Lesliemarie, I have nothing really to offer in terms of advice, but I feel so badly for you. I can't imagine what it's been like for you. I'm glad you're seeing a counselor. Just focus on your kids and your husband, and take whatever support that your in-laws give. I'll be thinking of...

Dani, How wonderful! I'm glad you shared that with us! By the way, are you still keeping up with Pilates? If so, have you seen any more results (beyond the great results you already had). What workouts are you doing now? Thanks!

Hello everyone, Pinky, good to see you. I'm glad you're getting your workouts in. Whatever you can do now is good, I think. You'll get back to the cardio when you can. Vilma, happy birthday to your daughters. I think that must be easier, in a way. My son Michael has his birthday March...

Sabine, Thanks! That's what I needed to know! I think I will try Shape it Up tomorrow, and maybe get a Cathe cardio fix and some stretching on Sunday. I hope the weather warms up for you, and have a great weekend! Lisa

Happy Birthday, Kathy! You deserve more than ever to have a great one this year!

Kay, I just thought I'd throw in a good word for Don Pepe's. I haven't eaten there personally, but I work for Verizon, and we have an office in Newark, and that's the place that a lot of the work groups go to when there's a luncheon or celebration of some kind. I know a lot of people that...

Good morning, all! I'm less sore today in my butt from my two days of Slim Series, but my inner thighs are killing me. I did Hilary Burnett's Intermediate Pilates this morning, that clocks in at about 30 minutes. I love that DVD. She does a warmup, of sorts, and stretches at the end. Her...

DebbieH--Help! Debbie, I guess you're going to have to send it to my work email, which I'll give you again: [email protected]. I don't know why this isn't working. I participated last fall in the big surprise, and got all Kathy's emails fine. I appreciate your continued...

Phyllis, You're not ranting. That was quite an ordeal. I will be thinking of you, and hope you heal quickly. I know it's hard to not exercise, but that's the best thing for you right now. You'll get back into the swing of things when you can.

Good afternoon, I did Firm it up today. I don't know if that was a good idea or not. Sabine, I wound up being quite sore in my rear end, and a little in my inner thighs from Tone it up. I'm kind of following the "I got all the tapes and Dang it I'm going to use them" rotation, and that's...

Debbie, I sent an email to you yesterday, but haven't heard anything, so I don't know if you didn't get it, or just haven't had a chance to respond. Thanks!

Hey everyone, I tried my first Slim Series workout today: Tone it up. It's like the Firm in the sense that it's aerobic weight training. I felt it, just because I haven't been pushing myself so much recently. The real test will be whether I feel it tomorrow. Right now, I'm not sure...

I would vote for premixes on the new DVDs. Actually, the only set I've had any problem with was the newest set. I think it was in HSTA, when I was doing the cardio only premix, there was a short freeze. It surprised me, but then it kept going. I didn't have a problem with it, because I...

it was Vilma's idea! Everyone, I kind of feel bad taking the credit for the new name--it was Vilma's idea! I just implemented it. For the record, if we go with Summer Heat next month, that's Vilma's also. By the way Vilma, you go girl! Doing IMAX anytime is an accomplishment. You...

Hey everyone, I took Vilma's advice and changed the name of our check-in. I liked your suggestions, Vilma. We'll have to remember Summer Heat for August! I was away over the weekend, in Ocean City, MD. We had a good time, but I feel like I caught a cold or bug down there. Yesterday, I...

Oh, Kathy, what an experience! I can't imagine what that was like for you, but I'm so thankful that Alex is safe and that you're safely home again. My little guys are 5 and 10, and I was scared to death when my youngest got ahead of me Sunday evening on the boardwalk at Ocean City, MD, and I...

Janice, I haven't read all the responses to your post, so I may be repeating some of it. First of all, you sound amazing already. Pullups are extremely difficult. To be able to do three is quite an accomplishment. That said, remember, as someone else stated, you're not in competition with...

Hey everyone, I'm glad to see you guys today. I started the thread yesterday, but no one else ever replied! I know how it is though, I've been checking in more the past week or so, but before that there were several weeks that I didn't check in regularly. Sabine, I'm glad you had a good...

Good afternoon! We must all be busy, no one's posted yet. I decided this morning to sleep late, and did not work out. I was watching "Secrets of Superstar Fitness" episode on Peak Performance on FitTV last night. They were interviewing Gunnar Petersen (the Core Secrets guy), and he was...
