- disappointed in that I had NO results. I'm on my third week of slow & heavy - I split the tapes up with four days of doing Slow & Heavy body part first (30 minutes) and then either Taebo or a Cathe step workout. The fifth day I did a full Slow & Heavy tape (2 body parts) with no cardio. I measure and weigh myself once a month and although I have lose a pound in that month, my measurements did not change at all - NOTHING, not even an 1/8 of an inch anywhere. I am getting really frustrated - looking at me, you can not tell that I even lift weights and I've been using them consistantly since last October (started with the Firm until I found Cathe). And I'm using 8, 10, and 15 - 20 pounds (not very often) - although some days I have to use five. Just depends. I am just sick of trying to lose weight and not having any luck. I probably would be firming up with the weights if I didn't have so much body fat to get rid of. I've been messing around with my calories and doing weight watchers - doing the caloric staggering is what finally made me lose a couple of pounds. It is just so slow going and now that I'm still not seeing inches going - it just makes it all so frustrating. I think I'll do one more week of Slow & Heavy since my new DVD's won't be here for awhile and then go back to my regular lifting - 2 to 2 1/2 hours a week. Sorry, just had to vent. If anyone has any suggestions, I would love to hear them. ;(
