I am only 8 1/2 weeks pregnant, and my clothes are tight already! I am so bummed! Is that normal? I have had quite a bit of nausea, I actually thought I might be losing weight, but obviously not! Is it bad to try to limit how much food you eat during pregnancy? And, if I'm listening to my...

Hi! I am going to tell my parents and in-laws that we're pregnant soon, but don't have any creative ideas. How did everyone else share the big news? Alison

Hello everyone, I just found out I am pregnant a few days ago. I'm totally excited, but of course, confused about weight lifting now! I completed my first round of STS before Christmas, and started another round 3 weeks ago. I would like to keep up with it, but use the weights I started...

I know this is totally none of my business, but I cannot help but wonder if Cathe got breast implants. Does anyone else notice this? She's so little everywhere else...

I'm sure this makes sense, but I don't get it yet. If I have the DVD, why would I download anything? What are you guys doing with these downloads? Thanks, Alison

Hi, just wondering if anyone has the Clean Eating Cookbook and what you think of it. % was thinking of buying it.... Thanks! Alison

Hi, I entered my 1 Rep Max info and clicked on STS in the Workout Manager yesterday and successfully printed out my first workout card. Today, I went to print out my next workout card and the screen is blank when I click on the STS tab. I've tried several times over the course of the day...

Cathe, Thanks for all your help and your awesome videos! I'm starting STS on Monday and can't wait! I just have one questions though.... I noticed that the One Rep max test list differentiates between Deadlifts and Stiff Legged deadlifts. I watched the YouTube video instructions you...

Hi, I was doing the one rep max tests listed in the back of the STS guide, and am confused about exercises # 504 (Sit and Stands) and #473 (One leg Sit and Stands). The video instructions in the Workout Manager for these two exercises look exactly the same, with one leg planted and the...

Hi, I see that both Dumbbell rows and Barbell rows are listed in the lifts you should test for 1 rep max in the back of the STS guide. But what the heck is one rep?? I checked both the instruction videos in the Workout Manager and she does 7 rows and then stands up and then does 7 more...

Hi everyone, You are all so knowledgeable, I thought I'd ask your opinions! My MIL is almost 60, pretty overweight (30-40 pounds over?), and has diabetes. She says cardio makes her blood sugar drop and then she has to eat something, so I suggested starting some light weight training. Do...

I'm supposed to take 2000 mg of fish oil, but I'm not sure what to take...What is the best type/brand of fish oil? Where do you get it? Thankyou!\ Alison

Standing rows-Cathe bends over 45 degrees and then rows 7 times before standing up again. So, what exactly does one rep consist of: bending, rowing 7, then standing=1 rep? Or, each row is 1 rep? Meaning, Cathe bends over, does 7 REPS and then stands up again? Barbell curls-21s: Here...

I just tested my 1rm for regular squats. I squatted 70 lbs 10 times with good form. The workout manager says my 1rm is 93 lbs. That sounds low to me... am I crazy? Alison

Ok, so I have most of Cathe's DVDs, however, I would like to know whether the following are good additions since I have most of her stuff already (I mean, are they redundant?): High Step Challenge (I have HSTA already)--is it different? Is the music good? Would you recommend? Hardcore...

Hi, I don't have kids yet, but my sister-in-law has had 4 kids, and she just turned 28. She told me she couldn't get rid of the excess skin (and probably a little fat?) from having kids and so she got a tummy tuck. Is that necessary? She gained 20lbs with the first, then 30 lbs, then 40...

that you might be finished filming? Everything seems to be going so quickly and so well. Do you have any more info on your timeline? Thanks so much, Alison

I know it's silly, but I've gotten so used to Cedie, Jai, Brenda and Lorraine. It seems weird to have more females now. Are some of the usuals not going to be in all the workouts, so that you needed to hire more females? STS definitely looks like you're taking it up a notch too! My...

Should I buy CardioKicks/circuit max, and the Rhythmic Step/Int Max/Max Intensity Cardio dvds? They are on this months rotations, but I'm a little hesitant since they're older dvds. Are they worth it? What about the Cardio Hits DVD (Power Max, Step Fit, Step Works) I will still...

I'm looking for a site that'll let me just buy and download the mp3's like itunes does, only I don't have an ipod! Napster, Rhapsody and Yahoo all require you to be a member and then you can purchase the tracks at a discounted price (whatever that is, they don't list it!). Does anyone have any...
