Crunchy all natural peanut butter. ...but with a spoon directly from the jar. It's a portion problem. I know better, I just LUUUURRVVVE it too much.

The thing I like most about these is the innovative moves. She does things in these that I have never seen in her other workouts. Really hits my muscles differently, and that is so so good as y'all know.

I have started a new job as a nurse tech on a medicine unit at a hospital. I have noticed that the older overweight nurses really eagle-eye what I eat and make remarks about it. But the younger, thinner ones don't even notice or comment. Maybe it's because I'm older than them (one thing you...

Just do something about it, don't hold it all in. I have a friend who is a retired marriage & family therapist and is a wonderful, interesting person. She told me once that a large contingent of her clients were women (sometimes as a couple, sometimes not) that were unhappy because their...

It's really important to practice the whole thing, especially the cueing. That's critical. The cues have to be practically automatic before you go teach because you will be nervous. The other thing is make a "cheat sheet" with a big sharpie on a sheet of paper with abreviations/symbols that...

I just have to chime in that I find I need to exercise more as I age. Luckily, I enjoy it so it's not bad, but I am kind of blown away when I see people put in a little 45 min. workout and think that's gonna do it. It won't for me and I find for most of us over 40, it won't. I'm spending about...

Do it in gulps. First gulp is the premix that is the step portions only. Get that part down. Then do just the first half with the blasts. Then work on just the 2nd half. Then do the whole thing but take a break between 5 & 6 to get water and towel off. Before you know it, you're doing the whole...

Fun to read this thread. Here's what I do for exercise. I get up every morning Mon - Sat about 4:00 am and exercise for 1.5 - 2 hours. I do weights first on MTuW and Fri followed by cardio. I do a super cardio-only day on Th and Sat. On Sun, I only swim laps and I sleep in. On Mon, I do...

Hi Gayle, I am also an advanced exerciser on the WW plan like you, I use on-line only, and have an ED myself. I too had a perfect 3 months and then the eating episodes crept back in. One "lost" week, then 3 good, then last week I had 1 bad day. I also have a great life and have no obvious...

I have been an early morning workout person now for 6 years. I was very curious about whether I should eat first or not, so I did some research and basically I saw that it doesn't make a lot of difference. Your blood sugar does not drop super-low if you don't eat first unless you are diabetic...

I've tried a lot of others, and I have a few I use for spice, but nobody is close to Cathe. I think she spoils me for everything else. She is a great combination of challenging intensity, challenging choreography and professional production. Plus her personality that comes through is balanced -...

Weight Watchers and tons (I mean tons, usually 1 1/2 hours a day) of Cathe. Plus I teach yoga and swim laps twice a week. Basically, heavy exercise and very controlled eating is the only way I can be as slim as I want to be. I'm over 40 too though, so if you're younger you probably can get away...

You're 100% correct. And I'm a yoga teacher. I came in through the back door, however, I taught all the other group x for years & years and then got interested in yoga (mostly for the meditative/breathing/feel good aspect). I have never stopped doing my cardio and weights with Cathe and never...

It's still my favorite, and I preordered it way back when. It is a good cardio workout, I think because of 3 things - it's long, it has some little interval-time things built into it where you are propulsing many times as you learn the move, and the BPM is pretty fast. I can tell that it's...

You all are so smart about all this. You are right on about Weight Watchers, I love it and think of it as my coach. The tools to track my intake and learn the value of what I eat are great and keep me accountable. You have to use your head though, as an advanced exerciser in setting your goal...

It's like the crane pose in yoga -- where you balance your body onto your forearms while you are sort-of in a squatting position with the legs. It LOOKS hard but it's actually not. When I teach this move in yoga, I hear the newbies always chuckle or say "awww..." because they automatically...

I've heard this a million times and it's the truth...it's 90% diet. Sounds like you have a good routine, so turn your attention to your food intake.

Well, I hate the taste but I am drinking it for the isoflavones. I drink it fat-free, I'm sure the full fat version is divine but I won't go there, trying to maintain my "low-down" weight.

RE: THANK YOU EVERYONE! I steal outrageously from Cathe! Hee hee...and I can deduct the cost of the DVD's as a business expense and the cute workout clothes too! Love that. In all my years of doing this, though, not a single student has ever said "you know, this is a Cathe move". And I taught...

Yes, I do this too! But you know, when I am at my low-down weight, I wear more of my clothes, even the ones with uncomfortable waists because I feel so good about how I look! Finally figured this out because I am attempting to finally stabilize at that weight. It's working - slowly. Been at it 3...
