    Microdermabrasion kits

    I've done the L'Oreal kit and liked it a lot, and made it last a long time. I need another one! They're spendy but like they say...I'm worth it! Bella

    Boyfriend says my workouts are easy!!!

    When my hubby finally exercised with me, doing his own weight routine while I did muscle max, he was surprised. I don't think he thought my workouts were so much work! He likes the effect though. :-) Bella

    Don't do this at home!!

    Let's see Kathryn, one time I was doing aerobics on the carpet and ended up with half a sewing needle in my toe, which I didn't know was there for a week or so except my toe starting hurting more and more. Xray and minor surgery fixed that! (High five Michele for same thing.) On my...

    Valentines is just not my day........

    Ali, sweetheart, I wish you the best too. Also--does this mean you're leaving your boundary-ignoring, bang-whacking mother in law? }( Take care, Bella

    why is this happening... all of a sudden

    Maybe you are fighting something off, just not actually getting sick? I'm only guessing here. I wonder about it also because I only get a cold maybe once every 2 years but occasionally I'll have a weak couple days and I suspect that's it. Congrats on your good habits though! :7 Bella

    How much do you tip your stylist?

    I tip her 20%, and round up if needed. I have lots of hair and it takes extra time. It does hurt to pay $125 for a cut and highlights, then add a $25 tip. But like Michele said, this is your hair here! You will be loving or hating life for the next 6 weeks depending on how your stylist did...

    What would you do? Please help!

    I think I eat about 2200 a day. Sometimes a lot more or less. I work out about 5 times a week for an hour or so. Cathe cardio and weights, some walking. That keeps me 120-122 pounds. And I'm not that muscular. Just sharing for reference. :-) Bella

    Would like your reviews of Turbo Jam!!

    I was doing searches here on Turbo Jam recently too. Most Cathe-ites thought it was too easy. But I like Walk Away The Pounds (shhh--don't tell!) so I might like it sometimes. Ijust have to figure out how to buy Cardio Party without having to buy all the other junk that comes with it. Let me...

    using free weights instead of barbells

    Hi Amy, It seems to me you could do any of the weight work with free weights. She mentions modifications often in her workouts. I use the opposite of Cathe often, depending on how it feels to me. A cushioned barbell is more comfortable on your shoulders than a couple big metal hex dumbbells...

    Don't order from Holabirdsports.com

    Just wanting to share my experience with Holabird Sports to save others some hassles. I ordered some Rykas which didn't fit and called them for a return authorization number, and returned them right away via ups. Note that this company doesn't even have a 1-800 number, it's a fee call. So I...

    I'm kind of worried and need to talk

    RE: Go to the doctor for goodness sakes, quit AVOIDING it! Hey Shannon, I get wicked chest pains when I'm stressed. I went and had an ekg once because it was so bad, and they did a blood test for heart attack enzymes...nothing. I got rid of my ex-husband and the chest pains went away too!}(...

    My running..

    I ran for years, and a ten-minute mile was about all my body wanted to do. Unless I ate some ice cream first, then I could really move it. ;-) Ten minute miles are pretty respectably good, especially for a long distance like that. That's clipping along, not trudging. It was my...

    Effects of Slow & Heavy question

    Slow and Heavy makes me starvacious! I always had to sleep more and eat more during slow and heavy rotations too. The hunger way outpaced the need, I was always hungry and gaining weight so I don't do those anymore. I'm sure it's all to your benefit if you eat clean, and are not a...

    Kathryn!!!!

    Wow-look how he wants her! You can see it in his eyes. Make him work for it, Kathryn. Sorry I'm so silly from od'ing on vegan chocolate cheesecake...though you'd like to know. :P Bella

    More on Mom Jeans....

    I force myself to go get new jeans every year no matter what so I'll never hover in mom-jean land again. I thought I looked good in those high waisters at the time, yuuuuck! Having a brutally honest teenage daughter is helpful, if you can't find one, see if you can borrow one.
