    Hi, Y'All! Joan, I am so sorry to hear about your son. I have depression myself, and I know how it can make you feel. I am very lucky that I do not have to take medication for it, mine is not so bad. But there are those mornings when I wake up thinking that it's just one day closer to the...

    Good morning, Y'All! I just finished Disc 3, or did it finish me? :eek: Anyway, I'm sure my legs will be screaming tomorrow. I have gotten so weak that I have to modify several of the exercises and use no weights on some of them. But I really think that even if I do modify, I can get...

    Hi, Y'All! It was a beautiful day, not too hot, so I walked 2.5 miles (actually slightly more than that, but I was certain of the 2.5, so I left it at that). Really wanted to do 3, but I will next time. Then I came inside and did Stability Ball Abs from the Basic Step dvd and finished with...

    Good Afternoon, Y'All! Jann, congratulations on becoming a member of the Grandparents Club. I think it is the happiest club on earth! I just finished Disc 2. I waited until afternoon because I knew I would be really tired when I finished. Right now I am icing my back and my shoulder...

    Good morning, Y'All! Jann, I am entering my STS workouts into the Workout Manager, too. Is there a setting in my profile that allows it to show up somewhere? I have tummy trouble today :(, so I think I may take a rest day today and do Disc 2 tomorrow. Have a great day, everyone...

    Good morning, Y'All! I did Disc 1 yesterday. I have gotten so weak, I could not finish push ups! Well, this is the kind of thing that just makes me more determined to keep it up! My shoulders and chest are screaming this morning, but some aspirin should help. Have a great day, everyone...

    Good evening, Y'All! My boys are on their way back home. I started missing them about the time we left them at the airport. :( I thought I would retest for 1rm, but my numbers were coming up pretty close to the ones I already had. I decided I would just go with what I have and adjust as...

    Good morning, Y'all! We took the boys to Sagamore Hill (home of Teddy Roosevelt--it's near here) yesterday and got in a really good walk touring the grounds. I think my grandson really loved it. I'm hoping I can get him interested in US History. From his reaction, I don't think it will be...

    Good morning, Y'All! My boys are still here, so no video workouts this week. Got in a lot of walking over the weekend, though, and maybe some more today, plus some light housework. Did any of you who are starting STS do any re-tests for your one-rep maxes, or are you going with the...

    Good morning, Y'All! Welcome back, Joan. I am very sorry about your mil. I was thinking about starting STS with Meso 1, but I remember how much I hated all those push-ups! I cannot start until a week from Monday, but would only be a week behind you. I need to be doing something...

    Hi, Y'All! So DS is having a wonderful vacation. :confused: I took him back to our chiropractor today, who told us that DS's violent reaction to the food poisoning re-injured his back and undid all that the chiropractor had been able to do for him. :eek: My poor son. I told him he should...

    Good morning, Y'All! Yes, I am enjoying my boys. We have had a couple of adventures, too. DS was having back troubles when they got here, so we took him to our chiropractor. Then, Monday night, we decided to go to a little seafood restaurant DS likes. He had raw clams, and, you guessed...

    Hi, Y'All! Those are great pictures, Jann. Your lawn looks wonderful! Wish I had a green thumb, but DH is the one in this family! I bought a Kathy Smith dvd that has four different 15-minute workouts on it, thinking I could "get by" for the next two weeks by doing them before the boys...

    Hi, Y'All! Getting ready for my boys to arrive tomorrow. I was not well today--tummy issues--so no workout. :( Will try to squeeze something in tomorrow morning. It has been awful these past two days here. Into the high 80s and low 90s. (Which is actually about average where I come...

    Hi, Y'All! I would love to start STS now, but with my kids coming for a visit, I am just grabbing what pleases me. Today, Classic Firm Volume 6 pleased me, so I just did that one. Even though I knew it was going to get hot today, I left the air conditioning off during the workout (well...

    Hi, Y'All! And welcome, Andy! I find this forum inspires accountability. I really do work out more regularly because of the inspiration these ladies give me. It's really good to have people you can talk to who are in basically the same situation. Beth, I would certainly love to join you...

    Good morning, Y'All! Joan, your doctor is probably just trying to be very thorough. It means he or she is a very good doctor. I think you can take a lot of comfort in that. I just finished Basic Step and Stability Ball Abs. I have to work as hard as I can while I have the...

    Good morning, Y'All! Joan, you need to let yourself heal--head and body! Probably good for you to be in the sun a little, though. I hope everyone had a great weekend. Mine was quiet. Trying to switch over to summer wardrobe & clean some closets. I did FitPrime Metaboost this...

    Good Morning, Y'all! Good to hear from you, Cathy. I am also going to pre-order the upcoming Low Impact series. My birthday is coming up soon, so I am making them my birthday present. Hi, Joan & Jann. Beth, I decided to try that diet so I ordered the book. It's just hard for me to...
