I've forgotten the addy of the on-line food/calorie counting site I used to use. I was wondering if anyone knows what I'm talking about. I think I heard about it here originally. It was free. Thanks so much. (and sorry for being vague here)

That's a kind of a dubious honor so maybe you won't own up to it if you are indeed the inventor of the dreaded low-end}( Just kidding. I'd never seen a low-end before so I was curious if you thought them up. Thanks! Jennifer

For those of you who can do the pikes on the ball in PUB, do you do them exactly like Cathe (with flat feet)? I've done the stability ball section only from PUB and am able to do the pikes if I keep my toes pointed with the top of my foot on the ball. I first tried it like Cathe, with my feet...

Hi Cathe. I'm a huge fan. I've lost 32 pounds since I started working out with you and I'm starting the Total Body Blast rotation today with my new DVDs. I noticed that in the Intensity Series, the abs aren't "traditional" (crunches, etc). Do you think that non-traditional abwork like...

I got my DVDs today and have previewed Bootcamp and I can't wait to do this workout. It looks like so much fun but also like it's going to kick my butt. I'm not sure what weights to use though. I noticed that Cathe uses 35# for lower body but a few times she adjusts that weight and it looks...

I need some new plates for my barbell and some new dumbbells but I'm not sure what weight to get. Currently my heaviest dumbbell is 12 pounds. For lat rows, I use the 12 pound dumbbells with a 5 pound ankle weight around my wrist and it's not heavy enough. So I was thinking about buying one...

Hi everyone. I've entered the modern age since I just bought a DVD player today. I'd been planning on buying the pyramid DVD but I got to thinking that maybe I need S&H more. What do you guys think? BTW, I have all of Cathe's weight tapes except for S&H. Do you think that S&H is 'essential?'

I've been agonizing over my decision about whether or not to buy the Intensity Series and I've decided that I'm definitely getting the pyramid DVD and the Bootcamp/Muscle Endurance DVD but I can't make up my mind about the IMax2/Cardio + Weights DVD. I already have Circuit Max. How does it...

I'm going to break down and buy a DVD player but I can't decide whether I want a DVD changer or a plain DVD player. I'm very cheap (and poor) and I do not spend money on electronics. For example, my "stereo" (if you can call it that) is a little boombox I bought in the early 90's with a CD...

Hi everyone. I'm literally eaten up with jealousy for all of you have the Intensity Series. I have very VERY itchy buying fingers right now but I have to hold off for at least another week. My VCR is probably on its last legs. The picture is pretty crappy and it goes blank sometimes for a...

I couldn't order during the pre-sale because I didn't have the cash last year (just a poor grad student) but the financial aid check just came in and I can afford a few tapes. But I've decided that I'm not going to get anything that I don't absolutely need. So how does Muscle Endurance differ...

I'm going to my sister's for Christmas and I don't think I'll be able to work out next week. I've worked out at least 5 times a week (usually 6) for the past six months. I got a little burned out about a month ago and only worked out three times during the week for one week. I'm really...

Well I finally broke down today and bought new clothes. Yesterday I discovered that I could pull my size 14 jeans off without even unbuttoning them so I figured it was time for some new jeans. If I lose a few more pounds, they will literally be falling off of me! So I went to the Gap and...

I am so close to my goals. I've already reached my first goal which was to be the weight I was in my mid-20's. Now according to the weight charts I am no longer overweight but I'd still like to lose about 10 pounds. I'd like to get rid of the fat on my thighs. Plus I'm now a size 8 and I'd...

Hi everyone! I am currently about 3 pounds from what I refer to as "goal #1", the size I was throughout my 20's (size 8). I could lose another ten pounds and be a size 6 or maybe even a 4. I'm really having a hard time keeping up my motivation. I feel like I was happy at this weight for 10...

Lately I've noticed that my legs are very tired. For example, this morning on my way to class I had to climb 3 flights of stairs and I was huffing and puffing because my legs felt like lead. I'm wondering if I'm doing too much standing leg work. My rotation last week was: Sunday: IMax Monday...

Okay I am so excited. I was a little depressed because I only lost one pound this week but to get my spirits up I tried on my only remaining thin dress and it fit!!! It's a size 8 which I haven't worn in 4 years. I moved a few years ago and stupidly gave away all of my thin clothes except for...

Is the World Trade Center on the cover of IMax? I've been looking at my copy for awhile thinking the building looked familiar and today it hit me that it looks just like the twin towers.

I'm one of those compulsive people who weigh themselves every day. Sometimes several times a day. Well for the last several days my weight has been varying a lot during the day. For example, I weighed 143 last night and woke up this morning weighed myself and was 140. I weighed myself during...

Today was my first time with IMax. What a killer workout! I was kinda disappointed in myself because I couldn't do every interval at the full level of intensity. I had to modify the pylo and power scissor intervals and just stood there watching during half of the 10th interval. But I guess...
