my lurkdom very often but this post moved me to tears. I am very impressed with the level of comraderie the two of you have developed. It's amazing how different life can be when it is viewed with a positive attitude. You have both given me a very special thought to...

Hi Jillybean! I hope you don't mind me posting on your message but I wanted to get your thoughts on a plan I have. Every year I give something up for Lent (I'm not Catholic but it has always been very important to me). For the past 3 years I have given up fried food. The first year it was...

That is too funny! I am 25 now but I can remember my mom doing it when I was younger...she had it taped from TV and I used to do it on my own to be like her. In fact, I think I still have it somewhere. I remember taking it to college to do in my dorm room and laughing at the 80s commercials...

I have an Uncle who grew up in Boston, MA and he introduced us to Yorkshire pudding when I was a child. I love it and it is always such a treat when he makes it for holiday dinners. I will say though, most of my friends have never heard of it, let alone tried it. They sure are missing out...

You'll be amazed at how well you progress with this tape. I remember when I first started doing Cardio Kicks I had done a little kickboxing but not on a consistent basis. I could do the front kicks fairly well and was OK at the side kicks...when they were done slowly. When Cathe started doing...

Hi Cathe! I give a BIG vote for upper body only...save the legs for cardio. I also vote for the interesting, complex choreography you are so good at...I love Rythmic Step and would love to see more of the same. Thank you for listening to all of these views...that is truly rare! Take care, Mikie

RE: I hurt my pinkie toe, too! LAST EDITED ON Aug-12-02 AT 05:49PM (Est)[p]Hi Debbie! I ran my pinkie toe into a door frame about 3 years ago. It was one of the worst pains I've ever had! It was so bad I limped my way to the campus doctor and an x-ray revealed a hairline fracture on my poor...

Hi Suzyq! I was just thinking about your trip the other day! I am SO glad you enjoyed yourself. It is definately a place to which I would go back. In fact, "hearing" you talk about it makes me miss it all over again. Have a wonderful rest of the summer...as if anything else could compare to...

Hi Lis1! I felt compelled to share this with you: I have been best friends with a group of 7 other young women since college (we are the All Stars). During college, only one All Star had a serious boyfriend. The rest of us always joked about how we had to be single b/c any guy that dated one...

Thank you all SO much for the wonderful advice. I can identify with the need for a challenging workout...it's is too easy to get spoiled by Cathe! I think I'll go for the orange/gold video. Take care, Mikie

This is SO fun! - I cannot stand someone to touch my neck. I literally freak out and do not take responsibility for my actions. When it HAS to be done (ie Dr. visit) I grip the chair and squim miserably until it's over. - I am SO afraid of things that are bigger than they are supposed to...

I'm posting this to those of you who mentioned the Tae Bo Get Ripped Advance workouts. I have the opportunity to purchase one or both of these and need some help: 1. I wasn't crazy about the origninal Tae Bo advanced so I have shyed away from subsequent Tae Bo attempts. However, when Cathe...
