    Layoff Tips??

    Melissa, You've received a lot of good advice. In your position, I would talk to my manager and share my concerns. Depending on how it goes, try to incorporate Vee's suggestions -- show your willingness to take on new projects and explores ways in which to help the company. It could make...

    DONE!

    Congratulations to everyone who has finished the program, and to all of those to follow. It is a great accomplishment. I finished about a week ago, and had good results. I lost pounds and inches, and certainly see more definition. I did my first post-STS weight workout a couple days ago...

    Energy!

    I'm in the last week of Meso 3, and like the change of pace. I'm doing plyo legs, so still getting a little of the "fun" factor. Dela, I agree with your observations regarding strength gains.... it's really amazing to see the progress over the past 3+ month. I still haven't decided what to...

    Who shops at Sephora:):)

    One of my favorite stores, too. I do most of my shopping online, and the site is (too) convenient to use. I set up my "favorites" and then re-order as needed. Chrissy, funny that you mentioned the Clarisonic brush. I just ordered it today. I couldn't resist the "15% off everything" promo...

    Red face after cardio - anybody?

    My entire face turns red after an intense cardio session...except for a pale area on my upper lip (not a great look!). It sometimes takes quite awhile to get back to normal. Ice cubes help a little.

    Tues 4/21 STS fit chicks

    Good morning, Today was Disc 34 Chest and Back. I can't believe this is the last week of Meso 3. I am very good at avoiding ab work, and need to focus on it a bit more. Rainy (and cold) here, too. The good news is that it should be in the 70's in time for the weekend. Have a good one...

    Feedback on 2-in-1 Medicine Ball and Kettlebell ?

    I am interested in receiving feedback from anyone who has ordered Cathe's 2-in-1 Power Medicine Ball and Kettlebell. I want to get a couple medicine balls, and thought this combo product would be good (so that I could try out kettlebells at some point). Also, which sizes are used the most...

    Ahhhhh - life returns!

    It's a beautiful, sunny day in Chicago. It was great to be playing tennis in shorts this morning. I'm from northeast Ohio and remember how special the first warm sunny days were after a long, snowy, gray winter. Enjoy the weekend, everyone. Michelle

    STS-Fit Chicks 4/17

    Good evening everyone, No STS today. I was home today and took advantage of the free time. I went shopping for new running shoes and tried them out this afternoon (very comfy!). What a beautiful day. I am very impressed with the heavy weights that all of you use for squats. Melissa...

    STS fit chicks 04/16

    Hi everyone! I've been missing the check-in for a few weeks (vacation, work, etc.), but I've stayed on track with STS. Nan, it sounds like you have been having great success with STS. The plyo legs are hard but fun, right? Good for you on handling the 12 inches; there are a few exercises...

    Plyo Legs!!

    Consider this another vote for plyo legs! I completed week 2 of Meso 3, and this week's leg workout was one of the toughest workouts I've done. I couldn't believe how soaked I was by the end. Great workout! Michelle

    I Completed Meso Two-My Observations and Questions

    Regina, Congratulations on completing Meso 2! It sounds like you are really enjoying it, and are certainly seeing great results. I am starting the last week of Meso 2 tomorrow. I agree with you on the leg tri-sets -- very challenging. I had serious DOMS after weeks 1 & 2 of the leg...
