How exciting... I hope we hear soon! :D

Cheryl They actually moved to Gatinaeu (sp?). I just talked to him today and they got there on Thursday and have moved into their apartment. He sounded really upbeat and all the kids are having a blast (so far.) He said it was really hot (30 C). hehe It may be quite awhile before they can go...

Eunice It is so hard to let our kids learn from their mistakes, but your hubby is right. Have you thought of telling your daughter your regrets about the choices you made when you were her age? Maybe telling her how you just want the best life possible for her and to not have to live with the...

Pam My background is definitely not mainstream and was pretty special although a lot of the time I longed to be “normal.” I would think your job would be interesting too. You get to be creative. :) And you are absolutely right about business travel. It isn’t the same as pleasure travel and it...

Cheryl Glad to hear the dog cat relationship went well! I find it so amusing that some cats actually scare dogs. I know mine does! I’ve actually told my daughter that we’ll find something for her birthday in New York, and do some school clothes shopping too. She was over the moon at that...

Whoops! That is what I get for doing it from memory. Janie – are you visiting your son in Vegas? We’ve had such a mild summer here in Central California but lately it has been very hot (relative to what we are used to.) I almost think having it so easy for so long has made the last few weeks...

Janie I love your sink by the way! And thanks for the welcome and explanation of how this works. I'll stick around here! :) If you go to In-N-Out keep in mind that both the hamburgers and french fries are 400 calories each. Honestly, I think In-n-Out makes the BEST french fries around and are...

*Cheryl* I get up at 3:10am on weekdays and then get up more like at 6am on weekends. I'm in bed by 9pm and honestly on Thursday morning I struggle not to hit the snooze button. In the past, I'd take Thursday as a rest day, and sleep in till 4:30 to make it through the week, but I've been...

Wow, Eunice, I see what you mean about a great group of ladies here! Hi all, I am new to check in's here so you'll have to help me learn the ropes. I may not be able to check in daily because my schedules is pretty hectic, especially the week days. I'm still trying to figure out the different...

I used weighted gloves & ankle/wrist weights in combinations that got me close. Getting to a 4 lb weight was tough and took a lot of extra time. After awhile I made the jump up to the next weight. Platemates look nice but kind of pricey, especially if you have to have them shipped to you. I have...

I'd go with CTX or the 4 Day Split. Yes, she uses a barbell in there but you could use your hand weights for now, and then buy a band to complement it. Then keep your eyes out for a barbell and plate weights at garage sales (you would be surprised at how many you can find out there.) I LOVE 4...

Not Cathe, but thought I'd chime in since she is off getting some R & R. Since we trim off our fat evenly over our bodies but store it unevenly, it may never be possible to get where you want. I know I carry my extra fat on my lower body so that I'll never truly be able to get my thighs to...

It has chapters so that you can choose only what portions of each workout you want to do. It also has the strength only (upper body) workouts merged together so that you can do it that way insteady of only one body part after each cardio.

You may have shocked your system a bit with going to nothing, but probably have it fixed now. I bet with the added water and a bit more food you'll see some progress. And yeah, muscle does have weight, although you'll maybe gain 1/2 lb a month? It is a fairly small amount for most people.

Wow, Cathe... it sounds like you found yourself the next series! Or at least there seems to be some serious support for this. I know I would definitely buy it (shoot, I'd buy anything you make LOL). But truly the lower impact workouts (high intensity) are my favorites, and when given a choice...

The first time around, I did Meso 3 with as heavy weights as I could do without a squat rack. For certain exercises I even added a weighted vest (or backpack loaded with weights) to add weight beyond what I could put on a barbell. It worked and I felt like I did get a lot out of it even if I...

If you use the workout manager (see the top of the screen), it will tell you the approx calorie burn for each workout once you've added the workout to your calendar.

Not Cathe, but I thought I'd chime in: You don't mention what you are doing with your eating. Weight loss is 80% diet. There is the possiblity of 2 things going on (well probably more, but 2 are likely). You are either eating too much or too little. You need at least 1200 calories to keep...

Preworkout (my workouts are early too - 3:30am) I have 1/4 a serving of a Nature Valley crunchy granola bar. It is about 45 calories, and works great to not upset my stomach (I eat it as I'm headed in to workout), but to give me just enough fuel so that my reactive hypoglycemia doesn't kick in...

I like Burt's Bees. :) Mary Kay also makes an exfloliant and balm for the lips that works well too.
