    ++++PG test, please pray for me!

    I posted here about a month or 2 ago about if 35 was too old to have a baby. I got some great answers here that were positive. After 4 years of trying with 2 miscarriages we were getting really discouraged. We decided to go see a specialist in June for some help. Well, yesterday I woke up in...

    Jillian Michaels DVD review

    My cousing gave me a 5 dvd set of Jillian Michaels workouts for my bday in april. Just tried the first 2 yesterday. WOW. I have watched Biggest Loser before but these workouts are a challenge. They are only 29-32 min long, so I did 2 for one day's workout. She splits them into working your...

    4 DS for the not so heavy lifter..

    Ok, I am thinking of starting a new rotation with the 4DS but I still am not able to lift very heavy weights due to a hernia, I don't use anything heavier than 10 dumbells and I can't lift anything greater than 8 over my head. All that being said, will the lifting portion of the 4DS be able to...

    How many of you....

    actually do the 40 min steady state run that Cathe sometimes puts in her rotations? I am doing the circuit city rotation and decided to actually do the run instead of substitute with another form of cardio like I always do. I ran 5 miles, and it took about 50 min instead. Wow, what a workout...

    Babies after 35?

    I was just taking a poll here of those of you that have had children over the age of 35. I am going to be 35 tomorrow, DH and I have been trying for 4 years for a third, and have been told that its very unlikely to become pregnant after 35 without "heroic" measures. We have recently begun the...

    This is week 3 of a 6 weeks cathe break. I replaced cathe with old taebo get ripped and live vol 1-12, and amy bento. I have to say that when i did the taebo videos 8-9 years ago they were much harder that they are now (thanks to cathe). I didn't care for amy bento the first few times I did...

    Has anyone see TLC's Jon and Kate plus 8?

    I just found TLC on our direct tv and I watched it all night last night. For all you parents out there, watch an episode of Jon and Kate plus 8(children that is). It will make what goes on at your home absolutely tame in comparison. I don't know how they do it, God bless them, and I am so...

    taking a break from Cathe-long

    I am taking a break from Cathe. I think I need a twelve step program to assist me here. I have been training with her since 2003 non stop (except for pregnancy, colds, injuries, etc). I was beginning to hate working out period, didn't want to even look at my step or another weight. So I put...

    Cardio in the 4DS-a must have?

    I am thinking of buying the 4ds-the weight lifting portion for my DH and the cardio for me. Is this a good buy? I love the energy in Cathe's IMAX 2 and 3, kind of what I am looking for here too. Any opinions? Thanks!

    Okay, I have been reading on this forum about the water bottle/plastic contamination of our bottled water, and the suggestion to try different means to carry your water.

    Ok, it has now been 96 hours since my treatment. WOW! I can't believe the change in my skin. NO new breakouts, and the peppering (the freckles and dark spots) that I was complaining about all came off last night when I washed my face. I have now changed my opinion of this procedure. I...

    Laser tx for acne

    Well I did it. I went for my first of 3-5 laser resurfacings for the treatment of acne, brown spots, blah, blah blah. I was told to expect to look more freckled after the procedure until you skin flakes off, but OMG you should see me. I sure hope my acne improves, because I look not so good...
