Wow Heather, well done! You are a true inspiration - I'll keep your post in mind as I try to kick my butt out of this funk I've been in. Thanks for sharing!:)

Glad you liked it! :D

>Hi Stephanie, >Just wanted to say as I am also a "UK-er" (live near Bristol). >Nice to see another "local" gal here! >(I also wish we had "The Cathe Channel")!!;-) >Kaz Hi Kaz & Ruth! Nice to 'meet' you. :-)

OK, I did the 'Step Blast Double Challenge' this morning. Wow - so much fun! I programmed the Workout Blender w/ WU, Challenge, Challenge, CD/Stretch. The whole workout was about 40 minutes. I really enjoyed it, was able to really push myself on the blasts, and had much less dread than doing an...

I really like this DVD and the premixes, and I'm not much of a Hi/Lo fan. You can do the SB and SJP step parts all together, or mix them up w/ the weights. It's really versatile and a great addition to a collection, IMO!

Amy, I'm sorry you had such a bad experience w/ Paxil, and I know it's the the right med for everyone, but I have to disagree w/ your opinion that if the choice were 'Paxil or suicide, I'd choose suicide.' I was on Paxil for two years, it worked very well for me. I was on a lower dose (20mg/day)...

Emphasize the importance of washing hands, putting used tissues in the bin, and using wipes (if they are allowed, they aren't at DS's school.) Feed him a healthy diet, w/ a multi-vitamin and extra Vit. C. Make sure he gets plenty of rest. Other than that, you just have to let his immune system...

$257,000,000 ($275 million) or $275,000? $275 million - After taxes (which would be nearly 50%) you'd still have $150 million or so. I'd retire and I'd ensure my parents and in-laws homes and debts were paid, and that we had enough $$ set aside for DS's college education. Then I'd invest the...

I don't think I would. I hate the thought of surgery, hated having to have a c-section when DS was born, don't want any more unless it's totally necessary and life-saving! But, you have to do what you feel comfortable with.

Randi, I so know how you feel, but at this time in your life your mental health is more important than how you look in the mirror. I have always felt the same as you - working out and 'looking good' were of the utmost importance to me. Then I hit a very bad time post-baby (pregnancy and weight...

>Would i still gain weight even though I eat very very clean >and workout 6 days a week? >Randi It's hard to say, everyone reacts differently to drugs. Talk to your doctor, and monitor what happens while you take the meds. Even though I did gain weight from it, I'd still take Paxil again...

Michelle, I'm 37 and I've really noticed the past few years that it's really hard to get the weight off. I too am struggling with the dreaded 'last 10 pounds'! Hopefully some of these suggestions will work for me too - thanks guys!

Cathe's workouts are pretty challenging - both choreography and intensity! Another recommendation for Low Impact Step next - it's a good workout, but lower intensity than most of her other step stuff. After that, maybe try Low Max, but start w/ the step only premix, then the interval premixes...

Hi all, Would you consider the Challenge part of Step Blast HIIT? I'm finding that Imax 3 is a bit too much for my knees right now, but the SB Challenge is doable. I was thinking of doing the Challenge twice through for a HIIT day. What do you think? Any other suggestions? Other than buying...

Thanks Boybert! I'm taking a 'mental health day' today - just relaxing and doing whatever I feel like doing. I'm kind of looking forward to it!

I gained weight on Paxil. I was taking it for anxiety mostly. I had lost weight due to extreme anxiety, and then gained it all back on Paxil, plus some. But, I wasn't exercising or eating very well, either. Effects really do vary for everyone. Please keep in contact w/ your doctor about any side...

Thanks for the suggestions ladies. I know that things won't change drastically in a week, or even in a few weeks. I'm more frustrated with my state of mind than anything else. Also frustrated w/ my 37 year old body, LOL! I was talking w/ DH this evening about being constantly exhausted, and...

Hi all, I have been stuck on a plateau all of August, and it's getting so frustrating! I made some good progress towards my goal (losing bodyfat and inches) during July, then went on a 12 day vacation at the end of July and came back several pounds heavier. OK, so then I tried to jump right...

RE: For breakfast I eat Wheetabix or Shredded Wheat w/ fruit and 0%fat greek yogurt or nonfat natural yogurt; or rolled oats w/ a little milk, shredded apple, and again yogurt. Combines fruit, low-GI carbs and protein in one yummy dish. Lunch is often a wholemeal pita w/ grilled chicken...
