Thanks, Janis. About 3 years ago, I was laid off and had much time to devote to fitness and health. I joined a gym and took 1-3 classes daily and ate close to a vegetarian diet. I dropped 20 pounds in 6 months. Once I started working full-time, I did not have the time to devote to this...

Is she going to college? Instead of cash, you could get her an Amazon GC so she can shop for her dorm room. I did that for my niece, and also wrapped a copy of Randy Pausch's Last Lecture. I think all graduates should read it.

Thanks. I don't do any white stuff, but feel very lethargic if I don't do any carbs at all. Maybe I'll try again and stick with it for a while to get my body to adapt. I have been ravenous lately and am using water to try to curb the hunger.

Thanks for your candid reply. My mother told me that she had the same problem at my age, so I thought it was genetic as well. I can work out every day, eat well, and gain 2 pounds in a week. I think I may just put my scale in my closet and forget about it. It is SO hard not to get frustrated.

I use my Zumba DVDs in rotation with Cathe for a change of pace. There is much hip action in Zumba, and the dancing is not crazy difficult. Try a free class or rent the DVD at the library if you don't want to pay. The live class is the best one for me, and you will sweat.

Thank you! I just picked up a pair of Ryka Transitions for $48 shipped. :-)

I am 48 and my body seems to have completely changed pretty much overnight. I have to work twice as hard just to maintain and practically starve myself to drop weight. My perimenipausal symptoms seem to interfere with my health goals and I have seen my body change before my eyes. Any tips...

Thank you! It really helps to know I am not alone in this battle. I have gained 20 pounds in the last 2 years, so I have stepped up the workouts, and try not to miss a day. It is hard as I have more body aches, and I really love great food. I notice that I do not need half as much food as I...

I am 47 and have been dealing with perimenopause for a while - hot flashes, cravings, mood swings, etc. I have found vitamins and black cohosh to help, but cannot seem to get my body to respond to my workouts. I have tried everything I can think of. I change it up, do longer sets, try new...

Yes, I am definitely more fit now. I have also read that your skin thins as you age. In fact I can see my veins much more clearly now than when I was younger. Especially on the back of my hands - YUK!

Hi there, I am a 43 year old dedicated Cathe workout user, and have noticed some things as I am aging... Does anyone else have these issues? I notice after working out that the veins on my temples bulge, and stay that way for about an hour an a half after I've cooled down. I get nervous that I...
