Thanks. Can you do the advanced on both series if you didn't do the beginning set? I do Kickmax and Tae Bo, so I know basic kickboxing workouts, but didn't know if I needed to do the basic Turbo Jam series.

Hello, I am looking to supplement my Cathe workouts with something else. By looking at your posts, I see a lot of you have purchased programs from Beachbody's lines. I would love to hear your recommendations as I can only purchase one complete set at a time. I'm looking to drop 7 pounds...

Hello, I back on the BFL program to fight those holiday pounds.}( My big problem is snacks. I am running out of ideas. You can only eat so much yogurt and drink so many nutrition shakes before you get sick of them. I'd love to hear from others what they do for those small midday snacks...

Hi Lori, I have been doing this exact rotation for almost 3 weeks now. At first I dropped a couple of pounds, but then I stalled again. So I looked carefully at my diet and am trying to be really clean (I follow BFL). The pounds are moving (1/2-1 a week) but it is slow, especially when you...

To break a plateau I have started doing circuit training 3 days a week with the other 3 days doing just straight cardio. That gives me 6 days of cardio. My hope is to drop 5 pounds. I only started this last week, but I have lost 2 pounds, so I think it is working. Everything is a trade...

>Shopgirl, if you're a size 6 it means you are not buying >Ellen Tracy, Dana Buchman or Eileen Fisher. You would be a >size 2 or a 0 in those clothes! :P Damn! Guess I'll have to go shopping. :7 Thanks for the tip.

I am stuck at 118, would love to be 110-112 again, but would settle for 115. I am 5'5" and a solid size 6.

Thanks everybody. You've all given me very helpful ideas. I will try increasing my calories with lean protein and calcium and upping my cardio to 5 days a week. I think I'll also try the calorie staggering idea and see if it makes a difference. Many, many thanks. Shopgirl

The website was helpful. Depending on my activity, I'm between 1900 and 2000 calories a day. About 300 more than I am consuming now. Although it is hard to believe that if I eat more, I'll lose weight. Love the concept though. :D I don't know if I am overtraining. I sweat, my heartrate gets...

I mix it up, but always have at least one of the 3 cardio workouts an interval workout and another one a circuit workout, the third is straight cardio. This week it is IMAX2 and then KickMax - (Bootcamp Challenge premix), and Tae Bo with Cardio & Weights and ME to cover upper body and Legs &...

The weight I am putting on is all fat. I don't weigh myself, I measure and the inches are creeping higher. Went from 35 1/2 inch hips to 36 and 1/2 in 2 months! I've never had cellulite before and now my legs and hips are full of it. Underneath all of that fat is solid muscle (thanks to Cathe)...

So ... I work out to Cathe 6 days a week (mixing up all the workouts), follow the Body for Life program pretty closely (3 days weights, 3 days cardio)(5 small meals - each half protein/half carb), drink tons of water, caloric intake is about 1400-1700 daily, and I'm gaining weight. Had my...

Yup, tell him for both of their sakes. It may be innocent, but just knowing that people are looking out for her may be a deterrent to bad behavior later on. If it were my kid, I would want to know. - Shopgirl

I think it is a tie between Bootcamp and HSTA. I sweat buckets with both.

This is a great thread. I agree with everyone above, add a couple more each workout and you'll get there. I love what push-ups do for my triceps, but they absolutely kill my lower back. Has anyone else experienced this problem? I am careful to keep my back flat and abs tucked and still the...

Thank you all for your help. I feel a little less guilty about going on vacation now. (Did I forget to mention, the place we are going to has an all-you-can-eat ice cream sundae bar) :9 Ahh - love vacations! - Shopgirl :-)

Okay, this is kind of a stupid question, but here goes... next week we go on vacation for 10 days. I am going someplace without a fitness room, just a lake and golfing. I figure I can alternate running and walking for cardio, and push-ups and ab work for upper body, but am wondering if the lack...

I also purchased the Ryka Rhythm II and they do offer good support, however, it is difficult to do lateral movement in them because they have a high cut. Once they wear out, I won't repurchase another pair. - Shopgirl

Here's my two cents, I have the Dyson Complete and, while it does a nice job, I think it is overrated. You can't vacuum small rugs, because the suction is too powerful. It's true the extension hose is 17 feet, but when you are trying to vacuum the stairs, it's like wrestling with an Anaconda...

Wow - my hat is off to you! Job well done. You look fantastic. What eating program did you follow? It looks like the weight came off in a very steady manner. All the best. Shopgirl
