Thank you so much for the information Robin! I will discuss this with my doctor in November! Lorrie

Thanks so much Kathy! I have a Dr. appt in Nov. and will ask her about the Shaklee supplements. My Dr. at one point prescribed a low dose of Paxil to help me sleep but I didn't get it filled because I didn't like what a read about it. Statistics apparently show that while surgical menopause...

Hi Cathe, I've been doing your workouts for years. Normally 6 days per week 60 to 90 minutes each. I'm 41, 5'2", 104lbs. Last year I had to have a total hysterectomy due to uterine cancer. I recovered quickly because I was in good shape (thanks!) However, I was thrown into full blown...

I buy almost all my clothes on ebay. I get tons of stuff with the original price tags still on. I just got an $88.00 Banana Republic skirt for $14.99 and a $125.00 pair of Kenneth Cole shoes for $23.00. I stick to the brands I know fit me so I'm rarely disappointed. And if something doesn't...

Don't despair! Keep in mind that if you get a lower rise jean the size will be a little bigger because the waist is closer to your hips. For me, the best fitting jeans are Lucky Brand and I usually get a size bigger than I wear in pants because I like low rise. Lucky's are ridiculously...

Bump! I turned 40 last Sept. and having the same problems, elbow and back aches. Thanks for any input Cathe! Lorrie

No matter how hard I try I just can't do the quarter-jacks. My arms and legs won't synchronize. I can do regular jacks and half-jacks just fine but am a major dork when I attempt the quarters. Maybe I should try one-third jacks or three-quarter jacks instead :-)

5. For the awesome variety and challenge of her workouts. 4. For her sparkling personality that makes it feel as if I'm working out with a friend. 3. For helping me, at 40, achieve the fittest physique of my life and being the perfect example of what 40 can look like when you work...

I have 3 mini dachshunds, Oscar, Charlie and Jacob, that I love more than life itself! Charlie and Jacob are from rescue. Both are considered "special needs". Charlie was turned into rescue with a severe case of trench mouth and had to have almost all his teeth extracted, he only has 4 teeth...

I love Lucky's too - I have 6 pairs and I got all of them on ebay for ridiculously low prices. Lucky's are hot items on ebay. Be sure you get the exact measurements from the Seller and you can hardly go wrong. I usually go to the Lucky website, find the style I like and then find it on ebay...

Hi! I can relate! I had a total hysterectomy due to uterine cancer just 6 wks ago. I'm now cancer free (yay!!!) and I began working out again this week. I know what you mean about the swelly belly. Some days mine isn't there and then other days it's pretty poofy. Seems to get poofier if I...

Hi Cathe, Thanks to your workouts I'm in great shape for someone who will be turning 40 in Sept. I'm 5'2" 103lbs with lots of muscle definition. I work out 5-6 days per week. I feel fit and healthy so it was quite a shock to learn I have endometrial cancer. I will be having a total...

Hi Angela! I just had one 2 wks ago for endometrial hyperplasia and I did have some polyps also. It was a piece of cake for me. Surgery at 7:00 home by 9:30. No pain at all, a bit of a sore throat from the anesthesia but after a full day of rest I was fine, even did a light work out...

Thank you guys for the kind words, I so appreciate them. I checked out the hystersisters website - there is sure a lot I didn't know about this procedure! I'm scared. I hope I'll feel better once I have my initial conference with the gyn/onc doctor and know exactly what will happen. I...

So...I had a uterine biopsy in April, no atypical cells, doc decided on a D&C. Had that last week and now - cancer cells in my uterine lining. Doc referred me to a gynocological oncologist and I have an appt 8/9. Have no idea what type of hysterectomy I'll be having but the docs were unable...

Please accept my sincerest condolences. There is a website www.petlossquilt.com where you can create a memorial patch for Hampton (Dakota too) to add to the cyber quilt created by other people who have lost their beloved pets. Maybe that would help? As the mom of 3 dachshunds I tear up when...

Hi guys, This is kind of personal but I'm hoping someone else might be familiar with my situaion. I have a doctor appt. on 4/22 but until then am looking for information. I was on birth control pills for 20 years non-stop, no break whatsoever. In August of 2002 I decided to get off them...

So glad your pupper has bounced back! I have 2 dachshunds. Last year my youngest had an allergic reaction to his vaccinations - his whole face puffed up and he got hives all over. Boy was that scary. So this year the vet split up his vaccinations, a week apart, and gave him a shot of...

RE: Do you like Body Blaster or Intensity Series better... Hi Melissa, This won't help you decide but I love both series. BB has a lot of variety which keeps it from getting boring and after I did the workouts a couple times I started using heavier weights and have seen great results. For...

I LOVE Dr. Suess and I'm also an environmentalist and animal rights advocate. Since the Lorax was also an environmentalist (way before it was politically correct, I might add) his name seemed like a perfect choice to me. "Save the Truffula trees!" The Lorax is also short and has sort of a...
