I bought a storage ottoman. It's large enough to hold my BB plates, ankle weights, weighted gloves, lifting gloves, workout calendar, plate mates, and most of my DBs. DH put heavy duty wheels on it so I can push it to where I need it. The step, BB, and a 2x4 all live behind the couch...

Hi Melters. Today was 4DS Kickbox/Legs. I've been enjoying the 4DS series so far, but I do need to get some additional plates and DBs so I can match Cathe. I've still been really good with my eating. Got into a little sugar free jello binge last night, then stupidly tried to make myself feel...

Sugar free jello is low carb. Also I like grape tomatoes, either alone or with a wedge of Laughing Cow cheese. A South Beach Diet staple is a half cup of part skim ricotta chese with a packet of splenda and a dab of vanilla extract. It sounds kind of strange but actually tastes quite good...

In my family, we had no choice. Learning music was mandatory. To tell you the truth, I hated my piano lessons at first. After about 5 years of lessons, my grandmother got too sick to teach us any longer. My mother gave us the option to continue or not. I gave up lessons for about one year...

Hi Melters. I've been good and stayed off the scale. My weigh in day is Monday, so I still have a few days left. Best of luck to those who are weighing tomorrow. Sending ((((skinny vibes)))) to you! I have been eating textbook South Beach phase 1 since a week ago Monday but I don't feel...

Tneah, for years I knew the term 'magic bullet' as another name for a hemmorhoid suppository. LOL As to the 'newer' magic bullet, I watched the infomercial for it just the other day. I was very tempted to buy one myself, but for the price they were going to send out two of them. I just want...

Morning gals. I was good and stayed off the scale this morning. Yay me. Today was a scheduled rest day so I got to sleep in a little. Doing mid-week rest days is kind of new to me. It's funny that I got more sleep but without the workout this morning I feel more tired. Since we're...

*hangs head in shame* I stepped on the scale again today. The number went the wrong way just a little, then it ticked me off. Stupid me, I should know better! Robin your comment about avoiding the scale is so right. Remind me to weigh myself only once a week, please! Sorry no personals...

Tneah, at the marina I'm known as 'the stripper'. Before you put your mind in the gutter thinking about it, the kind of stripping I do requires caustic chemicals and sandpaper, not poles or G-strings!;-) Oh and thanks Tneah or the kind words, but the picture I have on my avatar is me minus...

Hi melters. I bit the bullet and stood on the scale today. With South Beach week one behind me, I'm down 4.8. I'm not really doing the happy dance because week one is always just the water weight. Wish it came off that fast normally! The 'hard lard' is a little more stubborn. After one...

I stopped using the stickers because my 49-year-old eyes could barely read them, even with glasses on. They are awfully tiny. Even without using the stickers I still like (and use) the calendar. The stickers are a good concept, but I guess the younger set will have to enjoy them!

I've been lurking your thread gals, but have been too lazy to join in. I've always been quite a failure at being consistent with a challenge check in. Just wanted to give you all ^5s for your efforts so far. I'm also on the 10 pound quest. I started South Beach diet this past week just...

I've used eBay on and off over the years. Here's a couple things I learned: Some people put items out there at a ridiculously low price but then they soak you with shipping costs. Make sure you read the listing carefully to understand what your final cost will be. Signing up is free and...

I love my 5 disc changer. It does have the capability to be programmed to play certain chapters on any of the discs but in reality I don't take the time to program it much any more. I just cue up each of the discs where I want them to start playing and just push 'disc skip' to go to the next...

Fantastic Four was my first Christi Taylor video. She takes some getting used to as her choreography is somewhat complex. Once you get the steps you'll find she's quite addicting. I must do Step Heaven or Still Steppin' at least once or twice a month. I'm not a big fan of Hi/Lo so the other...

Yes, it is scary. My husband had it in his leg in May. He didn't catch it from being in the hospital (don't know where actually, but not a hospital). It nearly ate it's way down to the muscle. He had to go to many treatments at the wound center after a surgeon cut it out of his leg. It was a...

Our house was built in th 40's so it has hardwood throughout. When we remodeled we pulled up all the carpet. There were some rooms where there were big gaps between the pieces of wood and/or giant water stains. Those rooms we just re-carpeted because they were beyond fixing. However, I did...

I bought this one on pre-sale. I've done the whole workout twice and it seems to be a reasonable calorie burner per my HRM. I can't say that I absolutely loved the core cardio part, but to me the Cardio Burn section is worth the price. The cardio burn is not long enough on it's own to be one...

I don't feel so bad now after seeing these other TiVo lists! Mine's pretty embarrassing too. Lost (love the WTF? moments) Ghost Whisperer (this one is ready to jump the shark) American Idol (hey, I was a music major) Trading Spaces (I met Frank Bielek once) My Name is Earl (IMO the...

RE: Seasun Zieger I balked at the price too, but about 6 months ago someone here saw that GNC had them on sale. Don't quote me, but I think it was $60-70 on sale. I wouldn't have considered buying it at full price just because there aren't a lot of videos devoted to it. The core work that...
