I've forgotten the addy of the on-line food/calorie counting site I used to use. I was wondering if anyone knows what I'm talking about. I think I heard about it here originally. It was free. Thanks so much. (and sorry for being vague here)

That's a kind of a dubious honor so maybe you won't own up to it if you are indeed the inventor of the dreaded low-end}( Just kidding. I'd never seen a low-end before so I was curious if you thought them up. Thanks! Jennifer

RE: Re: Throwing the scale away I agree with Honeybunch. When I gained 30 pounds a few years ago, I was in denial about it. I never weighed myself. I gradually had to buy new clothes. And the weird way that clothes fit, some clothes fit longer than others so it was easy to rationalize away...

I got PS first and think I made the right decision. It's more flexible than S&H because you can do it longer. I just bought S&H and it's tough. It takes so much more concentration than PS. If you can afford both then I'd get both because they're both great but if you only want one, then PS...

I really love C&W. The choreography is so much fun. And since the intensity is lower, I get to enjoy it more. BTW, I think the abs are pretty tough though.

I'm just like the rest of you. 5'1'' and 130 pounds and most of my fat is in my thighs. My frustration is with lifting heavy enough for lower body. I did S&H for the first time this week and was a bit conservative and used 40# for legs. I could definitely have gone heavier but I've never...

The best thing for my cardio endurance was interval training. I did Intense Moves weekly for a several months.

I had the Body Sculpting system but traded it away. I kept the tall box though. IMHO the newer Firms are not as hard as Cathe. Ab Sculpt is way too easy. Cardio Sculpt is intermediate and is kind of fun. Body Sculpt is the hardest of the set and with heavier weights could be a shorter Cathe...

I would define "eating clean" as eating healthy foods with a healthy balance of fat, carbs and protein.

Interval Max is an interval workout which means that it has a few minutes of a step routine followed by an interval blast where you should get anaerobic. IMax has 10 intervals. Circuit Max is a circuit where you do 5 or 6 (can't remember) circuits with about 5 minutes of cardio followed by a...

I wouldn't say that any of Cathe's tapes are "low intensity" but some are easier than others. Step Heat is intermediate, i.e. some power moves, but it's not 'low intensity.' It's also shorter than Cathe's other step tapes so it's a really good option for someone new to Cathe. Of the newest...

The reason I think theirs are larger than 55 cm is that when they sit on the ball during PUB, their legs are straighter than mine. Of course it could be that mine has less air. But it looks like theirs is bigger. Cathe's almost exactly the same size as me (of course I probably weigh about...

For those of you who can do the pikes on the ball in PUB, do you do them exactly like Cathe (with flat feet)? I've done the stability ball section only from PUB and am able to do the pikes if I keep my toes pointed with the top of my foot on the ball. I first tried it like Cathe, with my feet...

One time someone stole my box of fabric softener sheets. I left in the apartment laundry room for about 2 minutes and when I came back it was gone. Who steals a box of fabric softener? It never ceases to amaze me what people will do!

I did Boot Camp today for the first time and LOVED it. It was so much fun. It wasn't as tough as I imagined. I really appreciated all those little breaks Cathe gave us. I expect that I'll be very sore tomorrow. I got through almost all of the cycles. I had a few problems when I didn't...
