What do you ladies think of this new book? I saw Taubes on Larry King Live on Friday night. Andrew Weil was on there also. Unfortunately it had been a long day for me and I was half asleep. Has anyone read Taubes' book and do you think he has a strong case? Anyone had success with his plan?

Okay it's a long story so I will try to be brief. I have MAJOR problems with anxiety. I am on Celexa but it barely helps any. My physician will not give me Xanax or anything similar. In fact I can't find a doctor willing to prescribe a benzodiazepine (sp?). So, a well-intentioned neighbor a...

Some of you might remember my post a few months back about my being laid off from my job, so I am starting over at 41. I started going to a vocational school for a medical assistant diploma. I thought healthcare would be a good field for several reasons. I am loving school, here is the problem...

SNM or Cathe, I love uncomplicated step workouts like Cardio & Weights and MIC, since I have 2 left feet. Can you tell me how complicated the step choreography is in the new Low Impact Circuit and Body Max 2? What other Cathe workout would it compare with? Thanks so much! Lisa

Well, after 22 years with the same company, I was just laid off along with 20 other people in August (corporate downsizing). That's bad news financially but I never enjoyed the job anyway. I am absolutely loving being home waiting for my son to get off the bus every afternoon. Unfortunately I...

Does anybody know if it's normal to stop having periods at 39? I suppose it is but just wanted to talk to someone else that stopped at my age. I know it's silly - I should be glad to not have to worry about periods but for some reason I feel sorta sad that that part of my life might be over...

Hello Cathe, I'm trying to decide what to preorder. Can you tell us if the step choreography in Low Impact Circuit is going to be complex or more simple choreography (such as Cardio & Weights and Step, Jump & Pump)? Thanks a million! Lisa

I love Cathe's lower body floorwork and need more! I have PS Legs and Pyramid LB already. I was thinking of buying either Legs and Glutes or Gym Style Legs for the floorwork mainly. I see on the website that the floorwork in L & G is 11 minutes. How long is the floorwork in Gymstyle Legs...

Does anyone know if you can be overweight and still have an eating disorder? I have an appointment with a psychiatrist on Thursday but am thinking about cancelling since I don't really think it possible to have an ED when I'm fat. I have gained alot of weight in just one year and it all...

Hello Barbara, Would you mind emailing me to discuss your experience with Paxil? I know you said it helped you significantly. Here's my email [email protected] I understand completely if you don't want to talk with a complete stranger. Thanks either way. Lisa

I'm trying to decide on what Hardcore DVD's to pre-order before the cut-off this weekend. Can you tell me if Muscle Max will have an upper body only premix? I'm assuming so, but would like to make sure. Thanks! Lisa

Hello Cathe, Just curious if the choreography in Low Max is complex or more moderate? Would you say it is more like the first Imax or Step Blast in regards to choreography? (I have all of your step workouts so perhaps you can compare it to another one for me). By the way, thank you so...

Has anyone here ever had a sinus problem which caused their equilibrium to be off for 4 or 5 weeks. I have the popping ears, pressure above the eyes, and light-headedness and my balance is off. I was given antibiotics and a strong decongestant and am drinking lots of water. I'm on the 5th day...

Has anyone done the weight watchers on-line program? Just curious if you felt like you were given enough info to understand the program and enough support? Could you ask questions if you needed? I would like to join and I would love to attend the meetings but with being away from home for...

I had an MRI 2 weeks ago and just got my results yesterday that I have a herniated disc. Anybody else here ever been diagnosed with a lumbar herniated disc? What kind of treatments did you have to help it? I am so hoping that I don't have to have surgery. I have tingling and numbness in my...

Has anyone here ever taken the supplement SAMe for anxiety and mild depression. I've had some minor health problems for several months which has caused me some mild depression, more than anything I'm just so grouchy/moody and emotional. I'm 38 and have started having small periods in between...

Hi ladies, I am taking Xanax for panic and anxiety (only take one .5 mg per day) but still my doctor wants me to switch to Lexapro because Xanax has a bad reputation for addiction etc. (Too bad since I absolutely love the Xanax). Anyway I would love to hear anyones stories if you take Xanax...

I'm so distraught that I don't even care at this point about being embarrassed. When I married my husband 12 years ago he told me that he had genital herpes. I thought, no big deal, he gets a sore on occasion and it goes away very soon. I had no idea on earth what I was in for. Now 12 years...

Hi everybody, I hope that one of the nurses here on the forum read this post, I would love to hear their opinion. I have been out of commission as far as exercising goes for one whole month now due to mild/moderate pain. I was diagnosed with PID. I started antibiotics yesterday...

I've been miserable with a UTI for 3 days now. My doctor says until I have taken the Macrobid 100 mg. for 4 days that there is nothing she will do or change with the prescription. I am wondering if this is normal for a UTI to take 4 days on medication until it relieves me. Anybody have...
