Cathlete
Hi everyone! I've noticed a little bit of a negative trend on the forums lately so I thought some unbridled positivity was in order.:) So, I thought it would be fun to list 3 reasons why you love the Cathe Forums!
I'll go first:

1. Cathe. She so positive (notice a trend?), radiant, and fun. Plus her workouts are amazing and make me feel like a true athlete!

2. The knowledgeable and helpful people here. These people are always willing to give friendly advice!

3. When people post pics of their animals! Love that! :)

Have a great Friday everyone!!!! :*

1. Every morning, I check the forums while I drink my coffee. It is a great way to wake up!

2. It is good to meet other moms/parents in the same situation as mine. It makes me feel "normal" :)

3. There as some people/posts (for some reason Shelley comes to mind...) who have such a great sense of humor. Funny, funny, funny!!!
I love to laugh!

great thread carolyn!!

1)i love to hear everybody's point of view of workouts before making a purchase. it helps to hear thoughts along with the clips to make an informative decision

2)i learn something from everybody. diet/exercise/life in general. everybody's different life expierence helps opens my mind to whats out there and try new things

3)of course cathe!!for a privately run small business(compared to other companys like lions gates and all that whom also put out fitness vids)she is very down to earth with the customers,puts out a product fair superior,and is just different than others out there.

Great idea, Carolyn! I agree, there's been way too much drama lately -- lol!

1. Cathe is a class act all the way! I admit I often swear at her (only during cardio;) ), but I love her just the same.

2. I have made true friends here -- people I associate with off the boards and intend to meet in person.

3. I have learned so much here about home exercise (prior to Cathe, I had always worked out at the gym); great instructors (Cathe and others), where to find the best deals on equipment (2 years ago all I had was a step. I now have a designated workout room complete with a weight bench, barbell, assorted dumbbells, bands, ball -- you name it, I've got it).

Here's my animals:)

I find most people on this board very helpful and love to come here for advice or just to chat

I have met some great people here that I do communicate with outside the boards as well

Cathe is a class act

I LOVE that there are so many people that share the same love for fitness and for their pets as I do

Here are mine

Thanks for starting this thread, Carolyn!
 
1.) I have met some really cool ladies from all walks of life who have been supportive, inspiring, passionate, hilarious, helpful and wise. I can't wait to meet even more of you in person.

2.) Cathe does a kick a** job of making great DVDs and offering support to her users. I recall getting my first Cathe DVD and being completely overwhelmed. Her coaching through the tv and the forum has enabled me to take it to the next step and work even harder.

3.) People like Carolyn remind me why I keep coming back ;-)

I'd add a pic of my fuzzy face friends but alas I can't post them or see them from behind this nifty workplace filter. x(
 
Great thread!

1. I really like that Cathe answers your questions and she does rotations every month for us!

2. A great way to get insights/and new ways to use the Cathe workouts (and other workout dvds)

3. Met some wonderful people on these boards, that like to excersise the way I do. (and have other similar interests)

PS My kids liked the ? of the day when Shelly did it!!:) Some of them were fun discussions for us.

Ooops! Thats 4 reasons!:)
 
Okay, I must admit, I am not a dog lover (already admitted this before). Dog and cat hair make me sneeze and I have a fear of big dogs. But, dh and kids love cats and dogs. I am the minority. Dh wanted a dog forever, but I used to tell him if he brought one home, he would be sleeping outside with it! I finally compromised: small dog that doesn't shed. So we have a shitzu named Betty. I am trying to post a pic, but can't figure out how to do it....

I LOVE this - your pets are so cute!!!

Great thread!
-Cathe is a strong, independent inspiring woman.
-This is a great forum for strong women (and a few men) to share their life stories, give and receive advice, and just to laugh.
-The support I got when my kitty died was so comforting and inspiring. Thank you all!

How in the world do you upload a pic to this forum?? ahhhhhhhh
 
1. I love that when I finish a Cathe workout, for one brief shining monent I am convinced that I have Cathe's build and figure, and all is well with my world (in general - not just body-wise!)

2. I love how we can all argue and disagree, but inevitably someone will post a post like this one and we all feel good again (remind anyone of a real family?)

3. I love the friends I have met (in person and on line) from the Cathe boards. I have been blessed.

And one never needs to ask twice for a photo of Jimmy! (Sara - you can post photos by using www.imageshack.us).

This is titled: "I've got a frisbee!!!!"

My positivity list:

1. The many hip chicks on this site.

2. The fact that we can pretty much post about anything on this forum.

3. That I can shamelessly post pics of "Super Cute Baby Puppy" Rascal and Phat Chance.

Good Morning All,

My first post, however I have been lurking for a few months now. This forum reminds me of when I did aerobics classes 15 or so years ago, the comradery, and yes occasional ruffled feathers....all qualities of a well mixed group....only this time I don't have to trudge to a class 3 days a week to experience it :7

1.) Thank you all for your insight, suggestions, and knowledge...I have learned more about exercise and nutrition than I ever thought I wanted to know from all of you. 45 lbs lost and healthier than I have ever been in my 47 years! oh yeah, and I actually have biceps now ;-) .....and a few other prominent muscles too!

2.) Thank you Cathe...I never realized that I could do weight training, enjoy it, and LOOK FORWARD TO IT! I think it is awesome that you give us that personal touch by answering questions via the forum, I feel like I have my own personal trainer!

3.) I look forward to 'checking' in everyday and learning something else new about working out, what works for everyone else and even being entertained by some of the other daily going ons.

THANK YOU ALL.......I HAVE FOUND A NEW GROUP CLASS!
 
This is a great thread, thanks for starting it Carolyn!

1) Cathe rocks!

2) You guys rock!

3) The combination of #1 & 2 has inspired me, kept me motivated & helps me learn something new almost every day about my ongoing fitness journey

I can't post pet pics either, stupid filter. But feel free to check out my picture trail.
:+
 
<Awww, thanks Beavs! You just made my day! >
Well Carolyn, you have often made mine. I appreciate what you bring to the discussions even if occasionally we don't agree (that's okay I hope ;-) )
 
1. I love the energy and encouragement that just radiates from these forums!

2. Cathe attracts some of THE NICEST people and I have met quite a few of the gals in person and made lifelong friends with them!

3. No one makes better Advanced DVD Workouts then our Cathe!

Just for you Carolyn: (This pic was taken hours before we took our Chelsea to the vet to be put to sleep.:-( She was 20 years old! We have so many GREAT memories we will always carry!)
