    DH of ATL

    Actually, Mercedes owns Maybach, so Sheree is okay on that point :)

    Does anyone else love the smell of paper?

    I used to work in Sales for a printing company. The best thing was that we got samples of all the books that were printed (for quality control, etc) and would keep them until the book was on the shelves in stores. I was surrounded by brand new books every day. Then, when there would be...

    Mysterious Allergic Reaction

    About six years ago, I had my first hives attack and went to the ER. I made an appt with a specialist who told me it might be virtually impossible to find out what combination of things triggered my attack. He said that if it happened again and I wanted to, I could try a battery of tests to...

    Lurker Invitations Check-In, January

    I'm back! Sorry about disappearing for a few days, but there was a family "crisis". Long story short, my younger sister has been lying about something that no one wanted to call her on because of her explosive temper. I finally had enough and let her know that we knew. She's now no longer...

    Lurker Invitations Check-In, January

    Hi Everyone! I see we've had over 200 views, but only 14 posts. If there are any "lurkers" out there who are still not sure about whether or not to join in, there isn't a better time to get more active on the boards! I've had a far busier day than anticipated - meaning I've been on the go...

    Lurker Invitations Check-In, January

    Janie, thank you for trying to give us lurkers a "safe" way to get more involved! I read the forums every day and post maybe once or twice a year. After having moved to Germany (non-military) a few years ago, I haven't been keeping up with my exercise and have put on weight. DH and I are...

    Has anyone tried the BodyBugg

    I've had one for almost three years now and wear it when I need to lose some weight or am curious about how many calories activity / workout "X" burns. I found out that Leslie Sansone CAN be effective for days I'm not up to much else, for example. I had a version 1 which wasn't compatible...

    Anyone living in Europe?

    Even if you're in France, if your order is over €75, the shipping is free at Sport-tiedje and nominal otherwise. I didn't bring a barbell or enough handweights, either, ordered them and had them shipped (poor delivery guy!). One good thing about my handweights in kg -- I can get them in 1kg...

    Anyone living in Europe?

    Hi Angie, I'm in Germany, but double-checked for you and one of my favorite sites will deliver to France. You can at least peruse their site and see what they have to offer. It's also translated to English (for the most part): http://www.sport-tiedje.com/index.htm As for the high step, I...

    Fitness Health mag that sends overseas

    I'm not sure about Japan. . . I'm in Germany and have/have had subscriptions to Fitness, Shape and Self. Basically, the subscription price is the same and you pay more for postage. I checked on self.com and a 1 yr subscription to Japan is $35. It does take longer for shipping but, since...

    Actitrainer, bodybugg or ????

    Yes, I meant the watch. I had the bodybugg for so long without it, that once I got the watch I was REALLY happy with it! It used to be a pain to have to log-in to see where I was at. Now I only log-in once a day or so and use the display throughout the day. I rarely wear it as a watch, which...

    Actitrainer, bodybugg or ????

    I've had a bodybugg for almost three years now and still love it -- even more since I recently upgraded to the "new" model (it's been out a year, I think) that has a digital display. If I'm seriously trying to lose weight, I wear it every day all day. I've also only worn it for the time that...

    Adding "Other" DVD

    Hi, When trying to add a non-Cathe DVD to my calendar, I read in the "Help" section that there is supposed to be an option of "Other". However, it would appear that the DVD's listed thus far are only Cathe's. If "Other" is there, I couldn't find it. Thanks! Ramona (Expatter)

    Sure Fit Slip Covers - have you used them?

    I've gotten several and they work pretty well. I do have to tuck them in on the sides & the back every day, but we have a 100# dog that spends a lot of time on the couch (which is why I needed covers in the first place). I know that there are attachments that you can buy to help the cover...

    Wii Fit Activities Breakdown

    Actually, I'm in Germany and it released here on 4/25. It's just about the first time I haven't been jealously, um, I mean anxiously, waiting for something that my siblings had/saw months before me! Ramona

    Wii Fit Activities Breakdown

    When you first install the Balance Board, each section has a few "unlocked" games. As you spend more time using the board, or as your proficiency increases in a certain activity, either different levels of that activity or different games are then unlocked. I've maybe put in about five or so...

    Wii Fit Activities Breakdown

    Being an avid pre-purchase researcher, I thought that some of you might like to have a breakdown of the activities. I've unlocked all but one. I've included BRIEF descriptions of any that wouldn't make sense otherwise. If you want to be surprised when you get it DON'T READ ANY FURTHER! :)...

    Wii Fit for Women....

    Okay, instead of listening to the two of us go back and forth, if you go to Amazon.co.uk, you can read the reviews posted thus far (34 when I looked). There are a few that are really comprehensive. As a stand-alone exercise program, it won't get you far. For fun, as an incentive to begin a...

    Wii Fit for Women....

    During the games, all of the Mii's are the same size. It's only during any of the individual "interactive" parts that your Mii, dressed in a jogging suit, is "lifesize". If you only do the games, skipping over the daily weigh-in, you'd only have to see your Mii during the very start-up and...

    Wii Fit for Women....

    There are two ways to begin without being weighed: 1st to sign on as a guest or, 2nd to sign on as yourself and, when given the options of "Body Test" or "Training", choose Training. That takes you right to the games. If you don't do the body test, however, you won't get the "stamp" for the...
