We have always crate trained our puppies and it has always worked out great. I do agree w/getting the right size crate though when they are puppies, or otherwise it won't work. Also, if you can get home during the day at least once (or have a neighbor do it?) while he is still a puppy you'll...

Thank you girls. You reminded me of so many of the things I know I need to do! Journal, be patient, get the bad foods out of the house and get refocused. I have really slacked off on my journaling and I think it has hurt my focus. For some reason the journal just really helps for me. I use...

I couldn't agree more! Debbie you are one of my favorite friends on this site. I remember when I was off the boards for awhile after I had my 2nd son last year. Every time I came back to visit you were always one of the first to welcome me, motivate me and just be my friend! Thanks for...

Hi gals :) Do you ever feel like you just work and work and make little progress in meeting your fitness goals? Okay, let me first tell you I was on my period this past week so that may have something to do with it????? But I don't think that is the ONLY reason I am feeling such. Anyway...

I agree w/Wendy as I classify it as cardio w/a good leg workout. I personally don't classify anything as a true leg workout unless it truly uses weights. I have legs tomorrow and am thinking of combining this w/a weighted leg workout.

Came back to post that I meant my post for Catwoman. Sorry :( Scorpio I was not meaning to ask you if it was necessary? I didn't think Catwoman's post was necessary! I am sure SNM will get your prob fixed within the week :)

I agree. Scorpio - was that REALLY necessary? This site is getting seriously unhealthy. This truly makes me sad to see posts like this. Every night I come here lately excited to talk about fitness and I sware I run across more threads like this that are just completely unnecessary in my...

Pinky - one way to make PUB harder is to do it the body for life style. I do this all the time. Basicly when Cathe starts to go down in weight you go up. and then only go slightly down for the last set of 12. I do reps like this 12-10-8-6-12 where Cathe does 12-10-8-10-12. I also add extra...

Colleen - I am so with ya' on the wt thing. I also have recently started going back to Cathe's weight work when at home. I do follow bfl pretty much when at the gym. I do think I have better results w/Cathe style though as I actually work harder without having to lift such high weight. I do...

Does anyone else get excited for UB and particularly PUB? Every time I have it on the weekly rotation (which is usually at least 1 a week) I get excited!!! It is just such a great UB workout plus it goes perfectly with Body For Life. :+ :+ :+ :+ :+ :7 :7 :7 :7 :7 :7

Happy Bday you fit Cathe chicks!!!! Have a barbell for me! Ha ha ha !

I too would love to hear some good advice on this. I am only 5'3" tall and carry most of my weight in my butt and legs. If only I could get rid of all this fat on top of them I know there are muscles underneath there somewhere!? Sometimes I feel like I will never see them! ;(

Lesliew - I am soooo pmsing this week too! I did kick max this morning and did make it thru w/out kicking the dog - ha ha. I agree on Imax3...Some days I like it some days I just don't. I think it really is the music. I find myself drifting off. I am just an exerciser that NEEDS music to...

Here's my free day agenda.... }( Saturday... -Killer step class at gym in morning + possible combined LB or UB wt workout (usually I take a free day from working out mid week and free day food on Sat) -Protein bar on the way home -Mexican restaurant w/all the fixins for lunch or a tuna...

Yep - all above are correct. Only catch is that not all recipes in EFL are BFL approved. EFL is a great book with tons of good recipes but you have to be careful as some of them have white bread, etc. that is not officially approved on the BFL program Hope this helps.

I too go crazy on free day and find that I do better during the week when I have a real free day :) I do have to say that my friend who won BFL and went from a size 14 to a size 6 did take advantage of free day. She swares by the fact that her success was not cheating! She stuck to the...

I agree with Kim. Although I do love this workout it is way too hard on my knees. I can't do more than once or twice a week :( Plus my knees aren't even that bad but this one sure tends to bug them! There have been some other threads on modifications that might help.

I am so with ya' on this one. I think my endurance has gotten so much better over the years. Sometimes it drives me nuts as it is so much harder for me to get a good workout w/cardio tapes at home anymore. I tend to go the gym classes a lot more than I use to. I kind of miss the days when...

HI there. I too follow body for life and use some of the recipes out of the eating for life book. However, one important note is that not all recipes in that book are truly BFL approved. I find the best results when I stick to the original bfl book. I have the best results when I cut out all...

I like this post :) I had a cup of oatmeal with a few drops of sugar free syrup and 1/2 c cottage cheese.
