    Have you ever had an ovarian cyst?

    Beehappy, is it painful when you have a cyst that bursts? I I had one a few years ago. It was so very painful. It happened over a weekend and I don't know what kept me from going to the ER. On that Monday I saw my GYN and he told me that's what it was. It happened right after I had a...

    What do you do if you can't do a pull up?

    Thanks ladies! I'm using a chair for now (found a tutorial on Scooby's site) but I'm going to look for the band too :)

    Pet fish recommendation please!

    That's awesome Natasha, congrats on getting your tank up and running! Sorry about losing your one fish but that's pretty normal when just getting set up. I actually did some research on my poor little (big) pleco. Found out once they get that big it's pretty torturous for them to be in a...

    What do you do if you can't do a pull up?

    My DH finally got a pull up bar and I can do a couple chin ups but can't get more than half way up on one pull up :o When I do STS back this week do I just struggle through w/ my attempt for the allotted 30 seconds? I've used the tubing and tower in past rotations but pulling myself up...

    Pet fish recommendation please!

    Hi Natasha, I'm a little late seeing this thread and you may have already gotten your daughter's fish but wanted to offer my advice. We bought a 20 gallon tank for our son for his 4th birthday. He's 13 now. We started w/ Tiger Barbs, Bala Sharks and Silver Dollars. We also got one...

    women over 40, whats your favorite makeup foundation brand

    Shorty, do you have a Sephora close to you? I love that store, the staff in there are so sweet and helpful. If not you can go online and call them for recommendations. It's not as good as going in so they can see your skin but you can explain what you're looking for over the phone and they are...

    Disney :)

    I'm so excited for you! Disney is truly a magical place and I'm sure you all will have a great time. I agree, get a book (or two) and read up in the weeks before you go. It will help tremendously. The first time we went our youngest was two and we got Rider Switch Passes on some of the...

    First day of school blues

    I feel your pain Kelly :( My kids are starting their 3rd week of school so we're getting settled into our routine, but that first week was so hard. It's a big milestone year for us...my oldest started middle school and our baby went into kindergarten. We've got a 4th grader too. I'm a stay...

    Storm/Hurricane Isaac

    Thanks for the well wishes :) My parents are on the Alabama coast (I'm in North AL) but they don't think they'll get anything severe. I'm concerned for New Orleans and surrounding areas too. Everyone on the Gulf be safe!

    STS Total Body

    I agree w/ what everyone said...STS and STS TB are different, which is a good thing since variety is wonderful for the muscles. I think the STS program is a must have. It's expensive but worth every penny. Cathe has had it on the Daily Deal several times so watch for it and when it comes up...

    Visiting Atlanta

    Buckhead is a nice place to stay. There is a Marriott hotel within walking distance to Marta (the ATL subway system) that you could take to the places you want to visit so you wouldn't have to drive. Hope y'all have fun!

    You GOTTA see this snake

    LOL Bonnie! Wouldn't this make a great gag for a bday party? Seriously though, some of these cake decorators I've seen have some amazing talent.

    Psst - Can we talk...panties?

    I agree on giving the Patagonia a try. I've never worn their undies but their shirts, socks, jackets (even dresses I have) I love. They are great quality company so I'd go ahead and splurge on one pair of the undies to see how you like them. Let us know if you try them.

    How long should muscle pain last?! Help!

    As the other girls said, no worries on having DOMS for a week. I've been weight training for years and get varied amounts of soreness...anywhere from one day to a week.

    Brothers Passing

    I'm so sorry. I can't imagine the pain of losing a sibling, especially one that has young children. My prayers are with you and your family.

    Workout Cards?

    What I do that only takes a few minutes is go to the premix section of each workout, write down each exercise w/ the reps and in pencil write down the weight I use. I erase and change as I need to. I would probably prefer to have actual workout cards too but this has worked fine.
