Sorry Jen ! For some reason , I was not able to just reply to your message , so I had to post this in 3 parts backwards - I hope it still makes sense ! Kate

He was able to leave the ovaries , so there was no need for HRT and after a rough go , he was able to take the uterus vaginally , so I only had tiny scars from the Laparoscope . I mention all this because my Dr. was a really great guy so he really fought for the best possible outcome for me ...

I had not only Endometriosis , but Adnomiosis [sp?] which is basically Endometriosis in the muscle /wall of the uterus . The only way to know it's there is to autopsy the tissue after the Hysterectomy . I had just married and was about 30 yrs. and no Dr. wanted to touch me because they were...

Hi Jen , Wow , what an awful position to be in ! First let me say that it sounds like you have terrific insight into things and finding a Dr. that you trust is more important than anything . I wouldn't worry so much about the length of time it takes to find a new Dr. because it's the most...

Carolyn , We're almost the same height - I'm 5'7 and I swear I was 5'7.5 in my 20's , but such is life . Not posting your numbers ??? Ha - I'm just kidding , but I know how you feel . I'm aiming for Julie's numbers someday ! Julie - I love TTM ! I always do the extreme premix because I like the...

I did it tonight - WOW, that was great ! It is super hard but it also went by fast because the energy is so much fun . I have to say , my shoulders started to fail me after all that upper body work but I was a sweaty , happy mess afterwards !

Carolyn , I did read about that surgery a bit . I don't see how you could have known that it would be risky .On the surface , I understand the theory behind the fractures strengthening the cartilage , and I'm sure your dr. made it sound good as well , because that's what they do . The only thing...

Hi everyone ! I'm so glad you all know the , " Claw " ! Well , not glad , but you understand . It's so frustrating when you know that you could lift heavier but some body part gets in the way . I will be looking into the Versa Grips ! Julie - I admit , I do push to a crazy extent sometimes ...

Hi everyone ! I hope you all had a nice long weekend - I tried to help my mom with some bookkeeping today but mostly hung out with my dogs . Everyone I know took off . The 1st w/o from GG month #2 gave me the best DOMS ! I did that one last Thursday and hobbled around for 2 days ! I don't know...

PS - I used 2 20's for the side bends but didn't feel all that much - maybe my obliques will be sore tomorrow ?

Carolyn , I know what you mean - between the Cathe strength w/o's and the GG w/o's and the new Cathe's that have weights for the cardio it's hard to really rest what you need to sometimes . That's why I had to laugh when I crashed into the floor on those push ups because my arms/chest gave out ...

Hi Carolyn , I'm glad to hear you liked FT - I haven't tried it yet , but did preview it . I think Julie said it really got her triceps . I wonder why Cathe focused so much on light weights / high reps ? I will say that doing all those reps at a higher speed really burns , but it seems like the...

homewilcox , you rock ! I loved the 2 sections I did but will have to psych up to face the whole thing . Justine , X10 should be perfect to use w/ STS - I've been doing mostly lifting and just doing cardio blasts - really loving X10 !

This was the first w/o I tried and really loved it too ! It always takes me a few times to get the punching combo's but I wore my 1lb, wrist weights through the whole thing [ they help me punch better ] and was totally drenched by the end . It really fly's by and I don't think I realized how...

I also love X10 and the Cardio Blast was great , but I also love Hi/lo . I tacked it on after GS Back , Shoulder , Biceps which worked out well because there's some high rep upper body in it . I can see so many uses for X10 and at some point will try to do the whole thing through !

Julie - I haven't varied my weight with my reps , I just stick with the same . I did the reverse lunges with my vest and db's . If I'm being honest , 70 lbs . was really heavy for those and I had some balance issues as it was . All I could think of was tipping backwards with the barbell . I have...

I don't feel that I over exaggerated . I summed up her remarks and stated my opinion on them . You can disagree with me but my take on her review had nothing to do with exaggeration - but rather interpretation . I fully understand what the star ratings mean - I still find the point of the...

Carolyn - Glad to hear you say that ! I knew better than to try - at least at this point . Our workouts are the same , it just depends when you start them . Amanda started a week before me so she got her 2nd month before I did . Now when I checked today the new w/o's were waiting for me - they...

I'm glad I found this thread because I was steaming over the same reviews , but the thing that really got me was that somebody felt the need to knock their rating down because they hated the music AND because it was too loud ! Now , we can all agree or disagree over music but it really seems...

Hi everyone ! Sorry I haven't checked in for a bit - I got behind in my GG w/o's and did one yesterday to try and catch up - even so , I think I'll start the new month of GG this week ... Sunday I did X10 Cardio blast [ I really think I'm going to love the X10's ] and GG strength #2: Reverse...
