RE: I finally took a Yeah Angie--I had the WHAM!!! moment too. (I looked at the pics) Didn't know how wide and thick I'd become. Oh boy. Also, in the pictures I didn't attempt to suck in my gut, I just let it relax. Scary stuff. But yes, the truth is certainly refreshing. It's like...

I second what someone said about not cutting back on your sleep! GO TO BED EARLIER! I've learned this the hard way. The initial phase of becoming a morning exerciser is simply operating on faith that your body will adjust. It will, it will, it will. At first you might get up and wonder...

I was poking around in "Success Stories" and finally got the last kick of inspiration I needed, to begin taking pictures of myself so I can see progress. (Thanks win1jam and one_buff_mom!) I'll use this quote from one-buff-mom's success story to describe my condition: "Last year, my life...

My thighs also differ in size by about a quarter to a half inch. But I can't remember which is which. And I can't tell by looking at them... gisela

For those times when I simply must have a bowl of little crunchy things to eat mindlessly, here's something that's not bad, no, not bad at all! I use my Salad Shooter and slice up a couple carrots and a few radishes. They come out all thin and round and crispy, and I can eat them mindlessly...

Last night I walked away from the kids' bedroom for a minute, only to return and find my 4 yo daughter teaching my 2 yo son to climb up on top of the chest of drawers and jump off onto the bed. Yeah, I'm trying to keep them ALIVE here...! x( Gisela

How is it that my little children are at their loudest and craziest at the end of the day (their bedtime) when I am at my weariest and most impatient? ??? x( ;( ;) ;) x( ;( Gisela

RE: <---(if you get too cold,cold).... I'll tax the hea... sorry i'm breaking protocol here--it's just that I've read the "I'll tax the heat" subject line for a few days and then today FINALLY realized it's a Beatles song! :) Gisela

I only tried Ortho Tricyclen a few years ago in my early 20's, and if I remember correctly I put on maybe 3-5 pounds--just not in my BOOBS where I WANTED that extra weight! x( Gisela

Is this normal? I'm not a beginner exerciser, but I have been (unintentionally) a start 'n' stopper. At the end of March I started working out again after months of nothing. I did about a week's worth of workouts, then family visited and I stopped again for 1 1/2 weeks, and then this...

Congratulations! I hope you'll have a lovely wedding! :D gisela

I want to try one of Cathe's rotations (August 2004) and have three questions: 1.) Don't have Cardio Kicks--do you think KPC would suffice? I also don't own Kick Max. Or maybe CTX Kickbox twice? 2.) Don't own Body Fusion. What the heck would be a good sub for Body Fusion? I don't...

I want to try HSTA. I don't own the High Step, but I do own a regular Club size step, and a Super Step. I just previewed the workout, and it looks like I could get away with doing the cardio portions on the end of my regular step, and use my Super Step for the leg presses. Does anyone do...

I use shelf liner under the step. I cut a piece long enough to extend underneath, but small enough not to stick out from under. Here's an example of the stuff I mean...
