    Protein shakes and other pregnancy diet questions

    You sound just like me Heather, I am also making my husband take me out to eat every night. Just the thought of the food cooking in the house makes me sick. I don't have a problem eating it, but I don't want to be near it during the cooking process. I am also craving anything that's salty...

    Protein shakes and other pregnancy diet questions

    I am wondering if it is still okay for me to drink Designer Protein shakes while pregnant. I'm also having big trouble wanting to eat anything. This is a common first trimester complaint, right? I'm loading up on Shredded Wheat and those plain rye crackers because that's the only thing I want...

    I'm pregnant with my first!

    Help me out I am having an incredibly hard time working out. This could be attributed to a few things since my life has changed dramatically in the past two weeks: moved 1000 miles to a very HOT climate, found out I'm pregnant, finished a Firm rotation with other cardio mixed in (I definitely...

    I'm pregnant with my first!

    Hi everyone, I apologize to those of you who have read this on VF, but I thought I'd tell everyone here, too. I'm about eight weeks pregnant with my first, and my husband and I are very excited. It comes at somewhat of an unplanned time (he starts law school in a week), but this is what both...

    calories, fat grams or protein

    Welcome Hi, I also found Cathe's tapes after trying the too easy aerobics at the gym. She's great, isn't she? I'm pretty sure that Cathe doesn't really discuss nutrition too much because each person is so different. She will probably recommend that you see a nutritionist for your...

    Cathe TV not working for me either:O(

    Why is it like this? I thought I would be able to watch the video in "real" time, but it moves very slowly - like slides almost. I can hear her perfectly, but I can't really see what she's doing. Does this mean my connection is slow. I'm on a modem, but I'm not sure what speed. Thanks. Emily

    Are arms like that possible with these videos?

    What kind of rotation did those of you with good results use? I am doing the Firm rotation now, but when that is finished, I would love to do a Cathe strength rotation. Thanks. Emily

    Anyone try Christi Taylor's...

    Hi Myra I really love this video. Christi has a very different style than Cathe, but it's just as great. Her choreography is more complex, in my opinion, as well as more dancy. She doesn't have as many power moves as Cathe, but I sweat just as much. Her workouts, including HH Hi/Lo are...

    Thinking of you, Mandy Lee!!

    Hi Mandy Lee I was wondering the other day if you had your baby yet. I think about you often when I workout because if you have so many little kids and can still find the time to workout and look great, so can I. Hope everything is going well with the baby! Take care. Emily

    SNM -- Where'd Cathe get The Outfit?

    Hi Viv I just went to the Hotskins website, and they have a sizing chart there that gives the measurements and heights for each size. Hope this helps. I sure would love to buy some, but all the new videos from everywhere have drained my bank account Emily

    I love to walk in the summertime, but...

    Thanks for all responses I appreciate everyone's input. It's too bad that we have to live in a world where we have to think about these things. I really am grateful for a husband who is so concerned about my safety. He's not overprotective or anything, he just loves me too much to let me do...

    I love to walk in the summertime, but...

    Hi Debra Great idea about finding people who want their dogs walked. I never thought of that. I'm sure there are plenty of elderly or too busy to walk the dog people out there who would love it if I would walk their dogs for FREE!!! I'll have to try it out. Thanks. Emily

    Julie, I bet if you pushed a broom or something and cleaned a little as you were running, they wouldn't mind at all Emily

    I love to walk in the summertime, but...

    Hi Julie I know, I wish we were neighbors, too. It's always better to have a buddy, but I don't have that either. The alarm thing is a great idea. The good thing about where I live is that it gets light out starting at 5 a.m. and by 5:45, it's pretty light. I don't like to walk in the dark...

    I love to walk in the summertime, but...

    I have a dilemma. My husband has gotten me very paranoid about walking by myself. Even though we live in a very safe town in a safe neighborhood, I cannot bring myself to go outside in the morning and walk. Before I was married (almost a year ago!!), I got up at least three mornings a week...

    help w/comparisons to Firm's Cardio Burn

    From what I've heard Maximum Cardio is more similar to Cardio Burn. They are both classified as Hare workouts by the Firm. Core Cardio 1 is more cardio with no weights. I haven't done Max Cardio or CC1, but that's what I've heard.

    New to cathe..first video on order

    Hi Wendy I am a fellow gym stepper, too, but when I moved to a different area with not so great classes, I discovered Cathe. I think you'll definitely be pleased with Step Works. I'm sure you'll have no problem with it since you're used to gym classes. It's fun and tough, but it's doable...
