Dirt diva, your original reply hit me like a ton of bricks. Some new info some not so new. So inspiring for me I intend to print it out and follow similar guidelines. I am currently recovering from shoulder surgery, appalled at my lack of muscle (after 2 years of no heavy lifting if any at all)...

Well my surgery was eye opening. As usual, my eyes were bigger than my stomach kind of. This surgery really knocked me for a loop! It seems to be much worse than my knee surgery. I haven't even been able to go to work let alone "workout". My first pt appointment is today so I look forward to...

Ok so that answers my weight question. I assume I should be able to walk pretty much immediately. What about low impact cathe stuff (no weights obviously)?

I will be having shoulder surgery this Friday for a few small tears and fraying. Likely recovery time is 3 months. Afterwards I hope to finally get some strength back in my body since this has take a severe toll in my workout ability, particular weights. But I'll need to go slow. I was thinking...

Actually, everything completely fell apart for me. Work was a mess, I had various injuries/hypothyroid issues that are hopefully corrected now with my medication, then I had 4 months of no work bc I was let go, then surgery for ACL blah blah blah. I'm back at it again as much as I can be though...

Just had ACL reconstruction yesterday. I'm hoping I can start the new Rip'd with Hiit series mid February. Scared to death I'll put on alot of weight between now and then so I'm really going to watch my diet. I'll be doing upper body workouts and cardio as directed by PT (mostly biking with...

Justinef, any idea why Xtrain appears to be better for fat loss? The amount of cardio is the same if you follow the guidelines.

I'd like a comparison of these two programs by results. Which one gave you the best fat loss? Which one increased your muscle the most? Which one caused you to lose the most scale weight? TIA!

Does the LIS series have specific core workouts?

I'M debating which of these programs to do for 3 months. If weight loss is my main goal (also, flexibility, cardio endurance, and core strength) which would be better?

I'm slowly upping calories..so far hitting 1300 a day. I am tracking everything I eat with myfitnesspal and weigh or measure everything to be accurate. I never know when calculating calorie needs what option to choose. I'm very sedentary (desk job etc) but I do sts 3x week and turbofire of...

As anyone had success with adding more calories to their daily I take and finally getting results? I've had people tell me for years to eat more and I'm finally biting the bullet and will slowly increase my calories bc I'm not getting results with my usual super low intake

I work in a very young company where everyone is very fit ( it's a well known online supplement company) so it's rough bc they're all still in that stage of life where they just have to do so little and they see results. So no one understands my issues. Frustrating. Thanks so much for showing me...

Thank you everyone for all the encouragement! I feel so much better now! I will stick with it and keep positive :)

I've been doing the plan Cathe put together for me to do for my work's 12 week employee challenge. I'm on the third week now and so far have ZERO results. No weight change on the scale, no bodyfat lost, no inches lost. To say I'm disappointed would be an understatement. I'm working my butt off...

I feel human again! I think yesterday must have been my peak and now I'm over the worst of it! Actually worked a full 8 hrs today and did sts 2 (back and tris). It's wonderful to feel normal again. Thanks everyone for the support! I'm going to take it nice and slow with cardio for the rest of...

Made a doc appt for tomorrow to get a diagnosis and maybe some meds. I hate going to doctors esp when pretty sure there's nothing that can be done. But this has gone on long enough and I have only one week before my employee challenge officially begins

Mary, CCC is to me one of the hardest! For that matter, my cardio endurance has sunk so low most Cathie's are difficult for me. That's one of my goalst his year. To get my fitness level up that I can do any cathe video straight through with no rests and no modifications.due to no more pto I went...

Epoxy the only thing that works for me is Benedryl which I take nightly. I don't like to do that every night but I don't like having allergies either.

Fitover40, I get horrible knots in my shoulder blades too and use the microwaveable rice pad as well. If I ever win the lottery weekly massages will be happening for sure. I managed to do sts 1 despite a horrific headache. As soon as I was done my allergies kicked in too. Not sure what that's...
