    Any Cathe Fans in East Tennessee?

    Well, no but I'm from west TN about 35 miles north of Memphis in a little town called Brighton. It's neat to me just to hear about someone else in TN at all!!

    Are you a nurse?

    I don't mean to be discouraging, but you wanted opinions. I have been a nurse for over 17 years and I have grown to hate it. I get so sick of sick people. I get tired of friends and family members calling and wanting me to diagnose their rash or broken toe or various symptoms! I am not a doctor...

    HAWAII

    Ok, DH and DD have been to Hawaii 3 times in the past 7 years. Once to Maui and twice to Kauai. We would really like to move there in 4 years after DD graduates high school and hopefully still wants to go to collage in Hawaii! We LOVE Kauai but realistically cannot afford to live here. Very...

    Bikini Yuk!!

    I have been feeling really good about myself and so strong since doing STS. I'm almost finished with meso 3!! I feel like I'm in really great shape now, but I tried on bathing suits and I was disgusted! I know dressing room lights and mirrors are ruthless, but those 3 way mirrors showed parts of...

    Lemon Cake

    I know this is cheating, but for Easter I bought a pillsbury lemon cake mix. I made the cake in 2 layer cake pans and I put vanilla frosting between the layers (DH says "too lemony" with lemon frosting in the middle!) Then I frosted whole thing with pillsbury lemon frosting. Yum!! It was all...

    do you ever feel........

    Yeah I know exactly how you feel. I feel like I'm fighting an uphill battle with my last 8-10 lbs I want to loose. Everyone says I look fine, but I have been 10 lbs lighter and I know how awesome I feel at that weight. It's just hard to get back to it and even harder to maintain it!! Sometimes I...

    Anyone have any healthy egg salad ideas?

    I like to use fat free mayo (Kraft is great!) and a little dijon mustard and it still has the same consistancy, just no fat!

    1RM question

    I'm not even doing them at all. I started the DVD's this week and I'm just using lighter weights that "feel right" for me. I don't have the time to do them all and frankly don't care to. I think no matter what weights I use I'll get great results! Maybe that's dumb of me but that's my opinion. I...

    Mitotropin

    I have been seeing this stuff advertised in fitness magazines lately. The kit includes a 30 day supply of this stuff and it says it is a "pre-contest" formulation. Supposed to be for fat burning and "appetite killer"! Has anyone heard of this or used it? I thought it might be good to get me back...

    Christmas desserts?

    My favorite cake is not exactly Christmassy but it's called Heath bar cake and everybody always raves about it. My mouth is watering just thinking about it! You cook a regular boxed chocolate cake and when you just get it out of the oven, poke holes through the cake and then pour one can of...

    Sugar Habit!

    I would swear that Ben and Jerry's ice cream is laced with cocaine! That is my Friday night treat and I swear I have the shakes if I do not have a pint in the freezer ready for me to eat. I usually get it by Wed or Thurs just so I can see that it's in there. If I dont' have one by Friday...

    This soup sounds great! I also have a favorite stand by soup that's quick and easy called 7 can soup.It is 2 cans Veg-all, 2 cans minestrone coup, 2 cans Ranch style beans and one can Rotel.

    Don't like food?!?

    I think it's hormonal. Some days the thought of eating fruits or veggies or anything healthy makes me sick to my stomach!! These are my major junkfood binge days. Then other days I only want healthy stuff. Wish I always craved the good stuff!!

    Fresh vs Frozen

    Popeye's canned spinach is very good. It is actually the ONLY veggie I can get my DH ans DD to eat! But it has to be Popeye's brand. The others suck!
