Worst-case scenario: So she continues in her sedentary and over-eating habits and ends up at 375 like you did. YOU overcame it, didn't you?? I don't know your story but if you're hanging out on Cathe's forum, you must be pretty fit!! So if she digs herself a hole as deep as you did, TRUST...

Just did S&H legs and shoulders for the first time! Liked it! Used 8 lb then 5 lb on the rear delt raises. yeeoch! I did an abbreviated version (only two sets per exercise) because the kids were due home from school soon. . . so, I AM working on those rear delts! And in the meantime, uh...

I'm with ellenellen. I did exclusively Cathe for a LONG time until I got kind of burnt out, then found the Firm and WOW what a challenge! I was just NOT used to that kind of workout and it really kicked me in the rear! I thought I was so "advanced" after doing Cathe, too, so my pride got a...

Just bumping hoping for an answer to the strong lats/weak rear delts dilemma. . . Hoping there is an exercise I can substitute that works those lats without engaging the rear delts so much, or a form pointer that will help me keep the rear delts OUT of the picture! Kimberly, hope you are doing...

Poor Kimberly!! What is up with your foot? It wasn't THAT long ago (a year or so?) that you had knee surgery!! Honestly, your doc is going to get an overuse injury just from operating on YOU, does he know that? ;) Thanks for the info on the fingers, and I hope you are able to enjoy the S&H...

I just did S&H chest and back for the first time and have a couple of form questions: 1) my back is my strongest body part. Although I usually know to start with HALF the weight Cathe uses most body parts, I can match her weights on back exercises for some reason. Here's the problem: My...

Hey Faythe, I was going to tell you that there is a home for sale near us that is on 6.4 acres. . . I have NO IDEA what the house looks like, it isn't visible from the road. But now that I read your post I wonder if it's the same house?? --because we're north of HBurg too. . . Wouldn't that...

I have only recently been delving into yoga, very tentatively because I am wary of the spirituality behind it. . . I posted several times to the VF thread trying to figure out what the objection was to YogaFit certification (which sounds to me like a good program and I'm probably going to get...

Hi Faythe!! I just moved to Hburg a few months ago and WE LOVE IT!!! We live in the mountains north of town, in a little rural subdivision. We are just a couple of miles from the Appalachian trail, and right up against some state gamelands. . . We have black bears and deer and all sorts of...

I am SO GLAD I ended up ordering the SLow and Heavy series in addition to RS and PH! I almost didn't, then added them on at the last minute. I LOVE the covers, Cathe looks so serious and focused, these are not "fluff"-looking covers, they are REAL STUFF. Love 'em!

me too, me too!! I'm really struggling with whether or not to preorder the Slow and Heavy series. . . I really WANT to (just 'cause they're CATHE!!) --however, once a week per body part doesn't do much for me and with a three day split it is almost impossible to do them twice in a week and...

RE: here's the scoop, Sophie! who, ME??? Demanding WHAT?? She ducks her head. . . . She digs her toe in the dirt. . . She tries her cutest "I'm innocent" look. . . . But yeah, that was me. Sad but true. LOL! (I'm cyber-savvy! I know where on the web to look for a good fudge recipe...

here's the scoop, Sophie! Here is the bath mat post. I kinda like it! I guess suffering brings out the creative genius in me. hehe. My bath mat slipped with me upon it it hurt so bad I knew I'd done it! With one leg in and one leg out I did a split! A twist, a shout! Now I'm a gorgeous...

Sometimes I can get in, it is just very, very slow. Today though, I can't get in at all, keep getting timed out. I wanted to report that I did my virgin tape for virgin tape day! It is my first workout since my bath mat debacle last Thursday (I fell in the tub, well, in and out, with one...

Hey Lora, somehow I have lost your e-mail address. . . I just wanted to let you know that the CTX tapes arrived home just fine! They were glad to see me but had a good time at your house too. . . :-)
