    for those of you with kids in private school...

    Interesting question. I live in Louisiana, where anyone with 2 nickels to rub together chooses private for their kids, so there is a wide range of tuition from about $3 K to $12 K where my kids go. Is it the best in town? Well, heck, I'll never know but I'm satisfied. There is a wide range in...

    Are you a squirmer, a fidgeter, or a doodler?

    Thank you. I needed another reminder for why I got out of the corporate rat race and decided to go to nursing school. There is absolutely no meetings as a floor nurse, I am doing all day long and I love it. I was a global IT manager before...try meetings with Europe in the AM and then meetings...

    Need WW activity points for Cathe's

    An old WW rule was to not count more than 4 AP's per day. You might try that first to make sure that you keep losing or maintaining, whichever category you are in. Personally, I do not use any of my APs and I have lost 14 lbs in 2 months. I have 3 left to lose and I'm at goal. Really happy about...

    Foot problem - Don't read if your eating.

    The Vicks takes many months to work but it does work. Sorry to tell you this, but fungal infections are very difficult to cure, you may have this the rest of your life. A friend of mine has this and she every time she stops taking the drugs, it comes back. Do NOT get pedicures anywhere. Do...

    What is going on (body shape changes)?

    I have no idea how old you are, probably quite younger than me, but as you approach perimenopause in your 40's (for some women, this will be after 35), you do start getting more of a gut. As your body secretes less estrogen, your belly fat starts to put out its own estrogen to assist and the fat...

    Need your advice.....

    Janice, I just started my block 2. Here's my perspective on how to look at your situation (not telling you what to do). First, look at your history. How committed were you last semester? And in your life, when things have been difficult, how did you do with school/work? Also, our block 2 is...

    Who doesn't want to get old???

    having kids doesn't ruin your body I also have to say having babies does NOT ruin your body. I look better now than before I had kids, and I am 43. I had my kids late, too (like Cathe!) at age 32 and 35. I think some women don't understand that it's not pregnancy that caused them to end up...

    Do you tip lawn people?

    I tip them an extra month's worth at Xmas ($100). Just sent the check this week. I tip all my help the equivalent of an extra "times" worth - babysitter, cleaning women, etc. That's what the experts say to do.

    How long do you workout?

    7 days a week, at least 1.5 hours, usually 2. Sometimes 3 if I have yoga to teach in the evening (that's not exactly a big workout, but it has other benefits!). I'm a nut.

    Do you think I can do both??

    Janice, I have been an instructor in the fitness industry for almost 20 years. I was a corporate systems analyst also, but in August I QUIT and am going to nursing school. (will be a 60% pay cut but that's OK) My goal is to work in cardiac rehad or diabetes counseling & education and be able to...

    Imax 2 vs Imax 3

    Don't dismiss C&W just yet! It is one of the most fun step routines that I think Cathe has ever put together. It is "just right" in terms of dancy and a little impact, which builds. I frequently do just the step premix (35 min), then tack on another just-step premix from something (like CTX - 30...

    How can I reduce my thigh size?

    I think a lot of this is genetic. Some of us just have big muscular thighs. I am trying to learn to love mine and the power that they have. That said, I do plenty of leg work and clean eating (I am on a new plan right now and lost 7 lbs so far!). I want them to look as good as possible! But I...

    Plea from Louisiana...don't top off your tank

    All, please please do not top off your car's gas tank. Things are desperate down here in Louisiana and the panic around gasoline is making things worse. There is enough fuel for everyone. Do your part to help in this time of need by not spreading the panic. Meredith
