RE: ahhh, Thanksgiving memoies Bobbi, Funny you should use one of my favorite adages by Goethe. I like you. I feel your pain when talking of someone you love. My dad is here and he's not and my mom is gone and oh, how I miss her. If I imagine hugging her, I can still smell her skin. Better...

RE: ahhh, Thanksgiving memoies I love my Thanksgiving memories and my mom made the best pies. So in her tradition, I baked a couple pumpkins and whirled and swirled and made two pumpkin pies sans any pumpkin pie spice or nutmeg, just vanilla and cinnamon. I also made a low-fat pumpkin...

Hi, Just wanted to relate my sister's success story because I'm so proud of her...she's lost around 100 pounds since spring and I can attest to the fact that Cathe's videos were a major part of her progress. We started a running program and have been adding miles slowly. We used Cathe's strength...

LAST EDITED ON Nov-05-01 AT 07:14PM (Est)[p]LAST EDITED ON Nov-05-01 AT 07:09 PM (Est) A few (or more) really good chewy German beers. But, I'd take a nice Italian red too...Merlot...and of course, Zin is in (not the pink stuff.) And Trevor, I love Canadian beer too...Molson, Labatt Blue, but...

Cathe, Thank you so much for your advice. I'm going to print it out for reference over the next several months. My sister Molly will especially like the words of wisdom concerning not doing too much too soon. I am sometimes the boot camp leader and don't let up. But, after finishing sprints...

Dear Cathe, I have some training questions requiring your advice. Here's the scenario...I started my sister on a running program back in June. She is now able to run 6 miles (her milestone last week) and has lost 100 lbs. We incorporated running in the morning, your videos in the afternoon...

RE: Oh No! Well, how was it? Or did you opt for another temptation? Amy

Just wanted to let you know that I'll be thinking of you! Break a leg, strike a pose, flex some muscle!!!! Amy

RE: Oh No! Honeybunch, I am a kindred spirit when it comes to baking your own stuff...no hydrogenated oils in my cake. As a matter of fact, everytime I make a pie or pies, especially during the busy holiday season, I sometimes think that maybe I'll buy some pre-made crusts to save time. But...

RE: Oh No! Honeybunch, What's your "legal" goodies? Yesterday, for my husband's birthday, I made a chocolate angel food cake...would that be legal? We usually save our treats for the weekend, so I'm even feeling a little guilty about this all-natural, fat-free, low calorie goodie! Amy

Bobbi, I'll be sure to tell my friend about the breast cancer site. She just had a mastectomy a couple weeks ago. She is a vibrant, sexy, positive mother of six and only 44 years old. She was always the object of desire as a cheerleader when younger and as the wild, fun, witty, uplifting person...

Eating healthy must be a lifestyle. Your kids have to see the benefits that you gain by your habits before they'll adopt them, even if you are strict at home. In other words, they'll eat crappy when you aren't around. We are strict during the week, but have no kids. We eat no flour, sugar, salt...

Wow. I think I'm the only person that thinks good beer is a pig out. Heffeweisen...good...very good...pilsner...crystal clear...Sam Adams...Harp...Penn Pilsner...I just spent 3 weeks in Germany and northern Italy...Erdinger...Paulaner...Fransziskaner(sp) and many more. Amy PS It's time for a...

I have been on Depo (injection every three months) for about 8 years and always thought it was the source of my "last 5 pounds." After a beefed up exercise program this summer, I have lost 14 pounds and kept it off. But, I still have this strip of fat that runs from hip bone to hip bone and...

LAST EDITED ON Oct-01-01 AT 09:44AM (Est)[p]Thanks so much to all of you for your support and especially your prayers. Please keep me and my sister in your hearts today. We are going to the funeral home to make arrangements. Needless to say, Dad isn't doing so well. But, I'm convinced that he'll...

Hi, guys, Thanks for both of your responses. I will get the book that you suggested, Bobbi. I am also going to get a book written by Dr. Snowden that discusses a study that he did with nuns. His research was featured in Time Magazine earlier this year. The plaques found in the brains of the...

Hi, everyone. Yesterday I visited my dad in the nursing home. He's 83 with Alzheimer's. He seems to have suffered a small stroke a few days ago. To make a long story short, he didn't even recognize me or my sister and is not responding to any conversation. His disease is progessing at a rapid...

Just reading this post and feeling very happy for those who were lucky and very, very sad for those who were not. My husband and his brother and I just got back from Munich. We were climbing in the Italian Dolomites when we found out about this debacle. I was waiting in a refugio for them to...

Tracey, My sister started a running program after reading a book at the beach (with a beer in one hand and a smoke in the other). I'm happy to say that after starting eight weeks ago, she now can run for 30 minutes at a time. I run for 30 minutes before she gets here in the morning and then we...
