    No workouts this week or last, and I am bummed out.

    I feel your pain - I have stitches in my back and abs from having moles removed and can't work out until next week. I feel like a sloth! I think it's harder to eat right too. Ugh - hang in there!

    I don't want to be 43!!!

    Or you could reverse the numbers and be 34..... but I liked the idea of telling people you're older than you are so they think you look even better! Very tricky! ~japer

    Question for walkers....

    Definately take your friend to a good shoe store and have professionals fit her with the appropriate shoe(s). As a former PF victim, the right shoes are critical for success. Good Luck!

    My Top 10 Reasons why I love working from home

    I too love to work from home. My boss is also home based and we joke about wearing slippers all day! I think (aside from all of the above - especially drinking wine in the hammock!) it's great to get laundry done. And having my dog sit at my feet all day is a wonderful stress reducer! I...

    If someone visited your city or town....

    We live in a remote, rural island and I don't think we have 5 restaurants.... maybe if I included the market - haha. Good thing my DH is an excellent cook and loves to catch crab and shrimp in the summer. When people come to visit, that's all they want! ~jasper

    Endo, Meso...Confused-o

    Thanks for the suggestions Cathy. It's true that if I don't exercise my weight doesn't budge (and sometimes goes up even when I watch what I'm eating - ugh!). I eat a lot of pre-packaged meals (lean cuisine, weight watchers, etc) with added veggies or fruit. Does "clean" mean I shouldn't...

    Endo, Meso...Confused-o

    The website is at https://www.mybodymakeover.com At the bottom right of the page is a black square that says "What is Blueprinting". Click on that. It was on a thread from Ask Cathe that someone else posted. Good luck

    Endo, Meso...Confused-o

    OK, I took the quiz and determined that I'm an Endo-Meso body type but I'm not sure what to do with this information..... I'm more confused than ever! Any insights? I'm 6' tall, need to lose another 15+ pounds. I can workout 4-5 times per week for 60-90 minutes. I have LIC, LowMax...

    Waxing!!!

    I love waxing..... I've had my brows and bikini done for years, even had a brazillian for DH's 40th birthday surprise. I did my pits for a while, but IMHO it hurts more than anything and I couldn't stand the grow out. I've never done legs because since I have very little hair on them (about...

    Better success with WW type program or counting calories?

    I started out with WW points and lost the first 15+ pounds - it gives a good foundation and really helped me stay focused in the beginning. Now I'm using the sparkpeople.com site to count calories. I figure it's a little more realistic, plus it's free. I have another 15+ pounds to go...

    Love the calendar

    It's DEFINATELY a big motivator to put a sticker on the calendar! I've had days when I didn't want to workout and the only reason I did was so I could put a sticker on! My 5 yo nephew will do anything for stickers and now I see why! ~jasper

    ever been bloated/gassy for DAYS?

    I'd suggest keeping a diary for a week and making an appt with your doctor to discuss it and your symptoms. I did this when I was having bad "monthly problems" and my doc appreciated the details instead of just telling her how bad I "thought" it was. I think she took me more seriously, earlier...

    i'm in shock, & ashamed (dog related)

    This has happened to me and I felt like such a bad mom! My male lab is 10 now - a couple years back was pushing 95+ pounds and I got the lecture from the vet. I'm so glad I did! We switched to a premium quality lamb & rice food, started measuring (3/4c x 2), talking an extra walk each...

    DO you workout on vacation?

    I always workout on vacation. I use whatever facilities the location offers plus snorkling and walking. It's much less intense and definately not as long as Cathe workouts - just enough to keep the blood pumping and to justify those yummy cocktails on the beach! Have a great vacation! And...

    Stitches - no weights, oh no!

    Thanks for the suggestions, I think I'll be re-discovering my love for LowMax. I never thought about planks, that's a great idea! And I didn't realize it took that long for the wounds to heal - my golf season officially starts in April, so I'll have to be careful. Thanks again for the imput...
