    Vanity Sizing Redux

    MAYBE, the sizes from 10 years ago were screwed up and "The Man" was trying to make us feel fat by needing a size 6 when we were really a size 0!!!!:P

    Cathe, why won't you tell us...

    I agree, I think Cathe has been very wise to be careful with this information. When you are held in such a high regard by so many, this type of information can be misunderstood. Everyon'e body is different, everyone's lifestyle is different, everyone's calorie (and the type of calorie) demands...

    i think its time for a break

    A few days off may be what you need. If your muscles are trying to recover and rebuild, some extra fatigue will set in. You may feel amazing after a few days rest! Just keep the diet healthy and grab extra water!

    I felt ugly and invisible

    I agree with others that you are assuming you were not approached based on your insecurities when it may have been the "insecure" aura that kept staff away. It is far too harsh to assume you were ignored based on how you look! As for sitting next to your friend who looks amazing and runs...

    I can't believe it!

    Wanted to add what works the absolute best for me... I do mostly low intensity, steady state elliptical and running...keeping my HR very low (under 150, often in the 130's) About 10% of my cardio, is higher intensity, interval type training. Key is diet! First I'd clean that up since it...

    I can't believe it!

    One machine does not burn more calories than the other. Elliptical isn't better for burning more calories than treadmill or bike and vice versa. Treadmill involves impact and the others don't so I'd alternate.

    Question for the Curly Girls....

    I have never ever heard of it but I do use lots of moisture. I put a lot of Paul Mitchell's The Conditioner in my hair, it is a "leave-in". I really saturate my hair with it...using it as a styling product as well instead of mouse or gels....sometimes a dab of gel. As for no washing...I...

    Where can I get 8 lbs and 12 lbs dumb bells?

    D!ck's Sporting Goods has 8's and 12's for about 50 cents a pound. The fancier dumbells will cost more...but they should have them. Play It Again Sports will also have them.

    The woman I saw who I never want to be!

    I want to shop where Nancy shops!!! That place sounds like heaven...except for the prices. Yeah, as soon as you walk in, there is usually an aisle that has cookies, crackers, sugary drinks, donuts. At our Kroger, you always pass by a huge table of baked desserts from the bakery like...

    The woman I saw who I never want to be!

    "I will say this though, it cost a whole lot more than it does for some of the convenience and junkier foods. It takes a whole lot more effort to pack healthy lunches instead of going out, and plan and cook healthy meals each night..." This is SO TRUE and it drives me BONKERS...

    The woman I saw who I never want to be!

    What is so wrong with not wanting to be over weight, unhealthy, and being part of the majority by eating junk food all day??? Show of hands....who DOES see over weight people with junk food over flowing their grocery carts and think "Man, I wish that was me?" Anyone??? As for...

    Ms. Angry . . .

    Ms. Angry, Why not work out 1st thing in the a.m. or even get up a bit earlier to get it in? Does he need you in his face the entire day off...the full 16 waking hours (or however many)???

    weight...so distraught.

    KatieSee, I have read and heard SEVERAL places that OFTEN a woman with a low body fat will gain more weight while pregnant that a heavy person...or someone who already has sufficient body fat levels. It makes sense if you think about it...think of what the womans body is supposed to do, look...

    Nails - rant!

    Christine, That is not a bad idea at all! It may work in your favor...she may learn how you like them done and it may result in a great manicure for years to come! Just be gentle and specific, even state that you are picky (we all are with our appearance). I do share the frustration...it is...

    Firm???

    I think it all depends on what level you are...beginner, then Firm. Also, it depends on your taste in instructors...if you need someone telling you how great you are doing and how awesome you look...Firm. If you want something more advanced (Cathe's workouts can be modified from advanced to...
