When I don't feel like eating much for breakfast I will have a couple Aussie Bites purchased from Costco. They are a cross between a muffin and cookie: really dense and full of good stuff like flax,sunflower seeds, apricots, coconut,raisins, and rolled oats. I originally bought them as snacks...

I have the hardest time trying to get my kids to eat veggies too - super frustrating! Fruits are a bit easier to sell them on, but they still don't eat as much as I would like. One tricky way I get them to "eat" veggies is I give them V-8 Fusion juice diluted with water. Yes, it doesn't have...

Hi Tricia! I bet the weight gain you are seeing is probably just water retention from changing up your routine. I'm glad you are enjoying Tabata/HIIT workouts. As soon as I finish this round of STS (couple more weeks) I am planning on alternating these style workouts with Ashtanga yoga. I...

I enjoy being a member "over there" as well as here...so what does that make me? ;) Seriously though, I agree that it is too bad when people put down a product that they haven't seen yet, but I don't actually see a lot of that...many people at VF seem interested in new workouts.

It's interesting that Insanity made you puff up or retain water -- maybe it was because it is so intense? How long did you stick to it? I'm just asking because often, when I start doing a new program I will retain water for a couple of weeks, but once my body adapts to the new program a bit I...

It's been fun reading what shows everyone likes. :) I saw that a lot of you like 30 Rock, and I had a feeling it might be up my alley, so I checked out the first few episodes via Netflix streaming last night and they were hilarious! I would also like to check out Dexter-I have a feeling that I...

I used to get warts when I was a teenager and highly recommend the freezing method of removal. It is quick, was painless for me (I had the warts on my hands), and didn't leave scars like the burning method did. Compound W is messy, burns, and usually the warts come back. Freezing always took...

Oh yeah, thanks for reminding me... Anthony is great and I love his show, No Reservations. Gotta start watching that one again!

Go Vikes!...can't wait for September!

What she said! Also hate: soap operas contest shows (American Idol, DWTS, Biggest Loser, Amazing Race, Miss America) morning talk shows (Today, The View, Regis & Kelly, etc.) afternoon talk shows too (Oprah, Dr. Phil, etc.) divorce court/small claims court shows news channels (I get my news...

Shows I watch often: NFL Total Access Curious George on PBS (21 month-old's fave show) SpongeBob Squarepants (4 1/2 year-old's fave show) Arthur on PBS (cute show both kids enjoy) Shows I watch occasionally: Food Network -- Good Eats; Dinner: Impossible; Diners, Drive-ins & Dives; Iron Chef...

If you are feeling like you want to lean out a bit, but still want to do Cathe workouts and weightlifting, why not try one of her fab circuit rotations or the Cross Train Express series? Or you could try switching from a 3 day split format to doing Cathe's full body weight routines like Muscle...

I haven't been in your position so I can't really give advice- just wanted to say I am sorry that you are having such a crappy time at work! Have you every seen the movie "Office Space"? It might cheer you up a bit. Unfortunately, the economy does stink right now and you are lucky to have...

I just did Plyo Legs for the first time and it was such an awesome workout! I had a total blast doing this routine and not only did my legs get a super workout, but so did my heart! Thanks, Cathe, for putting together such a fantastic workout for those of us who don't own a squat rack. :)

Another curly girl here. Gotta love the ease of going natural with the waves and curls. It's so simple to wash and go--especially in the summer. I bet you look fantastic!

Nan, I just had a thought about your "eating at work" dilemma. On days you aren't so hungry for lunch, you could keep some protein powder, healthy fruit/veg juice (I like V8 Fusion or Fruitables), maybe a little ground flax, and a shaker cup handy so you can sip on a protein shake throughout...

I am so addicted to mine, I am losing sleep over it! Seriously, up until 2 am many nights because I am having such a blast playing games, cruising the net, and reading books on it. :)

Hi Stephie! I am actually doing this right now with great results! I did the Shock Cardios during Meso 1, but I felt like I wanted to take on the challenge of Insanity (I had the workouts sitting on my shelf for months), so I started doing them on my cardio days. I don't think I would have been...

Hi Cathe! DD is sick with a fever so we snuggled all night-she is sad she has to miss her swim class today. :( Here are my two little cuties!

Hi Carol. I'm glad to hear you got an answer for your bleeding- I hope that the cyst can be easily removed! I also hope that it doesn't hurt too much. I've never had an ovarian cyst, but I hear they can be quite painful...
