Jillybean....I totally support your decision. I was once an anorexic as well. I never had a body image problem until then.....even though I looked like a skelton in those days, I look in the mirror everyday and compare myself to that time and think I am "fat", which I know I am not, but I...

After quite a while of doing weight trainning, I woke up this morning and finally, finally, finally, have a sore back from working it, especially the lats. Some of you may think I am totally off of my rocker getting excited about being sore, but I have never been able to target my back...never...

I am shocked at how many women I have heard about that have been diagnosed with MS. It is a big problem in my region...Central Pennsylvania. They are apparently doing some research to see if there is anything in our water (alot of people have well water) that could be the culprit. I have a...

I only use Cathe to cross train and I do my weight and strength workouts with her. I run 3 times a week. This is my primary cardio...an excellent fat burner and cardio conditioner. I started running because I wanted to get the most bang for my buck. I've been running for 2 years now and have...

I bet if you do research on just about any food, somewhere you will find an article or two that says it is bad for you. I am really surprised at what I've been reading in this post about soy. I thought soy was very good for you (not processed soy). The only thing that concerns me about soy...

Lets see....where do I start. I love chips and dip. I never have this in the house and if I do run into it at a party, I do not, repeat, do not, eat it. I can't stop once I have started. It gives me very bad breath as well. Also not attractive. Donuts...especially Dunkin' Donuts. I...

I am having the exact same problem. I am soooooo frustrated. I know it isn't menopause in my case either because I am only 33. I notice that my body does this every so many months...like 8. I think what happens is your body gets used to doing the same old stuff and stops responding. My...

I hear ya about eBay. I have gotten 5 of Cathe's tapes from there in the last month. I was bidding on a large club aerobic step and before I knew it, I had bid $55. I was so happy to see that someone outbid me. My husband would have killed me. It can be addicting. I am looking for a few...

I had family over today that I haven't seen since the summer and they noticed that I have been working out. They said that I look fit and strong. I was so excited (I kept my excitment to myself, of course), but it is so great when someone else notices you've been working your butt...

I have tried this in the past...it never works for me. I usually end up binge eating. I have been doing better in the past few weeks though. I have not been happy with the way my body has been fitting into my clothes so I said, that's it....get this under control now before it gets out of...

Thanks Wendy. I figured it was something like that.

Someone else posted this same question a while back also. I don't think there is any one exercise that will reduce the chest. Big breasts are nothing more than fat. If you lose some weight (not saying you need to), your breasts will go down as well. I also can be a bit chestie at times...

I see this on the posts from time to time. I'm fairly new to the Cathe forums and have no idea what this means and it is driving me crazy every time I see it because I have no idea. I feel like I am missing something here. I saw a post a while ago about someone who was having trouble gaining...

Hi Briee. I don't have Cathe's LBP, but I have done stability ball work at a gym with a friend a few times. It doesn't "look" like it would be hard, but OMG. When I took the classes, my whole body was like jello. I think the ball gets to all of those "little" muscles that weights don't...

I have also read what Donna said about TTOTM.....burning more calories. I read it in either Redbook or Runner's World. I also get very tired right before my period. I don't allow myself to take days off...because for me, a few days off would lead to a few more days off and so on. I just...

Hi Kali. I love celery with peanut butter. I actually just read that this is a great snack. I also love bananas with a little peanut butter and apples with some peanut butter as well....o-kay, I love peanut butter. I posted an idea a few days ago....rice cakes with chocolate on them. I...

On MIS, Cathe describes the movement as hugging a big, fat tree. Your arms are spread pretty wide. Don't let your elbows drop below your chest and when you bring the weight up over your head, leave about 6" between them. I never used to feel anything in my pec area either until I upped my...

Hi Annette -- I have Body Max also....not sure if I mentioned that above. I really like it. Cathe says that workout is more for indurance (sp?..my mind just went blank on that word...ever have that happen?), not so much strength and definition. It is great workout. You can do it all at...

I did MIS yesterday for the first time. I really liked it. I need to go heavier on the leg section. My chest is soooooooooooooo sore today. I went for a run this morning and did some ball work for the legs after. I am starting to feel sore on the lower half now. I usually have soreness on...

I sort of do what LuvCardio does...but with my summer clothes. I try a few summer things on periodically over the winter and see how they are fitting. If they fit the same or better than last summer, I think keep it up its working. If they are a little snug than last summer (as mine are...
