    How much weight is enough?

    I have 3, 5, 8, 10, 15, and 20 lb. free weights. I also have a pair of dumbells which you can add or subtract weights from. I have 2 barbells. One I load fairly heavy (40lbs) and one I load lighter (20lbs. or so) It makes it much easier to go from one exercise to another without having to...

    I need some encouraging words, PLEASE....

    I have 4 teenagers - 2 19 years old, 1 17 years old and 1 16 years old. We've had some of the same problems you are experiencing. It does get better!! Stay firm but loving. Don't let her wear you down. They try to tire you out so you let them just go do whatever. We found when ours got old...

    Desert Island Videos

    Could I cheat and take 3 DVDs? That way I can have more workouts? I'd take the Power Hour/MIS/Body Max, Crosstrain Xpress, and MIC/IMAX/RS. Can't live without 'em! Lynn

    What is beautiful?

    I agree with so much of what has been posted. I had an accident in Feb. and should have died, however, I'm still here! I'm thankful each day for being alive! One impact this event had on me was to nudge me to lose weight. I'd been "putting it off" for years. I worked out all the time, and...

    FAVOURITE MOVIE ?

    Steel Magnolias, Stepmom,Gone With the Wind, and Forrest Gump. There are so many great ones aren't there? I also love all the old musicals with Judy Garland, Doris Day, and Betty Grable. Lynn

    Try the FIRM or stick with Cathe

    I owned so many firms for years. When I tried cathe I quickly bought more and more of her workouts and sold all my firms, except one ab tape. I've never regretted it. I've lost weight and am so much more toned. Just my opinion. Lynn

    You ever worry You're Obsessed???

    I probably am somewhat obsessed too. I have a Dr. friend who is going to do a perclose treatment on a huge, ugly vein which runs from my left ankle all the way up my left quad. The ultrasound shows quite a bit of reflux of blood back down into my foot and ankle, and that foot swells more after...

    Mindy videos?

    RE: Great workouts! I tried Mindy's Extreme Intervals/Pump Party and though it was fun and easy to follow I never felt like I worked as hard as I do with Cathe. I'm one that feels I didn't have a good workout if I'm not dripping with sweat and feel like I just got my butt kicked!! I've been...

    Hockey Camp and Cathe

    Melanie, Thanks for this great story!!! I could picture it in my mind and I am so proud of you!!! I felt the same way recently when I worked out with my sister (who is a fitness guru, and very lean). We did an hour and half workout with her personal trainer and a class. I was scared I'd be...

    Self tanners revisited,what worked for you?

    I have used the Bain de Soleil brand with good results. It is inexpensive and is tinted so you can see where you have put it and haven't. My friends asked if I'd been to the tanning booth. I'm a redhead and very fair skinned normally.

    Cathe works! Thanks Cathe!

    Honeybunch, I worked the night shift for 13 weeks and found it was easier for me to get up in the afternoon at 4:30 to workout before work, than to get up at 4:30 am. I don't know exactly why. When I went back to days I had a hard time getting up at 4:30 am, but I am doing it. When I feel...

    Cathe works! Thanks Cathe!

    Cathe, I have recently lost 21 lbs. and started using your videos last fall. In the past I jogged, belonged to gyms did other videos which I won't name, etc. etc. I have never looked or felt better or stronger than I do today - thanks to your videos and the inspiration I've received from them...

    "You're Big"

    RE: Attn: Keta I agree with some of these posts that it doesn't really matter what other people say or think. It only REALLY matters what you feel and think. I have recently lost 18 lbs. through ww and Cathe's wonderful programs. I was very muscular before, but had fat too, so no one saw the...

    Cathe is really great!

    I have to agree with you all on this! I way a Firmie for 15 years. When I found cathe I got so hooked! I sold all my firms except for the ab tape and have never gone back. I love cathe's stuff because she really challenges you and makes you laugh even when you are cussing and crying! I...

    Tattoos

    Just a note from someone who got a tattoo in her 20s. Don't get it where it always shows if you have to worry about a professional image. First impressions do matter, believe me! Second, the CDC has a great new study out (their latest) on hepatitis C and contrary to what you hear, their...

    Late Night workouts

    Don't feel bad! I actually prefer working out in the evenings. I can't see that it has ever hurt me any. At least I am working out! I think you should do what you feel like. If you can sleep okay after working out then why not? Lynn
