FF: I have to hand it to you - it does look attractive, 3rd week looks tough for me. Thanks for the rotation and for posting early! Nothing like getting started early and I've been slacking lately! LOL:p

I just try to get reduced fat/reduced sodium versions or even use less than what the recipe calls for. cheat-cheat-cheat to save calories/fat!

Yes, you can freeze rice. I have frozen mashed potatoes, but wouldn't recommend baked potatoes. Tell him to microwave them from fresh! Can he push a button?:rolleyes: Also, I use the frozen veggies - think they are called "Steam Fresh". You microwave them right in the bag and they come out...

Cheryl, It's good that you are reaching out for help with feeling depressed/overwhelmed. It's better than keeping it all inside. I just thought I would respond and hope it might help. What I get out of your situation is 1) you have alot going on in your life...

Structured workouts!!! Challenges!!

Congrats on the 3 lb weight loss - that would make me smile too!! Everytime I start STS Meso 1 it's like..oh no here I go again! The first time I did Meso 1 I was careful on the weights because I wasn't sure. It is definitely ENDURANCE, especially with all those pushups. Each week you get a...

Hey, thanks for "resurrecting" my post!! That was on 11/25 so I was a little surprised to see a responses. Thankfully, right now I'm doing okay with weight. In February I took two vacations and one was a cruise. I had gotten down to 125 before that and then I gained 3 lbs! Now I'm at 126 so...

Funny - I was honestly just thinking this morning - I guess I'm never going to have a mid-section like Cathe! I've been working out for ten years with her, and yes, eating habits are hugely important. However, there is life..and it always seems to get in the way here and there. Not...

I love the variety - there's something for everyone - yoga, pilates, etc. I find the No Equipment one to be quite a challenge! Maybe its the length, but if you think you're in for an easier ab workout, guess again! That one kills!;) Lately, I've been neglecting these ab workouts (all good...

Thanks so much for the band info and item # from Collage! I'll order it right now.

Does anyone know of bands that are for sale elsewhere? I really want to replace a band that I broke, and to use them for Travel Fit and also for T-band and Y stretches. I just dont have a band that is useful for those exercises. (I end up doing those exercises with the band underneath my...

I enjoyed reading this thread - I think we all get a little burned out on healthy eating, but as mentioned, the key is to plan your food. It takes some time, but in the end you do enjoy the fruits of your labor and so does the family. I was going to add that shrimp with the stir-fry is always...

Step Blast is definitely my favorite fall-back because it is a fun workout, not too hard and good music. I just did Low Impact Circuit yesterday - one of the premixes and that is always a good workout too! You might want to buy the 4-day split series that way you're getting about a half hour...

I make my whey protein smoothie with 1 scoop of powder (chocolate) and 1/4 c to 1/2 c. vanilla yogurt, a splash of skim milk (maybe 1/4 c) and about 4 ice cubes. It's usually my breakfast.

In my opinion, I would take the break between 1&2 and just do Meso 2 until your vacation. That's exactly what I'm doing. I have two weeks of Meso 2 then going on a cruise for a week. I plan on picking up where I left off! (We'll see how that goes!). Just keep toning up and you'll be fine when...

Hi Pharoah, I have been using the whey protein in smoothies probably 3-4x/week - even when I'm not doing STS. Just one scoop (chocolate) is all I use with ice, milk (cow, soy,coconut) and some vanilla yogurt. It's awesome! I also throw in 1 tsp of creatine. Heck, I put in some ground...

I just finished week 4 of Meso 1 and found the last week to be the most challenging as far as not wanting to push myself on cardio days and starting to feel wiped out. You do what you think is best for you as far as how much weight to use. This is my 3rd time through all the Meso cycles...

I never would have thought . . . that I would be so in to fitness and health as I find myself today. I would never . . . hurt someone's feelings on purpose. I always . . . think about Cathe every day and be watchful of my diet/exercise! I hope to . . . have more patience with my 17 year...

Hi. I just started STS weights for the 3rd time, and just completed the 2nd week of Meso 1 tonight for those push ups! I have to tell you I am so much better at them than when I started. Just modify your push ups and do as many as you can, pause if you must, but persist! I was able to do...

Band replacement-for Travel Fit So, I broke my band during Travel Fit the other day..it was on its way out so this did it in! I have other bands but they either aren't long enough or are stretchy enough for my dvd workout:o Does anyone know if Cathe's current available bands will do the...
