As usual I'm overwelmed. I have every single Cathe video and need to lose 30 lbs. I've let my fitness fall behind a bit so I need to build up again to the harder Cathe videos (i.e. Imaxes etc). I'm figuring a 6 month plan would do it. I was thinking something along these lines but would love it...

Hey guys...thank you so much for all the posts! I'm not sure what I'm going to do but I'm not going down without a fight that's for sure! I'm going to faithfully journal and stick with the cathe workouts and just take it one day at a time for now. Sometimes I swear my own body hates...

Sigh. I DO run.....in the evenings a few days a week. and yes, I've had to buy 2 higher sizes in the past year. From a 6-8 to an 8-10 and now a 10-12....believe me, its not compact muscle.

I'm about to lose, seriously. Since Dec 2004 I've steadily put on 10+. My workouts have remained 75% strong....I wavered for a bit but for the most part I've steadily worked out this whole time. I drifted away from Cathe for a while and am regretting that now and have renewed my dedication to...

what about the peole who do or don't eat their APs and flex? Does this affect the plan not working for them? I find the whole AP/Flex thing very confusing.

I'm looking to do WW and am wondering if anyone has NOT been successful on the program and why or why not?

can someone give me a rough idea of what the reps are in these workouts?

I'm thinking these TLT's would be a great compliment to my triathlon training I'll be starting on Mon. I need endurance type workouts only and was originally planning on using PH, CTX strength, SS/PP/L&g etc. My core could also definitely stand some work. Can someone tell me if these would fit...

oh no, I've been doing the videos for years now.....so I'm not just waiting til I start the WW to get started. just emailed with dh and I think we'll probably start after christams. We don't normally do anything special for new years so no real need to wait til then I guess. Just realized...

my next question is when to get started. I've got a huge party day on Fri both lunch and dinner. My husbadn comes back from the middle east on Sat and has all kinds of restaurant cravings to get out of his system, hten there's Christmas. It almost seems like I might as well wait until after...

my results are my own. I'm not trying to be like my friend or anyone else. I just need to lose 20 lbs. She thinks I won't be able to do it with the videos and should get in a gym instead. I'm convinced I can do it with the videos. Therefore, I'll do just videos for 3 months and hwile I might not...

Ooops guess I wasnt totally clear. My challenge is going to be to do just videos for 3 months and come up with some great results. Not to have her do any of the videos. She doesnt think I will have any results since i havent in the past, I think i will as long as I keep my eating in chekc.

I've been having an ongoing friendly debate with my friend. She is a runner and lifts weights at the gym and has never done a video in her life. I on the other hand, live for my videos and have 250+ of them. She's convinced I won't get good results from the videos since I havent in the past. I'm...

very interesting. thanks so much for the long reply! I'll definitely consider this for my new years resolution!!!

I totally get and agree with the eating plan. And I have no problem with the cardio actually. Its the weights I question. Maybe its from doing cathe's all this time where she does a gazillion different exercise per body part but it seems like doing just 1 exercise per body part, granted several...

has anyone gone from low calories (1200) for a long time and upped them WITHOUT gaining weight? the few times I have tried it I've put on weight. On the other hand, these low calories havent been working for me either and my bingeing is now out of control. I'm considering upping to 1400-1500...

I know this has been asked before but what would be a good rotation for running 3x and then 3 days of cathe videos to compliment the running? Getting leaner is the goal here

from what I understand, you need excess calories AND protein to build muscle. I've heard this from various trainers and I think even here its been discussed before. While we're on the topic we can discuss "toning" vs "building" muscle as well since I think this is somewhat bogus.

If you can't build muscle while in a calorie deficit (diet) whats the point in lifting weights while tryingto lose weight? wouldnt it make more sense to do strictly cardio while losing weight and THEN lifting weights to add muscle after?

My girlfriend also suggested to me that this is why I can't seem to lose weight cuz my body is always in anaerobic mode and rarely if ever in aerobic mode.
