This is sooo much fun to read! What a diverse crowd of women we have! I "retired" (vested after 11 years) from C & P Telephone Co. of MD. (formerly Ma Bell, currently Bell Atlantic). While working there, I was a tariff typist, a service rep., a cable splicer, and an residence and business...

I just received my high step!!! I live in MD and I got it about 15mins. ago. It's awesome! Thanks SNM! Jackie Edited to add: I also got a Cathe shirt in medium and it fits me great. Nice stretchy material. I normally take a medium to large in this type of shirt, for those of you...

RE: High Step Thanks for clearing that up. That makes me feel better about preordering the step. I knew there had to be a difference between what you were offering and other stores and I was hoping for a clarification. Anxiously waiting for its arrival!!! Jackie

I really feel your pain. I too pray that petie will be back home, in his warm comfy bed with your son. They won't let you visit him? I would insist that you be able to at least let him hear your voice and touch him if only for a few minutes. Maybe they don't want him excited, but still I'm...

About your experience with Natrol... I have been on progestin for about 4 years because of estrogen dominance. I really would like to be taking something more natural and was wondering if it is more of an estrogen replacement, or balancer. So from your previous post, for you to be "lean" was...

YIKES!!!! I'm so sorry Cathe!! Please accept my humble apology! Sheepishly, Jackie PS On to editing my post!

Wow! Thanks for all the responses and info.. It helps to know you're not alone. I am going to look into the book Kathy H mentioned. I have read the book by Debra Waterhouse(?) and thought that was interesting, but then when you see some women who are close to forty or older(how's that?) and...

Kathy S. you and I seem to have the same physical issues!! You listed the "exact" (exception is the straddle taps) moves that make me insane. I have tried various modifications on the squat thrust climbers and I still can't finish them. Recently I've been doing them without the jump up on the...

will they always have to watch what they eat? I am 45 and have always been slender (even after 5 children). BUT I feel that as I reached the age of 38 my metabolism changed. (I'm 45 now.) Doing the exact same things, but noticing a thin layer of fat coating my body. I eat to live so I'm not...

RE: Hi Runathon!! Hi guys! I have 5 children, 4 at home now and I have the same energy as you runathon! I love children, and I would have kept having them if my husband wasn't 8 years older. However, something to consider. When children are young, it is easier to have control over your...

Marci, Those people have issues!!! I can't believe how rude they were and GOOD FOR YOU for speaking up! Please don't let these people ruin how proud you should feel for keeping your weight down. As far as giving them the benefit of the doubt, if they had just assumed the equipment belonged...

Me too! You described me with the exception that I'm 5'7. But I have very long arms and legs. Very short waisted, and have a disappearing waist! Everything else you mentioned is happening to me as well. And it also is 10 to 12lbs that I need to lose. The only difference with me is that my...

Hi A-jock, Do you belong to Video Fitness? I know that they had a class at a gym last year for DCAC(?) so you might want to post this question over there. (Also several people live in that general area.) Jackie

Hi Marci! So glad you saw my message. My dad was born and raised in Potomac on a 250 acre farm off of Falls Rd. I watched all the HUGE houses being built all around the farm and then eventually the land was sold off and the houses surrounded my grandparents tiny house. It still exists but...

Just curious..You said you grew up in Montgomery County MD. I lived in that area for 30 years. What area were you from? Jackie

RE: I have a very senstitive problem...I need some fee... Hi Sherry, I have 5 children also and my husband was 52 when the company went bankrupt. Fortunately, he retired from a big company when he was 51 and we have the benefits left over from his retirement. He was rehired within 4 mons...

RE: I have a very senstitive problem...I need some fee... I would ask him for a minute of his time. Just a minute. If he responds negatively with name calling and so forth, I would respond with an ultimatum. That you are there for him if he does not talk to you that way. If he insists on...

Hi Sherry, Just wanted to say how sorry I am that you are going through this. My husband lost his job last year, (along with everyone else at the company he worked for.) I don't work and we have 4 children at home. Everyone handles the stress of that differently, but you need to convey to...

Wow! I can't wait!!! This is one of many suggestions I'll probably think about. Is it possible to do a tape using bands and/or isometric type strength work. Maybe that is along the lines of a yoga/pilates type workout, but I would love to have a tape that utilizes bands, weighted ball, body...
