I would second two of the suggestions already made here: Victoria's Secret and Title 9. They both have websites so you can order them online. VS has a great selection and a wide variety of styles, from downright skimpy to some nice one-pieces and tankinis. And Title 9 has great...

Hi, Cathe-- I know for most exercises, the goal is to increase the weight if you find it becoming easy. Would this also be the case with crunches on the stability ball (you do them in a few of the workouts in the new series)? You use 8 pounds, which I do, also. It feels great, and I can...

Dear Lisa, I am so very sorry to hear of your terrible loss. I will keep you and your family in my prayers. God bless, Marie

Hi, Wayne-- These symptoms sound like a classic urinary tract infection--has that been considered yet? I'm not sure if men get them as frequently as women. I suffered with chronic UTIs for years; I would get one, go on antibiotics and feel better, and then within a couple of months would...

RE: 10 Things about you that we Catheites may or may no... Great idea, Jillybean; this is fun! 1. I'm 39 years old with 40 approaching fast and furious. 2. I met my DH when I was 16 when we worked together at a supermarket, started dating him at 17, and we'll celebrate our 15th anniversary...

Thanks for the reply, Cathe! I kind of figured that's why you didn't do it, but I really did enjoy even those few little comments I could hear from Cedie--she is funny! Those few moments of laughter make you forget the pain for a minute!:D Thanks again! -Marie:-)

Hi, Cathe-- Is there any way you could maybe set up microphones in the studio so that we could hear the background exercisers? In the Intensity Series, I can hear Cedie a little bit, and I must say, when I do hear her, she's usually either cracking me up or saying exactly what I'm thinking...

Carol, that's so funny--I just did exactly this on Sunday! My DH and I were cleaning out the house a bit (you know you're a pack rat when you have to take a day of cleaning stuff out before you can get a Christmas tree in the house!)--anyhoo, I ended up cleaning out all my old exercise videos...

I'm here in Boston; we're supposed to get anywhere from 6 to 18 inches--they keep changing the forecast (what else is new)!:P I have an appt to get my hair done at 4:00 tomorrow afternoon; I just know they're going to cancel it--what a pain! Free time is so rare this time of year; we have no...

Way to go, Connie! -Marie:-)

RE: Try cleaning the DVD itself Wow, Deborah, I can't believe that works! I have a lot of trouble with my S&H disc; I don't use it very often, but when I do, it's very frustrating! I've been thinking I'd buy one of those disc cleaners, but I think I'll try your method first. The bath towel...

Too cool, Barbara! Thanks for sharing the photos; you must have had a blast! I can't imagine taking an actual class with Cathe and not being able to "pause" her when necessary--no wonder you needed a water break so bad!:o -Marie

Boy, I really hope that's not true! I do 90% of my exercising in the evening. The only time I work out in the morning is on the weekends, and even then it's only after I've eaten breakfast. As for working out on an empty stomach, I can't do it! Over the summer I jogged in the morning a...

Way to go, A-Jock! I know what a grip that addiction can get on you. My husband was a smoker when we first met over 20 years ago. He quit probably 10-15 years ago, which is wonderful, but has been rotating nicotine substitutes ever since (nicotine gum, chewing tobacco, etc.). He just can't...

Hi Leslie! Go to www.butterball.com; they have really helpful turkey hints! I think the cold water thawing method takes about 30 minutes per 5 lbs, or something like that. And I know you have to change the water every 30 minutes or so to keep it cool. You have to be really careful about not...

Good luck, Connie! You'll be great! You're well prepared, and you've had the best personal trainer there is--Cathe! Now go get 'em! :-) :-) :-) -Marie p.s. You crack me up, Jillybean--pearly ecrus!:7

Thanks again, everyone! I definitely know it is "just a #" and nothing to be really concerned about as long as I'm happy with the way I feel/look. Like I said, I practically never weigh myself, so I don't know why what size I am should make any difference, either! I've learned so much from...

Hi, Kathy-- Thanks for the reply. I really think size has as much to do with genetics than anything else. Right after I posted this, I was thinking that I should not be hung up on what # size I am! As long as I feel healthy and strong and am happy with the way I look, that should be all...

Hello, A-Jock and all you other size 0's! I hope this isn't too personal; I'd really just love to know how you do it! I'm pretty small (5'1") and typically a size 6 petite. However, I've recently started really paying attention to my calorie intake, and I've actually been able to buy size 4...

Sabine, I just had to reply to your post. Your lunch, minus the mayo, is EXACTLY what I eat for lunch almost every day!:7 One thing I've been doing lately is adding a little lettuce to the sandwich, too. It's a nice way to get an extra helping (albeit a small one) of veggies! For the cc...
