    Better gas up........

    Are you posting a reply to me???? My name is Rebecca or "jpp" from videofitness. This site is certainly everything I heard it was from the VFers. All in one week I have seen very bad cursing in a post that somehow disappeared. Now a personal attack from someone who apparently thinks they know...

    Better gas up........

    Bush is moving his butt on this so not sure what you'd like him to do. Gosh, I cannot wait to hear the outcry about how other countries are being stingy about relief money sent to La. I wonder if we'll hear that like we did about our country during the tsunami thing? Even though we went way...

    manufacturers trying to fool the semi-educated?

    There are certainly lots of misleading labeling, or even labeling that's just inaccurate. My favorite is 1%, 2%, etc. milk labels. Many people believe that those numbers actually mean that there is that percentage of fat in the milk. 1% milk is actually about 25% fat I believe.

    Doctor in trouble for calling patient obese

    The doctor went a little too far with the "companionship" comment but he basically told the patient something she did not want to hear: that she is fat and needs to cut the weight. Alot more people need to hear bluntness like that rather than looking for compassion all of the time. Get off your...

    IMPORTANT....about GAS PRICES

    Not sure what you want the government to do about it really. There are many factors affecting prices. One of the major factors is Clinton's friends the Chinese whose consumption is way up over what they have used in the past. There are other factors too, related in part to the fact that because...

    800 situps?

    Understood. My thing is, for some of us anyway, we have enough things in our lives to keep us busy rather than just workout for hours on end. If you need hundreds of reps of anything to stimulate the muscles, then something is amiss in my opinion. Instead of endlessly trying to increase reps...

    Interest Poll: what is your religious background?

    Agnostic here, because mainly I need proof of God's existence beyond the normal things that people use as proof that are actually things that can be explained by science. To call someone a sinner for not believing in God is wrong in my view. A few questions I'd ask would be: If God is a loving...

    cast out of shape !!!!

    Actually it makes little sense. There may be a few who are as you described, but I don't really think you can group all of them that way. It is possible to be in shape and not like Cathe or her workouts. Cathe is advanced but her workouts are very doable by individuals who are in decent shape...

    cast out of shape !!!!

    VF and Collage involve more than one instructor, unlike this site where you have just Cathe. Those differences mean you are going to see people criticize Cathe more at the other sites. That's what they are there for, to analyze and critique various instructors. I think Cathe is in good shape but...

    Interesting Piece on Morgan Spurlock/Supersize Me

    Sparrow-thanks for posting. We may get through the media hype yet!:-) And from MSNBC no less--I am shocked to be honest.

    Interesting Piece on Morgan Spurlock/Supersize Me

    Actually, eating McDonald's does not put fat on your ass, as you so eloquently put it.(thought there was no cursing in here) Overeating at McDonald's puts the fat on. That's the point that very few seem to understand. I am not promoting fast food because it does wreak havoc on cholesterol...

    What happened to these kids ????????????

    Actually food grown without some applied pesticides have their own risks because bacteria, etc. are allowed to thrive on these foods. Pesticides "improve" the health of the consumer by their very function---to prevent harmful bugs, etc. from wreaking havoc on the crops. Any type of farming done...

    Jessica Simpson selling plus sized jeans?

    J.S. selling plus sized clothing is as ridiculous as it would be if she sold educational toys for kids. I never liked her because it's hard for me to respect anyone who flaunts being uneducated/uninformed(perhaps just plain dumb) as a way to be liked by the public. And from clips I have seen...

    People trying to lose weight at McDonald's

    Hi Carolyn, It was biased against McDonald's because he ate many more calories of their food than is recommended for a daily total cal intake. Or so I heard as I never saw the movie. This gives people the incorrect impression that if you eat at McDonald's at all, you will get fat. Eating junk...
