    STS for gastric bypass patient?

    I don't mean to hijack this thread, but Reece - just curious as to what kind of surgery you had? I'm 4 1/2 weeks out from a/c joint surgery that, unexpectedly, turned into additional rotator cuff repair.... it bites, this recovery. Stuck in a sling 24/7 - no exercise except for PT, typing with...

    Tower Questions

    Catherine - you use the Tower for squats? How is that working for you? I know they said that it wasn't meant for use as a squat stand and I was thinking of trying it anyway but felt it wouldn't be safe. Let me know your experience with it if you can. Thanks!

    How to grow hair????

    Oh, I can TOTALLY relate to the bad haircut. Mine was a little over a year ago - the woman basically gave me a modified MULLET! Went to someone else to fix it, which made it shorter. I finally found a woman a few months ago and she is fantastic. She advised a 10 week wait from my first...

    Biggest Loser 9/22

    This is the first season I've been able to watch Biggest Loser (thanks to my new DVR) and I just watched week 2 this evening. I actually love it so far .. but don't have any other seasons to compare it to. I agree that the "lifestyle" is a bit drastic... I read somewhere that the contestants...

    Tower Issue

    Take it out and look at the other end and I bet you'll find the two holes - my thinking is that you have it upside down. Good luck

    power tower trouble

    Haha - I found this out the HARD way - I immediately put it together downstairs and then I couldnt get it UPSTAIRS (narrow stairway) ... so I took the top part off and got it up there but then couldn't get it through the door ... so I took the rest of it apart and just brought the base in and...

    Biggest Loser Tonight!

    I've always wanted to watch this show, but my schedule never permitted it. Now that I have a DVR, I can (and did) record it and I watched my very first episode last night! I'm going to love watching the journey of each of these amazingly brave people.

    power tower trouble

    I got my tower yesterday and put it together in no time flat! I was a bit concerned about the "wobble" factor, until I attempted a couple of pullups (with my feet on the floor - NOT Cathe-style). It was solid as a rock. Now I get to look at it for at least another month while I PT my shoulder...

    STS Tower Update - We're Finished!

    Wow - mine is coming on the 17th and I used Ground shipping and live in Massachusetts! Although, unfortunately, I'm not going to get to use it for quite some time (until my physical therapist gives me the okay) :( but at least I can look at it and appreciate all that Cathe and the crew do for...

    What is the saddest movie you've ever seen

    I cry every time I see Homeward Bound as well! Especially at the end. I can hear "Peter Peter..." in my head now as well and I'm filling up. A more recent movie that made me BAWL LIKE A BABY in the theater was Gran Torino... I was blubbering like an idiot at the end of it and had to sit...

    STS Tower Shipping Date

    Woo hoo! I hopefully will be able to start STS again in about a month (after MORE physical therapy for that pesky shoulder). SNM - Can you tell us how LARGE this package will be? I have it being shipped to my office and now I'm wondering if it will fit in my car! Will it need to be assembled? :(

    STS MESO 3?

    The tower will be here SOON! And I hope that I am healed in time to start STS over (and FINALLY finish it - I have YET to get to Meso 3 and I've started it twice).

    Dear Cathe, (re:Drill Max)

    Hehehe - I could have written that letter to Cathe - except that I've been sidetracked due to injuries (caused by my own stubbornness and stupidity).

    HILARIOUS Post About You, Cathe

    Elizabeth - Clearly not Cathe here, but I have to tell you how much I have loved reading your blog since I found it a couple of days ago. You are a fantastic writer and I can visualize everything you describe! Keep writing and thank you for sharing your journey!

    Cathe, will I ever make it through STS?

    Belinda - I'm sorry you have injured yourself and I know what it feels like to not be able to finish (I've started twice and had to stop after Meso 2 because of injuries - stupid ones caused by ME)... hang in there. Prayers coming your way for the MRI results to show no surgery is needed!

    STS MESO 3?

    Word of advice? BE CAREFUL with lifting a heavy barbell for chest presses. Let me have made that mistake for you - I too, am waiting for the tower but on Meso 2 decided to go ahead and hoist the 60 lb BB up (like a seated clean and jerk) to do chest presses. Well..........ANOTHER shoulder...
