I've taken your advice and lowered the step, and I also stopped using weights w/lunges, and I don't lunge down as far either, and do less reps. I'm careful with the power step moves too. My knees feel much better, but now I'm worried that I'm not working out hard enough to lose weight! But I'll...

Help, I still need to lose 10 pounds after my baby! I've started doing weights and Cathe's step videos. Before pregnancy, I worked out about 6 days a week, with about 3 of those days being a Cathe video, with my step on 10 inches. Now I've got the step at 8 inches and I don't even finish the...

Cathe, Congratulations!!! So... we both though we were having Y2K babies and ended up with a couple of 1999 cuties! I was surprised to log on here and find you'd already delivered! I saw the pics, and Eric is absolutely beautiful!!!! And you look great too, Mommy! I didn't catch how early he...

Hang in there Cathe! And like I said, enjoy it now - get some sleep! Soon you'll be up every 2 hours at night like I am, feeding your little one! Steven screams as if we've been starving him, even if he only ate 2 hours ago! My husband did night duty for the 1st time last night, and boy is he...

Thanks everyone Thanks for the well wishes!Little Steven is doing just great here at home, he's eating, eating, eating and gaining weight rapidly, just what we want! I'm trying to catch a few naps during the day when he sleeps, but it's so tempting to get housework done, and surf the web of...

Cathe, I had my baby!!! Yes, he came very early - my original due date was 1/7/00. I went into preterm labor (no one knows why) at 32w6d and delivered at 33w4d, 2 days before Thanksgiving. My little boy was very healthy at birth, just small at 4 lbs, 6 oz, so he had to stay in the hospital for...

Hi Cathe, keep hangin' in, we're almost there!!! I just read your Nov. update and boy you've had a rough few weeks! Have another Devil Dog(mmm, think I'll go get one too!) & glass of milk, get a good book and RELAX, you deserve it! I've been fortunate enough that the only discomfort I've had is...

Congrats, Cathe to you too! I hope things are going well and that your sore hip has healed. I thought of you this week, because at work several women have commented on how "small" I am (FYI, I don't think I'm small at all!). There are some pregnant women who are due after me, but are bigger...

Hi, I'm 26weeks pregnant, and was told by my Dr. that I can/should exercise during my pregnancy, and not to exceed 140 bpm. Taking a 10 second count, this works out to 23 beats in 10 seconds, right? Well being the paranoid person that I am, I stop to take my pulse about every 5-10 minutes. Is...

Cathe, you must be due around the same day as me! I am due 1/7/00, and currently am 26w2d. This is my first child. I have always been an avid fan of yours, and have almost all of your videos. When I became pregnant last spring, the Dr. said not to do heavy step aerobics anymore. I freaked and...
