Wow, this was a bad thread for me to get into. My DH works "seasonal" so SOON he will be home all day every day for 3 months. Right now he is working 70+ hours/week and that isn't enough for me. I don't know how we will survive (serious) when he's home all the time. He mentioned going on...

Mine LOOKS great in my work out room!!! ;-) Don't EVER use it but I'm one of those who needs a program to work out with and I didn't see the challenge in the body dome work out!

I think it would depend on what videos you do? I am the same way -- a stay-at-home mom with PLENTY of time on my hands but what I usually do is 1 Cathe video and 30 minutes on my elliptical and a brisk hour walk in the woods with my 2 dogs (Smith & Wesson). I too feel if I didn't work out I...

Holding strong to 28.:7

Yea, why lie?? Dumb. Not like we need to know everything that goes on in celebrities lives but really I'm proud of the fact that I work out even though I don't look "perfect". I have this neighbor who EVERY time I see her she'll mention how she was exercising and "this" happened or something...

My BFF always gives me her old People magazines and I read in People and US Weekly that Janet Jackson has lost "16 pounds" although compared to her other most recent picture it looks like a lot more and she claims she works out 30 minutes a day for 5 days. Could that be true?? Not that the...

That bump sign is too funny. My husband won't buy me heavier weights -- I currently have 6, 8, 10, 15, & 20 lbs and for the new DVDs I want to get 12s, 25s, and 30s....he said I'll have to start cutting my shirts because my arms won't fit I'll be too bulky.

Pixie Meredith gave a shout out to Cathe in her Weight Loss article. She went from 208 lbs to 140 and credited walking on her tredmill and then buying a dumbbell set and doing 1/2 hour Cathe Friedrich weight-training. Thought that was cool.....love to hear people talk about Cathe.

I did mine at Hoot Lake in Fergus Falls, MN. I gave it my 100%. I came in 156 out of 211 and 8th out of 16 in my age group. I am not a swimmer and have never swum 1/4 mile (didn't even train for it) so it took me almost 16 minutes to do it....but I did it!!! My husband was my biggest fan and...

I hate to waste your time with this - I know you are busy. But I just have to thank you from the bottom of my heart! I just competed in my first triathlon....something I've wanted to do for a couple years and I credit you with my endurance to get it done!! I didn't do it in lightning speed or...

What is Cardio Coach?? I also have a Nordic Track Space Saver which is covered in sweat...what are you supposed to clean it with?? Do you have a iFit card with your NT???

I log on every morning with credit card in hand!!! }( :D

How do you get pictures on your avatar???

"Starting Tonight" by Alabama. Very nice song and haven't even heard it since -- I think our DJ left with our CD. I got married when I was 19. 9 years (this 4th of July), 3 girls, and a brand new house later we are still on our honeymoon!!!! :-)

Brokeback Mountain. FARGO (I live 30 miles from Fargo and saw NO humor in it) and most recently I wasted $20 buying "The Dead Girl" it had a super star cast (Brittney Murphy, I LOVE her) and it was HORRIBLE. It said on the back "one of the top 10 movies from 2006" got me to wondering were...
