Cathy, I have purchased so many of your videos & DVDs and recently found one that did not work. I'm so dismayed with how poor SNM is with handling this. I'm very frustrated and thought you should know. Ellen Johnson

Hi all. Just wanted to share that I bought the Home Depot mats but could not get them to stay put. So, I had Carpet Barn pull up a 12 x 12 section of my carpet and upgrade the padding. Total cost about $100. The girl at the store recommended 8#... not too squishy but cushions well. After...

RE: Hey Ellen in Nevada! I try to eat carbs and protein but because of my sweet tooth probably overdose on carbs. My mom is a carbo junkie and has always been very heavy, even obese at times. She now follows a diabetes diet and is losing weight very quickly. She eats protein and carbs at...

LAST EDITED ON Sep-07-01 AT 02:33PM (Est)[p]Hi! I really want to buy one of these for my husband but cannot pay the $ 1,000 price for it. Anyone out there know one for sale? Anyone out there used one and liked/disliked it? Ellen OH, I AM SO SORRY I POSTED THIS UNDER ASK CATHE. I MEANT...

Your message made me very motivated! I hate watching my leg muscles get bigger under the chub and felt like quiting any weights alltogether. My diet is a problem and so is sitting at a desk all day. I am great about working out 6 days a week and feel I may change things around a bit based on...

Has anyone out there tried CLA to lower body fat? Ellen in Las Vegas

RE: A step junky's humble comments butt meat hahaha! I like that term. I think I am carrying about an extra 8 lbs too and it really makes a big difference in the appearance I see in the mirror. I played tennis last night and plan on a short jog tonight. I really like working out at home...

RE: A step junky's humble comments The specific problem I am having with Step and my shape is my upper hip area is sticking out w/muscle causing a dimple on side of butt and a square butt shape instead of a curved shape. I am guessing that this is either some extra meat on me or it is from too...

Hi Cathe, I was wondering if doing only step is a bad thing for my muscles? I may run 1 day per week but the rest is IM, Circut Max, Step Max, or Step Fit. I am waiting on Rythmic Step to arrive. Will this give me a bad shape? Sorry if this is a repeat question. Thanks...Ellen

Hi Ruth. Trying to do better with my eating but I really love sweets. I sit at a desk all day and drink a lot of Diet Snapples, etc so am wondering if they are adding water weight. I already ask countless favors from my family on a daily basis. They are so sweet :)I am leary of strength...

I know written communication leaves some gaps and misunderstandings (especially with me rushing around all the time). He is just replying to my complaining about the extra weight. Really I don't mind the advice from anyone. I just want to make some gains in my health. I usually workout 7...

I am thinking of rotating w/a cardio kick tape so my hips don't appear bigger. I am doing 1 day of running per week. And would love to have a new intermediate tennis partner. Thank you for your advice.

Christine - Don't extra weights make you heavier looking and bigger? Which tape is MIS??? Thanks for your input...Ellen

Hi Debra, no no you are not bossing me... I am looking for the advice. I avoid weights a lot of weights because I look pretty stocky sometimes. I was wondering how everyone in Cathe's videos tend to look better and better with weight training where I just look bigger.

Thanks Suzanne. I think my husband is feeling guilty for not working out :) but also is a bit miffed when I complain about the extra 5 pounds. They are hitting my upper hip area where the muscle is building from step workouts. Do you do tough workouts 6 days per week? Eating is a problem...

I am still trying to lose 5 or so pounds and fit into my clothes more comfortably. My husband is telling me to take 2 days off per week but I can barely stand it. I am trying Circut Max which is about the only weights I do in addition to Interval Max, 1 day of jogging and either Step Max or...

Thanks for taking the time to answer. Your web site is getting busier and busier. I did IM again last night and realized it was not plyo-jacks on the board; rather interval #2. No worry... I am back to doing them on the floor. I think my step is sturdier than yours. As far as the neck...

Hi and how are you? I have been doing your tapes for a year and a half and really love/hate them. I never thought I could stay in shape with something other than running but your tapes seem to be doing the trick. Too hot in Las Vegas for running and I seem to have mild hip-dysplasia (I am not...

Sharon - I am built like you but am 5'4, 130-135 lbs, size 6. I can't wait to hear all the responses to your question. I always like to know if I am doing the right thing for my build. I don't want to look any bigger than I look now muscle wise. I have short legs and build muscle easily. I...

I know you are waiting for Cathy's response but I was gong to write you that: Interval Max is a killer for a new mom getting back into working out! My son is 8 now but I lost tons of weight through exercise after he was born (about 40 lbs.) Try some long duration easier workouts to get back...
