    My 7 year old...oh the horror....

    This is why I don't want to have kids until I can afford to stay home and home-school them. As far as that whole cell phone thing goes, my answer would be that they can get a cell phone when they can afford to pay for it themselves. If they need a cell phone before then, they can take mine...

    HE PROPOSED!

    Congratulations! Don't freak out over the wedding arrangements. Keep them simple and remember just to have fun. It doesn't have to be "perfect" and you shouldn't work to please anybody other than yourself! This is YOUR day, not your mother's or your future in-laws' - YOURS! Just keep that...

    Recovering from foot surgery

    Thanks for the workout suggestion. I was planning on modifying many of Cathe's workouts/exercises to do them sitting, and I was going to do only floor work for legs, but it would be nice to have a workout designed specifically for recovery from foot or leg surgery. The good news this morning...

    So You Think You Can Dance

    Did anyone else watch this last night? I was so delighted that Danny and Sabra were in the final two. They were my favorite dancers all year. I think Sabra was the right one to win. She is such a versatile dancer and could perform anything put in front of her. Danny was just AMAZING! I...

    Recovering from foot surgery

    I finally had foot surgery this morning to correct a misplaced bone and moderately severe bunion. The next time I do a step workout, I shouldn't have anymore foot pain! Yippee! My foot problems were getting so bad that they were greatly interfering with my ability to exercise, so I'm looking...

    Let's Chat

    I just missed it. I had foot surgery this morning and have been in-and-out and missed the chat session! Oh, well, I'll just read through all the rest. :-(

    body max 2 vs cardio fusion

    I am the dissenting vote that says, "Get Cardio Fusion!" If you are looking for a cardio DVD, I think Cardio Fusion is a better way to go. BM2 mixes weight work in and is more of a circuit, which has its merits, but Cardio Fusion is straight cardio and I just love it when I'm in the mood for a...

    Cathe, I can not keep up anymore!!!!!

    Something I've noticed is that as I strive to complete the newer workouts, I can go back to the older ones (that used to be too intense for me to complete) and get through them. So, while you may feel like the newer workouts are too hard to complete, they are accomplishing their goal: To...

    Already my least favorite?

    Really, if I wanted a fight I could call my mother. If I wanted to start a public arguement, I would have posted this on the open forum or on the video discussion forum. I posted this on Ask Cathe - I thought I was directing it toward Cathe, not everyone else. Clearly, my mistake. In the...

    i hate this

    I allow myself a small cheat on a regular basis because I love some junk food, too. Chocolate and ice cream are my big weaknesses. It used to be soda pop and potato chips, but I just stopped buying those things and now I just don't want them, anymore. If the junk isn't around, you can't eat...

    Is there such a thing as too few calories?

    Eating too few calories is known as "starvation". :D Just kidding. Think of food as fuel. What happens when a car doesn't have any fuel in its tank? It doesn't start. Now, how fast does a high performance engine burn through fuel versus a low performance engine? Pretty darn fast...

    Kevin Trudeau's "Weight Loss Cure"

    RE: Kevin Trudeau's I'm embarrassed to say that this dingaling got me to buy from one of his infomercials several years ago. I even subscribed to his newsletter. But then the warning signs began popping up. First, the man doesn't know how to write. (It's called a "PARAGRAPH", Kevin...try...

    Prank phone calls!!! Should I be worried???

    The only thing I don't see in any posts is mention of the possibility that someone has planted a surveillance device in your home. It could be a bug, or a wire tap, or a small camera that has been situated somewhere obscure (you'd be amazed at how small and undetectable these things are today)...

    Pretty sure I just wasted 2 yrs of my life in nursing..

    Word to the wise: If you hate something -- if it feels so much like work that it hurts -- then it's not the right career choice. People are supposed to LOVE what they do. If everyone loved what they did for a living, we'd been one mighty awesome country, let me tell ya! I really LIKE what...

    Foot Surgery

    I saw a thread on here a while back about someone else who was getting ready to have foot surgery, and I recall seeing a lot of responses from people who said they'd had foot surgery and were so glad they had. Well, it looks like I will now be undergoing foot surgery soon, too. I've had...

    How do you plan to rotate Cathe's new workouts?

    I'll probably do them straight through at first, but then I will probably start working them in with other workouts. For example, perhaps I'll do GS Legs one day, then one of the new upper body workouts with cardio the next, then the GS compliment of the upper body parts I don't work...or even...

    VERY overweight nephew - help

    I think it would really depend on your relationship with your brother. With my brother, I don't have a problem stepping in and saying something, but he rarely listens to me. And if they aren't going to listen, you are only going to be wasting your breath and your time. Now, if he or your...

    LIC Cardio Premix

    I started doing LIC cardio premix a couple of months ago, and I have to say that it's become one of my favorite cardio workouts! It's just about perfect as far as intensity and recovery go. I get my heart rate up, then the next segment helps bring it down before boosting it back up into high...

    wait for 4 -split? Or buy Gym Styles plus the 4-day split?

    It sounds like we're going to see something like the Slow & Heavy series in these new workouts, so I'd say to go ahead and get the Gym Styles. That will give you some variety.

    Laser Hair Removal

    A note about tanning, which someone else mentioned: Do NOT tan or lay out in the sun for several days before treatment. This does not have anything to do with how effective the treatment will be. It has everything to do with your skin will burn if you tan. They use a rectangular "crystal"...
