Thanks! Those are my babies - they will be 7 this year! When they were puppies, I used to carry them around in that basket all the time. The one on the left is Oscar Mac (brown & white face) and the one on the right (white face) is Savannah Jane. Margie

Hey Carol, I noticed you removed private messaging from your profile. Good Move! Last time I "spoke my mind" - I received a private message saying I should be killed and have my head chopped off, in addition to a few choice swear words. I thought it was pretty funny! Debate and different...

I grabbed the book at Costco yesterday for $20.00. I couldn't resist especially when I saw that every recipe has a picture of the completed dish! Margie

I agree with Nancy. The workout is what is important. And if you want to go over to the VF site and complain about me being a mean poster too - go ahead!

I'm learning to like the Push/Pull Premixes - mostly because I try and go very heavy with the weights. Still not crazy about Supersets. There seems to be a lot of buzz on the forum about heavy weights lately. Hopefully Cathe will respond with new workouts geared towards that. Margie

Hi Janice, I trained with a personal trainer several years ago and I know what you mean about the difference between videos and gym workout. I have never been pushed so hard in my entire exercise life. When you're done, you walk away shaking! And you're right - it is very expensive...

Thank you for the info, Trevor & Andrea. Now, would you recommend spinning on your own or using a video? Margie

I've been reading "8 Weeks to Optimum Health" by Andrew Weil, M.D. and he recommends taking Vitamin C supplements before and right after surgery. He says it helps the healing system repair wounds. Margie

"...what has also worked for me in incorporating cardio AND lifting in each land workout, rather than splitting these off into different days..." This statement caught my attention in the other post and I was curious as to why this has worked better for you as opposed to splitting up weights...

What type of spinning bike is considered good quality? My husband likes to cycle and that might be a great birthday present for him. Margie

Me Too! Margie

Hi Alison, Although, I've been leaning towards going heavy for the next 6 weeks, I didn't think about the metabolism side of the equation! Thanks for the reminder! Margie

Hi Shari, Although I'm not crazy about having another abdominal incision, I'm glad that it will be the end of all the other problems I've been having! My "plan" is to start walking as soon as possible after the surgery and then to eventually work into a running program - something I've always...

I didn't see it, I was cooking dinner, but my husband did. It motivated him to try and lose 20 pounds! We'll see if he sticks with it this time.........! Margie

Hi Cathe, I'm a scheduled to have a hysterectomy on February 17th. I have 6 more weeks of working out before the surgery. How should I train? Heavy weights to build muscle, lighter weights to build endurance, or focus more on cardio? I currently do not have any restrictions and I own most...

RE: Balanced diet... >I think that balanced nutrition is so easy to talk about and >in reality quite hard to do. Hi Wayne, I agree! Not only does it take time to educate yourself, but it also takes more time to prepare a balanced meal. I know there have been many times when I've come...

What do you think of the latest low carb craze? I was reading the Sunday morning ads and was amazed at all the new food lines being advertised as "low carb". I haven't read the food labels yet, but I'm curious as to how wholesome these foods are. Don't we need carbs for energy? This just...

RE: Any Other Mature Women Enjoying Sex a Bit More than... Oh....that's where it is. I always click on "read new" and by-pass that page. Thanks! Margie

RE: Any Other Mature Women Enjoying Sex a Bit More than... Am I missing something? How do you tell how many views there are? Margie P.S. I turn 40 in March and hope I start feeling the way you all are!}(
