    Where does everyone live???

    I'm in Wiltshire, England (mostly rural county where Stonehenge is located with an hour train trip to London's Paddington station)...not too many Cathe-ites around here! I came here via Sacramento and have lived here for about 5 years now! :)

    Has anyone traveled between London and the US lately?

    RE: Has anyone traveled between London and the US latel... lol - now I wear my white new balance sneakers when I workout to Cathe ...but when I go out on the town, I usually wear my euro-style sneakers.;) or sometimes black boots - just not in London b/c they kill my feet.

    Has anyone traveled between London and the US lately?

    RE: Has anyone traveled between London and the US latel... Funny to see another expat here! I've been here nearly 5 yrs - sort of permanently, I married a British man. We've talked about moving back, and probably will do that someday, and then move back here. Who knows:) I would miss the UK...

    sore muscles?

    I just have a quick question for everyone. I am 27 weeks pregnant and recently started incorporating weights/strength training back into my routine in addition to the cardio. My strength has diminished a little bit obviously because I went about 9 weeks without it. Strangely, however, since I...

    Has anyone traveled between London and the US lately?

    RE: Has anyone traveled between London and the US latel... Hello:) I would give yourself 4 hours at Heathrow to check in. I would also check out the rules for travel fromthe UK to the US - I think that they may be different for each leg of your journey. The expat forum posted this a few...

    Body fat % during pregnancy

    I don't know how this could be accurately measured because the body retains so much water while pregnant. I know that the usual body fat readings measure the percentage based on weight versus the resistance of water - something like that...I would suggest that you just not worry about it for...

    Just found out I'm pregnant

    Hello and congratulations:) Before I became pregnant, I was doing Christi Taylor and Cathe cardio workouts 4-5 times a week plus weights twice a week. So I may not have been as active as you are - but I'll give you an idea of what I've done (I am currently 26 weeks along). I stick with Cathe's...

    Anyone had their gallbladder removed?

    hi:) It will be alright! I was scared too about the surgery. I had the laparoscopic surgery about 8 years ago when I was 22. The diagnosis was missed for years because of my age...it will be a relief when they take it out. It took me about 4 days to feel comfortable afterwards. I stayed the...

    Pregnancy and losing weight . . .

    Sandra: That is the best advice I have ever read about weight gain - and I am only 2/3 through my pregnancy. My taste buds went out the window. I've been a vegetarian for years and I couldn't stand the look or thought of vegetables. I literally couldn't eat them. So, I survived by just doing...

    Post Pregnancy Workout

    this is a really good idea:) i think having 20 min segements would be helpful too so you could do a little bit at a time while you are taking care of baby in the background...that way you could pick a workout back up in between feeding and sleeping patterns.

    Moms-to-be Check-In week of 08/20/06

    hi Lori, I hope your cold goes away soon - they're no fun when you're pregnant! Glad your checkup appt went well. I have also put on a lot of weight...but it seems to be slowing down! I've gained 25 at 26 weeks. I try to eat a balanced diet and exercise now which should help. Just listen...

    PG without AF?

    I wasn't having periods for several months at a time too over 10 years - but it was due to a hormonal imbalance. When I wanted to have children, I went to the doctor about it and was diagnosed. I wasn't able to get pregnant without having a cycle and have never heard of anyone being able to get...

    Lose as much fat first?

    thanks for that clarification, Traci.:) I always wondered about that and was perhaps being overly conservative. I was relatively new to Cathe (about 6 months) before I got pregnant so not entirely familiar with what she thinks. I almost can't wait to do her workouts with greater intensity...

    Lose as much fat first?

    it looks like a great idea - and i'm sure i'll need ideas on how to lose fat/weight after i have my baby...but I am concerned that days 1-3 have weights in it all 3 days...isn't that possibly a bad idea? i always thought that you needed at least a day's rest in between weight work?

    Weight charts: small, medium and large frames?

    goodness, I don't even know where to begin. That would make me furious if someone at work made a comment like that! This guy is clearly a misogynist pig! People don't always fit into neat little categories when it comes to health or fitness. I am currently pregnant, but before this, I wore a...
