Thanks for your responses. Lynne, a duplex or something that has more than one level to it would probably be the best bet. I don't think those high rise apartments would work unless they had something on the ground floor. Jenn - thanks so much for those links. I'll check them out...

Hi I was wondering whether there were any Catheites who live in Toronto who could give me some advice. My husband and I will be moving there in a couple of months and we need to find rented accomodation. We have no children but we have never stayed in an apartment before. I was just...

Danna I want to congratulate you for your decision. It takes courage and I know that. Its worth it too! I gave up waging an internal war with myself to look perfect on the outside. White knuckling it through emotional eating by following a prescribed diet, too much exercise etc...

Although I'm not sure I can entirely relate as my husband tends to want everything I eat (polishes off all the food I buy for myself and leaves all the crap that he buys for himself which I wouldn't want to eat), I do understand that you feel slightly deprived when you watch other family members...

Hi Shelley Here are some ways in which I eat my veggies - hope you will find something in there which you like - Since you like V8 you could try looking into making juice with fresh carrots, celery and other veggies. You can control the sodium and make sure that you don't lose the...

Hi Candy I hope my post will be taken in the right spirit. I too am very small - 5ft 3"/ tiny bones and I only feel happy at 105lbs. I tend to rely very heavily on looking thin for self esteem and am also very obsessed with dieting. I'm beginning to realise that my set point is...

I had this test done. I was having trouble maintaining my weight rather than losing. My RMR results were really low - 950. The guy who did the test said that I should eat 1200 to lose and approx 1500 to maintain. Those numbers didn't work for me. I was still losing on 1700 cals...

Hi I think you will lose weight (or body fat) eventually if you are expending more calories than you are taking in. Eating often will help with the metabolism. But from what I've heard, if you eat a low amount of cals and exercise intensely on a regular basis, the body eventually...

I know how you feel. I am in the same boat. I had to cut down my exercise and gain 10lbs to regulate my cycle again. I wanted to believe that I could workout 6 days a week and be tiny but my body was telling me otherwise. I know women who are the same height as me, thinner than me...

Hi - I've just recovered from a stomach bug so I know how yuck you must be feeling. Yogurt is what my Mum always gave me when I had an unsettled tummy and I still find it works the best for me. I don't mean the flavoured ones though. Just the plain stuff. Also dry toast works. Stay...

Hi Lizzy To be totally honest working out 6 days a week for me is an indulgence. It also leads to fatigue, constant muscle soreness and a voracious apetite for me. But I do love working out so I allow myself some extra occasionally. Ordinarily, I work out intensely only 4 days a week...

Fitness Goddess I am not a confrontational person but do you believe the suggestions I have posted as someone who has fought pretty hard to recover from an ED a 'diservice'?! Firstly I advised her to get online support from the best online resource there is for ED sufferers and read some...

I agree with honeybunch. Bulimia is a serious problem and you should change your therapist if the current one is not working. I have suffered from everything from anorexia, exercise bulimia to binge eating and for me it was a process of unearthing the emotional issues that I was trying to numb...

RE: Anna and Janice... Hey Karina I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who experiences knee pain when doing CTX in its original format. My body seems to prefer alternating one day of cardio with one day of strength training. However if you are trying to lose weight the format of...

RE: "Foggy brain" while "eating clean&qu... I know how you feel - I love to eat airy (volume)foods and if I'm not careful, I end up feeling lousy too. With clean eating there is sometimes no guessing how much energy (cals) your body actaully gets (particularly if you are eating...

Wow - that is high! Mine was only 940. I'm no expert but I find that the only effective way for me to get rid of stubborn body fat is to calorie interval. I don't spend too much time counting cals but occasionally I will take in a lot less cals (as low as 1000 but only for a short while)...

Hey Robin - Have you tried the TTR? I think that involves hitting the upper body 3 times. That rotation did work for me and I normally have a really hard time gaining muscle in the upper body. I have also tried reversing the technique for legs but found that 3 times for the legs was a bit...

I am really confused! I had the Medgem test done because I am having a lot of trouble stabilising my weight. I need to be in 3 digits to be healthy (I am 5ft 3") so I decided to find out what my RMR was in order to determine my caloric needs. I was kind of hoping that my RMR would high as it...

RE: The New Calorie Chart is in!!! Please check this ou... Wow! That's a lot of food. Unfortunately I had the Medgem thing done this weekend (it measures your metabolic rate) and apparently mine is a dismal 920. So apparently even with my Cathe workouts I can only eat 1300 cals a day to...

Another great protein powder is Genisoy. The plain one is free of sugar and fat. It also has 5 grams of fiber per scoop and each scoop gives you a whopping 25grams of protein for 100 cals. You can use it in baking, mix it up in savoury items as well, make a protein shake, stir it into your...
