    Multiple cats

    I have 4 cats and 2 boxes. One has become the "pee" box and the other the "poo" box. We had 3 boxes but they never used the 3rd so we put it away. I scoop twice a day and completely change out the litter twice a week. When we had just two cats we also had 2 litter boxes but they never used the...

    Pet peeve about DH

    Y'all are cracking me up with this thread. My DH does almost all of these. Really, the only ones he's not guilty of are: turning off the lights while I'm using them and flossing outside of the bathroom as that would require flossing in the first place! As if I didn't have enough I'll add two...

    Need Kitten Tips

    I want to second the squirt gun approach. I have 4 kitties and a dog and they stop whatever they are doing if I pull out the sprayer (it's actually one of those for your hair set on "stream" instead of "mist"). It took several sprays before they got it but, if I had to guess, I probably haven't...

    what was your first job??

    My first job was at a tuxedo rental store in the mall when I was 15. It was really a good job, I think I started at $6.00 an hour plus we got a quarter for every accessory upsale we did (vests, special cuff links, etc.) and $10 for every wedding party we booked. I worked there for three years...

    Would you have done it?

    I wouldn't turn the soap around at the doctor's office but I would at home. I really don't care how others organize but it does bother me at my house or in my office. I don't turn the cans facing the right direction in the pantry but I do put like items together (i.e. all the green beans...

    Belly piercing migrated

    Janie, What do you mean that the piercing "migrated" through the skin? I've had mine pierced for about 10 years and your post has me a little freaked out! :o

    Hi, new here

    Hi Larissa! I don't post often but I wanted to welcome you to the board. I love Cathe's workouts and wish I would have found them when I was trying to lose weight. I lost 60 lbs counting calories (I used the desktop software from Calorie King.com). I looked into WW and converting...

    Which Cathe DVDs would you take to Paris?

    Will you have any free time during the day? If so you can do A LOT of walking in Paris. If your only "down time" is at night, walking (unless you have a group) wouldn't be an option I would take. When I was there in 2002 our room was quite small and I don't think I would have been able to do a...

    Kitchen Nightmares TV show

    I've watched both of them. Last night I made the mistake of watching it while eating dinner! Ewww! I cannot believe that restaurant. If I were Gordon Ramsey I would have called the Health Department and had the inspectors that are responsible for reviewing that restaurant FIRED. UNBELIVEABLE!

    Calorie burn for Fat loss?

    The site or software is fee based. I purchased both (you don't need both!). I like the desktop diary better, it's easier to use and you don't have to be contected to the internet to use it. It also is just a one time fee for the software (I think it was like $40). The website diary fee is $20 or...

    Calorie burn for Fat loss?

    According to the food diary I use (CalorieKing) your maintenance calories are 1657 based off of an "office job" lifestyle at your current age, height and weight. If you have a more active job add 200 calories. So to lose one pound a week you should NET 1157 calories a day (food calories -...

    Excercise Routine question...

    I'm not an expert but I agree that it's probably time to switch up your routine. I think 3 days cardio and 3 days weights is fine but doing the same thing over and over leads to fitness plateaus and risks overuse injury as you are performing the same things over and over. Since you are doing...

    Calorie burn for Fat loss?

    I checked my food diary and 287 is about what I burn with B&G. I agree with the poster above. Tracking what calories you take in is as important as how many you burn. You need a 500 calorie a day deficit to lose one pound a week and a 1,000 calorie per day deficit to lose two pounds per week...
