I am in a similar situation in that I don't need to lose much wieght, but I would like some definition and have always had trouble shedding the fat layer. I asked a very similar question to yours on this forum a few months ago and many people suggested south beach. I, of course, waited until...

Still in phase 1 of south beach here and I'm really starting to hate it!!! Not the food, necessarily, because all of my sugary cravings are now gone. But I hate the way that I feel--low energy and still can't get through even half of a decent cardio or wieght workout, not to mention the fact...

Kathryn: I can't really remember the names of the workouts. There were 2 and I believe they are relatively new. I've heard of one of them before (good things) and the other focuses on toning the butt and thighs. I believe they're both all step workouts, but I've only watched the first one...

I'm with you, Maximus. That's the perfect word: BORING!!! I just want to push her off her step and take over!!! Lisa--I've never done a Denise Austin (like I said, pretty much Cathe only) but from her ads they look about the same!

Just so that you understand, except for a few workout tapes back in the day like TaeBo and Tony Little, I have always turned to our beloved Cathe for my workouts. (except for yoga/pilates, obviously) But I have always heard great things from others about Kathy Smith and her workouts, since...

I LOVE FRIDAYS!!! B-scrambled egg and morningstar bfast patty w/coffee S-ff yogurt w/splenda and sf strawberry preserves L-tossed salad w/leftover baked tilapia and vinegarette S-celery sticks w/hummus D-grilled shrimp, steamed broccoli, and tossed salad (sf fudgsicle for dessert;-) )...

Today I think I might actually have the energy to get my workout done!! Hopefully my sugar withdrawals are over!! I'm in Arkansas--no sleet or snow, just lots of rain here. We got our share of the ice over the Christmas week. B-scrambled egg white, morningstar bfast patty, coffee S-ff...

My thoughts are with you Wendy! If it makes you feel any better, one of my best friends just went through this same thing with her little schnauzer (Leroy). He had a big growth on his ear of all places!! They biopsied it and determined that it was a tumor, but the non-cancerous type. They...

Candi--I was wrong about the decade. It was actually released in 1974. It's not a blood and guts movie, it's more of a psychologically scary film!! I don't know if they would have it at Blockbuster. I was looking to buy it yesterday online (that's why I was thinking about it when I was...

I was just wondering if anyone else has seen this movie. I watched it over the holidays and it scared me so bad I still have to sleep with the light on!!! It's kind of hard to find to rent, though, b/c I think it was filmed in the 60's and is only available on VHS. My brother recommended it...

I love this movie!!! I've noticed that alot of people have said here that they didn't and I can see why. It is a movie meant for those who are truly goofy at heart. If you're a very serious person, you probably wouldn't be able to appreciate the "empty" humor in this film. If you're looking...

Hey everybody!! I've learned something (that I already knew of course) ....low carbs= low energy. I couldn't even do push/pull yesterday and just ended up doing the 30 minute fast-walk program on my treadmill. I've never struggled through that in my life until yesterday!!! Oh well, it's just...

I made it through the first day of south beach---it's not bad at all!! I ate the low-fat vanilla ricotta creme dessert that they recommend after each dinner and I never got hungry again before bed-time!! That's never happened to me before, especially when I eat early at 5:30-6:00. All of this...

I've never done one of these check-ins before, but I'm starting south beach today and I'm going to need some support!!! It's only been half a day in phase 1 and I already miss my apples!!! DH is doing it with me, but I have a feeling he won't last very long. I'm so happy to get back into a...

Thanks alot, Diane Sue! That is a very helpful link for south beachers. I'm starting tomorrow and I can't wait b/c I feel very icky and bloated from the holidays. Great pic, by the way!:)

Janice, I'm with you! I've responded to your posts before with regards to my mother and let me tell you, it sounds like you and I have a lot in common family-wise. My brother and his girlfriend came home for 2 weeks over Christmas (they live in Oregon) so dh and I basically moved into my...

I'm getting ready to start South Beach on either Sat or Sun and I've read the book and checked the website, but I still have a few questions about what is allowed in each phase. For example, the book lists that you can eat beans in the first phase, but then in the list where it says what you...

I've been avoiding this thread since I first saw it b/c I lost a beloved pet the night before Thanksgiving. But, reading all of your posts has made me feel better and I now want to tell all about my babies!!! I only have one that actually lives with dh and me (the rest live with my parents)...

I'm definitely down for the double chocolate gooeys!!!!! I love Paula but I never get to make her recipes because they ALWAYS start with "a stick of butter"!!! (and usually have more after that!) The vanilla cool whip tastes like ice cream--I can eat it by itself!:9

I saw the other post about the oreo balls and I just had to share this one b/c I noticed that alot of you had parties and pot lucks to go to in the upcoming weeks. I thought I would start a thread just for easy recipes for variety b/c I know that I have a TON of parties and things to make...
