Yay! Turns out I lost a pound this month. I'm so relieved. I blame Low Max. :P I did it twice this week. Even though I missed my goal, I'm glad I ended this month on a positive note. I'm just going to take it one pound at a time. That seems to work best for me.

Hello ladies. I noticed that Cathe's site says they use a 16"x44" step in the videos, but looking online all I've seen so far are 14"x40" steps. Do any of you use a 16"x44" step? Is a 14"x40" step big enough for everything Cathe has us doing on top of it? :)

A daily check-in sounds good. I didn't do well this month, either. I got majorly stressed out for at least two weeks there, and instead of losing 5 lbs, I think I gained a pound or two. :( Maybe checking in daily will help to keep me focused and to allieviate any stress that comes up.

Oh my goodness, so when (if) I lose the weight I need to lose (100+ pounds), my bra size might go down 2-3 cup sizes?!? :o I was thinking that maybe I would go down to a D cup. I'm a DD now. I can't imagine being a C or B cup. I don't even remember wearing a C, let alone a B, lol, though I must...

What? There's porn in GTA? My bf and I own one of those games, but evidently I haven't played it enough to find the porn. lol Honestly, I doubt that anyone who plays the game takes it seriously. I certainly don't. When you play a game like that, it's a totally separate world from the one...

LMAO! These are awesome.}(

Hi Charlotte. Are you going for hypertrophy? If so, you might need to rest your muscles more to allow them to grow. Then again, if you can see that you are getting bigger, then you are getting closer to your goal, right? :) Sometimes the scale isn't our friend. ;)

I definitely struggled after I left college with what direction to go in. I had a list of things that I was interested in, but I couldn't decide between them. It was like I was afraid to pursue one thing at the expense of something else. Also, I needed to support myself, so I had to take...

Hello everyone. :) My July goals: 1. Lose 5 lbs. (I lost 3 last month, and 4 the month before). 2. Add more ab/core work into my rotations. 2. Go for 4 days of cardio per week. Right now I'm averaging 3. Salt isn't really a big issue for me, but I know that after you guys go a month...

RE: You're rewinding going I'm not sure, but I think she says, "I'm having an OUTER body experience." lol ;) I've heard people say that before as a joke. :)

May I ask what happened in the Brenda thread? I think I read a post or two in that thread, but I thought it was just a thread in praise of Brenda. (?)

I really like Yoga Zone videos. They're an hour long, but you could just do 15-30 min. and feel great. There's a Conditioning and Stress Release tape and a Flexibility and Tone tape. There are also more advanced workouts.

Thank you guys so much!!! I am very encouraged. :) I tried Rhythmic Step yesterday after work. Fun! So right now my favorites are Low Max, C&W, and Rhythmic Step. Connie - I like your Yoda quote. :D And that's wonderful that you lost 80lbs! Amy - I don't use a step, I just do the...

I started exercising more this month using Cathe's workouts. At the beginning of the month I weighed 271 and now I weigh 268. Not a big difference, but I am so glad to be out of the 270's - I was there for so long. Plus, a woman came up to me before my dance class and asked me if I'm losing...

Who cares what other people think about step? All that matters is that it's there for the people who do like it, IMO. I don't really feel any need to make people who aren't into it realize the error of their ways. :+

Thanks for sharing this story. I'm definitely touched.

LOL!!!!

I'm sorry you got dumped by your cleaning lady. Did you try telling her how much you appreciate her and that you would like her to come back? It's worth a shot if you really loved the work she did.

I recently started trying out The Zone Diet and Zone Perfect Bars. I like the bars because I find that my energy level is nice and even after I have one. They are 40-30-30 (40% carb, 30% protein, 30% fat). The Zone site recommends having half a bar a half-hour before a workout and the other...

I'm not going on the road trip, but some of my favorite moves are: Hamstring Curl Grapvine (LoMax) - or anything with a hamstring curl Step Kick, Step Extension Sculpt 7 Hitchkick (love it!) Charleston Knee Smash, Side Kick Pony Down, Mambo Mambos are a little strange for me because I...
