    What would you do?--Wedding Etiquette

    That does sound pretty tacky. I have a cousin who had a very elaborate wedding and never sent out thank you cards. When the other relatives asked her why she didn't send them, she replied that she thanked everyone at the reception and since there were so many guests she just couldn't do it...

    EEEK..there's a mouse in the house

    I am not a fan of the little critters either. One time, shortly after I moved to California, I was staying in temporary university housing until my apartment was ready. Well, one night, I had left a bag of rice cakes by my computer, which was also next to my bed and I was awakened by a...

    VERY O/T RANT - resumes

    I want to join your club! I teach at the college level and I am blown away by the lack of effort that goes into writing papers! Some think that if they spell check, then they don't need to read what they wrote! In addition, the cheating (plagiarism) that occurs is horrifying. I had a...

    Sick of Salad

    Yes, soup is great! I would like to suggest the Progresso soups that are lite and 0 points according to Weight Watchers. Although be warned if you are a weight watcher and if you eat the whole can, it adds up to as much as 2 points. Anyway, here is what I do, I add more vegetables to the...

    shopping for weights

    Thanks so much! That really helps! I went to Sports Authority and there was a cheap set for $60 that I thought would be okay, but I wasn't sure about the collars and then there were all of these bars. So your email helps a lot. I think I will check out Wal-Mart. Cheap is good for me.

    shopping for weights

    Hey Cathe, I love the new workouts, and they have really inspired me to work on increasing the weights that I lift. I am wondering when purchasing a bar and weights is there anything in particular that I should consider in my decision for weights? I noticed that you list some websites that sell...

    Just had a 5.6 earthquake here in the Bay Area

    Hey! It was my first earthquake experience and the description of it being like an amusement park ride is right on the money! I just sat and watched everything sway--I was on a chair with wheels what a ride! Funny thing is that I had just worked out to Cathe's new kickbox workout--if it had...

    Can't get the 3rd combo in HIS!!

    I had the same problem, but I figured it out. You need to shuffle forward with your outside leg or the one closest to your TV(assuming you are at the place in the video after the hamstring curls and she has you holding facing the back on the right side of the step) then pivot turn to your right...

    Ahhh, you look so good!

    Hey, I have a hard time with pushups. I never really feel it in my chest, which makes me wonder if my form is bad. Do you have any suggestions for making sure form is okay, like any checkpoints that go through as you do them. I've tried gazing out in front of my hands to keep the neck and...

    embracing paleness

    Me too, fair skined (Irish-German heritage) with light hair. I also tried to be a tan person, but there just weren't enough freckles to connect into a tan. It's taken some time for me to embrace that tan skin is a sign of your skin trying to protect your body from those harmful rays, and now I...

    Ahhh, you look so good!

    I love it when Cathe says that by the way. Just wanted to post to say I loved the high intensity step. The choreography is super fun, although it did take me a few pause, rewinds, to get combo 3. I kept using the wrong lead leg to shuffle so after the pivot and the jump kick I was ending up...

    Trouble exercising this time of year?

    I am with you on this. I teach two fitness classes during the week at 6 freakin' AM, and on those mornings I wonder why...why am I up when no one else is up just to do a workout, it helps that I am getting paid. In fact, I think everyone should be paid to workout early in the morning. Yes, I...

    I need a good moisturinzing under eye concealer

    I did it, I got the botox too. Not a lot, just for my mouth area. I have to say that genetics just aren't on my side, my mom's side of the family are all pale raisin faces, then on top of it, I was a tennis player growing up and my nose and cheeks were fried every summer to the point of...

    I need a good moisturinzing under eye concealer

    Me too, and I keep asking myself why--is it so bad? Then I rationalize that it's the stupid medias fault for glamorizing youth. You know, I'll just blame them for my insecurities, which I think is healthy, yeah healthy that's it. Your post couldn't be more timely (pun intended) I am making a...

    Barry's BootCamp....yeowza!

    I bought this workout set on HSN just based on reading this thread! You guys are the best infomercials there are--I place complete trust in your judgement, much more so than seeing Alison Sweeney is a client of Barry's. I also bought a couple of new Champion sports bras based on a previous...

    I need a good moisturinzing under eye concealer

    Hi Laura, It's called botox--I'm just teasing. I have the same problem, man you gotta love aging. I read that "maturing" women should wear tinted moisturizer because it doesn't get caught in the creases. I think that holds true for me, I hate the look of concealer caked in the wrinkles, but...

    Weight Watchers for Men....I am taking the plunge!!

    I think you will be very happy with the online program. I know I am. I took the plunge in mid-August and I've gotten good results. I would be happy to lose a few more pounds, but I've already gone down one size in my clothes and I feel like I can finally see that I have muscle. It was just...
