You need to lift weights. Stebby

On LinkedIn her profile description says "Formerly Editor In Chief at Oxygen Magazine/Robert Kennedy Publishing" with no current position listed. It says she was there from March 2003 to February 2013. Stebby

It's not above STS, it's just different. They are both terrific workouts. STS is meant to be a multi-month commitment whereas Gym Styles can be used in a more ad-hoc fashion or for shorter rotations. I like variety so although I loved STS, I need to be in the right mindset to make the long...

Ha ha, great timing! I have been doing the Gym Styles all week (did GS Legs twice during the week!!) and was thinking how much I love those workouts. I am nice and sore today. Would love to have more like them! Stebby

For the sweet tooth (something I struggle with), how about some fruit? You can make a warm dessert by coring an apple, filling the hole with raisins, covering it with cinnamon and microwaving (covered) until the apple is soft. If you don't want warm, maybe have a bowl of orange sections with...

Happy Birthday, Caitlin! No more crazy neighbor problems, I hope! Stebby

I'm 5'4", 51 years old, in fat loss mode (currently size 10-12, aiming to get back to my 6-8's). I do Karate 3-4X per week, Spinning 2X per week, full body weights 2-3X per week and I go for a half-hour walk most days at work. I am eating 1800-2000 calories per day, relatively high protein, no...

Hi Renee ... I think those two are spammers. :) Didn't make sense to me either. Stebby

When I am trying to lose weight (as I'm doing now) I cut out alcohol, period. I figure that your liver is already working hard at detoxifying your body when you're losing weight, and if you drink alcohol you're giving your liver extra work. Candiceena is right - your skin gets better (I notice...

I would do two full-body weight workouts and one cardio, something like the following: Friday: Muscle Max Saturday: One of the IMax's (pick your favourite) Sunday: Power Hour Stebby

I should add that right now I am in weight loss mode! I went a bit extremely nuts for the whole month of December and ate about 3500 calories per day (yep, I tracked it all). I used our March skiing vacation to kick off my weight loss and at this point I'm about 7 lbs down. I'm also in heavy...

For weight loss - about 1800 calories per day. For maintenance - not much more, probably about 2000 calories per day and a bit less cardio. For both weight loss and maintenance I do the same weight training - 2-3 full body weight workouts per week. My menus vary but I try to stay around...

I don't have braces, but I am amazed at the age of this thread!! Stebby

Hey, ladies, just a warning that it doesn't get better. I have been a Cathe addict since 1998 and I continue to buy everything she makes. Once an addict, always an addict, I think! :) Stebby

I'm not a medical or health professional but what I've observed in myself is that when I get better nutrition from my food (juicing, eating more fruits/vegetables in general as well as fish, lean meats and nuts), I don't need nearly as many calories to be satisfied, making weight loss much...

Hi Candiceena, One piece of advice that is being put out there by more and more nutritionists & doctors, and which I agree with completely, is "add, don't subtract". What that means is, rather than focusing on what you can't have and feeling deprived, focus on adding good things into your...

I gave up caffeine the day after Easter 2010. I had been having a large size coffee shop coffee every morning for years, and had started having panic attacks, racing heart and digestion problems. Cutting out the caffeine (cold turkey) got rid of those problems. I had that morning fog for a...

Hi warchild2005 - before I start a gym workout, I do about 10 minutes on the elliptical or treadmill, but it could be any machine that gets me feeling warm. The specific machine doesn't really matter in my opinion, as there isn't a machine that prepares you for a weight workout better than...

Hi Candiceena, I will preface this by saying that everyone is different, and different body types react differently. I need to lift heavy, especially for my lower body. Any time I've stopped or lightened up for a couple of months, my legs and butt get fat, and I get pear-shaped (bigger on...

Sorry I missed it, Natasha! I hope you had the happiest of birthdays, and I wish you many, many more! I bet you haven't even hit your prime yet! Stebby
