I've been hit and miss with the Eat to Live program (Book with the same title by Dr. Joel Fuhrman), but keep coming back to it. I feel great when I'm doing it, lose weight with ease when otherwise it comes off ever so stubbornly, but I can't seem to stick with it. Someone with ETL experience...

I'm a little late in seeing this, so an early HAPPY NEW YEAR to you! I'm excited for the dvds! I've made up my January Rotation to be a Pre- rotation, then already have a Rotation lined up for when they arrive. Thanks for all your work! Oh, and (was going to say this...

I don't know why I was thinking about this while doing KPC this morning, but I was wondering if you've ever gained weight over the holidays with all the sugar and celebratory eating going on. (And pregnancies don't count! ;-) ) It seems to be such a hurdle for so many of us to keep our eating...

Oh Cathe! I think I'm the most excited to get this dvd just because it will be so different from all of your others!!! I just love how you've been incorporating more yoga into your stretches lately and end up adding on another stretch of yours at the end of the workouts just because it feels...

Oh yay! Pikes again!!!!:9 :9 :9

How long is the band Cathe uses in the new workouts? I've seen some on-line and they vary between 4 feet and 7 feet long (maybe even more).

>Focus on >that instead of that impossible standard we try to meet. And >by the way all those Hollywood moms have lipo!!:-) So true that the "standards" are fictitious too! I was watching that Pro-Active infomercial yesterday (well, it was on while I was doing other things :)) and...

It doesn't matter to me (well, within reason :-)) -- I'm still in my 3 month recovery period from surgery (pelvic floor repair) -- and can't do a lot of my beloved Cathe workouts until the end of October (glad to have Body Fusion & Basic Step though!) So I'm thinking I could use a few months of...

RE: Rhonda in Another big vote for flying Rhonda in for the video shoot -- I just love her energy!!! Shhhhh, don't tell ;-), but I "pretend" that I'm her 1/2 the time that I'm flying over the step. :-)

The only song I really didn't like was "Band of Gold" -- Love that Buttercup though! :-)

Happy to hear how (and what :-) ) you're doing Cathe! I just got on the forum to see what stage you are in with the new DVDs. Any idea if Rhonda will be joining you for the cardios again? I just love her enthusiasm!

What works best for me is to do Cathe cardio (step or kickboxing, well, I'm sure the hi/lo would be good too, but it's not my favorite) every other day (60 min.) then on the alternating days, include amongst the various strength-training methods ab work that is either from the Stability Ball or...

I really love the ETL plan -- I'm doing the 6 week plan (did it 2 weeks, lost 6 pounds, had a month hiatis, not by intent, just weak -- not far off -- mostly just ate more grains, but I stopped losing the weight, BUT was thrilled that at least I didn't gain back) and am now resuming for the...

Dr. David -- I don't know if you're still out there, but I just wanted to tell you that your posts on Eat To Live motivated me to try eating that way again. And after plateau-ing on my weight for several months (except for the quick weight loss when I stopped breastfeeding, which I doubt counts...

Hi Kelly -- Just wanted to add that YES, you described it perfectly -- that on many (maybe even most) women, the fat wants to hang on for dear life when you are nursing. Have you ever read any of Debra Waterhouse's books. She has a great one called "Outsmarting the Female Fat Cell after...

>Oooh, can I pick mine up before they leave California? (Just >kidding) This is exciting! I was going to write the same thing Donna! :-) Thanks for the update Cathe!

Thanks so much for all the information! First to answer your question -- my favorites of Cathe's heavier are the Pyramids (maybe because it's not always heavy) and the weight work on the CTX series. I like the PS and S&H, but seemed to be a lot hungrier and felt more exhausted throughout the...

Hi Dr. David -- Just wanted to add to the kickboxing recommendations that Cathe has a few workouts with hi/lo cardio done on the floor. I don't know if your wife can do high impact on the floor, but the hi/lo on Step, Jump, & Pump is really fun. The pre-mixes allow for hi/lo only or hi/lo with...

Abbe -- I second that! Thanks for sharing all the fun details! Such a wonderful things to look forward to (and motivation to keep my eating on track :9 .
