Elizabeth, I had 2 hernia repair surgeries in the past 3 years:confused:. Each one after I had my last two children. Mine were ventral hernias, though. I probably did not have to get them repaired, but I wanted peace of mind. I did not want to wait for them to get worse. With my luck, that...

Gettinfit&42-I can relate to being in an exercise slump. After having my 3rd child, going back to work and trying to keep all the "balls" in the air (family, work, time for me), I let the last one fall. I loved to workout (especially with Cathe), but had no desire. I knew my clothes didn't fit...

Katied, I just go on here to quickly check, and I saw your scary news. I am glad you and your son are o.k. That must have been really scary! You are in my thoughts and prayers!

Hi Girls! I am still here, lurking, even if I don't check it that often. I try to check-in every week, though. I am going to be starting week 6 tomorrow. Still no change in thigh measurements, but in every other area, I see small improvements. I'm thinking about getting a spin bike. Any...

Renee and Katied-I can totally relate to insomnia due to someone snoring! Earplugs work wonders, now only if I'd remember to get more! Two of our 3 kids sleep in one room, so I'm able to go and sleep in the spare room. It does feel fantastic to finally fall asleep around 1 and have to get up at...

It looks like everyone is keeping with it-great job! Renee, nice pics! I "think" I see some definition in my arms as well. This weekend, my family and I were away for a long weekend. Although my DH and I worked out on Friday and went sledding up a huge ski slope on Saturday, I ate way too much...

I get so bored with workouts too! If too many exercises repeat, I am in snore mode! I love this series, and rotation, for this reason. I'm still motivated to do them too. Hasn't become a chore yet, and I doubt it will. Keep up the awesome self control! -Jen

I am about to start week 3. I switched a rest day because of lack of sleep (brought on by sick kiddos), but I pushed myself to do low impact hit today. I have lost 3 pounds so far. Tracking my food has helped too. I love this rotation...it's such a boredom buster! -Jen

Count me in! I am in Week 2, Day 2 of the 90 Day Undulating rotation. I am sticking to it, and I am so motivated to do these workouts! After having my 3rd child, a year and a half ago, I just let myself go. I had PPD that I got treated for, I went back to teaching full-time, and I just didn't...

Thanks for the info about Famous Dave's. I just checked the Nature's Gate, and it is paraben free. I used the one for medium skin tones, but that was in the summer. I really liked it.

I am paler than pale! The two self-tanners I had the most luck with are: Famous Dave's (you can search Famous Daves for the site) and Nature's Gate Glow Lotion (I found it at Target, with the natural skin products). The Nature's Gate is much cheaper than Famous Dave's. I like both very much...

Denise, I just read your blog. I couldn't find a recent post...I just clicked on the link to your blog from your reply to my posting. I wanted to read more. :) I just started blogging back in August (a teacher blog). I find it fun, a form of stress relief and informative (as I link to other...

I live in Harrisburg, PA, and I just checked my mailbox...it was there! I was one of the later preorders. It came by USPS Priority Mail. I'm so excited!!! There is a thick user's guide with it too, and all the DVDs came in one case. As soon as I get back inside from playing with my boys in the...

Thanks for your reply!

For those of you without the bar, what kind of chair do you use? This workout looks awesome, but I can't shell out the $$$ for the bar at this time. Thanks! -Jen

Thanks for the info, Lisa. I meant to type whole "set" of DVDs in the title...I guess that's what happens when you hold a baby and have a screaming toddler while typing;). -Jen

I didn't purchase the new DVDs during the presale. I am ready to try them now, given all the rave reviews. Aside from the free shipping deal, I didn't see any discounts if the whole series is purchased. Am I missing something? If I can't purchase the whole series right now, I am interested in...

I caved and bought Genics. A family member sells it, and there was a deal that Genics + another full-size moisturizer (I got the one for 30+) was only $10 more. I really like both of them. Genics has a nice scent, and it has made my skin (I'm 36) smoother and softer. I have sensitive skin and...

My son has Everyday Math in his school. He's in first grade, and the 2nd week of school, he was bringing home single-digit addition without ever going over the meaning of addition, what the signs mean, working with manipulatives, then pictures then numbers (concrete to abstract....which is how...

For all you "Wenners"...Wen will be sold on QVC at various times tomorrow, Oct. 1st. Maybe there will be some specials?
