After doing MMA Boxing, I hurt for two days in my core and whole abdominal region. It hurt to laugh, cough, and move - no lie!! Can't wait to do it again!!:p

I'm watching!! I love the Biggest Loser! I also saw the previews for "One Big Happy Family" and it looks interesting. Thanks for the reminder to set my TiVo!! It's so funny because I've been crying to my boyfriend about these 10 pounds that I want to lose and after watching the season...

I did it and really liked it! MMA Boxing is one of, if not my favorite of the Shock cardios. It was hard enough (for me) without the gloves and bag, I can't even imagine what it would have been like with them! But I just followed Cathe and did what she said and got a great 20 minute add on...

Thanks! I think I'll try Gym Styles then. I just wasn't sure if that would be an appropriate sub, but it sounds like it would be okay.

Drill Max is much harder, in my opinion. I've done most of the Shock cardios now, and CB is one of the easier ones. I like DM much better than CB, and I love all circuit workouts. But CB is kinda so-so for me. But like Nan said, CB is a lot shorter than DM, so that could be a reason why it's...

I have Shock Cardio, but not STS Strength. I wanted to try the rotation Cathe posted for January - is there anything that will substitute on the weight days?? I have Gym Styles, Barry's Boot Camp (has workouts for different body parts), and all of Cathe's total body workouts. I'm not too...

I've been using the Clarisonic cleansing system along with Philosophy's Help Me cream for about a year now. The combo of those two products have drastically improved the appearance and condition of my skin, as well as that thick line between the brows. Don't get me wrong, the line is still...

Hi Lauren, I have the Hoover Linx cordless vaccuum and LOVE it. I have 3 cats (and 1 messy boyfriend!) and I use it every day to clean up fur, crumbs, and messes - especially the kitchen floor!! It's the most powerful cordless vaccuum I've ever used and I have tried a lot of them. I hate...

Thanks everyone for sharing your experiences. I got a lot of good info to think about! Tricia - you are so right when you say I need the discipline to stick with something. I used to be so good at knowing what I need to eat and knowing what I couldn't eat, but as I get older, it's more...

For those of you who have lost weight and kept it off by following a good eating/nutrition plan, what has worked for you?? I have the exercising part down (thanks to Cathe and Insanity!), but my eating has always been the toughest part for me, which I know a lot of others here struggle with...

Carrie, Thanks for your reply. Although I loved Insanity, you're right, working that hard for that long is difficult. I only did the first month and quickly burned out. Now I've taken an unscheduled 'rest period' from working out because Insanity was so . . . . . . . INSANE!! My body...

For those of you who have received and done a few shock cardio workouts and have also done Insanity, how do they compare/differ?? I pre-ordered, but still haven't received my SC yet. I've done Insanity and love the workouts. And I was hoping to get some opinions on the two for those who...

My doctor won't perform the procedure either. And he said it's because of the reason you mentioned and also something about a dye that gets injected into you after the procedure to see if the scar tissue formed and everything sealed. But apparently it can look as if the procedure was a...

Another vote for the Bullet. Had mine for over 5 years and still works like the day I got it. It's the best thing I found for chopping ice for smoothies, too.

Lisa, Birth control sucks:p Last year, after much research and consideration, I decided to get the paragard (non-hormonal - can't do hormones anymore) IUD inserted. I have never had children either, but my doctor said he felt I was still a good candidate for it. For me, it was the...

janie1234 - My boyfriend is very grateful for his job, actually. A common misconception I keep seeing here is that letter carriers EXPECT tips. My boyfriend certainly doesn't. He is very grateful for those who want to express their thanks to him during the holidays; however, those who...

I had cortizone shots in my heels for plantar faciilitis (sp?) in the beginning of September. It only took a day for me to feel relief and the pain is still gone today. I've heard it's temporary, but so far, so good. Good Luck!!

I was going to stay out of this, but I just need to state something here. Out of curiosity - are any of you letter carriers?? Ever been a letter carrier?? My BF is a letter carrier, and while it's true he isn't 'saving lives' out there, he is doing his job. For him and all letter...

I never tried the bras, but I love the power panties so I'm familiar with spanx. But QVC sells the bras and they have an unconditional 30 day money back guarantee (you can wear the bra and everything:eek:). So you can try it and see, and if you don't like it, you can send it back. Plus there...

Meet Me In St. Louis (only because Judy Garland sings 'Have yourself a merry little Chirstmas) Nester the Long Ear Donkey (makes me cry just typing it):(:(
