hello, hello!

[andreadaile]

Just wanted to pop in, out of lurkdom, and introduce myself- my name is Andrea, I'm 35 with 36 just around the corner, and just getting started on my fifth week or so of Cathe's beginner rotation. Love it, love it, love it!! I came here after about 3 years of The Firm, using BSS2/3/Transfirmer system I lost a good 20 pounds and was looking *HOTT*, then the Firm started making crummy workouts and got rid of all the instructors I liked }( so I slowwwwly put those pounds back on. But I'm starting anew with Cathe and looking forward to some awesome results!

I can't tell you how thrilled I am with how I feel after a few weeks of the beginner rotation. It seemed easy at first, on paper, with all those stretch-only days but ya know, I really need them! That Body Fusion really kicks my butt and puts a smile on my face. Even my husband is diggin the Core Max!

Cathe seems so real and down to earth, like a big sister taking me along for a great ride. I'm glad I got over being scared of her workouts and sick of the Firm

Welcome Andrea! Glad you found Cathe. As you can tell already she is a very refreshing change of pace from the firm. Oh and keep your credit card handy, she's addictive }(

Welcome Andrea! Nice to have you here. We look forward to getting to know you. My husband loves Cathe workouts too. Have your DH give some of her strength workouts a try. Also, Bootcamp is a great one. (BUT, KILLER!) I'm glad you got over your fear of Cathe...Have FUN!

Hey there and welcome! I think alot of us have history with the Firm. Moving to Cathe was the best thing I ever did! The Firm no longer challenged me. I am totally hooked , not only on her workouts but on this forum! Enjoy!

Hi again, thanks for all the welcomes. I already feel the need to chain up the credit card. In fact, I signed up for overtime this week and next just for that reason!

I posted a link to my pics so you can see where I've been and where I am...yikes!

Hi, Andrea!

Welcome Andrea!

I also Loved the begginer rotation,I accomplished alot of strength gains and fatloss while doing it!

When you get done with it,try the Intermediate rotation,thats the one Im doing now and LOVE it too! Getting some really good results with it...inches and weight loss!

And just like a earlier post said...Cathe is addictive}(,but its a good addiction!!

 

[DebbieH]

Andrea! Your pix are GREAT! You look good even in your BEFORE pix! :7 I def can see a lifted bottom on your AFTER pix. Great job. (I could not see the "where you are now" pix...needed private info to get into those.) Keep up the good work. You look amazing! Also, you look like you are in your 20's, not late 30's!

[andreadaile]

you should be able to see them now...and see those "late 30's"!! ha! But I know I'll be back to looking like a twentysomething soon enough!

Hopefully I am looking a wee bit better now, those were Jan 1 of this year, but not a whole lot has changed- YET.

I'll have to look for the intermediate rotation, hadn't seen that.

It's a GREAT addiction!
