Shelley -- I know that lime cat anywhere!! We met at the '05 RT -- hard to believe that was 8 years ago! I'm in -- #28! This will be my 4th Glassboro Road Trip (2005, 2008, 2010). Can't wait to sweat and eat :)

Do these run a little small, or true to size?

Which Cathe DVD's would be "metabolic training?" I know Afterburn, AT, and CrossFire are. Are circuit workouts metabolic because of the compound exercises? Or would the STS Cardio Series be more metabolic because of the shorter breaks after intense bursts? I've been trying to educate...

Ha -- sold out of 9 and 9.5, so I guess I saved money tonight (but I wanted the shoes!).

Congratulations on your amazing success!! As someone else said, I was inspired by the 30 lb down thread title -- only to find the updates that now show you down 55 pounds!! Congrats!

Thanks, Natalie, for the quick reply. I think I'll try them, and do my best to keep things even on both sides :)

Is Jillian's cueing in this one better than on her other DVDs? And does the workout do a better job of "doing to one side what you do to the other?" I count the reps in her workouts, because she doesn't consistently perform the same number of reps on the second leg (if she even exercises the...

Which workout has "Who's Boss" in it? I saw the t-shirt on FB the other day, but drawing a blank. I also like "Train how you want to look." Thanks for sharing! Sometimes I'm so busy just trying to catch my breath that I don't really listen. I'm missing a lot of good stuff!!

I've only done the upper body workout. I too noticed that she does not work both sides. And even when she does, the number of reps is not the same, so I always count and modify! I think all of her workouts are like this. Thankfully, Cathe taught us the right way :)

Cathe has so many little motivational gems in her workouts. What are your favorites? (I'm trying to find my new mantra -- and good inspiration!)

I just joined the WW/Cathe group too. (Alleycat) Thanks for starting it, Rhonda. I want and need to lose 20 more lbs. I do well for a week, and then slide. I'm tired of it already!

I developed carpal tunnel while pregnant, and it lasted a couple months post partum. I didn't do anything for it; was just annoyed to have it. I had never heard of it as a prenatal side effect before. But, the numbness did go away on its own.

I've only done Meso 1 so far, so can't speak to what is needed for the other 2 phases. I have 5, 8, and 10 lb dumbbells, Ironman adjustable dumbbells (up to 55 lbs each), tubes and bands, a weighted vest (which I haven't used yet), stability ball, and a 100-lb barbell set I bought on sale at...

I had the pleasure of meeting Chris at the '05 (the lone guy at the RT!) and '10 RTs. He always had a smile on his face. I'm sorry to hear of his passing.

Luckily, I don't have to travel far -- just across the Ben Franklin Bridge :)
