    New to Cathe (Happy to be here!) but not to Fitness and Weight Loss

    Thank you, Sherry, Anne, Deb, Kim and Nancy! :-) Sorry for the slow reply, I have had a crazy schedule the last couple of months. Nancy, I don't know the answer to your question about weighing so little w/that much muscle but your guess sounds reasonable. Thank you for the compliment about...

    Diet and excercise advice

    You are more than welcome, Courtney! :7 We are actually in the same boat activity-wise. When I said I am active, I meant I get a pretty good amount of activity in, not that I am active all day. I am a full-time student and run my art business, neither of which are designed for physical...

    How many calories per day / Food variety

    I have lost 101 pounds with Weight Watchers and being active. I highly recommend it! If it is at all possible to find a meeting in your area, I suggest meetings. They are a great source of support. It might be helpful for your wife to be around other people who are dealing with, or have...

    Diet and excercise advice

    Courtney, I would actually recommend that you go into a meeting and go for a few weeks to get updated on the program changes. Perhaps you would find one of the two newer options more able to fit your life. If not, then you can at least get some guidance on how to best use Winning Points. I...

    Unfortunate "side effect" of Cardio Kicks/Circuit Max

    DEBBIE ... Somehow managed to lose your email in the mess of emails I got today ( I do telecommuting and get TONS of emails). Regarding the sock question ... I am sorry, I don't know where those came from. If I did I'd certainly share! :o) They've been in the ol' sock drawer for a long...

    New to Cathe (Happy to be here!) but not to Fitness and Weight Loss

    I am new to Cathe ... have heard about her for YEARS but the first time was right as I was starting to come down with a chronic illness so I could no longer exercise at her level of intensity. As a matter of fact, I couldn't work out at ALL for years (doctor's orders) as it made me worse. I...

    Unfortunate "side effect" of Cardio Kicks/Circuit Max

    RE: Unfortunate Hi everyone! Wow, thanks for the information! I've never had that issue before so it is GREAT to hear from people "in the know". Just a little about me ... I heard about Cathe years ago, but it was right when I first started getting ill and gaining weight. Exhaustion...

    Can I substitute/modify?

    Thanks Jazz ... your answer is A.O.K! It occurred to me that this didn't need to be answered by her anyway, 'cause I was sure SOMEONE had done this! :o) Thanks, that makes me feel better about making the investment! :o)

    Diet and excercise advice

    I am a Weight Watcher and have had great results (down 101 pounds) by including great exercise routines such as Cathe's. It sounds to me like you aren't eating enough! Are you eating your activity points? I personally found that if I didn't eat ALL my activity points, my weekly points...

    Can I substitute/modify?

    I am interested in getting more of your combination weight training/cardio DVD's but noticed most need a barbell. I just don't have the space in my small house ... my hubby is feeling a bit overwhelmed with the equipment I DO have. Can I safely and effectively substitute heavy dumbbells for...

    Unfortunate "side effect" of Cardio Kicks/Circuit Max

    I just got Cardio Kicks and Circuit Max. Did both this week and seem to have an unfortunate (and kind of gross) side effect. When I am doing 90% of the jumps, I end up urinating a little. Almost every jump. I have never had this problem when working out (and still don't with my other DVDs...
