Hey Kassia, It's Cheri from the Mom's Checkin on VF. We've missed you this week.:-( Anyway, I just love the picture of Viola~she's just beautiful. Thanks for sharing your story. Hugs, Cheri

Cathe and SNM (Nancy), Thanks so much for all the hard work you're doing. I've moved recently and just realized I never updated you with my new address. I emailed Nancy last night about it and by early this morning she had contacted UPS and had my new workouts re-routed to my correct...

>Yes, I'm a pre-GT Firmie, too. This used to be one of my >favorite firms because it was higher on cardio than many of >their others. However, I rarely do it now that I've falled in >love with Cathe. > >Actually, I hardly do any of my Firms anymore. I put one in >the other night, did the...

Hi Kim! I'm intrigued by Cathe's answer as well. I've had four pregnancies and have three children (one miscarriage). My stomach is fairly flat (maybe a bit on the lower area) but still have love handles. I'm 5'2" and weight between 115-120 all the time and wear a size 4. I've always had...

Hello. I too have most of Cathe's workouts but like variety so I use Turbo Jams, Firms, WHFNs... I was skeptical about the Transfirmer series but really like it. The Transfirmer is great and, as stated earlier, you can always find a way to make a workout harder. Even with the WHFNs I add...

Janice, Another thought. I took my paxil in the p.m. instead of the a.m. and that way I slept off a lot of my sleepy side affects. It absolutely doesn't work for some people but did for me and might be worth a try. Blessings, Cheri

Hi Janice! I have GAD and am on Paxil. It now has a generic so is less expensive as well. I've been told it can have sexual side effects as well as it is an SSRI but I haven't noticed any. When I took Zoloft I thought I'd loose my mind. These medications are hard to get dosing right with...

I preordered as well. I'm always a bit perplexed about DVDs not being hard enough. I can usually make any workout what I need it to be. Besides, I love Basic Step/Body Fusion and use it almost monthly for TTOM, coming back from illness, etc. Cheri

Hi Jen! I started with Cathe after 1 1/2 years with the Firm as well. I had to do the same thing with my weights and I actually gained strength and definition! You won't loose anything and you'll love the challenge. Welcome aboard!! Cheri

I also used natural family planning and it worked beautifly-and got me in touch with my cycles so I could get pregnant. I know people with irregular cycles who've had success with this too, but my cycles are very regular and this did help. Cheri

Ooh, great ideas. And yes, earlyexerciser, Kashi Go Lean is great stuff! I'll have to try the pancakes as well-I bet my kids would eat them. I give them sweets so infrequently that they think prunes and raisins are a sweet treat, lol! Thanks again guys!! Cheri

Another Disney vacation person. My parents were willing to let DH and I use their time share and this was the only place warm we could find in November. We got married 6 months after our engagement and I promise every time share in every island was booked. We did have fun at Disney World...

All I eat lately is Kashi Go Lean Crunch cereal or some other high protein cereal with skim milk. I'm not a morning person so don't like to spend a lot of time cooking. What are some of your favorite, quick breakfasts? Nutritious, of course!;) TIA, Cheri

> >Oh well, at least I don't freeze in the winter. I live in the North Georgia mountains-an hour plus from Atlanta. Hot 90 summers and yes it can get really cold in the winter. I love the heat but envy your winter! I do not like cold-esp. two years ago when it was below zero. I think God...

Hi Michele! I've been exercising for 12 years and I still like BS/BF-the addons are great for me when time is short. I think Cathe uses the tubing and 3 pound weights. I use much heavier and you can too as you build strength. If you're new to strength training, start there-if not, use a...
