Things I love: 1. Music - couldn't live without it. 2. Cathe's workouts - couldn't live without them. 3. Fresh clean sheets - love the way they feel on my skin. 4. Coffee in the morning. 5. Making someone smile and feel good. 6. Cuddling with my DH in front of the fire. 7. LIFE! I'll...

Anna, Good for you, girl! Hang in there and keep up the great work! I just love reading our messages. I always find myself smiling after reading your posts. Keep working out, taking care of you, and posting, Lynn

Hi. I'm not Cathe but I had never done step before I tried her either. I started with Step Heat, which took me a few times to learn, then went on to the Wedding Video. I now own all of her workouts, and am waiting for the new DVDs to show up in my mailbox. I'm somewhat of a klutz but have...

Christi, I'm not Cathe (obviously) but I lost 21 lbs with ww last year and am on maintenance. I told my leader during the first week that I exercised with cardio and heavy weights. She gave me the exercise slide ruler and told me to go ahead and add extra points for exercise. If I gained or...

I joined ww last year in March and lost 21 lbs. Have been on maintenance for 2 months and doing well with it. I think it's the safest, most realistic lifestyle change to lose weight/get healthier. At least it is for me. Give it a chance. After all, you have nothing to lose - but weight that...

Anna, I hear you!!! The worst part about it being so busy is that my work outs have suffered and it's depressing me terribly. I'm planning on getting up earlier than usual tomorrow to squeeze in a quick work out. I work 4 12hour days in ICU/CCU this week-ugh and then part-time for the vein...

Melissa, I, also, really enjoy Janis Safell. I am VERY VERY prejudiced towards Cathe, and very seldom find anything I like as well, but with Janis's videos I've learned good form and technique. She is fun and upbeat, with good music. I got her videos off the firm swap and have kept every one...

Friends or not, that was totally disrespectful of you and your things!!! I can attest to the fact that BFL is not for everyone. I did the whole 12 weeks back in 2001 and had some results, but it was too much to keep up with. I quit. Then in 2002 I joined ww and got all of Cathe's workouts...

Marcia, I'm not Cathe, but I had a right shoulder injury 2 years in a row. I had always worked out with weights and couldn't believe it when I injured myself lifting a patient. I took 2 months off from shoulder work each time. I HAD to, just to stop the pain and heal. I did go to physical...

I think you should listen to your body. There will probably be plenty of walking, swimming etc. you will be doing while there. I can tell you from forced time off for a week or so, I didn't have any problem getting back to my workouts, and I didn't notice any regression. Have a wonderful...

Anna, Just stick with it. I bought it when I first started Cathe and it was too involved for me, sold it on the swap, and then a few months later bought the DVD with it on it. It's one of my favorites now. And I am a big Klutz! Keep working at it and you'll have it down in no time. Lynn

Anna, Thanks for the reply. Yes, Endermologie stimulates the connective tissue and increases circulation, also stimulates the lymph system. It does not remove cellulite. I have had 2 treatments, and they say you should see results in 6-7 so I will let you know what results I see. We are...

Honeybunch, Sorry to reply so late, but I've been working and just got to check the site. When the Dr. did my spider veins I was all upset about not being able to work out. He made me wait 2 days and when I did start back I had to wear the stockings. But, it wasn't bad, and the spider veins...

Anna, I hope you don't mind me asking this, but you seem to be really up on all the cosmetic/skin/health stuff. I am a nurse and recently started working with a Physician in a vein clinic/medical spa. I just went last week to receive training in endermologie by LPG. Have you heard of it, and...

RE: slower I never liked step either, as I'm kinda clutzy and trying to get the choreography I felt I didn't get a good work out. But I love step with Cathe. Her moves are simpler but very intense, and I always sweat! You might try it and see what you think. I love her circuit tapes, oh...

The only calve weight work I do is in Pure Strength. My calves have always been big, whether I'm skinny or heavier. I think a lot of it is genetics and body build in general. I'm never afraid to work them, though, as I've gotten lots of compliments from men and women. I figure any muscle...

Lori, Thanks for the encouragement! So glad to hear that WW is working for you. I have been on maintenance and am at week 6 to be a life time member, but haven't been able to weigh in d/t work and flood. But, I'll get there! I am back on track today with eating. Bought plenty of fresh vegs...

RE: Hi Sherry! You are in my thoughts and prayers, also! This is a tough time waiting... Let us know how it goes, and how you are, and what you need! Lynn

Honeybunch, I want to wish you a happy birthday!! You are such an inspiration, and always so encouraging to everyone. May you have many more, and just keep getting stronger and stronger!!! Have fun with that cake, and those push-ups! Lynn WHOOOOOO WHOOOOOOO!!!!

Honeybunch, Thanks for recommending these. I'm going to get some tomorrow and give them a try. I can certainly use more energy. Lynn
