    Leaner Legs revisited

    I love LL too! I'm going skiing next Saturday. I love the way LL moves quickly from one area to another w/o a break and it's over pretty quickly. I do everything at Cathe's weight level and love it. (well those sit and stands make me alittle annoyed but I know they're good for me) Last time...

    husbands

    Hi Reba I would say follow through on having a recommended tax preparer look at your taxes. He said go ahead, so go ahead. I would say nothing else, no more fighting b/c he'll be taken alittle aback at your quietness and determination. Then simply and calmly bring up a specific date and time...

    Do you ever feel BIGGER?

    Absolutely agree. This would happen to me when I was trying to drop 10 lbs in my late 20's. I would plateau for a couple weeks (and I'm already a slow loser--1-2 lbs per week) and all I would have to do is skip 2 or 3 days of workouts in a row and the weight loss would start again. Then I...

    Kickmax - LOVE it!!!

    I finally got up the nerve to try this workout--I've done all the others and loved them except IMAX3 literally kills me (I did it 1x and made only to interval 4. I decided to run 2 miles on my treadmill b/c that was EASIER for me. :(). I actually like that Kickmax is different from KPC b/c it...

    CREDIT CARD FRAUD - am so angry

    I'm sorry this happened to you. I always thought that you are only responsible for $50 if you report the incident is fraudulent w/in 24 hours? Maybe only in the US? (I would cancel the card, document EVERYTHING, every call, every letter, get names/dates and ask for fax numbers to confirm...

    Over 40 -- Okay to Do High Impact (please read)

    It's true that everyone is different and that you have to decide what works for you. I can do every one of Cathe's workouts fairly well EXCEPT for the IMAX's and her hi-lo. There is just too much impact for me, mostly IMO b/c I have concrete under carpet in my workout room (and no puzzle mat...

    Kick Max Blast vs IMAX3 - tuck & j jack question continued

    Hi I haven't done KickMax yet but I did make a valiant attempt at IMAX3 and it was extremely difficult for me. (alot of "wheeze" factor on my part) Now, I consider myself to be in pretty good condition b/c I do all the Cathe's at her weight level or higher for weight workouts and her...

    proper weight for a 15 year old

    Hi If your DD is eating well, then she just has a high metabolism. My DD is about 95 lbs and 5'3" (12 1/2 yo). She's all muscle from athletic activity and a size 0 only if the pants are cut extra tight/slim. Her friends' mouths drop as she will eat 6 slices of pizza in one sitting sometimes...

    LOW PANTS, TIGHT SHIRTS, BAD BODS!!

    Hi I went shopping for school shorts for my DD yesterday and we had 2 choices--UPS uniform shorts (what we nicknamed them) and ridiculous low waisted ultra short shorts which she refuses to wear. After 2 hours we finally found 1 pair of very acceptable, attractive shorts in the GAP. (khaki...

    Does anyone plan their housework?

    Hi I try to do a few things a day, like one day a couple bathrooms, another day vacuum 1st floor and wash kitchen floor, etc. However, I cannot manage this week at all b/c I am exhausted and need some free time like this forum. Last weekend I had to have the kids at a swim meet by 7 am for 6...

    Boot Camp kicks my butt every time.

    Hi I used to dread doing BC but now I like it since I've been running regularly. The only thing is that my sides feel like they've been bruised if I haven't done it for a week or more! The core work really gets me. ;) /karen

    Cathe (in praise of Low Max)

    I got my dvds 2 days ago and the first one I did was LoMax. I got a great workout and loved it. I liked the last interval best w/ the side kicks b/c it worked me so good. My DH walked in and said "Didn't you want to tell me something?" and I said "Sorry, can't speak right now" He said "New...

    Hardcore Series - Premixes

    Thank you Susan for the time you took to list the premixes as I know I will be waiting a while b/f I get mine! I am especially happy to see that I can get a step only workout by putting the premixes from LoMax and IMAX3 together or just use one and combine w/ the premix for low impact on Kick...

    Is this fair?

    Hi Clare is right. Most likely the teacher will simply give her an incomplete and let her make up the test once she sees all of your paperwork re: her illness. I tend to get myself really worked up about stuff like this but my DH usually makes fun of me when it simply resolves after the first...

    Abs after C-Section??

    RE: Tummy tuck Abs after C-Section?? Hi I have had 3 c-sections w/ my first one following a very long labor (I actually had to request a c section after 37 hours of labor) Anyway, it was 14 years ago and I had a terrible keloid scar that hurt if I wore pants that pressed against it (keloid)...

    Pop Tarts

    Hi I do look at those poptarts alittle longingly every so often but I haven't caved yet. (note to self-avoid supermarket junk food isle when I have pms) Also, my kids like alittle junk food on an occasional basis, so what I have to do is avoid buying any CHOCOLATE junk food or I'm dead in the...
