    I remember charles and diana's wedding but the one I really remember gathering around the tv for was Luke and Laura's wedding which I thought was a major event (at least to a 6 yr old!). :-)

    Weights for easily bulked legs

    Cathe or anyone I have a tendency to gain muscle very easily in my thighs and butt. Should I still try to go as heavy as I can to push myself during lower body weight training or should I just use moderate weights? I feel like I'm cheating myself a bit when I know I can go heavier but I just...

    How long did you play w/ Barbies?

    I played with them at least until I was 13. It was more like "fashion design" than playing house, though. And I still collect Barbies to this day! :-)

    Spring collars for a threaded barbell

    I recently had to buy a new barbell set. I had a Cap 110lb set with spring collars, but now have almost the same set but with a threaded barbell. It takes so much longer to change weight plates. The old spring collars I had don't fit it--they are too big.. Does anyone know if they make spring...

    How often do you replace your workout shoes?

    I've heard anywhere from 6 months to one year, if you use them daily for any kind of moderate to heavy useage. Does replacing the insoles count as almost a "new shoe" or do you invest in another pair? Thanks for your input!

    Insanity Recovery Drink--do i have to!?

    I just got my Insanity package today, and I guess I ordered two big jugs of the orange recovery drink (oops!) Is it absolutely necessary for results? I think it has a lot of sugar in it (I know it's supposed to to help your body recover glucogen or something like that), but I'd rather just...

    Old Cathe workouts after STS--my 2nd shock!

    I'm starting my first week after completing the 6 month STS rotation. I pulled out the CTX series to "ease" myself back into a new rotation. I thought it was going to be a walk in the park after finishing STS. I was started the chest workout with the same weights I used the last time I did it...

    Meso 3 adjustments

    What do all you single people eat/cook for yourselves?

    I know this may sound like a really silly question, but I live alone and just draw a complete blank when I get to the grocery store. I can't think of hardly anything good and healthy to buy or cook for myself that doesn't make a family-sized amount of food. I can grab my normal snacks (apples...

    I find it really interesting that several of you have gained around 3 pounds--that's exacty what I've gained too! I'm on the 6 month rotation and just started Meso 2. However, my clothes fit about the same, if not better, and I can see a lot more slimming and definition, so I'm just staying...
