    What's up with "The Firm"? Has e-mail address changed?

    You and me both ! I have also not had any success getting onto either the forum or the general website today. The url has been playing up for weeks and has been very slow indeed - it's possible there's a real problem now and they have to close down altogether temporarily. Even if you type in...

    Cross-trainer Express series

    DH wants to get me videos for Xmas ! Please could someone let me know how complex or otherwise the choreography is in the cardio sections on the CTX series and also how intense the cardio is on these workouts. I’m an advanced exerciser but want a variety of shorter, intense but simple cardio...

    Need recommendations for intense step tapes with simple steps

    Hi all ! Step is my new found love and I wondered which of Cathe’s step tapes I could start with? I’m an advanced exerciser and am especially fit aerobically but hate complex choreography. I love high-intensity step workouts (I’m a huge fan of Intense Moves) and don’t mind high impact. I’ve got...

    Floorwork at end of PS-SLA - thank you Cathe!

    Cathe, Just wanted to thank you so much for the wonderful floorwork and abs section in PS-SLA. I have been tacking this onto the end of intense cardio routines and you would not believe the results I'm getting. I'm a meso who bulks up really badly and within a very short space of time with...

    Could I be?????

    Feeling so low - so sorry everyone I’m so sorry about this girls but I’m feeling really down today about the whole thing. I just tested about half a week too early, twice (those tests are so expensive) - should have waited until AF is actually due this Saturday but couldn’t bear the wait. Of...

    Could I be?????

    "Mothers are wonderful" I called my mother last night to talk about it - she said just to wait and if the test was negative, to just keep trying, it's not the end of the world, I'm still very young, there's nothing wrong etc.. Aren't mothers great when you need to talk to them? :-) Well, mum...

    Inconsistent and often contradictory information

    Why is it that there now seems to be too much information out there about pregnancy, what you should/ shouldn't eat etc..? I went to see a mid-wife last week for a pre-conception check-up (which might in fact have been a pre-natal one - will find out next week !!) and have been eating lots of...

    Could I be?????

    It's still too early to test but I'm way past ovulation (by about a week) and AF is due next Saturday. For the first time ever, my breasts feel so tender I can barely touch them and I keep getting a really piercing pain in both my left and right ovaries - what's going on? It's too early to test...

    Where do I begin?

    Be encouraged In my experience and from what has worked for me, you will generally need to prioritise either weight loss or strength training, especially if time is short. In the beginning, I found that a cardio intensive intervals regime of up to 45 mins with about 15 mins of strength work 5...

    So much better

    Hi everyone, I posted a couple of weeks when I felt overwhelmed with everything. Well, things are much better now and learning to say "no" to people is liberating - and I feel no guilt whatsoever. DH and I are TTC at the moment and this month was our first proper try - lots of babydancing this...

    A question from the UK

    MasonK/Tracey Hi guys, Sorry for the delay in responding ! MasonK - I never go to a gym (we have a multigym and elliptical trainer as well as weights etc.. at home) so can't really advise about specific clubs for Kickboxing - but there are some large chains of gyms here in London notably...

    A question from the UK

    Also a UK-based Cathe fan Hi Tracey, You are not the only UK-based Cathe fan - I live in London and there's another girl who posts from Newcastle. Cathe's tapes are exceptionally good - I have her PS series, SH series (superb), Power Hour and Rhythmic Step - I'm not a step fan so haven't...

    Thank you all

    This is such a great board Well, I've been to amazon.com and read the scores of positive reviews about "Take Charge of your Fertility" and have ordered it ! It seems to confirm a lot of the reasons behind many of the observations I had made about my body over the years - and luckily I have been...

    Thank you all

    Just wanted to say thanks again to those who responded to my "overwhelmed" post and to Cathe and others who responded to my "vain pregnancy" post. DH and I will now be trying in earnest, having not really started trying seriously before now - however, I'm bewildered by all the calculations...

    Overwhelmed - sorry to whinge like this

    Thanks guys Thank you so much for the support - wasn't really looking for a solution just some emotional support really and you both really helped - I feel much better today simply for saying "no" - plus I'm a day late (and you can set a watch by me!) and may be pg ! We'll be ecstatic if I am...
