    loose skin

    Hi, Deb, I would add one comment to this discussion- Skin can take a LONG time to shrink. The weight loss happens inside your body and the skin has to adjust, and it can happen very slowly. If you are considering surgery, you might wait a couple of years to decide. It can take that long to...

    Cathe - maybe you should get into iPod workouts!

    Yippee!! I thought it was such a great idea that I was going to market one myself if you weren't going to jump on it. Now the pressure is off me. ;) Just kidding! :D Amy

    Bless you, Cathe. I'm sorry- that has to be tough for you to be patient and pace yourself slowly, but I'm glad to hear that you are making progress. Take care of yourself. I wish you a speedy recovery! Amy

    A Cathe-style athlete in a half marathon?

    Thank you, Jennifer! What a motivating and encouraging note! I have my moments when I feel like a I am a kangaroo running a camel race, but this is pushing me to develop an endurance I've never had in my life. On Saturday during the 8 mile run, my house was right around the 5 mile mark I sure...

    How can I increase my fitness level using the treadmill...

    He defines level 1, 2, 3, and 4 for you. I think anyone can adjust it to his or her own difficulty level, but he really encourages you to reach down within yourself and give it all you've got for x amount of minutes before you "earn" your slower pace again. He has good running pace music...

    How can I increase my fitness level using the treadmill...

    I would suggest Cardio Coach. It is a downloadable treadmill coach and he coaches you through different kinds of treadmill runs, like intervals and hills. I like it. www.cardiocoach.com You can try it for free. Amy

    Advice for Pull-Up Goal

    Yes, that is what I was trying to say. I didn't have a set of number of sets using one grip and a set number using the other grip, I just made sure to do some of both as well as some wide and some narrow grip for building overall strength in all those muscles that are recruited in pull ups. Go...

    Advice for Pull-Up Goal

    I would suggest one to two times per week on a pull down. That is one exercise that isn't in any of the videos, so just add that to your home regimen of videos. Most lat bars have wide grip and close grip hand placement options, so you can vary those for building strength as well as vary your...

    Just got The TERMINATOR DVD

    My review of the Viper workout is... LOVED IT! I was not expecting any lower body parts from Muscle Endurance to be included, since the package mentioned upper body only, but there she was, making me do lunges and squats on a non-legs strength day. ;) I really LOVED how she mixed Cardio and...

    Advice for Pull-Up Goal

    Well, I could not do one a year ago and this afternoon I did 10. :D I could have done more but a friend was watching and I didn't want to be show-off-y. Here's what I did- I have a lat pull down machine and I would do 3 reps at my true maximum, rest 90 seconds, do 3 more at my true max, rest...

    A Cathe-style athlete in a half marathon?

    Thanks, everyone for your encouragement! :) I appreciate all of your input so much. I love this board! We had a little pow-wow with the girls who will be running this race. There is one ranked triathlete, then there is me- definitely fitness minded but with different goals, and then there...

    A Cathe-style athlete in a half marathon?

    Thanks, Amy! :) I appreciate your encouragement. I am used to feeling like I know what I am doing or else I have coaching (like Cathe). In this distance thing, I have no knowledge base and no coach, so.....what am I doing? ;) And also, is there any reason NOT to do it? Besides the fact that...

    A Cathe-style athlete in a half marathon?

    HI, Cathe, First of all, I have to thank you from the bottom of my heart! I have lost 10 more pounds since the Road trip and I am at my goal weight. I have matched your weights in all my videos and am moving on to a percentage heavier. I LOVE LOVE LOVE being strong and fit! Sniff, sniff...

    One more gift card question

    Oh, yea! That is what I was thinking you meant because of the reason given, but I just wasn't sure. Now, I just have to decide in the next 24 hours if I need to get yet another one. :) Pay it forward!

    One more gift card question

    Will the gift card apply to future pre-orders? Like if I have ALL of your workouts and will most certainly want/use more in the future, can I pay with a loaded up gift card? Thank you!! :) Amy
