    please send good vibes tomorrow....

    I had to go to a 4 year old birthday party immediately following the exam. I have no idea how I did. I felt so much pressure! The proctors were very rude--stood next to my desk & talked a couple of times. I wanted to scream "shut up, shut up, shut up!" I can call & get my results...

    Please give your vote......

    Lori, I tried WW & added points to my intact because of how I workout. I, too, was between 23 & 25 points, added 3 for my hard workouts. I was still STARVING. I don't know BFL all that much but from what I hear it's like Body RX--getting a lot of protein in & just watching bad carbs, right...

    please send good vibes tomorrow....

    I'm taking the law school admissions test tomorrow morning. I AM FREAKING OUT! I have wanted to be a lawyer my whole life (well most of it anyway). I have put it off due to being a high school drop out, getting married & having a baby, living all over the world with my Air Force husband & then...

    4 those of us "snowed in"...

    RE: Hi Sharon! Hi Lizzie, you must be thinking of someone else. I'm in the other direction! I do remember last summer talking with a bunch of you Philly/S. Jersey people about meeting at Cathe's gym & there is someone that works over there by you but it wasn't me. I wish I could remember--we...

    Situps!

    Hi Kali, you asked about form so that you are not pulling on your neck while doing crunches. I read a suggestion on msn.com (about a million years ago) that has really helped me. There are three things that are really simple & will amaze you at how much they work. Ok, enough rambling--- 1.)...

    4 those of us "snowed in"...

    I'm in S. Jersey, right outside of Philly. We got a whopping 8 inches in my backyard!!!! I had to go out to take my dd in for minor surgery--they didn't close! It wasn't bad on the local roads. Glad we didn't have to go far. I'm doing S&H Legs/Shoulders tonight. DH did the shoveling--out...

    I am so frustrated with Rhythmic Step

    A while back Francine & I challenged each other to learn this tape. She said she got it in about 3 weeks (where is that girl?). I'm still working on it--something like 4 months later!!! Ok, I do it like 3 times a month, ok?! The way I have done it is broken it down into "bite size" pieces...

    I BOUGHT MY FIRST AUBERGINE TODAY..........

    OH, I KNOW, I KNOW!!! Slice it about 1/4 inch thick & season it with a LITTLE cayenne (red pepper), salt & any other seasoning you like. Put it under the broiler for a few minutes until it starts to "toast." Do that with yellow squash & zucchini, too! Put it on a nice roll for a yummy...

    How much and how long?

    RE: Update.................... LAST EDITED ON Dec-03-02 AT 01:33PM (Est)[p]Donna, I'm so glad you had much the same result I did! I, too, am going to stay with the heavy weights but will change from S&H to PS next week. I am upping my cardio to 4 days a week at 30-45 minutes a day, unless...

    Full-body Pushups....

    Hi Angela, I don't know about a "push-up rotation" but what I've been doing is trying to add one more big girl push-up a week. I mean if I do S&H Chest/Back today & do 3 big girl push ups with Cathe, next week when I do S&H Chest/Back again, I'll attempt 4. Now S&H push-ups are REALLY hard to...

    Make your own mini step

    My husband made mine out of plywood 3 years ago when I was doing just the Firm. Basically it's a box. The top is 17 inches square with the sides being 13.25 inches high (with the thickness of the top brings the total height to 14 inches). The sides are all screwed together & the top is...

    Has Anyone Caught Dr. Phil's shows on weight loss issues?

    I caught the first show on this topic (the week before last, I think). It was amazing how many times the women on the show said something to the effect that society puts barriers in place for them to not lose weight. There was one woman that had lost 100+ pounds & had gained back abut 30. She...

    when will the new series be shipped?

    Hi Laurie, Cathe has posted on another thread--that I can't find at the moment--that the ship date hasn't been decided yet, but that there will be an announcement on the forums and her home page when the videos will be ready for shipment. It's really going to suck for me when that...

    Cathe, have you ever used Ephedra/Ephedrine?

    While I can't remember the exact thread I read it in, I do recall that Cathe has spoken out very strongly AGAINST the use of all weight-loss "supplements." If I recall correctly she said something to the effect of there being no conclusive scientific evidence that any of these substances work...

    What is the weather like where you live ?

    How much and how long?

    Ok, here's an added twist to this. After posting this morning, I took a shower & came down to where my scale is hidden in the basement (I WILL NOT HAVE IT WHERE I CAN ACCESS IT EASILY!!!!), totally buck naked, stepped on the scale. I'm down 5 pounds from just Friday. Still a 3 pound increase...

    Weighted Medicine Ball

    Weighted exercise balls at D*ck's Sporting Goods, Sports Authority or WalMart are the same thing as a medicine ball. I'm ready to take the next step! http://www.smilies-world.de/Smilies/Smilies_klein_1/a_smil09.gif
