    Total body weights vs STS

    Wow, it sounds like everyone out there is having the same back and forth--should I or shouldn't I talk with themselves about these new DVDs as I have! I pre-ordered. I am sort of mad about it only because I KNOW that I haven't had time to keep up with my current routine! But I know that weight...

    Step Blast vs Rhythmic Step

    These are my two favorites! I would agree with everyone else that you can't go wrong with either one. It was harder to catch on to Rhythmic step--so there was a learning curve. With Step Blast, you can jump right in with the moves. Best wishes!!!

    Anybody out there ever have to have breast surgery

    Curious if anybody out there had any breast surgery of any kind and how soon after your procedure did you resume your workouts. Please talk about the nature of your surgery and how soon you started exercising. I think breast lifts differ from augmentations and also differ from reductions, but I...

    Resuming workout routine after hiatus

    I had surgery and was told that I could resume working out after 6 weeks (the standard time frame I think most doctor's give, don't you). But I went for a walk during week 4 and feel like I could probably handle a low step workout, but I don't want to disobey my doc. I have two more weeks to go...

    Eat right for your type

    I am curious if anyone out there has read this book or subscribed to this method of eating. I bought the book years ago and dismissed it because I am a rare blood type (AB positive) and I like green bell peppers and bananas, two specific foods that were noted as foods I should avoid. I just...

    Is this going to do it? Please advise!

    I am not much of a rotation person myself. I, unfortunately, tend to attempt the rotations that are posted and my schedule ends up interfering so I try to follow the general rule that has been mentioned on this forum which is intense cardio at least twice (in my mix of cardio just about 6 days...

    I'm so depressed and need inspiration!

    I think all of the advice that has been posted is wonderful! I hope you are encouraged and not too depressed after hearing all of this. All I can add is that I don't have children, but worked on and finished my disseration back in 1999. I always likened it to giving birth to a baby because you...

    I'm an old Firm Workout Junkie, If I convert where do I...

    Hey workout123... I'd say start with any workout you find intriguing, but I think I would say don't start with IMAX3 or anything super intense that would discourage you completely. Cathe's workouts are very encouraging, but you don't want to think you can put her tapes in and do the entire...

    I think I'm obsessed with Cathe!

    I have to add my two cents. When I first found a Cathe workout tape it was via another forum. Someone mentioned that they could get a good step workout from Cathe Friedrich. I looked her up and found Step Works. Bought it and it kicked my butt!!!! It was a few tries before I could even do it all...

    Butts n' Guts

    I am in the same category in terms of being butt challenged, fitjulie, and that is not typically the case for women of my hue. I have what I call in the privacy of my own thoughts a "scoop booty" and I am sure this workout will help to give me curves in the right places. So word to the wise to...

    Boob Lift

    Just wondering about this boob lift notion just by doing upper body workouts. I just purchased PUB, but I must say I have been doing upper body workouts for quite a while (have used Cathe's circuit and total body training workouts for a year now). I was always told that boobs are a gland and you...

    Breast reduction

    Wow!! I have been inspired. I have made another appointment for a consultation. This means I have one on the 17th and one on the 21st!I think this is the way to go for me. How do you recommend checking with my insurance? Just call and ask whether it would be covered?? Isn't there a way that the...

    Breast reduction

    I am a 34 DD so, it is time for a change! Thanks so much for your replies. I have been working out for years and doing Cathe's workouts for just over a year and I have lost NOTHING in my chest. I was always told it is a gland and won't diminish unless you breast feed, in some cases, and just...

    Breast reduction

    Thanks so much for your reply. I am concerned because I am 38, unmarried and want to have children and breast feed and I understand the surgery will eliminated this option. I have been trying to wait it out in hopes that I will shrink a bit after nursing if I should ever be blessed with such an...

    Am I too perfectionistic?

    This thread is hilarious!!!!!!!!!!! As an unmarried, I can only imagine your frustration, but had to laugh aloud at the last post becuase I would have thought that most DH's would have simply figured you would NEVER KNOW whether they vaccumed under the fridge and simply skipped it so, I don't...

    Breast reduction

    Just wondering if anyone out there has had a breast reduction. If so, can you offer some insights into what your experience was like, whether you would do it again, did you lose feeling, etc. I am a double dang (DD) and I only weight 140lbs at 5ft 6in. and size 8 pant. I don't think I look...

    Good Eating June 7

    Forever "anchored": Leisa Just wondering what you guys do to stay motivated. I have not been "off the couch" for more than 4 days now. YIKES. And I know that I can't keep this up or I will never maintain!!!!! But keeping up the workouts on a regular basis becomes a daunting task at times...
