Bummed out

[**Autumn Whisper]

I had checked my email address on file and it was correct but I never received an email for a new password. So when I logged in using my original name I requested a new password to be sent to my email several times but never received it.
So I created a new user name and password filled out the form typed in my email address and it would not allow me to create it with my email because that email was already in use. yeah by my original user name. I also checked my spam folder-nothing there. So I had to create a new email address.
Also bummed out because the the Nutrition site is going to cost money. So I will have to stick with sparkpeople.
I'm just feeling disappointed. I've been lurking here for years. This has been one of my favorite sites if not my most favorite at least since the ruining of the Cool Running site.
I don't deal well with change.

I feel the same way. I see very little incentive to switch from dailyplate for the nutrition stuff. I think this site is probably going to offer a pretty nice integrated solution, but I'm on a grad student stipend so I really have to pick where my $ goes and for $100/yr, I would rather invest it in more Cathe DVDs and just continue using dailyplate. I had this weird hope a while ago that since dailyplate partnered with livestrong that it could happen here, but alas. But I do understand that they need to bring in money for something that clearly cost a bit to invest into. The site looks like its well worth it so those of you who are paying for the membership, thanks for supporting Cathe dot com.

If one was to want to join the nutrition part of the website, where do you do that?

I was a little bummed to see the Nutrition part was going to cost money also.

Anybody who buys Cathe's Dvd's are supporting Cathe dot com.
Yes Cathe's dvds are high quality to be sure. But her workouts are about the most expensive on the market (with the exception of AOS-4 kettle bell workouts for $215.00 thanks i'll have to pass.)
ALso some of the older workouts from other people come down in price like Kari Andersons came down from $19.95 to $14.95. Cathe's never come down.

Hi! The same thing happened to me. I kept trying to get a new password e-mailed to me, but got nothing. I tried several times. I also sent the administrators a note. I ended up creating a new e-mail and user name. Oh, well, I'm on now!!! I guess these things take a while to "iron out". Its nice to be able to post again!! ~~Nancy J.~~

I understand, but I also think you get what you pay for. If Kari Anderson came down in price she may have a reason for it. As it is for any product some companies bank on selling volume and some prefer quality. I have bought some cheaper workouts, I do it a few times and then I get bored. I never get bored with Cathe even after several years.

I am willing to pay more money for her workouts than for anyone else. Same thing with the menu planner, it has features that the other programs like fitday (and for that one I actually paid for the desktop version) and sparkpeople don't have. The year long membership also gives discounts on her workout gear as well as 3 hours of free download on an iPod.

It costs a lot of money to develop these programs and I don't think the sale of her DVDs will cover this. The new forums and the workout planner are free and it is so way ahead of what everyone else offers us. I am just thrilled with what they have done.

Exactly! Carola! I agree!

This program is expensive and paying programmers and staff to build it really isn't cheap...
