My daughter has switched from watching educational commercial free Playhouse Disney in the mornings to annoying commercial-ridden Nickelodeon. First of all -- YUK. I hate Spongebob Squarepants -- the one episode that featured Johnny Depp was not enough to convert me, I'm sorry -- but I'm getting...

I eat the Go Lean cereals -- either Go Lean or Go Lean Crunch. I also eat the waffles and the pizzas (omg - YUM!). The entrees are a little bland for my taste but OK.

My dad had prostate cancer back in '92 when I was a senior in high school. It was caught early and my dad went through surgery and radiation. It came back several years later, but radiation took care of it. It was lung cancer that took his life 2 years ago -- he was a heavy smoker for years and...

Grande mocha non-fat no-whip triple shot. Summer time -- it's a grande light caramel frap Has anyone tried their oatmeal? I usually don't order food at Starbucks, but I might get the oatmeal sometime. I've ordered a Vivano before (the protein smoothie) -- I make better smoothies at home...

Oh, Buttercup, if only I could drink just 2 cans of diet soda a day! That would be a major cut back for me! I have no answers, because all the water I drink is flavored with Crystal Light and even though I drink over a gallon of fluid a day, a good portion of it is Diet Coke. Good luck...

Personally, I must eat every 2 hours to avoid a serious crash and burn. I am on the go with work and my daughter and don't have time to prepare a meal every 2 hours. A protein bar is just one of my options that I use to keep me going and get my protein grams in. I am also a big chocolate lover...

OK, I have a guilty pleasure -- try a Snickers Marathon protein bar. There are 2 varieties... one has 20g of protein and the other has 22. They are a little high in fat and probably have more sugar than you'd like. But they have 10 g of fiber in each bar and taste as good as a real Snickers bar...

I know what you mean about the girls being first to go. The fact of the matter is, boobs are mainly fat tissue -- so off they go... They say that women lose weight in their hips and thighs last, because the fat reserve is needed for possible pregnancy/breastfeeding. You would think the fat...

Another kudos for STS I didn't want to clog up the forums with a brand new post -- although I am sure you'll get dozens and dozens of them -- but I just got my STS today and I am so impressed with the quality and professionalism of the entire program. The booklet really puts it over the top...

Does your mic ever "die" or quit working, so you have to yell out your cues to your class? I'm just curious because that happened to me tonight. It was no big deal -- I have a pretty loud voice -- I was a cheerleader in high school and college. Plus I used to teach before the clubs ever had...

I thought the delivery guy looked like a sweet man -- reminds me of my dad. And of course Cathe looks wonderful! :)

I do my cardio at home, but I do a few strength workouts in the gym to mix it up. Especially legs.

I am crazy for the sweets when I am PMS-ing. Cookies mainly. I always forget where I am in my cycle so I get blindsided every time. This past month I made it through mind over matter with plenty of rest and relatively clean splurges... whole grain waffles and sugar free syrup was one of them...

I only teach one class a week currently -- the rest of the time I am being a mom. Sure, it doesn't do much to put food on the table (and it is at a YMCA where the pay is minimal). But it's infrequent enough that it's always fun, and the members have been there since I taught back in the early...

I use my daughter's plates and bowls and that helps a lot. So they have Disney Princess or Hello Kitty on them -- A cup of cereal looks like a lot in one of her bowls, as opposed to my monster cereal bowls. Cereal is where I really need help in the portion control department! :)

First of all, hire the best trainer for the job -- nuff said. I am a personal trainer myself, but I have thought of hiring one for myself just to give me an extra push. I might want to quit at rep #10, but if there is someone there pushing me on, I might make it to rep #12. Know what I mean...

I don't even pay attention to the calorie readout on my elliptical -- I know it's a load of crap. Apparently, when I do Cardio Coach on mine, I burn 1800. I don't think I burned 1800 calories during my marathon last fall!!!

Not safe at all -- it remind me of what I used to do until I got my squat rack -- I had a bench to do bench presses on too -- I raised it up on my aerobic step and several risers. Not safe not safe not safe! My life flashed before my eyes every time I did a leg workout.

18008 -- placed on Jan 12th 2008 - just over a year ago -- WOW!

My mistake -- I said the CIA presale starts next week -- it actually started today as well. You don't get free shipping, but if you pre-order one or all of the 2900's, you can get any of their other titles for $10 each. I ordered Seasun and Amy's pre-sale DVD's, then got 2 Sharon Twombly...
