    Curves for Women--what do you think?

    My 60 year old mom went to Curves and lost about 30 pounds. But she got accustomed to the work out pretty quickly and hit a major plateau. That's the problem - it's the same workout every time - no variety, no weight increases... And you have to do the circuits - you can't just show up and...

    Benefits of Oatmeal?

    My best friend is a nutritionist. She was at my apartment and saw a box of instand oatmeal (I think it was the brown sugar flavor) and told me I might as well eat a candy bar for breakfast. Now I eat either the slow-cooked steel-cut oats or the quick-cooking type. But I like oatmeal. If...

    Infomercial ? -Found anything good out there?

    I can't remember the name of it, but I want that ladder that goes to all the different heights. I don't know what I would do with it, considering that I live in a small Manhattan apartment! Goes to show you the power that infomercials have. The only things I've ever bought from...

    Surreal life... Am I the only one watching???

    I haven't really gotten into this season, but I can't wait for next season! They will have Janice Dickinson (from America's Next Top Model) and Omarosa! I can't imagine those two in a house together. It's going to be brutal.

    Who do you think will win the Amazing Race?

    I agree with you, McKee! I would love Rob and Amber to win. I like Uchenna and Joyce, but I can't stand Kelly (I don't really mind Ron). Did you see the preview for next week? Kelly told Ron that his patterns in life show that he can't commit to anything. Including the military, because he...

    Really embarrassed but need support!

    Oh Malissa, What a bummer. It sucks that herpes still has such a stigma attached to it. I have a friend who had a similar situation - the guy was hesitant to keep seeing her when she told him, but then she gave him a bunch of information to read and he decided it wasn't a big deal after all...

    Good News/Bad News

    Hi Irene, Instead of carrying weights, you could buy a weighted vest. Or carry some weights in a backpack. That way you won't put any pressure on the nerves in your arms. I used to go hiking with a weighted vest and it really gets the heart pumping! It's very nice of you to help your...

    CALLING CATHEITES FAMILIAR WITH ITALY

    The Cinque Terre are gorgeous. If you are only there for two days, Verazza is probably the right choice for you. Just be prepared for massive amounts of tourists. I wish I could recommend a place to stay, but I stayed with my Italian boyfriend when I visited (I was living in Florence at the...

    Proof that "what comes around goes around"

    Cathe's kickboxing compared to...

    Hi WantFit, I checked FitTV's schedule and it doesn't look like KPC is on in the next couple of weeks. I'll keep checking and let you know when I see it. By the way, Cathe is on M-F at 9am and again at 11am...

    Cathe's kickboxing compared to...

    Mary, I started working out again in Feb. after a two-year break. I was so out of shape when I started. But I'm surprised at how quickly my fitness level improved - I'm sure you will be in great shape in no time!

    Cathe's kickboxing compared to...

    Mary, Thanks for the info! I tried Millenium #3 and really liked it. I wasn't very winded, but I liked the drills. It's a great low-impact workout. I am actually feeling it in my arms today, and that rarely happens to me! WantFit - I don't know if you can get FITtv on your television...

    Cathe's kickboxing compared to...

    Mary, Is it possible to get the first two in the Millenium series on DVD? I only ordered the third one because I thought the other two were VHS only. I would love to get them all! Thanks, lee To WantFit - KPC and KickMax can be substituted for each other. I like them both, but I...

    Face exercises?

    I've read countless times that it is useless to exercise your face. If it really worked, I'd have awesome facial definition from all the gum I chew!

    Amazing Race (spoilers inside)

    Ooooh, I love this show! I hope Rob/Amber win too. I've loved Rob since Survivor. They are great racers. I couldn't believe Kelly (beauty queen) called Ron a "redneck hick". How obnoxious. They are a terrible couple. I felt bad that the brothers got eliminated, but they made way...

    Lo Max onFITTV

    I agree, Conni! I did my Low Max DVD from 6pm - 7pm, then watched it on FITtv at 7pm because I was curious to see how much was chopped out. It's missing quite a few intense blasts. I'm not positive, but I think they completely cut the 3rd and 4th intervals (both the step routines and blasts).

    Ryka shoe size

    I think it depends - if you are always the same size when you buy shoes, then I would order your normal size. But if you fluctuate (I can never tell if I'm going to have to buy a 7 or 7 1/2), then I would get the higher size.
