    WEIGHT LOSS SUPPORT CHECK-IN week of 2/11

    Way to go! Good for you, Amynicole! You must be so excited...and proud! One of the things that's so neat about these forums is that when something happens, good or bad, to one of us, we all feel it, too! So, your good news has brightened my day! Again, great job!!!!

    Diet Coke& Cravings...fact or myth???

    Hi! I think there is a relation, at least in my experience there is. I cut out drinking diet sodas...trying to eliminate caffeine and the aspartame from my diet. The craving for sweets has gone way down. I think I read that if a person is sugar sensitive, as I believe I am, aspartame acts...

    Step: Gym vs Video

    Stacy...your friends sound just like my sister-in-law who says "you can't get a good workout at home." What a slap in the face to me, because she knows that's what I do. I think the best workout is what someone will do consistently, and with passion and enjoyment. She keeps talking about going...

    Confessional

    What a great story!!! It reminded me of something my husband will never let me forget... Apparently, my brother who lives back east was talking to my then-boyfriend (now my husband) about a snack called Ho-Ho's. We live in CA and at the time couldn't get them here. Well, my brother sent a...

    CHECK-IN 1/27/01

    Hi everyone! I'm usually a lurker, but I thought I'd jump in and post. I had an enjoyable week...I ordered and just received 5 of Cathe's older step tapes. I LOVE THEM. The choreography is fun, and I have two left feet. I feel great when I get thru her tapes. They are challenging and boy...

    Am I ready for Cathe's Step Tapes?

    Hi... I have two left feet, and I liked Gin Miller's Intense Moves and Extreme Step because the moves aren't fancy. It took me way too long to work up the courage to try a Cathe tape. My first Cathe tape was PowerMax...LOVE IT!!! The moves were a bit tricky at first, but I caught on pretty...

    "O" magazine.....gotta have it!!!

    I do! I love that magazine! It's unlike any other magazine that I've ever seen. And it's not expensive at all! I think each issue is around $3, which is unheard of for a magazine of that quality. I gave subscriptions as Christmas gifts...it really does address the whole self, not just the...

    Unbelievable--a CHANGE is due in 2001!!

    I hear you! My downfall is shopping on the internet...it's soo easy to go to Lands End, or Amazon, or CD Now and whip out that old credit card. Then the bill comes and I'm in shock. It's weird because I don't spend a lot when I actually go to a mall to shop. I only buy stuff at the mall that...

    Dog lovers....

    My beagle is 12 years old and acts like a puppy. However, he has a terrible heart arrhythmia (spelling?) and some valve problems. He is on tons of meds, but his health problems have not yet affected his spirit. He is still very playful and alert. The vet says that he can have no forced...

    Lex....your posts are always well written and informative. I look forward to reading what you have to say, and you never come across as being obsessed with a size. Reading posts from you motivates me and makes me feel less isolated when I am at home working out. So please please please don't...

    I agree with RBurke 100%! Before I discovered this forum and Cathe's tapes, I worked out because I felt I "had" to, but my heart wasn't really in it. Cathe's tapes are so challenging and fun, and I feel a great sense of pride when I finish a rotation. Working out has truly become my #1 hobby...

    I'm so happy, I completed MIC in one shot

    That's great, and very inspirational to those of us (me) who have MIC still in its wrapper. One of these days I will work up the nerve to at least watch it once! Little by little, I'll get there! I'm gonna try Cardio Kicks for the first time tonight...Betcha I don't get all the way thru! Oh...
