Thanks for the response! I feel so special that THE Cathe has responded to my question! Thanks for everything you do for us Cathletes.

Cathe, can you please explain whether or not deep squats are safe, and why you do not include them in your workouts? I've always been fine doing the half squats in your videos and have had no knee issues, but my husband recently got into weight lifting and is using a program called Strong...

Hi everyone. I haven't been to these forums in quite a while, and thought I'd check in and take a look at the slideshows for the new workouts. Forgive me if this was already discussed, but I noticed that Jai isn't in any of the ones posted so far. Is she no longer a cast member in Cathe's...

Thanks for all of the ideas. I'll try eat less pre-packaged food, but honestly I already feel like trying to move enough is practically a full time job without also changing all of the foods I eat on a regular basis. I'm not sure it's practical for me, but I'll do what I can. I just went out and...

Thanks for the encouragement Patti. I do feel like I'm looking good (I went from a size 14 to a size 10 pants!), I guess I'm just concerned that I feel like I'm doing enough that I should gradually losing a bit, and instead I'm gaining, and the idea that I have to keep this level of physical...

Thanks for the response. It seems to me like there is sodium in almost everything that I eat unless it's fruits or veggies. Let's see, for today's menu the following things look like they've got a decent bit of sodium in them: Egg Beaters, whole grain english muffin, slice of 2% american cheese...

Hi everyone. I'm hoping someone can give me some advice on what to do, because I'm so frustrated this morning with my progress (or lack of) that I'm nearly in tears. Here's my story. I'm 5'10" and started at 171 lbs. back in January when I first purchased my bodybugg (it's a device that...

Ooh, try "A Walk on the Moon", with Diane Lane, Viggo Mortenson, and Liev Schreiber. I totally love that movie, it's grown-up sexy and has loads of atmosphere!

Thanks for all the replies. I took at look at the BSN stuff on Vitacost.com, and someone in the comments mentioned Iron-Tek from the same website, and I looked it up here on the forums and found another couple of positive comments. It looks pretty inexpensive and it sounds like Whole Foods may...

Wow, I'm glad I checked before buying these. Sounds like they're pretty awful! I'm kind of at a loss now as to what to buy, and where. I keep hearing about Designer Whey, but it seems pretty expensive. The stuff I got before at Costco was only around $30 for something like 72 scoops, and...

Bumping this, hoping for an answer before tomorrow's Costco run. :P

Have any of you out there tried EAS brand protein powder? My current supply of Wellements Pro-Rated that I bought from Costco way back just expired, so I went back to Costco to buy more, only to find that they don't carry it any more, they only carry this EAS stuff. If I remember correctly, the...

I'd recommend Nintendogs if she's at all into animals. It's really cute, you can choose your puppies then groom them, take them for walks, train them, teach them tricks, and enter them into competitions.

Thanks Cathe! Will I get the same results if I substitute S&H for PS the second two weeks? Or would I be better off using the pyramids and putting a full body weight workout in for the third weight day?

Penzey's has the BEST pizza seasoning. Not that I eat pizza often....certainly not once a week... ;-)

Here is a (rather unflattering) pigture of me and my six. Yes, I'm afraid I'm a crazy pig lady! http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b215/judegirl/Pigs/DCP03742-1.jpg

Thanks for the advice everyone. I have access to our local community gym, so maybe I'll use that as my cardio until my knees are feeling better (either elliptical or stationary bike). Butts & Guts is on the rotation for Saturday. Should I avoid standing leg work as well and just stick with the...

My knees have both been giving me problems the past few days and have been causing me a bit of pain every now and then just when I'm walking around. I recently did the first stretch in Stretch Max (the one with no equipment), and that has a few yoga-type balancing poses that I figure might be...

Yay! This looks perfect. Thank you so much for taking the time out to create these for us, as I know you're very busy with filming.

RE: Everyone: What is your favorite cereal or breakfast... Breakfast is my favorite meal, there are always so many yummy options. :-) Right now my favorite is two toasted Eggo Nutri-Grain waffles each topped with 1/4 cup lowfat cottage cheese, a 1/3 cup of thawed mixed berries from Costco...
