For what it's worth ... my hair (and body) was a mess after going through a divorce last year. My hair was falling out A LOT. My stylist was at a loss and recommended Biotin (it's a vitamin B complex I think). I've been taking it for a year. My hair is much better. Not sure if it was just the...

I remember hearing about those in '09. I'll check them out!

I'm starting STS again ... it's been a while! I used to have Cathe's weighted gloves - the 1 lb that had two .5 lb bags in each one. Looks like she no longer carries them. Anyone know where they are available? I found a 1 lb pair but I'd like to have the .5 lb option. I'm in meso 1 and that...

Thanks for the suggestions so far! I've been so focused on running shoes for years these lateral movements are throwing me a bit!

I don't think I've been active on these forums for like two years! After focusing on running (which destroyed my back) and yoga (love it but doesn't provide the intensity or keep me as fit as I'd like) it's back to Cathe! Yay!! After doing Boot Camp and Afterburn realized my shoes aren't...

I finished UY about two months ago and loved it. Then I bought Yoga Warrior 365 (another Udaya product) to use this summer as I get back into running. I love love love Rudy. I've struggled with the .... ummmm.... "hippiness" of a lot of instructors. I got used to Travis after a few weeks and...

I've never done much other than Cathe (I have now thrown in Ultimate Yogi because of back issues), but one thing that has annoyed me with other instructors (talking to you Jillian) is how they'll do the work for like 10 seconds then walk around. Makes me crazy.

Not much to add to the spot-on advice you've received! And as for the yoga - I started Ultimate Yogi because when I read about how aging affects your body (I'm 42) it seemed yoga would be the best way to deal with it. And have to say I agree with what you said about this forum. There are...

Thanks for all the suggestions. I love taking advantage of all the fresh food available in the summer! I live in Michigan and after the winter we had it was hard to keep the faith it would ever be warm again! We're going to make some smoothies today and my 14 year old will be doing some...

Picked 16 lbs of blueberries yesterday - we got a little carried away :) Some will go in the freezer but if you guys know of any recipes or links so sites that have blueberry recipes it would be greatly appreciated! Jen

Justine - I can't believe you did UY alongside STS and Xtrain! I thought an hour/day everyday for 108 days straight was a lot!!

You can find it at theultimateyogi.com It's a structured 108 day yoga program. As a former runner/weight lifted I wasn't so sure about just doing yoga but it was awesome. Most of the practices are power yoga with a few more gentle practices thrown in to give you a rest.

Thanks guys! I've completed STS twice but this was definitely intense. I did the program as it was intended - 108 straight (with those few days off because I have shoulder issues). My back and core are definitely strong - I can feel it under my relatively small muffin top :) Legs too. I was...

I just wanted to share that with Cathletes. I subscribe to the FB group but don't usually post. It took me 118 days to do the 108 day program but that's still pretty good. Every day - for that long - and I HATED yoga - I feel proud of the accomplishment. People on the FB group talk about all...

You've already gotten great insight from fellow Cathletes and I don't have much to add other than I'm sorry she's going through this. You're a good friend. In my opinion there are definitely psychological issues tied in with her eating. I went paleo/primal about 3 years ago and it works for...

After 18 years of marriage I think we're out of surprises ;) Hope surgery goes well

This is kind of off topic but this thread is cracking me up so I have to share a story amidst all these talk of large/small. There has been no mention of UNEQUAL!! :) I always knew one was bigger than the other - very common, yes. Well, after turning 42 and realizing I had back fat decided...

I bought a pair of Orthaheel sandals a couple years ago when Birkenstock ditched their spin-off line of cute sandals. I love them, although I will say they don't hold up like a Birk. The specialty show store down the road now carries Vionics and I actually plan on getting a pair tomorrow...

I am just so sick of all this "technology"!! The minute you get something it's already outdated. It has become impossible to keep up. But yes, she probably wouldn't be amused with a typewriter. Although I might find an old one to give to her as a joke before her real present. She does have...

Think she'd be excited if I bought her a typewriter?? Haha
