    Need Advice Francine!!!!!

    Hi Lori. I do this all the time. When I try to lose weight, I always gain. If I am trying to lose, I get the munchies soo badly. It is almost like I am under stress to lose these pounds, so I eat. If I don't obsess over it I will lose. I wanted to lose about 8# for my wedding 10 years ago...

    sore ankles and knees when doing leg work.....

    I have a question for the educated crowd. I have been doing Cathe's Power Hour and MIS for about 4 months now, but can't seem to get the lower body thing right. I started out by using weights (only like 10# and then I went to 5#), but this made my knees ache so bad. So I have stopped using...

    I always liked the name Cyrus for a big male dog. We have a female black lab and her name is Nittany (my husband is a die hard Penn State fan). Kim

    Thyroid?? Wellbutrin??

    Melanie, thank you so much for responding to me. That makes me feel a whole lot better. I do have one more question though, I'm sorry if we are being redundant with this topic. Everything I have read about Wellbutrin is for depression. I have more anxiety than depression. Can I still take...

    bathing suit season...ugh!

    I'd bet if you took a good look at the other women on the beach wearing bikinis, you'd realize that you wouldn't look so bad in one after all. I too have a fear of wearing two piece, but would love to. After a recent visit to a local beach, I said to my husband, what in the hey am I worried...

    Slim Fast?????

    RE: Never say diet. I would think that if you are on the Slim Fast plan for an extended period of time and then go back to eating 5-6 meals a day, you are going to gain weight. If you replace two meals a day with a shake and then go back to eating solid food, I would think that you are going...

    I DID IT!!! 13.1 miles......

    I am so jealous. That is one of my goals...to run a 13.1 race. I will do it some day. I can totally relate to the high you feel. I ran a 10K last year in 55 minutes and I was so stoked for about a week. I felt great the entire race as well and I kept up step for step with my husband....I...

    Thyroid?? Wellbutrin??

    Melanie...are you saying that Wellbutrin can be taken indefinately? I am considering going on it, but if I can only take it for a year or two...forget it. I don't want to go through the withdrawal again. I only want to take it if I can stay on it indefinately. Thanks, Kim

    ? for Moms out there

    are you nursing? I have read numerous times that a nursing body will hold onto body fat. It is the bodies way of making sure that you don't starve yourself since your body needs fat to produce milk. I nursed all 4 of mine and this held true with me. I have also noticed that the more ab...

    Thyroid?? Wellbutrin??

    Hi Winter. I have not taken Wellbutrin, but have taken Paxil. I did not gain weight..in fact, I lost about 10 pounds on it. I went off of it about 6 months ago and have to tell you that the withdrawal from this stuff was worse than why I went on it. I felt just terrible. If you go on...

    Beginning runner needs advice- should I join a running group?

    Hi Jen. I am soooo jealous. I don't have a runner's club where I live and I would love to join one. I have never heard anything bad about joinning one...only good things....through Runner's World magazine. I am not sure how much a membership fee would run, but if you are not sure that you...

    Leaner Legs Static Lunges

    I have to agree. When I do the "lower end" static lunges and squats in Power Hour, I can say that I honestly dislike Cathe very much during these segments. I let out a huge moan when I am done because I can barely stand up straight. They are really hard, but definatly hit your legs really...

    Treadmill music etc.

    Hi Nancy. Do you get a Collage Video cataloge? They have a slew of music options in the back of it. I'm not sure if you can get to these on line or not....Collagevideo.com, but it may be worth a try. I personally can't run on a treadmill because I find it so boring. Great music would...

    Most challenging Cathe moves?

    I don't really have any challenging Cathe moves for cardio since I don't do alot of Cathe cardio. As far as strenght trainning, I have never done the inverted V pike (I don't have that tape, but I hear it is quite difficult), but I HATE the low end lunges and squats in Power Hour. When I am...

    Running-need motivation to keep up

    I rambled...I am sorry..... Hi Marcia. First, let me say that I am so envious of you...a half marathon. That is my goal in life...to run a 1/2 marathon. I did a 10K last year and thoroughly enjoyed it. I even won a medal for my age group...third place. I ran it in 55 minutes. Since then...

    Relora.....ever heard of it??????

    Hi Meredith. Thanks for responding. I have heard about SAMEe, but what I have read seems to be more directed towards depression. I need medication for anxiety. Relora isn't expensive at all. It is $17.99 (VitaminWorld brand) for 78 pills (60 + 18 free). The package says take 3 a day, but I...

    Relora.....ever heard of it??????

    Hi all. My friend/neighbor told me about a natual supplement for mild anxiety/depression called Relora. I have read up on it and it sounds pretty good. I went to VitaminWorld today and got me some of those pills. They also say that I could lose a few of my stress related pounds that I have...

    Athletic Watches

    Hi Maverick. I got my athletic watch at Wal-mart. It's not a brand name, but it only cost like $7. It is water-proof, has an alarm and a stop watch. I use mine when I go for my runs. It's great that it is water-proof because it doesn't get condensation in the lens. I use the alarm every...
