Anyone who says you can't change your body shape is wrong, but sometimes it's hard to tell what changes you're making until they appear. I quit dieting, increased my weights in my workouts, and in three weeks I have built a butt the size of a house! As someone else puts it, "a butt you could...

Okay here's the story. I did weight watchers last year, lost 14 pounds, looked great but was miserable the whole time, was just starving. It also stirred up some bad eating habits that I don't want to continue. And my weight was creeping up because I was tired of being hungry all the time...

How's everyone doing with this? I ate a lot the first two days or so, then was hardly hungry for the rest of that week. Some days I eat so much it's positively alarming, then other days not so much. I've gained 2lbs but still fit in my size 6's. It's hard for my brain to accept that it's...

Somewhere you mentioned that running after a weight day prevented you from seeing results from weightlifting. I was wondering how you coordinate running/weights so you still get the results you want? Thanks, Kath

LAST EDITED ON Mar-30-02 AT 05:35PM (Est)[p]Has anyone gotten all the sculpting results they want from one of these endurance-type tapes? I need to let go of my comfort zone of ps/s&h and do endurance workouts for awhile until I get better at them... but am so nervous I'll lose ground. I'm...

LAST EDITED ON Feb-18-02 AT 02:15PM (Est)[p]I recommend gap classic jeans. For me, these are the only jeans in the world that fit right. Also, the size and placement of the seat pockets is just right for a flattering look. As an example, with eddie bauer jeans (sorry if you love them) the...

I just visited dietitian.com which someone recommended in another post, and fitday.com, to see what they say my daily calorie intake should be. The answers range from 2400-3200 calories a day. Imagine 3200 calories a day, haha! I'd be in hog heaven. Seriously, I have not found the answer to how...

If it doesn't build nice sculpty muscles, which burn more calories for me, why do it? I know there's got to be a benefit, just would like to know, maybe I'll add it in. Thanks.

What are the advantages of each, in strength training? I focus on the power, slow, mass building type training because if I understand right, that's what adds the most muscle fiber, which makes us stronger and uses more calories to maintain itself. Does endurance strength training, which...

Hi Cathe, What do you think about the new research that says it's just as beneficial to do one set as it is to do three? I'm not quoting from anywhere specific, just have come across this often lately...that if you lift really heavy for 8-10 reps, everything after that makes no difference. I'm...

This was my first week of S & H. I'm used to Pure Strength leaving me a little sore but very strong. Even though I worked hard, I don't feel sore or strong. What's up with that? It's like I didn't work out at all and I feel like I'll lose ground if I continue. I don't build muscle easily. I...

How much weight do you put on each end of your barbell to do these? They seem too easy, but if I put too much weight on my barbell it slides out from under me. For a frame of reference, I do pure strength with a 30lb barbell--I'm betty spaghetti in the arms.

For the last 11 weeks I've been doing pure strength, alternating with cardio--jogging or step. I'm feeling like I need a change but don't want to stop making progress. If I switch over to ctx, is that considered as tough as ps? I don't want to lose ground. Thanks, Kath

Is this really enough to make significant changes in my body? Doing the 3-part pure strength series once a week, that is. I know I've read that overtraining the muscles can actually undo all your progress. The last thing I want to do is diminish all my hard work. And, if I can get away with...

I was feeling pretty confident about my strength gains until recently. My sculpting tapes are the wedding tape and firm volume I, and my jogging route is 4.5 miles. I thought I was ready to move up to MIS and Power Hour. Wrong!!! PH just about killed me, what I managed to do of it, anyway...

LAST EDITED ON Aug-10-01 AT 11:01PM (Est)[p]I've been out of the loop...and I see some of you have your new videos already. I ordered cd's, could that be why I haven't seen mine? Thanks, Kath

Do the same cast members show up in most of the videos, and do any of them go through changes in their physique that you can see over time? I would be very inspired to see that. Kath

I'm new to Cathe, but not to fitness tapes and jogging. I've been doing the wedding video since Jan. 1 and am ready to move ahead. Any opinions on whether I should purchase ctx or the pure strength videos first? Either way I will probably have to modify, but don't want to get in too far over...
