I joined in 1999. Have witnessed all kinds of drama and crazy here! But there are some truly amazing people on this site which is why I stay. :) Stebby

Thinking of you both, Cathe and Fitnessforfun. I'm very sorry to learn of the loss of both your fathers. Stebby

I did Spinning classes, all out, right up until 2 days before I had my daughter. I did Cathe weight training all the way through my pregnancy - lightened the weight a bit but didn't have to modify the intensity too much. I just listened to my body and did what it seemed to need. I had a...

Good luck, Cheryl! :D I am 52 and I know what you mean - things really do get harder when you hit 50-ish! I'm basically following Coach Calorie's suggestions (except I do Cathe rather than his recommended workouts) and I'm down about 5 lbs from when I started 18 days ago. It is slow but at...

That is a lot of weight for one month - if you try lose that amount so quickly, you're going to lose muscle and you won't look healthy; in fact, you may actually end up ill. You could also accidentally make your body think it's starving, and your weight loss could completely stop. 5 kg is...

Go for it! You'd be great at it. I taught group fitness for 23 years at someone's suggestion and never regretted a second of it. Stebby

Are these recorded anywhere, or were they live-only so if you missed them you can't see them? If they are available can someone please post a link? Thanks, Stebby

Hi - I am doing the Isagenix program and have done it several times since 2008. Although I am feeling a bit ambivalent about it these days (because the shakes are a processed food and I believe I should be sticking more to unprocessed foods) I've had great results from the program. The first...

I read Outlander and a few of the other books in the series several years ago ... the story never leaves you. Outstanding. Stebby

I am so sorry, Renee. Love and hugs to you and your family. You have a huge number of friends here who are keeping you in our hearts. Stebby

My absolute favourite is Isagenix. They have several flavours but I keep going back to Natural Dutch Chocolate. I am conflicted because I am kind of trying to stay away from processed foods, and protein powders are the ultimate processed food, but they are so convenient! Stebby

Wow, that is interesting. More and more, I have been rethinking my consumption of protein powders ... this is another nail in their coffin for me. Stebby

Ha ha, 9-year-old post gets resurrected! I still can't stand Denise Austin. Or Sharon Mann. I will probably see Sharon Mann this weekend at the canfitpro conference (she is there selling her company's music every year) - must check out the boobs. :D Stebby

Sounds as if you are talking about laxative pills, rather than a cleanse? Emptying your bowels isn't going to make the rest of your body healthier or negate the effects of eating poorly. I agree with NY25 -to "cleanse" your organs (i.e. make them work at their peak), just eat a healthy, well...

Thanks, Nathalie! I have seen that one on the shelves but never bought it. I will try it. Stebby

I think I'm going to pass on these as well. From the previews it looks as if Shaun T. is using basically the same old-school moves he was using in Insanity. Sure, they're effective, but been there, done that. I'm still working away on XTrain and waiting for the new series. :) Stebby

This is a bit painful, but I've gotten the best results cutting out processed sugar and high sugar fruits. No sweets or baked goods, and keep to just 2 servings of fruit daily - should be lower sugar fruits like berries or apples. Also, lots of non-starchy vegetables. No dairy, no alcohol...

I find that my calves tighten up, which causes foot pain for me (feels like the early stages of plantar fasciitis, which I had a couple of years ago). I stretch them really well to try to avoid foot pain but if it strikes, I substitute other moves like NY25. Stebby

Cindy, wow. I am 2 weeks from turning 52 and I wish I looked half as good as you looked at my age! Can't wait to see your 60th B'Day photos after 8 months of being back to Cathe! :D Stebby

Oh boy. Where do I start? Liver, cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, avocados, red peppers, tofu, veggie burgers, mango, stevia, all apples except Granny Smith, lima beans, spinach, sweet potatoes, squash, instant oatmeal, to name a few! However, I love beets, turnip, steamed kale, Brussels sprouts...
