    Kudos to Cathe and SNM (Nancy)!!

    Cathe and SNM (Nancy), Thanks so much for all the hard work you're doing. I've moved recently and just realized I never updated you with my new address. I emailed Nancy last night about it and by early this morning she had contacted UPS and had my new workouts re-routed to my correct...

    Can't Lose My Love Handles!!

    Hi Kim! I'm intrigued by Cathe's answer as well. I've had four pregnancies and have three children (one miscarriage). My stomach is fairly flat (maybe a bit on the lower area) but still have love handles. I'm 5'2" and weight between 115-120 all the time and wear a size 4. I've always had...

    transfirmer vs cathe?

    Hello. I too have most of Cathe's workouts but like variety so I use Turbo Jams, Firms, WHFNs... I was skeptical about the Transfirmer series but really like it. The Transfirmer is great and, as stated earlier, you can always find a way to make a workout harder. Even with the WHFNs I add...

    Antidepressants and Sex Drive

    Janice, Another thought. I took my paxil in the p.m. instead of the a.m. and that way I slept off a lot of my sleepy side affects. It absolutely doesn't work for some people but did for me and might be worth a try. Blessings, Cheri

    Antidepressants and Sex Drive

    Hi Janice! I have GAD and am on Paxil. It now has a generic so is less expensive as well. I've been told it can have sexual side effects as well as it is an SSRI but I haven't noticed any. When I took Zoloft I thought I'd loose my mind. These medications are hard to get dosing right with...

    Any advanced exercisers ordering the new ones?

    I preordered as well. I'm always a bit perplexed about DVDs not being hard enough. I can usually make any workout what I need it to be. Besides, I love Basic Step/Body Fusion and use it almost monthly for TTOM, coming back from illness, etc. Cheri

    New Cathe user and have some questions

    Hi Jen! I started with Cathe after 1 1/2 years with the Firm as well. I had to do the same thing with my weights and I actually gained strength and definition! You won't loose anything and you'll love the challenge. Welcome aboard!! Cheri

    Natural Birth Control method

    I also used natural family planning and it worked beautifly-and got me in touch with my cycles so I could get pregnant. I know people with irregular cycles who've had success with this too, but my cycles are very regular and this did help. Cheri

    Help me with my breakfast eating rut

    Ooh, great ideas. And yes, earlyexerciser, Kashi Go Lean is great stuff! I'll have to try the pancakes as well-I bet my kids would eat them. I give them sweets so infrequently that they think prunes and raisins are a sweet treat, lol! Thanks again guys!! Cheri

    Where did you go for you honeymoon?

    Another Disney vacation person. My parents were willing to let DH and I use their time share and this was the only place warm we could find in November. We got married 6 months after our engagement and I promise every time share in every island was booked. We did have fun at Disney World...

    Help me with my breakfast eating rut

    All I eat lately is Kashi Go Lean Crunch cereal or some other high protein cereal with skim milk. I'm not a morning person so don't like to spend a lot of time cooking. What are some of your favorite, quick breakfasts? Nutritious, of course!;) TIA, Cheri

    I envy you who have hot summers

    > >Oh well, at least I don't freeze in the winter. I live in the North Georgia mountains-an hour plus from Atlanta. Hot 90 summers and yes it can get really cold in the winter. I love the heat but envy your winter! I do not like cold-esp. two years ago when it was below zero. I think God...

    Basic Step and Body Fusion

    Hi Michele! I've been exercising for 12 years and I still like BS/BF-the addons are great for me when time is short. I think Cathe uses the tubing and 3 pound weights. I use much heavier and you can too as you build strength. If you're new to strength training, start there-if not, use a...

    HSTA or High Step Challenge?

    I didn't like HSTA at all but I don't like endless leg presses. I love HSC because it has great music, more lower body variety/less leg presses, flows better and is just so much fun.

    Whats on your Cathe wishlist?

    CTX and Pure Strength-that's about all I don't have except the classics which I don't want. But I do love Powermax.

    Muscle Endurance vs Muscle Strength Workouts

    Thanks Clare! All I used prior to Cathe was the FIRM and of course plateaued. I do have the Gymstyles and yes-it seems that Cathe lifts heavy in both Muscle Max and Gymstyles. My problem is that I don't seem to be able to lift as heavy when she slows down the count-it fatigues my muscles...
