Do you have any > more advice? , that's great that the basic is much easier for you now. It shows you how far you've come. You can always combine the floor work (starting at about minute 35 or 45) from the advanced tape with the basic tape or add the 8-minute tape to the basic tape to extend the workout and build your endurance. You can also combine the basic with daily walking to increase your stamina or weight lifting 3 times a week to increase your metabolism and strength. It is hard to jump right into the advanced tape. I did it yesterday and find that it is still a challenging tape even after 1 year of taebo. Remember that taebo is about changing your life style. There are no quick fixes. If you are faithful to taebo, you will be rewarded with new results the rest of your life (some will be pounds, inches, or clothes' sizes lost; others will be less tangible, e.g., increased stamina, strength, coordination, balance, stress release, pain release, ... .).

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2000 Report Share Posted April 20, 2000 Was out with my friends last night and they said I was the only person they knew who could get up at 6 to clean the house, work all day, run around with 4 kids and still have the energy to stay up till midnight to wash a couple loads of clothes. It is all energy from Taebo! Here is my problem---can't find many places to buy clothes from because I now wear a size 1 and there aren't too many places that carry a 1. However, I have never had so much fun shopping for bikinis. The smaller the better. Hey, the thong doesn't look too bad either! ----who has had a great week spending money since it has rained during her whole spring break from school Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is completely normal to look at yourself and not see any change. We have distorted views of our bodies and it takes awhile for us to notice the change. I had this exact thing happen to me the other day when I was shopping. I was able to fit into size 7/8 shorts and I was standing there in disbelief because when I looked in the mirror, I still saw the same big old legs staring back at me. I guess it just takes some time and of course, we are much harder on ourselves than we are on others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2000 Report Share Posted April 20, 2000 Like I said before, I honestly think Taebo has given me all that energy. It has not only changed my body tremendously, but has made me start eating healthy and given me a great attitude---like I can do anything---Supermom; Superwife; Superteacher! That is an exaggeration, but I can honestly say that I now get twice as much done in a day than before I started doing Taebo. I never want to sit anymore. I want to move. It is actually hard sitting here at the computer for any length of time. I just have completely changed the way I live. ---whose screen name is Fitatforty!

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2000 Report Share Posted April 21, 2000 , thanks for the the encouragement. I stepped on the scale to the most amazing thing this morning. I lost five lbs.

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2001 Report Share Posted July 25, 2001 Manda, Hon, you CAN avoid those sweets by bringing your OWN yummies...an ice cold watermelon beats that chocolate all to heck! AND I should know....the other day one of my support friend's from my local group came over for the first time...she got the tour of the house, including the vending room. You should have seen her face! LOL! She is the MOST disciplined person I know, but she BACKED out of there saying " No more, show me no more.... " and mumbled " HOW do you do it? " several times. Well, how I do it is by remembering how little satisfaction those things offered in the long run, and by remembering the hard work time I put into this newer, healthier body. Now about period time, I allow myself a terrible treat...I have to admit I indulge in half a bag of Cheetos once a month. BUT when someone is eating stuff around me that is not good for me, my first line of attack is to have something better for me on hand and enjoy that. I LOVE fresh strawberries, AND if you are really wanting a sweet treat, a little FF chocolate syrup over them will make ANYONE'S mouth water and is quite the diversion....but for me, that water melon, or yogurt covered raisins, are all the sweet I'll ever need. FROZEN GREEN GRAPES, seedless, are also like candy! So come armed for bear and just smile and say, No thanks, I've got my _____..would you like some? And be safe driving. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. HUGS AND WE'LL MISS YOU! in Ark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 26, 2001 Report Share Posted July 26, 2001 , I thought I was the only one who liked frozen green grapes. My kids think I'm nuts, but when I eat my meals since we can't drink after I include a few grapes and I feel as if I've quenched my thirst.

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2002 Report Share Posted February 11, 2002 I would consider a question about my eating habits from some stranger while on vacation very rude.

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2002 Report Share Posted February 11, 2002 If people ask about your eating, you can say " I have some trouble swallowing, " and if they get too personal or start recommending things (like you haven't heard it all before!) you can cut them off with " i know you're trying to help, but i went on vacation to get away from my problems, not dwell on them! " or even a simple " i appreciate your concern, but i'd rather not talk about this " . Also, on cruises you are often seated in the same place every night for dinner, so at least there you'll only have to explain once! have a great time on your trip! katy On Sun, 10 Feb 2002 23:18:53 -0000 " lizzie2542 " <lsloan2542@...> writes: > I am interested in knowing how others have handled vacations.

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2002 Report Share Posted February 11, 2002 I agree Magg. I have just found that waiters in particular get very concerned that you don't like the food and want to give you someting else. I have even got my meal free on occassion despite protests that it is wonderful, I just can't eat much of it.

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2002 Report Share Posted February 12, 2002 Dear Liz, I think most of us have dreaded these questions and wondered what would be a good response, not only on vacations, but during the holidays, weddings, any public eating occasion. There are a couple of different ways to reply: 1. A humorous reply (not sarcastic) often lightens the situation. I am not famous for my humorous replies, so I leave this topic right away. 2. Asking a question shows that you listened and are taking the person seriously. You could ask “How long did the positive effect from the stretching last? Which doctor did they see? How long did the effect from the medications last? Any side effects? Do you know a good GI doctor or surgeon?” You show genuine interest, than you can add your own perspective. Like info you got from your doctor and this group. Why you have not decided on a treatment yet, that you are doing more research on those options, looking for a second opinion. By then most likely everyone is ready to switch the topic. Here some general thoughts: We tend to equate diseases, illnesses with “not-normal”. Than we are expected to go to the doctor and have it “fixed”. But what works for me may not be right for you. We must find our own ways to wellness and health. And we are entitled to finding our own path and to live our own life. And even with an illness or disorder, we are entitled to live life to the fullest and just the way we like it. I hope you have a wonderful vacation.
