Hello all! I haven't been able to check the site for a week because my house flooded!! It has been very exhausting dealing with it all. But we have cleaned up most everything and are getting some what back to normal. I have had a hard time controlling my eating. Whether from stress, or just...

I can't speak for anyone else, but when I upped my cardio I lost the weight around my middle, as well as everywhere else, but my muscular arms and legs are still there - only you can see the muscle now. I bulk really easy and love weights. I did focus on cardio while losing weight and now have...

RE: Plateau Anna, I had worked out for a long time with heavy weights and lots of cardio. I started Cathe's videos a year ago this month. I got stronger, but didn't see any weight loss. I THOUGHT I ate pretty darn healthy. I started weight watchers in March of last year, and found out I was...

Barbie, I had only used Cathe's 2 kickboxing tapes. I got 3 of Janis Safell's kickboxing tapes off the firm swap and found the drills very good for technique. She starts slower and give details about form. Since practicing with these I've found my kicks are stronger and my form is much...

I'm so glad to hear others love MIC! I thought maybe I was strange because although it's tough, it's one of my favorites. I used to quit on the end "interval" part, but have forced myself to finish the whole thing for a couple of months now. I absolutely feel so strong and so powerful when I...

Hi! I used to do the firms and then got introduced to Cathe's videos. I started with the wedding video and it wasn't long before I moved on to all the rest. Power Hour is a fabulous workout! You may need to play with the amount of weight you use at first, and/or reps you finish. I don't...

RE: I do remember!!!! The only thing I can say for Jane is that she led me to Kathy Smith who led me to the Firm who led me to Cathe. Hallelujah! It took a while but hey, I'm glad I started with Jane, (and I did Jazzercise, too) otherwise I never would've found Cathe. I look back at those...

I told my DH that I DO NOT want any more jewelry for Christmas! Don't get me wrong, I love the stuff, but in 5 years of marriage I have received more jewelry than I had in all my previous years of life. I don't have enough days to wear it all, and as a nurse I don't wear too much to work...

Yes, ww does have a safe plan for breast-feeding moms. The reason I know is because I did it after my 2nd child was born (and she is now 18). I thought I was really heavy but only had about 12 lbs. to lose and succeeded very quickly. I quit before I finished the maintenance part. I was 20...

Lori, I'll try and make this short. I tried a high protein low carb diet and have always worked out, but couldn't hack the low carbs. I started weight watchers in March of this year and have lost 21 lbs. and now am on maintenance with 3 weeks to go to get my lifetime membership. I love...

I have a huge living room with tile floor and a rug. I always move my coffee table into the hall, and on step days I put my step on my rug. On kickbox days, or hi/lo I have to fold the rug up and move it. I line my weights up just so, and get a long mirror out so I can try an improve my form...

I'd love to be a performer, singer, song-writer. If they had an American Idol for my age, I'd be there, giving it my best. My second dream would be to be a professional body builder. If I had the time, the money, and now I'm probably too darn old! But it's fun to think about! Lynn

Anna, I love Christi Taylor, but I am still trying to master her choreography. I have Janis Saffell's kickboxing videos (3) from CIA and I absolutely love her enthusiasm and instructions. My teenage daughters even like her because she puts some cool "funk" into it. I used to do the firms but...

Honeybunch, With 4 teens we always expect the worse and hope for the best. It's always interesting! I have enjoyed reading these posts about everyone. I don't have any friends here where I live that are into fitness. This site really motivates me to keep at it when I need motivation. We are...

Hey ya'll, Had to reply to this post! The ICU I work in now has 15 people attending ww meetings because they wanted to know how I lost weight. Well, you should see our freezers at work. They are loaded with boxes of Skinny Cow fudge bars, and ice cream sandwiches. Have you tried the peanut...

I count CM as a cardio with some extra benefits from the weights. I don't really think of it as a strength workout. It is one of my favorites! I never tire of it. I LOVE the part where Cathe says "Okay, I'll leave out the monkey noises". I absolutely feel myself smiling out loud every time...

Anna, Hi! When I first started with Cathe I bought Body Max off another site which has a swap. I tried it and couldn't even do the steps so sold it to someone else. After several months I bought it again and I always do the whole thing now. Since there are days I cannot work out (after...

Hey, I think this is a great idea. I am 38, married for the 2nd and last time, an ICU/CCU RN. I have 4 teenagers at home, 2 boys 19 and 19, and 2 girls, 17 and 16. My DH is a nurse, also. I live in Texas. I've lost 21 lbs. this year thanks to ww and Cathe's work outs. I love the forum and...

Ditto to all these other posts. Cathe is the best in my book. She's inspired me and my body has changed so much, and I have always worked out. All I can say is try her and if you don't like her there are many people waiting for those tapes. I don't think you will be disappointed. Good luck...

Annette, My heart was pounding as I clicked my mouse to see what the horrible rumours concerning my idol "cathe" amounted to. I was horribly frightened of her falling from the pedestal I have her on. As I began to read I just started smiling and then laughing out loud. It was toooo funny...
