i'm glad to hear it went so well! yes - they look like frankenboobs at first. but every day you will see a change. in fact, they keep changing for about a year. just getting softer and settling in. wait until one day you are walking down the steps and you notice the first "jiggle". :-)...

RE: Are Timesavers also, it depends on what kind of workout you are using them for. i'm doing BFL. so i used the Timesaver #5 for my lower body workout - and trust me - i believe it was plenty! but it wouldn't work for the upper body because Timesavers break up the upper body by muscle...

even now, whenever i do a Cathe workout for the first time, i go with half the poundage. i want to make sure i get through the whole workout, and that i keep proper form. it also gives me a good idea of where i can increase the poundage for the next time through.

just to let you all know - i just read that the FDA now approves silicone. darn i wish it was approved when i had my surgery!!! i'm very happy with my saline ones - but i still feel the silicone felt more natural. as for replacing them in five years - that is just one of the things we...

I'm so excited for you!!! Just don't push yourself. Your body is going through a LOT. Your muscles need to heal, and your incisions need to heel. (Are you getting a crease incision? That's what I had.) I started upper body work about six weeks after surgery. But I did not do chest work at...

the only dogs i can think of that don't really shed are poodles. but i don't know if they have the other qualities on your list. i know they bond very well with the owner, but they aren't really the type to be openly friendly with other dogs and with strangers (there are always exceptions to...

I've opened mine already! My dogs chipped in and bought me a Timex Ironman with two interval timers so when we go out to do a run/walk, I don't have to yank their leashes and look at my watch! They also got me the Bar Method DVD's. And they found an incredible fitness shoe sale so I now have...

Hi Sara, I actually used to be here as Wolfie (I'd forgotten all about that!) and I was one of the ones Cathe responded to in the archived messages. My surgery was in February of this past year (I'm SO happy with the whole experience) and started doing lower body work about three weeks...

Thanks ladies, that's exactly what I'm doing. I'm rolling the ball in and I end up bending my knees. This is definitely going to take some practice. I will conquer the inverted shoulder press on the stability ball yet!!!

I'm having the WORST time trying to do pikes. I'm in plank position on the stability ball, but my body just will not cooperate. I have no problem bringing my knees in, but getting that rear end up in the air just isn't happening. How did you get pikes under control?

i'm in DC and we got some snow early in the morning, but now it's just ugly rain and slush. however, we're supposed to get snow tonight and throughout tomorrow. (i'm hoping!) it's so strange around here because i barely got a dusting, yet 20 minutes from my house they got several inches.

yipppeeeee! i'm supposed to get mine tomorrow!

i just wanted to say that i LOVE my Troy Lite system. i have an olympic weight set (the bar itself is 7 feet long and 46 lbs) and i just could not see myself lugging that thing into my living room - nor could i do most of the exercises. so i used dumbbells for cathe's workouts. then a...

still suffering dvd envy. i just checked and i didn't order until the end of may. :-( it seems that they are moving pretty fast though. maybe next week???

thanks bobbi! i've got this great software for my PDA and i'm trying to be very diligent about taking notes on everything. calories taken in, calories burned, etc...

it's one of my favorites - i just did it this morning! what a great way to get a full body workout in a short period of time.

sigh. i have dvd envy. i can't remember how soon i pre-ordered...so i'll just keep checking my email and checking the ups tracker...

maybe i'm missing it, is there a listing of the estimated calories burned per video/dvd? i know it's impossible to give an exact number because there are too many factors for each individual, but just a general "Power Hour burns 250 - 350 calories" or something like that.

i've read that too. but i've also read that we all operate on different internal clocks. some of us have more energy in the afternoon or the evening than in the morning. and that the key to keeping a regular fitness schedule, is to find the time that is best for you. i used to do cardio on...

so now instead of checking this forum every day for updates, i'll be checking my ups tracking page. :-)
