Okay I just bought some cute new black gauchos. Or maybe they are cropped pants - I don't know how they decide what to call them! Anyway, they come to about mid-calf and they could be dressed up or down with a jacket, sweater, etc. It's not cold enough to wear boots with them yet, but it...

I know there are lots of animal lovers here, so I wanted to let everyone know that the Humane Society of the United States has filed a lawsuit against Amazon.com for carrying publications and DVDs about dogfighting and cockfighting. I can't believe that Amazon would do that! Here's the link to...

I have been trying since last spring to loose 10 pounds and they won't budge! I have lost and gained back the same three points at least 5 times! A few years ago I lost 35 pounds with WW and loved their point system, but I still gained back 10 pounds - careless on my part! I'm thinking...

In the past six years, I have had really bad sprains on my left ankle twice (swelling up like a baseball!). The second time, I went to a sports medicine doctor who had me wear a "boot" and I had three weeks of physical therapy. That was about 3 1/2 years ago. I have always felt that ankle was...

In the last few years I have rediscovered my love of playing the piano - after a 20-year break!The hard part seems to be finding good music. I really like what you might call "new age" music - lots of melody and a soothing or happy sound. I recently found a great web site...

I just ran across this - it's from 1954. All if can say is "OH MY!!!" HOW TO BE A GOOD WIFE Home Economics High School Text Book, 1954 Have dinner ready. Plan ahead, even the night before, to have a delicious meal, on time. This is a way of letting him know that you have been...

I am looking for a low calorie recipe for chocolate mousse - one that doesn't have heavy cream in it! I have some beautiful crystal dessert stemware that belonged to my grandmother, and I would love to use it for a mousse for Easter dessert. Does anyone happen to have a recipe?

I am trying to figure out what is wrong with me, and I ran across some information on celiac disease (gluten intolerance) which I think may be the problem. Does anyone have this? If so, how were you diagnosed and how do you deal with it? Thanks!

I read last week that Cathe said she got the first available appointment with the doctor she needs to see for her injury - March 30- almost two weeks! I was thinking about this because the amount of time it takes to get in to see a doctor is really getting to be an issue! I called my doctor...

Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed that people don't take the time to say "thank you for your help" anymore? It seems that thoughtfulness a dying art - making people feel comfortable or happy that they went out of their way to help someone. I know you aren't supposed to do things because...

Here is my question - why do clothes suddenly have hoods on everything? They are on robes, pullover tops, jackets, etc. I keep thinking - why do a I need a hood in the HOUSE - especially on a bathrobe? Does anyone else think this is a strange fashion trend?

The post about a one-year anniversary of exercising with Cathe made me think back to my VERY FIRST workout! It was in July of 1982 - with Jane Fonda of course!!!! I remember that she wanted you to run in place (barefooted) for THREE MINUTES!!! She said "this is the cardiovascular portion of our...

Just wanted to pass this on - I just got a new step workout called Step By Design from a new instructor - Carole Paradise. She has been an instructor of many years, but this is her first video. It's really fun! It's all step - about 45 minutes including the warm up and step routine (I didn't go...

I really don't like the expression "Oh My God" and we hear it all the time! I find myself saying it without thinking, and I have decided to make a real effort to stop. I just can't stand the way it sounds! Does it bug anyone else?

Since there were lots of weight lifting tapes in the Hardcore Series, I would LOVE to see a Step Series - three or four new step tapes that are all step - no circuits or weightlifting included. Thanks!

I just got a bunch of jewelry out of my grandmother's jewelry box. It's been sitting there for 20 years since she passed away, and I suddenly realized that the necklaces and brooches are back in style. Needless to say, it's a little "gunky" after being closed up in a box for that long. Can...

I would like to request that those who use obsenities when they post be banned from this site. That is what is happening on a thread in the Open Discussions section. I find it very offensive and unnecessary. I know profanity is commonplace these days, but I think this should be one place we...

I was just thinking about all my favorite exercise instructors - Cathe, Charlene Prickett, Mindy Mylrea, Kelli Roberts, etc. And then it occurred to me that I have never seen them in videos or in pictures in "regular" clothes! They are always in workout clothes! It made me wonder what kind of...

Hi Cathe, I love all of your workouts! I did Step Jam, Push and Pull and the abs from Cardio and Weights last night and I feel strong today! My question is about breathing. I have noticed that when I do weights, I always seem to be exhaling when you say to inhale, or visa versa. I don't...

Hi Cathe, I just got through doing Rhythmic Step and Push and Pull - they are both so much fun! I am enjoying Push and Pull so much because it's helping me work up to using heavier weights - thanks! Anyway, as I was working out, I was thinking about how amazing all the technology we have...
