The tank top rotation gave me wonderful results. It really worked for my body. Even though I wasn't looking for weight loss when I tried it, it just happened. More than weight loss, I like the way I really leaned out with it. I think I actually ate anywhere b'ween 1600 - 2200 cals on it...

Hi Anna - Sorry to hear that you are feeling down. I know what you mean about the sunlight thing. Hate it when its all gloomy! As far as weight loss goes the worst part about it is how slow and gradual it can be. It can really taste your patience. I think 6 Cathe workouts with sensible...

Hi Donna - I need something sweet everyday as well and it has to be sugar. A friend told me that it may have more to do with brain chemistry than anything else. Carbs produce a chemical called serotonin (spelling?) that produce a sense of calm and happiness. Some people need more of this than...

Hi Kay - Your post touched my heart! I know what you mean about weight loss being one of the toughest journey's you have undertaken. I know for me it was because I used to use food to cope and once it was taken away, I had no other crutch (except for exercise and weight loss goals). In a...

I've struggled with same problem. One important thing is to be patient. For some of us, weight loss seems to be very slow and gradual. You should also get a check up to make sure medical reasons are not hampering your efforts. Also if you were on a low cal diet for a long time, chances are...

Fun thread! I can identify with so many of the goals that people have set for themselves. Here are mine: To adopt a moderate approach towards things To be less self-centred To respect my body by returning it to a healthy weight (with body fat, curves and all!) To stop obsessing about diet...

This is definitely a recipe that helps a carb freak like me stay away from all those white flour goodies. Whole grain pastry flour is pretty common, so you should be able to pick it up from anywhere. I use Arrowhead Mills which I get from my local Krogers. I think its the texture of the...

Hi everyone! I though I would share this recipe from the Rosie Daley, Andrew Weil book. Its fairly healthy and tastes delicious. It is quick to make and I've been having a good chunk of this cake as my daily treat. Its doing me no harm whatsoever. Everyone enjoys it - even kids. It has a...

Hey Bobbi! Sorry to hear about your injury. I think you are doing a darn good job of trying to be positive - that really takes strength. Hope your injury heals soon. Don't forget to keep up with good nutrition. Also, please don't be a stranger. I miss your posts a lot. I have learnt so...

LAST EDITED ON Dec-15-02 AT 01:28AM (Est)[p]Dear Sherry - I am so sorry that you have so much to deal with. I'm not very good with words, but just wanted to let you know that I will be thinking about you and praying for you. Take care. Hugs!

Hi Cathe - I can't wait for your new tapes! Thank you so much for giving me something to look forward to when it comes to exercise. Its exactly what I need as I've been stuck in a rut. I think I'm close burnout (yet again) and have seriously started to look into ways to avoid that. I have...

Hi Clare - another fellow ecto with a skinny upper body and very little strength in the shoulders and chest. Like you, I'm not very motivated when it comes to upper body work. I love PS though. Although the reps are almost similar in speed to MIS, the exercises are different and the split...

Hi Anna - I don't live in the UK anymore. I used to live there though (Bristol first and then London) - infact I travelled a lot to Nottingham on work. I remember liking it a lot. I'm not a very good cook but I try to make an effort occasionally. I normally use www.fatfree.com for...

Hey Kathy - looks like we do eat similar! I love sesame crackers. I am so glad to hear that they are healthy too! Anna - you could use other grains as well though I like bulgur and barley the best because they work well with raw veggies. Couscous is great too when cooked with a little tumeric...

plain boiled bulgur wheat tossed with lots of raw salad veggies (spinach, red onions, celery, red cabbage etc.), some tofu/chicken/ chick peas, lots of lemon juice, pepper and basil. oatmeal/ oatbran/ steel cut oats cooked with some apples, pine nuts, cinnamon, vanilla and non fat cottage...

Hi Erica - you're right! I think I need time to allow my body to settle at a weight it is comfortable with etc. I guess I need to relax and continue with a healthy diet and exercise routine. Congratulations on the birth of your little baby girl. Isn't it wonderful when things like that...

This is a good thread. I needed to read some of this, so thanks for posting Jennifer Ann. I went through the same thing a while back and decided that I just needed to take a break. I eased up with the eating and exercise. After having working hard on food and exercise related issues for a...

Thanks for your response. I normally exercise no more than 60 minutes per day unless the tape is a bit a longer (like MIC). I also limit intense cardio to 2 hours per week. If I feel the need for more cardio - I just walk. I lift 3 or 4 times per week. I also take a day off for rest every 4...

Hi Everyone! I just turned 31 and have been wanting to have a baby for a long time. Although hubby and I have been married for a while, the timing was never right - not enough savings, house too small etc. Now we both feel that things are in place for a new member in the family. But I...

MadnNatsMom - your post cracked me up. Anna - Krispy Kreme's are alright but IMO both Sainsbury's and Tesco's do better ones - particularly when they are fresh and warm. Oh how I miss those!
