Kim, if your doctor feels this will help you, then give it a fair try and see if you feel better about dieting and working out, okay? People who are experiencing a true clinical depression need the meds, even if for a short time. It's a chemical imbalance, and you need the meds to balance...

Your pics are AWESOME!! Good for you!! Carol :-)

RE: My new lab He's beautiful!! And what a special birthday!! I wish you years and years of love and happiness with him!! Carol :-)

OMG ... you're kidding, right? They told you that???? What on earth is the physiological basis for that???? You don't build muscle (and hence "gain weight"!) in a one hour workout. I'm sure the personal trainers and other fitness experts on here will back me up on this one. Water weight...

I'm a recent Firm to Cathe convert, I'm 46, and I've lost 40 pounds since the end of April. I've been using Cathe since the end of July, and I'm in size 6. I'm close to 4. I don't know what you mean by "will it hurt", since any new workout will most likely leave you sore until you get used to...

My daughter will be 13 next month, and she did CTX Kickbox with me yesterday! Tomorrow we have planned for the two of us Pure Strength, Strong Legs & Abs. Isn't it great to workout with your daughter? I just love this!! Carol :-)

Hey, go for it, Donna! I hope your cholesterol check comes back with good numbers!! I haven't had mine checked in too long, and I'll be curious to see the ratio now that I've lost this weight. Hope the calcium works for you!! Carol :-)

Okay, I'm back with another "Carol" review of the next tape in the Body Blast series I just finished !!!!!!!!!!! All I can say is ... WHEW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cathe, you kicked my butt!! LOL!! I LOVE this workout !!!!!!!!!!!!!! It moves quickly, but not so quickly you can't keep up or...

Sometimes muscles twitch because of electrolyte imbalances, especially magnesium and calcium. Make sure you're eating lots of leafy green veggies, and if it continues, ask your doctor to have some blood drawn. A simple blood test will tell him/her if any of your electrolytes are off. Certain...

Well, I don't honestly know. Maybe you aren't eating enough? I ate less than that every day while in the active phase of WW, but I never woke up in the middle of the night hungry. You workout out a lot. Maybe you just need to eat more during the day? I'll be interested to see what advice...

Dang! I didn't even know we could buy that thing somewhere!! Now I have something else to buy!! YIPPEE!! LOL!! Carol :-)

If you're waking up hungry, I would try eating a light protein snack a couple of hours before you go to bed at night. Protein takes longer to digest, and will help you feel more full. This is one of tricks they teach us in WW. Hope this helps! By the way, don't eat in the middle of the...

Do you perhaps find strength training boring in general? Maybe it's just not your thing. I love strength training, and I tend to do more of it than cardio which is something I need to work on. Anyway, I love the Pyramids because going up in weight like that helps me push past what I thought I...

Hi, I'm not Cathe, but I just started a rotation using the Intensity and Body Blast series that I made up myself. This is it. I'm hoping it works for me!! Step, Jump & Pump - did on Thursday Pyramid Lower Body - did yesterday Kick, Punch & Crunch - Monday (I'm between 2 12 hour nights and...

Hi Lori, I've only done one of the Body Blast tapes so far, but when I need a few extra seconds to grab a weight, or a sip of water, or just breathe - LOL - I just pause the VCR. One of the reasons I love working out at home is you can do things like that to make the workout more adaptable to...

Angela I avoided the whole step craze in the clubs when it first came out because I'm a total klutz on the step! LOL! However ... after starting with the more difficult (although I didn't realize that at the time) step routines of Cathe's, and finding I COULD do them after a little practice, I...

Hi Marcia - I'm sorry I just now saw this thread. I worked last night and was only able to get online and on here for a few minutes, and I just woke up. Have to go back in tonight, but this is the formula I use to calculate AP's. I don't go by the slider or the calculator on the website...

Enjoy!!! It's so much more fun with the "real" step!! Carol :-)

Never knew that was there!! Thanks!! Carol :-)

Boot Camp was the first one I did when I got the Intensity series, and I LOVE it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Carol :-)
