Yes, Kathryn! I always have a problem remembering names.
Have you heard from her? We used to trade a lot, it was great fun.

I was just thinking of Kathryn this morning. She disappeared a few years ago, I think. I remember some posts from her on a vitamix thread either here or on Cathe's site, but that's the last I remember seeing her post.

Was there a Cleda? Really in to spinning? I've never been a frequent poster, but I remember all the names being mentioned in this thread. Hope all are well and just got busy with life...

Cleda is still here and posts on the "everyday" check in.

I'm friends with Deanna on Facebook, but I haven't seen her post here in a long time.

Hi, Maryan!
I'm still here! Dh & I retired to the mountains of TN ten years ago. Seems the majority of my workouts turned into functional fitness, building our home & living the country life.
I've been participating in the "Everyday in..." check-in for years. Yes, Cleda is there too.
Currently I'm side tracted recovering from breast cancer surgery two weeks ago, but hope to get back on track soon.

I joined sometime in 1997, I think. I remember because I had just gotten my first "real" job and couldn't afford to keep my gym membership and pay off law school debt (and my job had me working long hours). I learned so much from the forum.

I didn't post often, but I do still scan the threads. I mean VFers still give the best reviews on workout DVDs and know all the news. I am really happy to see so many familiar names in this thread. And I do miss some of the folks listed. I also miss the Minnesota get togethers. Joni, have you kept in touch with Suzanne or Janet or anyone else? Stac

Joni directed me to this thread! I don't think I have attempted to login to VF in...well...years! Thank you for remembering me!! Very sweet of you!! As to my life? Lots of twists and turns. The last year or so of VF (2006-2007) I was going through an ugly divorce, had all but given up my vidiot workouts, and was only walking (or hiking!) with my dog. It felt silly to continue with the CCTB check-in ("I walked the dog, AGAIN"). I finally found my way back to my videos a little over 2 years ago. I hesitate to return to VF because I have not acquired any new videos since 2007 (gasp, the horror!) or so and I know I would feel lost in the discussion.

Deanna! So good to hear from you! I really did to seem to like a lot of the workouts you raved about, so there are definitely a few in my collection that I tried for that reason.

You should check out the vintage / dustbunny thread.

With the exception of a few recent Cathe's, almost all the workouts I own are pre-2010, so don't worry about feeling out of place.

Thanks, Paula! I just pulled out IMAX (the original) the other day. And...thoroughly enjoyed it

I'll try to find the vintage thread! Thanks.
