I'd like to try it but honestly I'm afraid to as I need to lose, well, I guess really about 75 lbs. I have a lot of back pain, and I hear these stretches will help with that. But I'm afraid it will be SO hard and that I'll hurt myself. What do you think?

Well people, here's your chance
There's going to be a industry-wide conference in Kentucky in April to hash out the current state and future of VR/SR/ASR/SRT. I think the first order of business should be to decide on a name (or initials) and stick to it.
Anyway, MTs can click on the below link and then click on their link that starts with "MTIA and AHDI seek your feedback...." I haven't taken it yet so don't know whether it's just radio buttons to select canned answers or whether there's a place for written answers. If there is, I'd be almost tempted to write a response that looks like some of the VR output I've seen!
Have at it, MTs. Let your voices be heard.
Give the SH people a chance to fix it before you spend more money.
:P
Well you gave her a fair chance, asked her to stop. It's a shame she didn't take the chance. n

Pilates?
I hate to exercise and I have respiratory problems too. I needed something that was not strenuous and effective and tried Winsor Pilates and amazingly saw results right away. I now use a walking program by Leslie Sansone for cardio also. But with Winsor alone I lost quite a few inches and that was just with the beginner 20 minute workout DVD. I never even used the accellerated workout that came with the package! I am glad you recovered. I knew a couple with a black mold problem and they became very very ill with all kinds of health issues and even neurological problems. It's very scary. Take care.

I absolutely love pilates. It is very difficult. I have no idea about the different types but at the gym i go to there are several instructors so each class is different. all exercises concentrate on the core and for women what else is there. Strengthening abd., gluteals, back and legs. I hate the treadmill and needed to find a cardio workout and have just started a spin class. Now thats a workout. 475 calories burned in 45 minutes but of course i can't do 45 just up to 30 but what a workout. I would have to walk for 2+ hours on a treadmill to get that much of a workout. Anyhow there is not a lot of stress on your knees as all exercises are on the floor with a mat. Can be hard on your hips when lying on each side for those leg exercises. It is a wonderful workout. Been doing pilates now for 3 years and still love it!

Just bought an Areo Stamina Pilates Performer at a Play It Again Store, but it did not come with instructions. Has anyone used this type of equipiment and can you share your experience/exercies with me.
Thank you
Anyone do Winsor Pilates?
Ok people, I need some serious motivation here. Went to try on swim suits yesterday and thoroughly disgusted! With the combination of menopause (won't even get into that whole #&@ ball of wax) and MT'ing the last 5 years, my body has just gone to pot. I have a few DVDs that I try to do once in awhile like the Buns series, etc. and have an older Denise Austin Pilates tape, but I had read somewhere that the Winsor Pilates was more effective because of her technique or sequence or something. Do you think it's worth the investment? I'm just so discouraged, it just makes me want to go get a big bowl of ice cream or chocolate or something. I'm not really fat, just flabby, have lost my muscle tone or something. I had lost a lot of weight due to a series of very stressful events in the past, some of which are ongoing, but have gained it back and just seems to be flab now with no muscle. I just want to tone up and wondered if anyone liked the Winsor series and saw benefits with regular use. Thanks for any help and encouragement!!
RE: Anyone ever tried Zone Pilates? (nm)
I just started doing some of the pilates
in between workouts on Bowflex to get blood moving. Change your exercise routine instead of doing same things consistently as your body may become used to it and plateau sets in. Work your whole body. Also, give your self short breaks, a couple days between exercises. Your workouts become easier over time. Don't give up, most people quit before big changes happen. This has worked for me.
I do a 20 minute pilates work out every day and within
7 to 10 days I saw changes that I was absolutely thrilled with. Hope this helps. You will see results within a week or two. Good luck!!!! You can do it!
Question for any Pilates users
If I understand it right, there are different styles or versions of Pilates. Which one is the best? Does Pilates use a lot of "wild" music or is it more instruction based? Would Pilates be good for someone who is not able to walk much on the treadmill because of knee issues? I have heard that people have good results with this program. I'm looking to start a new diet here and looking for an alternative exercise program other than walking.  But - I don't like loud, wild music so many exercise dvd's are out for me.
Anyone here do Windsor Pilates? Are you getting results? Is it a good

if you live among trashy people, low income people, people w/o goals or direction,
content to just get by, you by default become a part of a group. "people" have decided to group trailer people as trash. that is because there are enough people in that group to earn the title and even if you aren't trash, you are categorized by others. did i think i was trash in lower class neighborhood surrounded by people who drank and fought all weekend? no but i knew i wasn't staying and did not try to pretend that all the fools in the neighborhood were just nice folks who ended up where they were because high horse snobs deemed their neighborhood low class. people for the most part live exactly where they belong because they don't want to educate themselves, they don't mind "trash" around them and they don't want to be bothered trying just a bit hard to extract themselves from that world. they justify everything to themselves i guess saying everyone who doesn't like their lifestyle is a snob and the comedians (Jeff Foxworthy/Chris Rock, etc) who make fun of them are just ill-informed.
As for me, I fought hard to get out and don't even want to look back. It amazes me people stay for generations.
I believe Pilates is good for shaping and strength, but you still need some cardio for good fat

You are probably right. If I were looking for a job, I would not take the chance with this one. nm

Is your dad by any chance (sm)
a less than happy camper when he wakes up in the morning? Maybe moving a little too fast in the morning? Maybe Snoopy is avoiding dad when dad's adrenaline is pumping, but doesn't see a problem when dad is kicked back and relaxed.
Then there's the off chance that...
The person who posted wasn't "Joan Berre," but was trying to potentially cause trouble for her. I would hate to think that anyone would do that, but it's possible.
I have a chance (m)
to go to work in-house for $17/hour. The problem is it's a 2 hour drive each way for me. I have a car that gets great gas mileage. Would you do it?
By any chance was it... (sm)
Proficient Transcription? There have been numerous complaints about this so-called company. They may be under a different name by now but the owner's name was Donna. She had people give her money to buy equipment they could buy themselves and then would give them next to nothing in terms of work and then not pay for what they did. Just curious if this was the same.
IMO...not a chance. No way, no how.
I beat VR with my own standards and templates, but it's still nowhere near that. On the most excellent of days with the perfect dictators and best templates I can get 550/hour. But again..that's a lot of template/expander help.
Not a chance....
Especially if termination was through no fault of your own, and was due to their own internal structuring.
Make their loss, your gain, and don't look back.
You can do better.
By chance is this MT Daily?
.
Give MQ a chance...
Isn't it just possible that after all is said and done, and after all the changes, MQ may very well be a much better company to work for? Perhaps closing all these millions of branches (and the wildly different management styles, i.e. Columbus versus Amherst) will result in a more streamlined, consistent company where there is consistency across the board? Trimming the fat can be a good thing, U know. Personally I think Amherst is on borrowed time - a soon-to-be relic of the bad old days when nothing was done the same way from branch to branch. After all the dust settles, MQ just MIGHT be an excellent place to work again - but at least we should hear them out and give them the chance to prove it. Just my 2.5 cents...
Any chance it is something along the line of... sm
glioependymal cyst, meningeal cyst,
Are you by any chance from Alaska?
Or do you mean just because it gets dark early because of the time change. I've heard of people in Alaska with the night being so long using that light for depression, but that's really the only time I've heard of it.
That is good. I would never take a chance sm
with my pets. Cats are felines. Dogs are canines. Two different species. What works on one "could" kill the other in some instances. Just check pet poison control centers. Maybe same chemicals in some instances, but different formulas entirely.
I had a chance to sign up.
My ex-employer was into it. There were some local people who did well with it and were in that upper group. Also, I had the opportunity to check out some of the tapes without buying. I still never found the money to get started. Now I am glad I didn't.
No. She had her chance and didn't win.
Now if she's unable to try out due to an injury, that's too bad. No one else would be given the luxury of not having to try out and still getting on the team. She already got to to go the Olympics, so give someone else a chance!
Do you by any chance use Benadryl or
anything containing diphenhydramine? I don't have RLS, but when I use the above to help me sleep I have it really bad. Just in case you do use it, I thought I'd let you know. Good luck!
I agree with you. You only get one chance
to make a first impression. If 5 people come in for the job all w/the same credentials, I would pick the one w/the neatest appearance. At K-Mart he's probably going to doing something where customers can see him. I insist on my son wearing clean, pressed slacks or jeans and a shirt w/a collar.
If given the chance would you go hourly or ... sm
stay production if the pay per hour was around $15 with no opportunity to make more per hour or as an employee with incentive and all you were making a minimum of 9.5 cents per line? Is it better to make a little less but know exactly what you are going to make each week or just go for the ability to make more and hope you are able to stay productive. Thanks.
I would jump at the chance....

Give the kid a chance....
she has to start somewhere. If you are as good as you say then you will be an excellent trainer for her and will be rewarded for teaching her the ropes. IMHO you sound kind of threatened by this and I have to wonder why. Be nice and help her along in becoming great transcriptionist.
Would you by chance work for
MD-IT
I speed them up every chance I get!
I have a chance to get an account but I need a VPN.
I googled and found some information and from what I understand it is very simple to setup and basically like setting up any connection to the internet. Is it really that easy?
I would have jumped at the chance.
20 minutes away? The last job where I actually was offered any training was 45 minutes away, but I went. Although meeting face to face is not necessary, I always enjoyed putting a face to a name/voice. I think, in this case, it was irresponsible of the MTs to blow this off. With my present job the MTSO came out and loaded the software on my computer and briefly showed me how to use it. I appreciated even that much. Most of the time ICs are expected to just be able to do it. I am an older MT with lots of experience, but I scramble for any technical experience/training I can get.
Are you talking VR by any chance?
If you are I have done the same group now for over 15 years, first straight and then VR. I do not see as to where there has been any change whatsoever in their speech, lack of, changing for the better and so on. I will say this, years ago in the 80s I worked at a hospital and did some outside work for a group of internists. One physician there was a horrible dictator; however 1 day he dictated in his office his own personal note to the bank regarding HIS money and it was unbelievably clear, no garbling, did not have to strain to hear him so they can do better, I know. Having said that, I have noticed no difference in their using a machine as to using the MTers- they basically just do not care (the majority, that is). What I hear on VR now is what I have heard for years and years, same ole.
No Admin here but think U should have chance

Our best chance at success would come from - sm
changes in how the US taxes all employers. Instead of rewarding them with a tax break for offshoring, there should be a HEFTY tax. They should pay for the 'privilege' of using cheap labor, not get rewarded for it. If something like could get passed in Congress, it would automatically include all MTSOs. Then things might change for the better for the average American worker.
Is this by any chance Pro-Type??sm
I think you should state the company name, this will save other MTs who are hired by these people a HUGE headache. If someone does that to me, I make sure and post about them and their company on every MT board I can find. Good luck.
Taking a chance
I saw an ad for a transcription job on Craigslist, and I responded. It turned out not to be medical transcription. If I can get the footpedal to work next time, it could be fun. I've never heard of the company, so if it turns out to be an honest company with plenty of work and reasonable pay, I'll post the name. It's neat because you can take the work they send or send it back. What a change from the usual, right? The rate is $18 per AUDIO hour, so we'll see what that translates to.
Does this have anything to do with TigerFish by chance?

Has anyone works for Cymed by any chance. What do you think of them.
