All this talk of how Cathe has inspired us to be our best has motivated me to share these photos with you. These are post baby #2. My littlest guy will be a year old on Halloween. Let's all keep on working, sweating and sharing. Thanks to everyone here...you've all been an inspiration to me.

Letswork, you look absolutely wonderful! You and Maximus have inspired me hugely today, thank you! Now, I just quicky need to figure out if I want to brave the cold and go running (it's about 40 degrees outside) or just to KPC. Not that I normally wouldn't be going through this thought, but You've made me realize that it is possible to lose those extra 15 pounds that are soo stubborn!

Thanks again!

Wow - I had my last kid 12 years ago and I don't look that good. You and Maximus are inspiring.

You are a hottie! My 7 year old son uses that and it tickles me so! I said "wow" right out loud when your second pic opened. That has to be Nate in the first picture and your body may not have been quite as it is now but it's wonderful too! He is beautiful!. And as Laurie said, you aren't kidding when you say, "Let's work"!

Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?

You look fantastic! And the boys are adorable! Keep up all your hard work! It can't be easy to get a lot of fitness time in, when you've got a couple of young ones.

Cheers,
Sandra
 
You look great! Your boys are absolutely adorable. You all look so happy together, kinda makes you warm all over. Thanks for sharing.

You look awesome! I had a baby last year as well(#3). Can you tell me what kind of ab work you've been doing? Do you lean more towards a pear shape? If so, what kind of workouts have you been doing for lower body?

All the best!

Letswork....the perfect name for you....and you certainly have worked!!! You and Maximus have shared some awesome pics. Truly an inspiration to everyone!!! Congrats on your success.....:)...Carole
 
You look great and your kids are SOO cute. I also have to compliment you on your smile - it's beautiful (Sorry but I'm a dental hygienist so I notice these things:) )

Keep up the great work!
 
WOWWEE! You look incredible! Couple of questions--hope you don't mind...

How old are you?
How much did you weigh last year?
How tall are you?


Very, very impressive. Congrats on your achievement!
 
Gee...talk about an ego boost!!!! Thank you all for the wonderfully sweet comments...you all made my morning. Really, I'm smiling ear to ear.

Valerie,
Yes I am definitely a pear shaped gal. I make sure to keep Cathe's leg tapes (L&G's, LL, PLB) somewhere in my rotations no matter what. That "after" photo was taken following a rotation where I worked upper body with S&H and put one or two leg tapes and some intense interval cardio (Imaxs, running or KPC) in the mix. Kickboxing, running and interval training seems to help slim down my thighs and butt a LOT!

No matter what rotation I do, pushing myself with each workout seemed to really bring the results I was looking for...jumping higher during the Imaxs, adding sprints to my running and upping the weights did wonders. And...although I'm loathe to admit it, healthy eating is essential for me to see lower body results.

As far as abs...I try to do the real tough Cathe stuff a few times a week. I'm especially fond of ALL the ab work in the Intensity Series (BC, PUB and C&W core work ROCKS!) as well as the ab/plank work in CTX. I think Cathe's ab work is especially amazing. I can really feel it working in every core muscle, especially when I really concentrate. I can hardly stand the wait to see what she comes up with for the Hardcore series!

Wendy,
I wore braces for six years, so I'm especially fond of your kind comment about my smile. Thank you!

and...

Fitness Goddess,
- I am 37 years old.
- At the time of that photo with my second son Ben, I think I was hovering around the 150 mark.
- I'm a shortie...I barely hit 5'0".

Thanks again everyone for making my day so bright. I feel so blessed to have found Cathe and this forum.

I have two quotes hanging up on the wall in my workout room...

"How am I to know what I can achieve if I quit?"

AND

"MAKE IT HAPPEN"

So...LET'S WORK!!!!!!!!
 
You look great. You can tell you have really put in a lot of work and it is paying off. The boys are so cute. What a great looking family. Thanks for sharing.
