I think I'll start with 30/30 when we get back from my parents' house and later that week get DH to do the MMA workouts with me (I'm probably looking forward to it more than he is!). I'm also really looking forward to Step Moves. I love intricate choreography! I'm so excited!

I took Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo for almost four-and-a-half years and quit last August. I'm glad I did, because the the pill was partially masking my hypothyroidism. Also, the cramping during my period has been much less painful now that I'm off the pill. I haven't noticed a change in the amount of...

Terri- I think I'm going to alternate Gym Styles and Muscle Max and maybe a few weeks of something different. I haven't really decided yet, but this is what I'm thinking right now. I can't wait for STS! Lauren

My mom taught aerobics in the 80s, so I definitely associate 80s music with working out. I remember my mom using Bon Jovi, Madonna, Janet Jackson, Michael Jackson, Taylor Dayne, Bob Seger, Robert Palmer, Adam Ant, Bryan Adams, to name a few. I still love all the music my mom used and I also...

Belinda- I have absolutely no idea what the brand was! It's chrome and breaks down into 3 pieces with an allen wrench and has screw-on collars. I think it's around 6' when fully assembled. Sorry I can't be more help--I already got rid of the box! If you get the same barbell, make sure you...

Oh, wow. I had wanted the iPhone (I'm a mac user) but couldn't justify the cost. Maybe these will come with a good rebate. Here's hoping!

Wendy- Thanks for the link! I would really like a Troy lite (so I can be just like Cathe & Co. LOL) and haven't seen such a great price on them. Can't wait to move out of apartment and into house!

Thanks! I'll definitely be checking the Blackberries out this summer.

Ditto on C9. I've been very disappointed with Victoria's Secret bras in the past. I just bought 3 C9 bra/cami tops a few weeks ago and have 5 or 6 others. Sports bras just do not last that long, so I hate spending a lot of money on them! I'd also suggest buying according to your band size...

For step, I really like Seasun Zieger and Patrick Goudeau. Most of my non-Cathe DVDs are for easy days, though. I like Tamilee Webb's Fit to the Hits and Cardio Blast and Crunch's Cardio Salsa, Fat Burning Party, and Cardio Dance Blast. I also have quite a few of my mom's old Kathy Smith...

Kudos tneah! I hate when people say we shouldn't have an emotional connection to our food. Why eat at all if it isn't pleasurable? Doesn't mean we have to "eat our problems." I have tea every day and also a carton of Fage Total every morning. Those are really the only daily constants. I...

Rose- I'm glad you posted this info. I am moving this summer to another state and have decided to get a new cellphone to go with my new number. I have been considering the Blackberry Curve (DH thinks it's ridiculous and will most likely get whatever the free phone is lol). I haven't totally...

Hi! I'm a Teaching Assistant at a state university. Last semester I had an upper division class. Most of the people were excited to be there, attendance was good, and averages on tests were good. Granted, there was some stupidity and laziness, but not an overwhelming amount. This semester...

Dave- I love the Samoas x3 too! :-) This year I honestly avoided all the little Girl Scouts (but I wouldn't refuse if anyone had asked me!) which was easy being a college student with no children. However, one of my professors brought Thin Mints and Tagalongs to seminar last week. I just...

Not Wendy (obviously) but I thought I'd let you know that I have an 11.5 lb barbell that came from Wal-Mart and was really cheap. I'm not expecting it to last me forever, but it breaks down into 3 pieces, which is great since I currently live in an apartment. It also uses standard size plates...
