    Doctor in trouble for calling patient obese

    Have to weigh in on this, since I think it gets right at that juncture between appropriate and PC gone awry. I think doctors should be free to tell us things that relate to health, even if these things happen to also be social issues around which there is discrimination. Obesity is one of...

    Cat problem/vent - way OT

    Good advice - as a last resort if nothing else works, you could always isolate him to a part of the house, so he is not crapping/peeing everywhere. I know that's sad to do, but if this really gets to you so much, you could start to resent him (I sometimes have these feelings when one of our cat...

    I'm back and I need advice ASAP!!! (long)

    Another idea (in addition to detailed documentation) if killing him with kindness is too much to take sometimes is to ignore him when he makes these comments in front of you. I get a feeling he's testing you, and has noticed that the comments bother you and is targeting you now because people...

    Down and Out in Fatland

    Lori, I've been wondering where you've been, haven't seen you post in awhile. Just reiterating what others have said, to not spend any time beating yourself up, it only makes you feel worse and puts you farther away from motivated (and for me, with my hand further into the bag of chips)...

    tell me your success stories using one of Cathe's fat loss rotations!

    I tried the 2005 January fat loss/New Year's Resolution rotation, and without even exceptional eating, I noticed a dramatic difference. BY week 2, my pants were all falling off me (and I reiterate, the eating wasn't completely clean. Not high calorie, but not clean). I was also doing great with...

    Your personal experience with cellulite

    Clare, I'm sorry to learn that you've been feeling depressed and are having trouble with a medication regimen that works. I'm also sorry to hear that its kept you from feeling up to working out. I wouldn't wish depression on my worse enemy, it can be the most confusing and difficult thing to...

    anyone from Mobile Alabama?

    JJ I am not familiar with areas of Mobile yet, but I think we are in west Mobile somewhere. We lived in Athens Georgia up until now, a pretty humid place. Please tell me Mobile isn't too much more humid than that!!!

    Your personal experience with cellulite

    So, lots of varied experiences. Hey, maybe your ability to alter the appearance of cellulite is just as inherited as the tendency toward cellulite itself? It sounds like cellulite is a tough nut to crack, which is what we've all known all along, but that consistent working out and eating right...

    Your personal experience with cellulite

    Calling all Catheites to tell me about your experience with cellulite and working out. While at the beach, my aunt was telling me she had talked to her doctor about what she could do to tone the sagging skin (under which there is a thin layer of fat) on her legs. He told her no exercise or diet...

    question about L&G exercises

    Cathe, There is an exercise in L&G where you are on the high step with 3 risers and you step off with one foot to the side, pulse, then come back up. Which leg is the working leg in this exercise (or are both?). Also, I have a question about the form of another exercise, when you are...

    help from Cathe and others - 3 months until 10 year HS reunion!!!

    YIKES!!!! I remember when Cathe posted this rotation. What a killer! But it is great advice, and I think I knew someday I'd have to face it! Has anyone else tried it? How long does it take the body to adjust to 4-5 days, one hour a day to something like this ?

    help from Cathe and others - 3 months until 10 year HS reunion!!!

    Hi Cathe and everyone! Have been working out to your videos for over a year and am pleased with the improvements I've seen. Also following (kind-of!) BFFM for nutrition. I have all of your videos except Slow and Heavy, Supersets and Push-Pull. Stats: 5'5", 145-148 pounds (would like to...

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

    I am not Cathe, and do hope she responds, but I noticed several points in this article that run counter to what I hear Cathe saying online and in her videos. YOu might be able to use these points to reassure your friends (and if anything I write seems wrong, someone correct me!) 1. First...

    Cathe cracks me up...

    My favorites are in StepFit when she calls everyone "tootsie pops"; also the part where everyone screams in agony and she says, "Hey, was that a sheep?". There's also some other video where she says "shuffle down the board - hey, that's a game isn't it?". Just totally random, but very humorous...

    Any takers for a Summer Shape Up Check-in?

    Jessica, The January rotation is AWESOME! And really works! I did it and was drinking lots of water also (that might have had something to do with it) and really noticed changes in my body. Its a toughie though. I did Imax 2 yesterday and made it through interval 8 without stopping it...

    Any takers for a Summer Shape Up Check-in?

    Morning ladies! Sorry for not checking in yesterday, I was at work for a long time. But I did manage to accomplish L&G last night (yes, I was supposed to do Bootcamp but my stomach hurt a bit and terminator climbers are tough enough on their own!). I haven't done L&G in a long time, but I LOVE...

    Any takers for a Summer Shape Up Check-in?

    I'll tell you how I made out - Great! It was my day off! Ha Ha! (Did MIS yesterday so I always have a day off after it). Eating was fairly good. I am also going to try to not eat after dinner - since I am in bed at around midnight, this will be after 8:00. I think if I could conquer that I'd be...
