CalorieAssasin (I like that). I've never seen this website before. Can you tell me a little about it? I notice she has several e-books. I just bought Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle by Tom Venuto about a month ago and was just wondering about hers. I like BFFM a lot, and am guessing what she...

Great replies, thank you so much ladies. It is hard for me to know exactly, I've been working out for so many years now. I don't remember what I looked like before! I think what I am going to do it cut out heavy weight work for the legs and do tapes with higher reps and alternative moves like...

Someone posted a great old thread about bulking in the legs, and I was wondering about the general feeling as to whether step bulks or slims the legs. Obviously this will differ from person to person, but I was wondering if most people limit Cathe step due to bulking? I've found with a HR...

Thanks for the tip! I will check out the mish mosh!

Thanks! I feel kind of honored - my first answer from Cathe! Would high impact aerobics a la Cathe work too instead of running? I hate running (probably only because I have no good convenient place to do it). Are most of your leg workouts considered endurance (like LL, L&G, etc. ). I've been...

Hi Cathe and others: I, like many others here, want toned muscular legs, but heavy weight work bulks them. I know leg drills and floor work will circumvent this somewhat, but others have advised lowering the weight you use. Here's what I want to know. My legs can handle pretty heavy...

RE: Lots of varied advice here. TO play or not to play the game? It is important for you to give him "space" because he's asked for it, but in echo of A-Jock's comments, YOU decide how long that will be. How long are you going to be comfortable in limbo? I work with women in an outpatient...

Hi everyone! I have recently rescued my sister from the Firm by gifting her on her birthday with Body Fusion and the Basic Step DVD. She is hooked (of course) and wondering how to move up. She saw me doing MIC one day during Christmas and was frightened! Since I started Cathe with MIC and...

The thing I like about this book more than any other (including BFL) is the depth and specificity. He talks about EVERYTHING. In fact, its almost more like a textbook - I've been reading it for about an hour everyday for a week and a half and am still reading it. And am planning to reread it as...

LOL!!! :-) ;-) :)

$60-90 a week just for me! YIKES!!! Great question, I've been wondering this myself! For those of you feeding 4 on $200, I'm envious!

Hi ladies! Just a quick check -in. Lori, get rid of that scale! It can become an obsession and you end up hating your workouts! I am LOVING Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle. Such detailed advice about clean eating, and I'm truly not hungry (sometimes I can't believe its time to eat again!)...

Mine will forever be from the first video I tried where I got addicted to Cathe. MIC. I had no idea about Cathe's intensity at the time, so when she goes up for airborne jumps, I could not believe it. Anyway, just when I'm thinking, 'forget this!' Cathe yells "Don't give up! Don't give up! - and...

Lori, I used to get in SO MUCH TROUBLE when having a sleepover! Expect your daughter to turn into an alien! Yesterday was my day off, so nothing workout wise to report yet. Eating is going well - anyone looking for a plan where they will not be hungry, try Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle. IT...

How wierd that this got posted! I just purchased it this past weekend too and I can definitely say it is well worth the effort! The goal-setting part in the beginning is great, as is the advice on eating. I ate like he advised yesterday and at times could not imagine eating my next meal cause I...

Hi everyone! Sounds like everyone is doing well, but we're all struggling with a little motivation. I'll go ahead and admit it, I am REALLY struggling with eating well. Working out is going fantastic, but it seems like no matter how much I think about my eating goals, I still sabotage...

Hi ladies! Its been awhile! I think I was depressing myself too much posting about how terrible I was doing, so I stepped away to remotivate myself. I've been doing fairly well keeping up with my rotation. Today is MIC, although my legs are already killing me from L&G last night. I'm...

A-Jock, Being a clinical psychologist, I can say that this theory is not given much attention. That's not to say that how your parents deal with multiple children (did they give more attention to your sister in reality, did your older sister teach you and your sibs, etc) does not have an...

Charlotte, I've always heard and read that if you're going to take in simple carbs, the best time to do it is the post-workout meal (I've actually read it can be good to do this!). The simple carbs cause an insulin spike, and insulin unlocks all the cells in your body (including muscle) so...

hi ladies - i'm still here, just not ehccking in as much because my life has taken over my fitness goals at the moment. I think I am finally broken of my urge to not care at all about diet and eat whatever the heck I want, and I am still accomplishing something workout-wise (but not as much as...
