    Get your mammograms ladies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I've just had a mass detected on my mammogram and am now awaiting a biopsie. I'm confident it's nothing serious but I just wanted to take the opportunity to remind everyone how important regular health screenings are. We're all working hard on good health and let's not forget these important...

    My confidence soared & I took a chance

    Of course we musn't forget the tremendous support that you all provide. Truly, it is comforting just knowing that validation and support and long distance friendship is always just a click away. You know I never used to log in all that much but now I'm on every day just because I get a kick...

    My confidence soared & I took a chance

    I had been working out for many years, starting with swimming to strengthen the muscles of my back. I had soliosis surgery at age 14 and in my 20's I started having severe pain. My doctor then said, more surgery or try exercise. Well, I was, up until that point, a dedicated coach potato and...

    A word of warning to all the aspartame addicts...

    Just a thought re: the chemical vs. natural debate. I think both elements have their place. For example, I must remain on the birth control pill, not to prevent pregnancy but to save my life! Without it I would not ovulate or have periods and eventually this can and does cause uterine cancer...

    Has anyone had or considered a tummy tuck?

    I had a tummy tuck four years ago after having twins in 1995. Once I had worked off the weight gain, I was left with a large amount of hanging skin. I could not be MORE pleased with the results. However, that being said, one must be so very careful with these decisions. I had to do a lot of...

    Power 90

    I must agree here. These tapes are cheap looking and so cheesy. Tony thinks he's quite the comedian and you just wanna smack him. Anyway, I think it's a waste of money and Cathe and the Firm will keep you getting your money's worth. Sharon in Houston

    Goin' Nuts!!!

    I just needed to vent a wee bit. I've been out of commission for the last 4 weeks since having back surgery and not working out is making me bonkers!!!! For the first couple of weeks I felt too crappy to care really, but since feeling better it's been soooo hard not to work out. It's such a...

    Reebok Core Board Classes?

    Hello Pammer. I teach a Sports Core class at my gym and I do both aerobic drills and strengthening/core exercises at the end. Wouldn't hurt to see the instructor and find out what her class has. It seems to be one of those things that some folks love and some not so much. Hope this helps...

    Why do I keep gaining weight??

    This may sound crazy but, maybe you are not eating enough? I was battling a similar problem not too long ago and I was severely frustrated. I was teaching several classes a week and really watching my eating. I started working with a trainer at the club I teach at and he said I needed to up...

    Why do you wear that little bracelet?

    RE: Hi, Susan! Hey guys, I remember this question before and Cathe did say that the band is to remind her to say right when it's her left and so on. As an instructor, it's a skill I'm still terrible at. My brain can't seem to juggle quite as many tasks at one time as Cathe's can.

    Pregnant and very worried about baby

    RE: Cyber HUGS! Again, I can't comment on low heartbeat specifically, however, I think I probably had every scare known to pregnancy, single or twin, which is what I had. Anyway all I can offer is that I empathize with the anxiety this produces and I will pray for you and your unborn child...

    Do you feel bad?

    Been there, been there, been there. I went through a time in my life when I worked out sooo much and absolutely would not let fat or any kind of junk food pass through my lips. I was tired, physically and emotionaly wrung out. I got sick constantly and looking back at photos, I looked like...

    Why why why are people always so very negative/unsupportive?

    I know exactly how you feel. When I was pregnant with my twins, people with no children asked us if we knew what we were getting ourselves into. People I worked with delighted in commenting on how HUGE I was getting and I was proud of every single pound of it!!!!! For the first time in my...
