I know where you coming from on this. I grew up with a Mom who felt the same way. It was her philosophy that if you point out very directly peoples faults that it will inspire change for the better. I can tell you from experience that this approach doesn't work in all cases. For me, it...

I get a great workout. Cathe workouts get my heart rate higher and longer. But, I don't think that's always the best measure of a workout. I like interval training which most of the Firm's are. I'm sort of new to Cathe and so far I have found them to be very difficult mostly because the...

Okay, I'm going to jump in here in defense of the Transfirmer. I do Cathe, Firm and WHFN workouts. I know people can get very loyal to one program and talk down about the others. I understand where they are at with that; but, I can see the value in all of them. I like variety. The...

I think it's perfectly normal. I feel the same way. I have two beautiful sons that are almost grown and have never given me a lick of trouble. A husband who works very hard and loves me. But, yep, I get lonely a lot. Sometimes, I reflect on this and wonder why. I haven't figured it out...

>I'm dressed as alion and keep stepping on my tail.> LOL LOL I'm sorry. I just can't get the image out of my head. Your office sounds like a blast. Enjoy. Thanks for the laugh.

I would apologize. But, I would also explain that the reason I reacted that way is that I was caught off guard. She should know that you didn't mean to be hurtful in any way but you love her and care about what happens to her. Unfortunately, after that, you have to accept that she has the...

You got WINE with yours???!!!! Suddenly, I feel shafted. ;-)

I apologize for my ignorance on this subject but what muscle groups would you say a chin up utilizes? Is it just the triceps and biceps?

A Boo Bag is a small bag of candy and other treats. Attached to it is a picture of a little ghost along letter that you have been Boo'ed for Halloween. You are supposed to hang the ghost picture on your door to show others that you have already been boo'ed. This way you won't get hit...

Am I the only one who hates being involved in what I term "silly little exchange games"? I love the holidays. I think Halloween is a blast. But, I don't want to play these games between co-workers and neighbors. Last weekend, on my front step, was a package that I had been boo'ed. I had...

I guess I feel this is a Yes and No answer. I do feel that significant changes in body shape can be achieved through using weights as resistance. However, your own body weight can be used as weight resistance too. I think you can change your body shape using your own body weight. But, at...

I went to look at oriental trading. I love the pumpkin squishy balls and the little character balls with the putty eyes that squish out when you squeeze them. These are good ideas too.

Jeanette - Wow, I'm going to check out my local Target and see if they have any. Thanks. I guess I don't get out much.

>he likes my butt and all that to be a bit fluffy. > How refreshing. A man who likes curves! Good man! I think you can have toned firm abs without showing a 6-pack. I was told by a PT once that in order to show the 6-pack you have to be technically under a healthy BMI. I don't know...

Michele, You are probably right. I guess I find it a bother to take things to be altered. I need some new pants for fall anyway. I'll give it a try and see how it goes. Truth is, that feeling pinched all day has a very demoralizing effect on the mind. You feel like a stuffed piggy all...

Great article. It's got me wondering about something.. ;) What do you suppose the Cathe equivalent of 17 miles of jogging per week it?

I think I'm one of those people who pack fat in and around their organs and not just under the skin. The only reason I think that is my waist is thicker than average. If I go only by my waist size, I would be buying pants 2 sizes larger and having them bag on my butt and thighs. But, I tend...

I've been grappling with this issue too. I feel some sense of responsibility here to walk the walk and talk the talk about clean eating even if I don't have it perfect yet. I was thinking of giving snack bags of fat free pretzels or popcorn. However, I agree with the other posters that this...

Do you think the puzzle mats protect your carpet? The reason I ask is that we are remodeling our home and I'm getting a small workout room along with the project. YEAH. I'm thinking of what type of flooring to use. I also do Firm workouts and the incline step can slip on hard wood so I've...

At the age of 18, I was traumatized by The Amityville Horror which I took my 15 year old cousin to watch on the big screen. I never watched another horror movie again. Funny thing it, TAH seems so silly now compared to some of the more contemporary horror flicks. With that said, my idea of...
