LAST EDITED ON Jul-09-02 AT 08:55PM (Est)[p]Denise - sorry about that post. No, I do more cardio than that. Normally about 3 hours per week (I love cardio too). What I meant was that including atleast one interval type of workout within those 3 hours has really improved my fitness levels.

I'm no expert at rotations. But I am an hourglass who finally managed to get to her goal weight through trial and error. These are some of things that give me faster results and I plan my rotations accordingly (most of them are really obvious) - alternating b'ween rotations that concentrate on...

K - I enjoyed that article. I find that interval training once a week really does work for me. PS - Have you checked out the Dream Cafe? It has become my favourite haunt.

Yup - I too have started noticing stuff like that. I went to London recently and my friends and family who haven't seen me for over a year were surprised at the amount of weight I had lost. Someone commented on how skinny I had become and said I definitely needed to put on atleast half a stone...

RE: A few more musings . . . Thanks a tonne for that Annette - I read all that stuff out there and get totally confused - some say eat after a workout to replenish glycogen stores, others say do not eat to maximise fat burn - Gosh, who knows? I've just started relying on my own body a lot more...

Like Robin I too have not truly 'grasped' why an endurance rotation can make you look more 'cut'. On the other hand I feel that shocking your muscles occasionally is essential for both weight loss and weight maintainance. When I do strength rotations (which is most of the time) I tend to gain...

I can't be of much help with rotation ideas as I am not familar with some of your tapes (CTX and Firm) but I can vouch for the fact that I have lost weight and built muscle mass on a calorie deficit. Infact I think you really do need to focus on building your muscles to optimise weight loss for...

Hi Wendy - I don't check in here normally but I really wanted to thank you. A while ago it was your messages that drilled some sense into me. I was knocking my poor body around with far too much high impact stuff and refusing to accept my limitations. Now that I have adopted a less is more...

Hey pfive - I am exactly the same height and weight as you and I am 30 years old. A lot of people have been saying that I need to put on some weight though. Is 107 a healthy weight or are you trying to put on weight? 3 months ago I was stuck on 115lbs and now I can't seem to stop losing...

Sara - I had my mushroom burger with basil leaves and a slice of low fat cheese yesterday. It was delicious - thanks for the tip. Have you tried the buckwheat pancake mix available at whole foods? You need to add egg beaters and water to it. I normally have two pancakes (they are fluffy but...

Its called 'Dr Bob Arnot's Revolutionary Weight Control Program'

I love sprouted whole grain bread. Apparently sprouted wheat has a higher protein content. I use Ezekiel burger or hot dog buns but I think you get other brands as well. As for the portobello mushrooms - I normally brush them with a bit of olive oil or spray it with some Pam (olive oil...

Very nice Cruncholi - I eat the same meal quite often except I normally have the spinach and mushrooms just raw in a salad. Or sometimes I sandwich a huge portobello mushroom in a burger bun with tomatoes etc. and have a protein shake with it. Do you eat your veggie burger plain or in a...

Thanks for that - I'll give the second approach a try and see if it works for me. Oh and have a wonderful holiday.

Hi Jillybean - I was wondering whether you could share how you used S&H in your rotation. I have just received the DVD and I am really excited about doing it. I am unsure how to use it though (split it with cardio etc.) Thanks a lot.

RE: wonderfully worded KathyS Wonderful post Kathy - Cathe and her crew are a perfect example of how we all come in different shapes and sizes. Cedee is so graceful and wonderfully light on her feet. You don't have to weigh a certain amount or be a certain size to be full of energy and...

Personally, I feel there might be some truth to this. For a month I lifted as heavy as I possibly could 3 times a week and because I was feeling a bit burnt out at that time I alternated my strength training with only 3 half hour sessions of intense cardio. I had very dramatic results...

Hi all! I am so glad I read this book. I am sure intuitive eating comes naturally to most people but for me its been one of the hardest things I have ever done. I never knew how strong my obsession with food, exercise, losing weight etc. had become until I tried removing some of the many...

Hey Lori - Good for you. I did the same thing. After almost one year of tonnes of cardio, I decided to concentrate on strength training. I am so glad I did - It was as if I had discovered the magical solution I was missing. Sometimes you need to experiment a bit to find out what works best...

I don't have the CTX series so I wouldn't be able to help you with that. But from what I've heard it has short but intense cardio sessions with hi/lo, kickboxing and step all included. So that could be the answer for you if you've been using Cathe's longer step workouts as your staple. What...
