Help me! Help me!

I am new to cathe, but absolutley LOVE her! I've been doing Cathe workouts 6x/week since Jan 1st. Before that, I did firm workouts (Boy, are they easy now!). anywho...I've been doing strength one day, cardio the next, and rotating them every other day. Some days for cardio, i do a circuit workout. Here is my goal. I would like to lose about 10lbs. or so (I'm currently 5'6, 143lbs.) i have actually gained about 5lbs. since starting to do cathe (i'm hoping it's just added muscle, but i'm not noticing clothes fitting any looser). so, i'm looking for a good routine that will help me accomplish my goals, but I'm a little clueless and uncreative to go about creating a great routine. Here are the tapes that I do have:

Circuit Max (sorry I'm still learning the abbreviations)
Max. Int. Cardio
IMAX-
Step works
bodymax
megastep blast (kind of easy tho)
step jam (have not done yet)
all step (haven't done yet)
power hour
Max. Int. Strength
Cardio kicks (kinda easy)

I also have a few firms, but the only ones i think are any good anymore are FIRM Supercardio and Firm Cardio

will somebody please, please help me try to design a good rountine working out about 5-6 days/week? Is this enough to help me reach my goals? THanks in advance!

Ok, here's a suggestion:
MIC
PH
IMAX
MIS
Step Jam (its really fun)
BodyMax
Rest day suggested here
CArdiokicks (easy day for you,since you think this is easy)
All Step (30 min step only) plus PH (long hard day!)
MegaStep Blast (easy day )
Circuit Max-go all out
Step Works
Do MIS again
REst day

Take a rest day whenever you need it, at least one a week. You're kind of short of strength tapes. Your next purchase might want to be the Pure Strength Series or the Pyramids. I was a former firmie myself, and found Cathe's strength work awesome for weight loss. In the meantime, try to go as heavy as you can with MIS, a little lighter for PH. Ditch the firm tapes for now.

Thanks so much for the suggestions! I will defnintely try them! I am thinking of purchasing some new tapes and I"m thinking of either the intensity series or the body blast series. I'm also thinking of getting the IMAX, MIC Dvd and the PH/MIS/BM dvd and getting rid of those videos. I just have to wait for some money to come my way!! Thanks again!
