Wow, that's great! Now you can get Cathe's Get in Shape for your Wedding video and actually be getting in shape for your wedding! You have a great goal now. How did you meet your fiance? Congrats!!!!

I know 2 people who are/were on it. The one woman lost 20lbs in a month. But at our holiday dinner she could hardly eat a thing! No bread or desert. Not fun! My uncle was on it and also lost a bit. He could only have steak and a DRY (ugh) salad for dinner. Nothing else. He only does it when he...

1. Add healthy foods to my diet rather than worry about what I should NOT be eating. ex: I may eat Wendy's fast food for lunch. That's not great, so I'll eat a healthy meal for dinner and no junky snacks. Hopefully, this will be easier since I just had oral surgery and can't eat "real" food...

something to add... Sorry- I forgot to add that the only "proven" way to get rid of those fine lines is by using a retinoid, like Retin-A or renova. Unlike other creams/lotions, they can penetrate the skin. They can minimize their appearance by speeding up cell turnover. I don't mean to sound...

my dermatologists advice... There are soooo many choices out there- it's ridiculous! I recently read that all of these anti-aging "potions" don't really do anything because your skin can't absorb them. My mom is a nurse at a dermatologist's office and agrees. They usually recommend basic...

I'm a terrible eater! I'm 24 so I know my metabolism (and also my build) are helping me out a bit because I'm only about 5-8lbs heavier than I'd like to be. But I hate feeling so gross after eating junk! Last week, I had a cold so I didn't eat much. When I started eating my usual foods like...

mysportsbra.com I'm a 34C and like Champion's bras. As for a cheap sports bra, the only cheap ones I see offer little support. Whenever I try to buy one of these, I'm disappointed. You may have to spend around $30 for a good one. I look for sales at sporting goods stores and department stores...

I just wanted to get others opinions on what your fav exercises are for the following body parts... meaning the exercise that you think gives you the best results and that you also like. For example, for triceps, you may love to do tricep dips. 1. Legs (thighs) *I know legs/butt kind of are...

Do gyms in your area have trial memberships? Some gyms give you 2 free trial weeks. This could help you decide if it'd be worth it. You may find the classes aren't great, or it's too crowded, etc. Make sure to look at places with short memberships and no big initiation fees. YMCA's usually...

I was at Giant (supermarket) today and saw FIT magazine there. I was surprised since I thought it wasn't made any longer. Well, it seems to be back. I checked to see if it's the same magazine and noticed it still has video reviews and how people exercise on the last page. In the readers comments...

me too I'm glad to hear someone else just doesn't really like fruits & veggies! It seems like everyone else eats so many, and I barely eat one a day! So I don't have any tips. I can get veggies though veg soup since you don't taste the veggies that well. I put lots of butter (I know that's...

There's a similar post named Windsor Pilates- I think it's a page before the current list of topics. I ordered this set since I saw it on TV and got sucked in. It comes with 3 tapes- instructional, 20-min workout and advanced. The instructional video was helpful since it showed the basic moves...

I received these tapes from the infomercial. It includes 3 tapes: 1. intro tape- shows you the basic 7 moves. Helpful if you don't know the pilates moves and about your powerhouse. 2. 20-minute tape- not that tough. You go through the moves, but don't do many reps at all. I didn't feel like I...

Too little time... It's tough to fit everything in! I bought those Windsor pilates videos from the infomercial and I never have time to do them. They claim to tone your entire body...yeah right. For me, the pilates tapes weren't time effective. I could feel my abs working, but the video was too...

Thanks! Thanks for the info- I do have a #####'s and Walmart nearby. Those prices are pretty good. I think I'm going to get a Mindy Mylrea tape that uses a medicine ball so I can "practice" for Cathe's tapes. Can't wait! What weight do you guys use? Is 4lbs too light? I'm not as strong as Cathe!!

Lynne, I took about 3-4 weeks off from exercising because of a minor surgery. fyi - I'm 24 and in good shape. When I started back up, I started slowly (2-3 cardios a week). I did Cathe's All Step tape first and was pleasantly surprised to find that my HR got up there. I was kind of glad that I...

What chain stores carry medicine balls? I'd probably want a 4 or 6 lb one. I know Target has a 4lb one, but it was $29.99 and so I was thinking I might be able to find it cheaper elsewhere. Thanks!

I like that Cathe's instructors are fit looking, but not TOO fit looking (meaning they diet and workout like crazy, which really isn't fit at all!). If I'm not constantly looking at the instructors bodies, it's a good thing. For example, when I did Karen Voight's YogaSculpt, I kept looking at...

Lynn is right- this video is good for starters. But it has a lunge section at the end that can be tough. I remember that this was my 1st step tape when I was 17 and I had to stop throughout it and sit down. Now it's easy. But I still do it on occassion. You can add power to the moves to make it...

I've haven't had one, but my friend got one at a place specializing in them. She thought it'd be relaxing, but it wasn't. They weighed and measured her, wrapped her up (which made her feel sweaty, gross, and uncomfortable) and made her exercise for a little bit (no idea why- maybe to sweat off...
