    Trying to decide between WW and Atkins/SBD....HELP!

    Most people who haven’t bothered to read Dr Atkins book don’t realize that it is about clean eating. All you’ve really done is cut out processed foods such as pasta, bread and sugar, and nobody really needs those things in their diet anyway. Atkins gets his bad rap because the first two weeks...

    Cathe...please respond to the NYT article RE: Strength ...

    ARTICLE QUOTE “Studies show that even women who do what it takes to get stronger develop only two to four pounds of muscle after six months of progressive lifting. Given that one pound of muscle burns between 7 to 13 calories a day (as determined by studies that measured oxygen and blood flow...

    Did anyone see Dr.Phil today?

    That Dr Phil show was a rerun. They did a follow up show on that couple and he did a total about face. He really works on treating his wife well and they are doing much better. The husband said the light bulb went on for him when Dr. Phil’s wife said something along the lines that she likes...

    What is the deal with Hydroxycut and others...."

    RE: What is the deal with Hydroxycut and others.... I love the way they always follow these ads up with fine print that states, “To compliment your healthy diet and exercise regime,” or other such words. In reality those with a healthy diet and exercise regime wouldn’t need weight loss...

    CRUISES

    I got married on the Royal Caribbean cruise line. The ship was called the "Monarch of the Sea." Then we cruised to Mexico for our honeymoon. We had such a blast. The best part was the whole wedding and honeymoon cost me less then $5,000.00 and all I had to do was show up in a dress...

    The real thing

    I’m about to give up my age here but, when I was a kid it was the guy from “BJ and the Bear.” I don’t even remember his name right now but I what a stud I thought he was. I also had a thing for the “Dukes of Hazard” guys but now I see reruns on CMT and think they look kinda dorky. Somehow...

    How do I Stop Feeling Guilty?

    As a parent of 4 children, if I let myself feel guilty of every accident I was unable to prevent, I would never be able to get out of bed for the overwhelming guilt. When my oldest daughter was 2 (she’s 12 now) she tripped on the carpet and hit her face on a wooden chair that I was sitting...

    I came so close!

    I had a really hard time getting through this work out as well. Even now somedays I can and some I can't. Most of the time I quit, only to find out we are right at the end of the interval (I usually lose count) and if I had just pushed myself for 15 more seconds I could have made it through...

    Kickboxing workouts with reebok weighted gloves?

    I would love to have these weighted gloves. At this point I’m using 3lb wrist weights while doing KPC. You just have to make sure you don’t let your arm (while punching) extend all the way out till it yanks on the joints. You would want to pull the punch back in before full extension. I find...

    Need advice...bit of a downer so be forewarned

    It may help to actually write him a letter. You don’t even have to send it if you don’t want to, but in this way, you can get all your thoughts down on paper in a very clear and precise way. Not only does it help to avoid confrontation, should you decide to send it. But if you don’t send it...

    What can I expect with C+W on FitTv?

    I found Cathe on FitTv as well. What I would do was just carry on with whatever choreography she was doing (if it was a cardio work) or do a few extra reps (if we were lifting weights) during the commercial. In that way I would still get a full hour workout in. They are edited for commercial...

    Newbie Needs Help

    Hello Everyone. I was wondering if someone would be so kind as to post a list of what the initials mean for each of Cathe's workouts. For example I know PP = Push Pull and S&H = Slow and Heavy but some of the other's I'm a little un-sure of. I like to read reviews and results and am...

    Losing confidence and motivation

    I get that way too sometimes. I always tell myself I'm going to just go through the warm up and maybe 5 extra min and if I'm still dragging, I'll stop. About 90% of the time I end up finishing off the whole hour. Some days though, it's just not going to happen, and I don't spend not a minute...

    Too Old??

    I just wanted to add that it's very important that you start off at a level that will make you feel good about what you're doing. What I mean is, don't decide you're going to run for an hour straight and make yourself sick and miserable in the process. You will not be motivated to do it all...

    So muscle really doesn't burn that many more calories than fat....

    RE: So muscle really doesn't burn that many more calori... Hi All As my very first post I have chosen to reply to this one, so I will strive to make myself clear.. It seems to me that if fat burns 2 calories a day per pound, and muscle burns 6cals. per pound. That sounds to me (if I’m...
