When I was pregnant, I asked my doctor about taking a protein shake. She said that there are some you can take...although she didn't give me any brands....but you really have to watch for the ingredients. For example, the one that I took in and showed her had like 75% of your RDA of vitamin A...

I woke up this morning to 3" inches of snow. It is still comming down. I am so sick of winter I could be sick. I should have known....my husband and I are running a race today and every year...except for one....it has snowed. Last year at the race, when we finished, we had ice forming on our...

I always worry about my knees. I don't have a knee problem, but I run and do high impact step aerobics and just recently started to do lower body work with Cathe's tapes. All of which are bad for the knees I would imagine. My question is this, when doing squats and lunges and the like, could...

Hi All. I was so glad to read this post with all its replys because I too have been gainning weight and working out like crazy. What MariBeth posted about glycogen stores seems to hold true for me. The more cardio I do, the more weight I gain, and its not "good" weight. My clothes fit...

Hi Nina. Welcome to Cathe. I'm not Cathe, obviously, but I would like to reply to your post. I have not done any FIRM tapes, but from what I have seen advertised, Cathe's tapes are more intense....all of you FIRM believers out there, please don't yell at me. Cathe has alot of...

RE: Need a beginner Running Program....VERY long Hi Angie. My first pair of running shoes I purchased were Nikes. They made my big toe black and blue. When I went back to get a new pair, the guy at Finish Line said that Nike runs a tad on the small side, so if you are a perfect 8 1/2...as I...

I have heard the same about the diet soda and it triggering your insulin. Richard Simmons once said that he dropped 15# just from cutting out diet Coke. Kim

Wrist bands for sea sickness may not be a good idea..... I have heard of and know someone personally who got very sick after taking these off. I went on a cruise for my honeymoon and got very sea sick and I was advised by more than one person not to use them because you will get terribly ill...

RE: Need a beginner Running Program....VERY long Hi R Lam. I have been running for about 2 years now. I will agree with you that it is a great fat blaster. When I started running, I saw results almost weekly....not saying that you will see the same results. I had been an advid walker...

I did Power Hour for the first time yesterday. OMG!!!!! It was soooooooo tough. I have never swore at a video like I did this one. I was on the verge of hating Cathe. If she made me do one more of those darn lunges where you only come up half way....I cannot think of what she calls...

Hi MaryAnn. Thanks for the information. I will pass it onto my neighbor. She is also on prednisone and she hates it. Her doctor told her she only needed to be on it for 6 weeks. I hope this stays true. She will be so upset if she has to stay on it longer. I'm glad to hear that your...

Hi Angela....love that name....that is the name of my youngest. Thanks for your response. I will forward that website to my neighbor. Anything is worth a try at this point. She is so discouraged. She reads about one diet and then she reads something completely different. I'll let you...

That image brought tears to my eyes...very funny.

Your thong description is hysterical!!!!! It is very awkward until you get used to it.

OMG. I can't quit giggling about that description.

I don't, but one of my closest friends does. She just got out of the hospital after an 11 day stay because she had such a bad "episode". She is having a terrible time figuring out what she can eat. She read eat very clean, avoid dairy and starches. Her doctor says the exact opposite. She...

Hi Sara.....love the name, that is my oldest daughters name.....I have not ran a marathon yet, I would love to some day though. I have a friend who has ran several. He told me if you can get through the trainning, you can run the marathon. He said the most important thing when trainning is...

I have to apologize Nancy........ Hi Nancy...again. I posted my first post before I read this one (it is further down on the page). I was kind of hard on you for saying that you were quitting exercise. I am sorry and glad to see that you thought things through. I have done some ball work...

RE: My sad story.......LONG Hi Nancy. You know as well as anyone else on this forum that giving up exercise completely is a terrible idea. Do you really want to end up like you mom's friend just to have a slim physique? That is quite a sacrifice to be skinny again, your health as an older...

I was just reading the posts about disliking your purple and green step or pink or lilac or whatever color you seem to have (there seems to be many different combinations). A few of you mentioned about loving to buy a new step like Cathe's. Well, if any of you have a moment of weakness and get...
