2 years ago I had a wonderful and beautiful baby (baby #2).
I also had some extra weight that just had to go!
At 162 lbs I was about 24 lbs heavier than I was before I had gotten pregnant. I was 38 lbs heavier than I was when I graduated high school. None of my clothes [...]
My success story involves not just myself, but three lovely ladies that have entered my life. Battling with secondary infertility for seven years, I found myself having my third child at age 35. With each of my pregnancies, I gained 50-60 lbs. By daughter #3, this weight was extremely hard to lose, and the thought [...]
the beginning
I was almost 7 years old when my family moved from Minnesota to California. Before the move, I remember being a popular, confident, leader-type kid, with a healthy, normal body weight. At my new school, I did not have a warm welcome from the kids. I was different. I was scared. I was made [...]
The past 2 years have been perhaps the toughest years of my life.
After having a beautiful little girl in 2005, we decided to try again in 2007. Unfortunately, shortly after becoming pregnant I lost the baby in December of 2007. Doctors told me that it was just “bad luck”. Then after a few months we [...]
Towards the end of my pregnancy with my second son in 2008 I weighed 220 pounds. As my due date was approaching, I realized that having gained 50 pounds I was going to have to do something to get the weight off this time around. I thought of Cathe.
I had seen Cathe years ago on [...]
We take our balance for granted. When we think of disabilities, we think of spinal cord injuries and fractures, but likely take it for granted that our relatively small feet will keep our bodies upright.
Eight years ago, I was diagnosed with an extremely large brain tumor. I’m forever thankful it was benign. I had two [...]
I am 36 years old and haven´t properly worked out since P.E at school (i.e 20 years ago!) I have never been slim and take after my mother who is overweight.
The older I got the more kilos I would gain and I´d just buy a size bigger and say ´hey, this is how I am´ [...]
I grew up the daughter of a serial dieter. I thought that’s what women did, so I started dieting when I was a teen. Countless diets yielded no permanent successes in losing the elusive 10 or 20 pounds, because I never figured out that I had to commit to a different lifestyle. So off and [...]
Well, my journey continues as I have now officially entered menopause (August 13th). I have been a dedicated Cathe fan since 1999. I love, love, LOVE all of her cardio workouts. I struggle, struggle, STRUGGLE with the weight workouts. But, hey, I have lots of equipment and at least I am trying?
Anyway, as I enter [...]
I reached a breaking point with my weight in January 2008. With another new year upon me, I decided I needed to step on the dreaded scale. I knew my weight had gotten out of control, but I was alarmed to see the numbers 283 flashing up at me. I’d had enough. I got online [...]
