    Help Me Choose An Appropriate Dress!

    I think you should consider separates. You can then buy two different sizes and have only the top altered as needed. V neck tops (not too low) might be becoming, with a fitted (but not tight) top. You can choose your favorite style skirt. You may be able to get a different top and keep the...

    Ab routine suggestions. . . . .

    I like the one on Cardio and Weights the best. It is tough and very complete.

    Ab Hits Question....

    Ab hits vary in length from about 8 to 15 minutes. They are a compilation of the ab work in other Cathe DVDs. The ab work consists of variations of crunches, oblique work, planks and "superman moves." They are set up so you can do one or more of them in succession. Some utilize the step and...

    Happy Weight

    Good Grief!!! I think it is difficult to find a happy weight for a person and all of us need to look at a range rather than a single number for "happinesss". They do list the healthy range on this chart and that seems like a better thing to look at.

    Hybrid cars?

    Shannon, I thought it would take a long time to get used to a Prius. It didn't. It just took maybe one day. It is arranged so you can drive it intuitively. In most ways it is quite a bit easier to drive than other cars....keyless entry and start is a really fun benefit. When your hands are...

    Hybrid cars?

    I have a Prius and I can say that I love the car. I fill the gas tank and it only costs around $20. The engineering of the car is terrific. I love the back up camera, keyless entry and roominess of the vehicle. I feel like I'm doing something for the environment while driving a fun car...

    Step, Jump and Pump

    Sometimes I have back problems and I need to do lower impact cardio for a bit. Does anyone know the premixes on this DVD well enough to tell me the best possibilities when I need to go low impact. Thanks

    Breastfeeding Question--Am I engorged?

    I nursed my son for over 2 years and faced this problem myself. There are many ways to handle this. One is to give extra milk to the hospital. They are always in need of donors for premature babies. In doing this you may save a life while making yourself more comfortable. I always hand...

    Step, Jump and Pump

    Oh my gosh I love this DVD. I got this for Christmas. I didn't think anything could replace Cardio and Weights for fun and fitness. This is my new favorite. If anyone is thinking about what they should do with their Christmas money....try this. This is so very fun! Sometimes workouts are...

    The primary reason I work out at home rather than the gym because....

    I voted it is easier but the top 5 are all reasons why I choose to work out at home. For awhile I did both but it was really a waste of money because, when given a choice I always worked at home. A gym is desirable when you are disturbing your family while working out though. Some day I may...

    Question re: caffeine, clean eating

    OK - here are some more kid friendly main dishes. I used to core the center of an apple and fill it with peanut butter. I covered it with foil (with stickers on the outside) and sent it instead of a traditional sandwich. I also did that with celery stuffed with peanut butter and ants...

    Question re: caffeine, clean eating

    I'm not Cathe but I work with kids a lot. I have found that kids will eat almost any sandwich if you make it a "cookie cutter" sandwich. Take something they like such and get a cookie cutter in that shape. Peanut butter or cheese sandwiches were my kid's favorite. I alternated those with...

    How about a gift for a man age 80+

    My parents like it when I get personalized stuff from Things remembered...pen sets engraved with a sentiment. The best gift was a "journal" type book where they could tell me about their life. I am taking dictation on my dad's life right now. It is facinating. I have also made...

    Upper GI

    I don't remember some of the details of my upper GI. I don't remember having to take anything to evacuate my bowels before having the upper GI. I just remember needing to fast a certain amount of time. I was told that I got my ulcer due to excessive stomach acid. They treated it by...

    Upper GI

    I've had an upper GI. The Barium is not particularly tasty but the whole test was no big deal for me. It is pretty much like drinking something chalky (a little heavy feeling inside) and some X-Rays. The heavy feeling goes away pretty quickly. I also did have an ulcer. It was treated and...
