I don't have any children, but I'm 5'5" and about 130-135 with a medium frame. I lost 80-85 lbs over the past 2 years. I also have excess skin (mine is from being so overweight), and that's where I have a big tendency to store fat. I have asked my doctor about how to get rid of it. Aside from...

Thanks a lot Kim. I haven't posted in the success stories, but maybe I will. I'm obviously quite prolific in writing about my scenario (looking back at the email). Plus, I'd love to share my stories with others in the same boat. Kate

Hi Kim, I'd be glad to tell you. Just as some background, this is the 3rd time I've lost a significant amount of weight. As background, I was never an overweight child, I started putting on weight when I hit puberty at age 12. I've been all different sizes over the years (I'm 31 now). I lost...

Hi, I'm also a "lurker" but I did email Cathe this question in the past. At the time, I was doing CTX Upper Body 3x/week, and Leaner Legs 3x/week. I also did 6 cardio sessions/week - A LOT, I know. Cathe said to try each tape 2x/week, and if not achieving the wanted results, bump it back up to...

I have to agree. Sometimes I'll do a Cathe video now, and think I'm not getting enough of a workout. Then I think back to when I started doing her tapes, and how I was usually on the floor after just 1 step segment. Just goes to show you how fit her tapes make you. I've incorporated a lot of her...

Hi Cathe, Looks like you're answering postings today fast and furiously, so I thought I would ask a question. I started using Power Hour 3x/week, along with 40 mins. of cardio/day, 5x/week. Recently, I switched to doing each of Leaner Legs and CTX Upper Body 3x/week (on alternating days)...

Excellent! Thanks so much! I think I'll be cutting down to 2x/week with my "longer" strength training" videos, and throw in the new cardio and weights video from the intensity series. Thanks again!

Hi All, I've decided to "go nuts" and have ordered the entire intensity series (obviously, frothing at the mouth for this one), AND the Slow and Heavy Series. Just received, and started doing CTX Upper Body and Leaner Legs about a month ago. Prior to that, I was doing Power Hour 3x/week...

Hi ellenellen, Thanks for the words of advice. One question, do you allow yourself "unlimited" amounts of fruits and veggies? Flex

Congratulations on quitting smoking. You should be very proud of yourself!!! As for the other stuff, it will come. I have struggled with my weight since I hit puberty at about age 12 (I'm 31 next month). I too enjoy eating, A LOT! I have learned that I can't maintain a rigid, disciplined...

Gotta get Power Hour. It's the best! Also, Step Fit - I'm with honeybunch!!!!

Hi bg, Thought I'd reply to this, as I myself lost 85 lbs. over the last year!!! I started out with "lighter" exercise (Kathy Smith tapes mostly) until I discovered Cathe. I haven't tried the wedding video, but I've heard nothing but rave reviews. I started with Rhythmic Step. It took me some...

Another Canadian lurker, this one is from our nation's capital. Love Cathe's videos. She's helped me drop 85 lbs!!!! I attribute a large proportion of my success to her. Thank goodness I "found" her workouts! Problem is, I only like doing her workouts now, nothing else seems difficult enough...
