Hi - I have struggled with them myself and to be frank I still sometimes have to battle unhealthy thoughts. I would say that ensure that you have a good doctor and a therapist who specialises in that area. My doctor was a bit flippant about my problems and when I weighed below 90lbs she...

RE: Which Cathe's workout burns the most cal in one wor... When I come back from holiday (with lots of pigging out!), this is what I will do: MIC MIS Imax1 Powerhour Run BodyMax It always work! I've usually lost some of the weight in the first week. So I guess some of these...

Hi Shelley I wouldn't compare what you eat with others because we're all different. I probably eat more than you! I do think you should try and get some more protein. Even though I am veggie and tend to eat a lot of carbs, I do eat a lot of protein as well. I find that it keeps me...

RE: The Mine is similar. I'm including anything I might buy (I don't buy all that at once) Produce section Aubergine/ Zucchini/ Okra Chinese Cabbage/ Brussel Sprouts/ Bak Choi Green Onions/ Red Onions Red leaf romaine Spinach/ Kale/ Mushrooms/ Beansprouts Sugar Snap Peas/ Baby...

IMAX3 is a fun, fun workout. The moves are not repetitious either. I find myself quite mentally engaged during this workout which I love. But I am finding it hard on my knees. I do IMAX1 and IMAX2 quite often and they have never bothered my knees. But this one definitely does. I have...

Bobbi - Thanks for your post. It was very informative. I grew up in a third world country where human and animal suffering was acute. I used to shut my eyes or look away quite often in order to cope. I still have a tendency to do that. I think you are right about these products that are...

Hi Stacy I've been on both sides of the fence and if there's anything that I've learned is that the amount of protein and veggies you eat is a key factor in determining how much 'not so good' stuff you crave, no matter which side you are on. Its always an effort to get those veggies and...

I don't count cals or weigh myself anymore. I used to be a chronic dieter who exercised 6 times a week and weighed myself 7 days a week. I'm never going back to that. IMO, dieting leads to a slowed metabolism, cravings for high cal foods and should only be indulged in if there are medical...

I went off salads for the same reasons as you - using same old fat free or low fat stuff. I now use a little bit of olive oil, lemon juice and pine nuts on my salad. I thought I would never lose weight eating the pine nuts and olive oil but I found it did me no harm. For some reason I don't...

newswoman I think switching to a non profit organisation is a great idea. I switched to working for charity 2 years into my career and I think that is why I was able to survive for a while. But like you I really did hate the rudeness, insensitivity, politics and what kind of material made...

I used to have a 'job' for a long time but now I feel I have a purpose. I decided to give up Public Relations and become a pet groomer. I work with animals everyday and I personally feel like I am really making a difference. Very often dogs come to me in pretty bad shape and have owners...

RE: 5'3 I guess this thread is a clear indication that different weights work for different people. After being obsessed with the scale to determine my goals and having weighed everything between 89lbs - 130lbs I have reached one conclusion. Bone density and muscle mass have a lot more to do...

Hi Lee Ann I'm so sorry to hear about Chester. I have cats that go outside and they've given me a lot of grey hairs by not coming home sometimes. I work with animals and I do know that cats, even those that are not trained to go outdoors can return to your door the next day. So I would...

Nancy, I empathise. I've come down with the flu which is why I am camped here for today. I too haven't been able to workout since I switched careers to become a dog groomer. I love what I am doing but I never realised that I would have to sacrifice Cathe for it. I have to work on...

Thank you Tina, Jennifit, Jesse and Laurie for your encouraging replies. Its just good to know that there are so many people who are active and committed to exercise. Sometimes people just don't get that exercise is a hobby and stress reliever - the other groomers that I work with don't...

Hi everyone I need some advice about how many times I should workout. I used to workout 6 days a week with some yoga on my rest day. After a lot of issues with fatigue and binging, I reduced my workouts to 5 days a week with more weights than cardio with good results. I have always had...

Hi Lori I am so sorry that your daughter got bitten. That is terrible. I just wanted to say that I have a border collie/ red heeler mix from the SPCA who will lunge at anything that moves quickly like a bike, roller blader etc. Its the strong herding instinct in my dog. I normally...

Hey Firm Nurse I've been there and I still do work hard to control binge eating. From my experience - the main way to put an end to it is not purely through self-control but understanding the emotional reasons behind all that eating. Here's what I realised. There were so many...

RE: Help- Is weight training necessary in losing weight... Hey Chrischelle When I started my weight loss journey, I didn't realise lifting weights was important. I actually used almost precisely the same tapes as you and I walked. Even though my diet was very clean and well within the...

I believe bananas are also high in potassium (an important mineral). I guess in terms of weight loss - sugar is sugar. Whether it is natural or not, it can spike your blood sugar. But you can't discount the presence of fiber. Most fruits (not bananas though) are high in fiber which...
