Have any of you taken one or some of Cathe's killer 6" step height cardio routines and made it even more killer at 8"? If so, which ones come to mind? (and I know of at least one person who just does it all at 8") Gisela

Well, I would've been bursting! How cool! And, congrats! Gisela

I recently found one in a thrift store that is slightly bent. When you step on one corner, the opposite corner lifts up.

Tess-awesome! It's so great to find new (and easy) menu items so we don't go nuts with boredom! Gisela

I also have to say, when I'm at my "thin" weight I feel like an imposter. I feel like my inner enormous person is just straining to bust out. I haven't been fat, but I have been pregnant twice. Just before #2 was born, I topped out at 200 lbs. Afterwards I worked my way down from 170 lbs. to...

Just a question--I took a look at your pictures. How tall are you? I'm 5'10", and I can just say that as little as five pounds can make the difference between me feeling like hot stuff --or-- feeling gigantic and kinda not feminine enough. It's nuts. ETA: you sure have a glamourous smile...

Wow Laura, I just want to thank you for admitting this. I feel exactly the same way, except I'm so much more of a novice than you are. I read a lot of your posts, and I admire you (awwww ;-) )--so knowing that you struggle with "keeping your head above water" makes me feel like less of a wimp...

No pot for me. I use regular old oats, the kind in the round carton that you get in the cereal aisle. NOT the instant, (or 1 minute), but the other kind--Quaker calls it "old-fashioned", however I buy generic. Anyway, these are rolled oats. 1/2 cup oats in a bowl with 1 cup water...

I wasn't patient enough with it. I passed it on after trying it two or three times. I wasn't feeling it either. I'm actually not very into the music for the entire Hardcore series. :( gisela

Ha! Calling me "Bite" was cute! My name's Gisela, but Biteset came into existence one day when I was trying to type my name on a caffiene high (jitters!) Gisela

Is my washing machine shrinking my jeans? I don't throw them in the dryer--anymore--I wash them in cold water and hang them up to dry. Still, I suspect they're getting tighter. Okay, so how do I know if they're getting smaller or I'm getting bigger? ("@#%$^&@") Gisela

So, what do you use? Likes? Dislikes? I think my face looks pretty shiny during the day, which bugs the heck out of me. Not sure if it's the moisturizer (olay). Anything light and non-greasy, with SPF, that you think doesn't contribute to face-shine? Something under $20 preferable...

It's the moistness that I'm after--tuna seems so dry to me.

I'm so much harder on myself than I am on other people, and harder on myself than other people are on me. I want to lose weight, but other people say they don't see why. MSJ wants to be thinner...but...I've met her and she looks delish. ;) I sometimes wish we could transfer our acceptance...

Oh, and please report on how the Ziploc omelets turn out! I'm very curious. gisela

This is from Shape magazine, but I can't find it at shape.com. Weird. Anyway, 1 cup uncooked quinoa 2 carrots, peeled & diced 1/2 cup frozen green peas, thawed 1/3 cup minced red onion (eww, I hate onions! but you might love 'em) 2 tbsp chopped fresh basil 1 1/2 tbsp red-wine vinegar...

Oh, I forgot to say--at Costco this salsa is in a refrigerated section--honestly I can't remember exactly what else is there, but I believe it was next to an olive tapenade, some hummus, perhaps pesto... gisela

Catherine--heck no! No high-fructose corn syrup. :-) Ingredients: Tomatoes, Mango, Filtered Water, Assorted Chiles & Peppers, Onions, Evaporated Cane Juice (OH THERE'S THE SUGAR!) Tomato Puree, Peaches, Cilantro, Red Wine Vinegar, Lemon Juice frmo Concentrate, Salt, Spices, Citric...
