My chair is at 18" (checked it prior to starting sts), and these are absolutely brutal. The best I was able to do with these was to lift myself an inch or two - with my foot just resting on the floor, and no way all the way through these. By the end of the set, I was only tensing and pushing...

I am very happy with the STS product. I really appreciate not having to think about what workout I'll do next, except of course, for my cardio days. I've completed only the first 3 discs, and wondered what I was doing wrong (not much DOMS for the first two), but today I'm feelin' it! I was...

I'd like to know the answer to this, too. I tried the tubing (although I could only sling it over the top swing of a door), but it just isn't the same as a chinup/pullup. I had thought about using two or three tubes at a time for more resistance, but I can't figure out how to keep them...

Here's another vote for making your own yogurt. Not only is it cheaper, but more importantly, you control what's in it, so you don't have to worry about a food recall of the food you eat or wonder about how it was processed. It really is very easy, and the taste is absolutely wonderful. If...

1 Rep max testing Kathyrn - As you can see, I rarely post (I'm a regular 'lurker'), but I love your idea about a rotation that helps us get through the 1RM testing. I started it yesterday, and basically, I started at the beginning and just worked through for a little over an hour so that I...

I'm quite a cheap person, too. I try to make extra payments on my mortgage (and I've been doing quite well lately!)so I'm not paying interest for the entire 30 year period. I hope to have the mortgage paid off in 10 years. I have no credit card debt, and so I make no credit card interest...

Hi - I don't post here very much but I'm a constant "lurker." I live in Ransomville, NY, which is about 2.5 hours from Ellicotville. My husband actually built some of the hillside condominiums that are in Ellicottville, close to the Holiday Valley resort. It's a great little town. As someone...

Thanks so much for the quick response!!

Where can the downloadable sticker templates for the Cathe calendar be found?

RE: Can brass be Brass can't be exactly "touched" up, and I don't know of any product you could buy to paint the bed. But, you can take the pieces to a metal plating place and have the pieces dipped. I bought an old house, and all the door knobs were brass that were only brass plated. I...

My opinion may not be popular with fans of Tracy - and I loved her previous workouts. However, I found the kickboxing workout to be boring. I got about 40 minutes into it, and felt like I was doing the same thing over and over again and I stopped doing the workout. I kept waiting for...

Try JC Whitney at: http://www.jcwhitney.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/FreeCatalogs?storeId=10101&categoryId=10&catalogId=10101 My ex-husband was a Beetle freak, and he ordered all his stuff from JC Whitney.

Well, to tell the truth, I adjusted my position to the 135 degree angle while reading the article - and immediately got relief from that ache at the back of my neck that I get while working at a desk all day. However - I couldn't reach my desk without sitting forward again!

I would also advise securing your Christmas tree in some way. I used to wire it to the curtain rods to keep it in place. Sometimes, kitties think that the tree is there to climb, regardless of whether or not it is real! One year, I heard some noise in the living room in the middle of the...

Not Cathe here - but - Please don't feel bad about gaining weight after quitting smoking. Smoking is much worse for your health than gaining 20 lbs. I, too, gained about 20 lbs. when I quit smoking, and I'm still struggling with it - and it's been about 9 years. That 20 lbs. is very difficult...

Does that picture go with the Evil Witch Laugh we've been hearing so much about?? Very cute! Happy Halloween to you, too, Cathe!

I agree with Beavs. I have had this problem and thought it was from being on the pill my whole life (I'm 45). Turns out, I was wrong. Blood tests show that it is from a low testosterone level. Only problem, they have to give you hormones to correct, which come with side affects, like...

I feel your pain, and I've felt your pain in the past with my own family members. I'm sorry and I wish there was something I could do to help you. I agree with Marie. Try to find an Al-Anon meeting. They are generally for the friends and family of alchoholics more than drug addiction, but...

It happens to me - I have a very difficult time getting through some sets of lunges (depends on how long they are) because of this pain. I usually have to stop for a second, shake my foot out, and then set my foot back to continue. It hurts especially in the calf and in the bottom of the foot.

RE: For those with satellite radio which company is be... I didn't vote, although I've had XM for about 4-5 years. I've never listened to Sirius, so I don't think I could make a fair comparison. That being said - I love my satellite radio!! It's an investment, to be sure (although it is...
