Just read this and need to add congratulations and say thank you. I have 4 years and 2 weeks and though doing very well in so many ways - life is a bit hard now and isolation has once again become my very good friend. I'm feeling a little sick today because an old 'friend' asked me to speak...

Thank you so much!!!

I'm keep thinking about getting this series but am unsure due to need of pullup bar. Not sure how I can get one to work in my apt., however, question is if I do all of Cathe's workouts - hardcore series included and do well with them, can I start with P90x or should I start with P90 as...

I need another interval workout - I know many people love Tony Horton's upper body workouts, would you also recommend his P90X pylometric workout? Also, how - where can you buy his workouts without having to purchase the whole set?

Okay, that's amazing - you made me laugh. After weeks of hating myself and just wanting to cry. And I will not only remember that don't they don't always look that chiseled, but that I wouldn't want to live the way they do to get that way. I keep forgetting that I did once - got really...

I left peri a few years ago, a year later I found Cathe - and got into the best shape of my life. I forgot all about that these past few months. Will try the talking to myself during workouts, only ones there are my cats, they'll just assume I'm talking to them. I feel so much better now...

That's pretty funny - since if I'd kept it up I would have weighed 300 lbs eventually. I do interval workouts, I do it all right which is what makes it frustrating. But will add Pilates back in (stopped since it doesn't burn fat), will incorporate more planks etc. And think maybe I need to...

I did calculate correctly (kilograms) LBM was 103.8. I weighed 122 when I started (now am between 124-126 depending on the day), not a big deal but really shows on me - my clothes feel and look tight. The only way to get 30% protein would be to reduce my calories to 1700/day, I can't even do...

Tracie, thank you - I felt horrible, my stomach looked like an 8 lb medicine ball. I can't believe how long I stayed with it. I've only been back to my normal eating habits for about a week now, haven't lost what I gained yet - but I'm going to keep it up and see what happens. Must say I only...

Wish I knew what I did wrong - I seem to be the only one who actually gained weight following the BFFM plan. 30% protein was killing me - I actually would wake up dreaming of choking on chicken and feel stuffed (uncomfortably) before I even started the day. I am not trying to lose weight but...

Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I have newly discovered the magic of coffee before exercise. First morning a few weeks ago when I had real coffee (not decaf)I was amazed in the difference in my energy/attitude endurance levels. Not that they were bad before but just a bit better - so...

What this study said was that after giving some cyclists a 200 milligram pill of caffeine and others a placebo - tests showed blood flow restriction to the hearts of the caffeinated cyclists. I also have read that caffeine is good for pre-workouts because of the fat burning - energy boost it...

Anyone else read that having coffee (caffeine) before working out is not a good thing as it constricts full blood flow to the heart? This actually depresses me, I can't tell you how much I look forward that one cup at 4:45 before I work out. Anyone know anthing about this - really hoping...

Just bumping to see if anyone out there can help.
