    Losing Weight While On The Pill

    Hi, everyone! :) So I have been taking the pill for about four years now (I'm twenty years old) for some mild lady problems and really horrible acne. I even took Acutane (a drug used to treat some cancers and very severe skin conditions) three times for six-month periods. It's only recommended...

    I've got terrible knee pains

    Hi, Cathe! These past two weeks, whenever I've been working out (with your DVDs or otherwise), I've been experiencing some painful discomfort around my kneecaps. They dont seem to bother me at all when I'm not working out, but the types of workouts which bother me are... all of them! I put...

    Forget Kettlebells --go for the "ghettobells"!

    Editted because, naturally, I would post the wrong link. :p The right one is up now. So if any of you are like me, you hate having to buy new weights, steps, mats, and other equipment. The benefits are fantastic, but it's costly! :( And sometimes that can keep you doing the same / similar...

    How to stop biting nails?

    Hello, ladies! I have been biting my nails for the past ten years, and I've regretted starting up the habit for the past nine. :p I have purchased some of that funny tasting nail polish and am also going to wear gloves around the house so I wont chew, too. But I've come to the...

    Mercurial's Official Get Healthy / Recovery Check-In Thread

    The Cathe Nation's Official Get Healthy / Recovery Check-In Thread Firstly, I want to say that I've changed the title of this thread from its original title (instead of "The Cathe Nation's" it was "Mercurial's). I know, I know, it's not usually good Internet manners to make changes after people...

    I think I might have an eating disorder.

    (Cautionary Warning: This post is probably kind of depressing and some people who love being fit and healthy might find it alarming. But I dont know who else to ask than Cathe.) Hi, Cathe! You have so many questions all the time, and I feel bad taking your time, but I honestly dont know who...

    Considering a purchase --can some Shock Cardio veterans help me decide?

    I'm trying to decide between: - Cardio Core Circuit - Circuit Blast - Step Moves I own: - 4 Day Split series - Butts and Guts - HiiT - Basic Step I talk a lot, so if you dont want to read all my text, my basic questions are: Which do you think is better? Why should I part with...

    April Goals

    Unfortunately, March more or less was a 31-day plateau. I saw a 1.5 pound loss this month, despite a very rigorous workout schedule and a very strict diet. But April is a new start, and I'm excited to see some well-earned results this month! Fitness and nutritional goals for April: 1) Lose...

    How did you prepare for STS?

    Hi! I dont own STS, but I'd love to one of these days. (But for now, I am a poor college student, and $300 is too steep for me. Maybe for Christmas, eh? Or more likely, next year's Christmas... :p ) Besides, as you'll learn, I'll definitely need time to work up to such a commitment anyway...

    What did you give up that helped you lose pounds?

    (This post has been slightly editted. The topic and intent remains the same, however.) Inspired by the Bye Diet Coke, I'm going to miss you thread. Also inspired by the fact that I work out for two hours each day (1 hour cardio, the second core exercises), the fact that I consume far less...

    Well, hey there, Collar Bones! I missed you!

    Today I did the Cardio Power Hour from the Boot Camp / Kickbox DVD from the 4-Day Split Series. I'd never done that premix before, so I'm really proud that I didnt have to modify a single move and felt it was a little less difficult than it normally is for me. In fact, I still had energy to run...

    Your opinions on the HiiT DVD?

    Hey Cathletes! :) I'm thinking about purchasing the HiiT DVD; if you own it (or heck, even if you dont!), I'd love for you to tell me your opinions on the programs? And do you think it lives up to its promise? Do you continue to feel a calorie burn all day --leading to a quicker weight loss /...
