Mikkame,
I am a new member to this site and cathe and just like you I am definitely overweight and trying to do something about it. Of course, I have tried everything from the high protein diet, excersing, and trying to eat "right" with NO success. Needless to say I hate the way I look and feel. I am 5'6" african american, married with 2 boys, ages 9 and 3. A lot of the weight is from non activity of course, and I like to blame it on having babies of course. I have always like doing aerobics and step aerobics. I first say Cathe on fit TV and really liked her style. I then researched her on collagevideo.com and now her own website. I have never really been a big fan of Gym's. I am very content with working out at home with videos, and even recently started walking about 3 miles per day with my girlfriend across the street. We actually push each other in that aspect. I recently ordered cathe's cardio hits, and interval max. I haven't quite mastered any of the routine's yet because I try to walk with my girlfriend most of the time. My husband has a rotating work schedule and I try to take advantage of our walks when he's on days. I am probably about 230 lbs. I haven't been on a scale in a while. I know I'm at least that. I would give anything to loose 80 lbs. Here's my thing, I don't have the time to attend meetings, but I know this is something I can do. I absolutely LOVE doing aerobics and step aerobics, my problem is eating, diet, food intake. I am not a big breakfast eater, althought I kind of like protein bars and can even do a protein shake. I recently started drinking nothing but water all day everyday. If I'm not drinking water, I don't drink anything. I have truly tried to turn a lot of things around for me with no success. Like I said earlier, I can't make weekly meetings with my two boys(excuses,excuses) and my husband's rotating schedule, I have gone to your website and saw your great pictures. Not realizing that weight watchers could be done on line, what do you think about it???????? I am truly in a motivating state and I desperate to lose this weight. Any communication with you would be greatly appreciated. I am sorry this is all over the place, but I wanted to make sure I said all I needed to say.
Thanks in advance,
Nadine
