That's so nice of you to say! I'm slightly embarrassed to admit that I have submitted my success story, and it was posted on the blog. It is the [incredibly long] one entitled 'The Journey from 'I Can't' to 'I Can't Wait' by Laurel L.' Here's a link: http://cathe.com/laurel-l-success-story...

During Meso 1, I pretty much alternated cardio days with the weight days as Cathe recommended. The only change I made was that I added a second day of leg work during the week. So, for example, on one of my cardio days, I would do a workout like BMax 2 Scrambled Eggs or Drill Max cardio and...

I don't mind you asking at all. :) I am 5'2" and started the program weighing 132 pounds. (I had lost ten pounds in the six weeks before starting STS trying to get in shape for STS). I now weigh 102....and feel great.

I just completed my first six month rotation of STS. The results have been beyond my wildest imagination. I've lost the following: weight: 30lbs hips: 6 inches waist: 4 inches chest: 3 inches I've gained the following....more strength and overall fitness than I could even...

Maybe I misunderstood what you meant by mass market then. I would think that EB is aiming whatever it does at egg eaters. I would think everybody has heard of eggs, so it isn't as if EB is trying to sell an entirely new product to the uninformed masses. Based on what I've seen, they are...

While I'm sure your sample is valid for who you've discussed this with, I don't think it can necessarily be applied to society as a whole. I think Cathe has and will lose some fans because of her work with Eggland's Best. But that doesn't necessarily mean I think she is aiming for a...

I don't think it matters whether they are a two or three day event. What I would like to see if they are that long, however, is options. I think a few guest speakers would be wonderful. I don't get the sense these lecture events would be mandatory, so if there is an option of a gathering room...

I've loved all mesocycles, but, for me, I would say meso 1 would be my favorite. I felt rushed and frustrated a couple of times doing the workouts in meso 1, but thought the leg workouts were the best I'd ever done. And I had great results with how I looked in my upper body as well AND I...

I'm doing the entire series with dumbbells. I'm on my second go-through of week 1 in Mesocycle 3 right now (doing the six month rotation), and I've not had any problems adapting the workouts to dumbbells only. It is my preferred method of lifting, and I've been working dumbbells only for a...

I think you can safely do strength training--lower body only--2 or 3 times a week. Just listen to your legs and if you feel excessive fatigue doing 3 days a week, take it back to 2 days a week. Regarding a rotation, I have had wonderful results doing one STS lower body workout once a week...

I say the most important thing is to listen to your body, and it sounds like that is exactly what you are doing. So kudos to you for that. I've been adding an additional leg workout each week to STS, and sometimes (like yesterday), I will do floor work (yesterday was pilates, but it included a...

Have you tried Alexander McCall Smith? He has a great series called the No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency that I absolutely love. It is set in Botswana (I love books that take me places), but I would describe these books as light-hearted, witty and poignant. I'm reading the sixth book in the...

I am not an expert in this matter by a long shot, but just wanted to toss this out there as another [probably remote] possibility. This could be because your body is releasing more cortisol (the stress hormone) when you do higher impact workouts. Obviously, higher impact workouts stress the...

I'm doing the six month rotation, so I did meso 1 twice. I had great results from it and really leaned down, especially in my lower body. But as I stated in another thread, I think alot of that had to do with cleaning up my diet. During the weeks I was doing meso 1, I lost about 10 pounds...

Not exactly. I've had to compress both Meso 1 and Meso 2 from 8 weeks into 7 weeks due to scheduled travel, so there have been days when I have done STS and cardio on the same day in order to get both full rotations of cardio and strength training in per week. But I've tried to keep that at a...

I'll officially be half way through tomorrow! I am truly loving this program, and the results I'm seeing from it. I'm also really happy I chose the six month rotation. It seems to be working really well for me as it gives me the time to play with my weights before moving on to the next week...

Regarding eating schedules, I find it best to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner. There are about five hours between meals (sometimes six). I'm always hungry for my next meal, but I do count my calories (even though I'm not currently trying to lose weight), and when I have my calories, I'm done...

The only DOMS I had during Meso 1 involved my legs. I didn't feel much in my upper body. Well, that's a different story in Meso 2!! That first Chest/Shoulder/Tricep workout I did six days ago is STILL with me. I was a little less sore after the Bicep/Back workout, but still felt it. And...

I have to agree with others that it really is about the diet. I just started week 1 of mesocycle 2 (I'm on the six month rotation), and I lost 14 pounds during the first mesocycle (and about three inches off both my hips and waist). But I know that has to do with me logging my calories every...

I'm finishing Meso 1 this week as well in my six month rotation. I will miss it too, but reading all the reviews for Meso 2 has me anxious to get started on that one. I hadn't planned on doing another STS rotation after this one until early 2010, but STS Cardio may change that. I plan on...
