I just got a DVD player and I have found myself going crazy ordering Cathe DVD's! Mind you, we are not rich folks. The worst part of the scenario is DH encourages me to buy Cathe DVD's. I wish he would put his foot down and say "No more!"
I would have been smarter had I saved up and ordered the entire 27 pack. Instead I'm buying one or two a week. Is there any hope?!:-wow

you don't see me, you don't hear me
 
Thanks Annette! I already ordered all of those. Just ordered Ab Hits today!}>
How did I know you'd be the first to reply to my post?;-)

Sherry

P.S. I ordered PS too. Have all these on video and can't bear to part with them. Sentimental value, I guess.
 
All I can say is you are not alone:) I am also a Cathie Loonie!!!! I couldn't stop ordering her DVDs once I found them!!!

I am however very jealous that your hubby tells you to do it! I had to start hiding mine. I now keep all of them in a small CD/DVD holder without the cases and it is sooooo convenient. Then, I just use the flyer that describes the videos to determine which ones I do every morning:)

I can't say there is hope for you. Only that there are more of us to share your struggles - hee hee. Ya' know the whole new set is coming out soon. I am going to try this time to buy the whole thing at once. I like you should have just bought the whole set! Instead I just bought them one at a time. Oh well.... they were worth it!

There is no hope for you.I have gone mad to.I just ordered 5 new videos yesterday.Who in their right mind spends $125 on aerobics videos.I ordered 2 pilates ,but only 1 cathe.I have all of the Cathe videos(except for the really old ones).
I cant wait till her new videos come out.I hope they are here before christmas.My husband is going to get me a DVD player for my aerobics room...also known as "the laundry room".And I know that I am going to want to order all of Cathe's workouts on DVD.It is just so much easier.But I am Canadian so it is going to cost me over $500 to get all of them.
Anyway, all I can say to you is...your not alone.

Ooo, Sherry, don't worry about it, though I know what you mean. I have just recieved my new 4 Cathe vids and I am already trying to figure out what to order next month AND I wasn't even supposed to be ordering anymore this year. Oh well........that Cathe is just too irresistable, and what better way to spend an hour ? :)

RE: Nope!!

No hope. Yeah, you should have ordered the 23-pack. That is what I would advise for all the newbies if they had the $$$. You will probably ending up doing as you did..ordering each seperate!!

Hi Debbie,

I LOVE your little smiley face computer icon, it is sooooo cute !!!!!!!!!!!!!! :7

First of all, let us not wish for our DH's to "put their foot (feet) down" about anything - that smacks too much of them treating us like children.

Let us exercise control of our credit cards ourselves, and we know we can do it without a waggling finger and a "daddy" voice saying, "Bad girl! No more Cathe workouts for you. Go stand in the corner."

There IS hope! Put your credit card in a drawer and don't get it out.

I'm just half kidding, by the way. It's meant to be tongue in cheek, but not 100%. I'm too much in agreement with Dr. Phil to think otherwise.

Just Do It! :) Just put the card in the drawer. Just eat right. Just exercise. No excuses. No kidding!
 
I have the same addiction and should have also just ordered all of them at once! BTW, I hear there's a 12-step (OMG, she said step!) program for Cathe addicts :O

I know how you feel. I just got my DVD player to get all ready for the new workouts. Then I wanted some dvds to try out my new player so I got the Pure Strength series (didn't have it yet). Now I want CTX and Ab Hits on DVD very badly. However I already have CTX on video. It is hard to explain to my husband why I "need" the dvds when I already have the videos. He even loves Cathe, but he still doesn't understand. All of this and I was supposed to wait until the new workouts came out for my first dvds but I just couldn't! It is definetely the most wonderful addiction I can think of! Heather

p.s. Honeybunch, if it wasn't for the fact that I am staying at home with my babies (i.e. making no money), I wouldn't worry too much about what my husband thinks. But since he does make the money to support my little habit, I try to let him have some say in the matter. Even if it is a very small say :)

Hi daisyheather,

I have every Cathe video made.....can't part with them, and I'm still ordering all the DVD's. You never know when something might go wrong with either a DVD or a video and God forbid we should go without Cathe!!!!!!!!:-jumpy

I told myself when I ordered CTX & PH DVDs Wednesday that I was not going to order any more until next yr. I figured these two plus S&H (which is on the way) & PS (had a few months) could keep me busy until the new ones are released before Xmas (sooner would be great!). THEN, I read the post on Ab Hits and am already itching for it too :O and my CC is still smoking!

I can only echo what everyone else has said: it's a lost cause!

But what a great cause. The Ab Hits DVD was my dream ab workout so I had to have that one. And I was just going to order three of the Intensity series workouts on DVD but then I slapped myself and said, who are you kidding?! I'm being realistic and just ordering the four-pack DVD because if I don't do it now I'll just find myself paying more for them later!

Just enjoy! It's worth every penny.:)
 
Hey, at least it's a healthy addiction. And, in a way, it's sorta self-limiting. Cathe can only produce so many videos in a certain time period, so once you've got 'em all, you're up to date until the next batch comes out. Maybe the credit card will be paid off by then...

Geez, I did the same thing. BUT, I was determined to not overdo it and get stuff before I was 'ready' for it. So in hindsight, yeah, I could've maybe saved a few bucks by ordering the biggie DVD special package, but I did get in on a few of the other DVD deals (2-fer's, i think), so I don't feel too bad. I had to test out her workouts too, to see if they were right for me ( I had ordered a few of her VHS's before I went DVD, but was for the most part too scared to try using them regularly). Now, Cathe workouts are so 'right' for me that when I do a different workout, it's like I'm 'taking a break' from Cathe! I just love her cardio and strength workouts.
