Like I said, I'm gonna give her the benefit of the doubt and write it off as a bad first impression. I'm going to try to make it to her gym opening in Ohio if that takes place. I really didn't want to say anything negative about anyone, but there was just something about her attitude and comments that didn't sit right with me. But, I know how busy she's been and it can't be easy keeping up with the hectic schedule she's on and all the tapings she has to do. Hopefully, I'll get a chance to meet her again and my impression will be changed!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 18, 1999 Report Share Posted November 18, 1999 -Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us. I've enjoyed everyone of your posts! I always thought Marcy's name was Marge. It's great to know her real name. ;-D She is my inspiration. I'm in total awe of this women and I too hope to be in as good as shape as she is when I'm 76. Was Debbie at any of the tapings? She wasn't in the #4 series. TQ's demeanor surprises me too. But, deep inside I knew it was her job. Barb-Vivian is so right. I too look forward to reading your posts. They always bring a smile to my face, but then you already knew it. I agree about the long, long posts on TQ's forum. I too have missed more posts than what I've read. I like them short and sweet. Vivian-I wanted to wish you a happy b'day, too. Debbie, who agrees with Sandy's comment about this nasty poster's breakfast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in total awe of this women and I >too hope to be in as good as shape as she is when I'm 76. Yeah, she really is an inspiration isn't she and she's really nice. I think she works out at 's gym all the time because everyone knew who she was. She's got incredible energy, but she's not afraid to walk it out when she needs to. But I guess by the third class in a row, who can blame you for walking it out. I know that just doing two in a row kicked my butt....I don't know how she does it, but she's definitely a strong woman! > Was Debbie at any of the tapings? She wasn't in the #4 series. Yes, Debbie was there. She looked great...even better than on the tapes, if that's possible. told me that she also has two kids...WOW... I hope I can get my body to look like that someday and I've only got one child..ha ha. Actually, alot of the regulars looked even more defined and toned than on the tapes, but I guess a little of that is the camera adding a few pounds and the other part is just the passing of time and them getting stronger from taebo!

Guest guest Posted November 18, 1999 Report Share Posted November 18, 1999 and taeboqueen's> reply was "Yeah, it's part of my job description" in a less than> enthusiastic tone. That kind of left me with a bad taste in my mouth, Sorry to say this guys, but I had a feeling that she was paid to do that stuff... This confirms my impression.... I am glad to know all you guys, because I really feel like everyone is honest here, and not putting on an act, and no one is getting paid to do this stuff. Anyways, this is how I feel... BTW , I've really been enjoying reading your posts about the tapings, it's like I was actually there!!! Thanx for sharing your experience with us!!!

Guest guest Posted November 18, 1999 Report Share Posted November 18, 1999 so one of the folks emailed me that I was undermining her post & shouldn'tjump in unless I read everything more thoroughlyouchsome folks can be very touchy onlineI can completely understand why you would feel weird after such a comment... geez... some people are so picky... Besides, do you know anyone who really has time to read thru all the messages on that board??? It takes hours everyday to get thru the tons of blabbing... Although this egroup takes time to read everyday, at least, everyone gets to the point!! Sorry for my appearance of aggressiveness towards the taebo message board, but I don't have time to waste anymore, especially waiting for the pages to download!

Guest guest Posted November 18, 1999 Report Share Posted November 18, 1999 who also has the glasses restriction but used to wear contacts and could trydisposible ones but if the sweat ran into my eyes would then panicThe trick to not having sweat run in your eyes is to wear either a headband, or a bandana around your head or just plain on top of your head with braids coming out each side (besides a bandana looks kinda cute and is hip!)

I can sort of understand why she felt the way she did cuz she didn't realize it wasn't just her post I was responding to and that there was at least one other poster who motivated my post. She took it less personally once she realized that. So maybe it was just a tad soured milk in her cereal that morning & she was entitled to that reaction.
