Hi Cathe (and everyone else) -
I just wanted to thank you for helping me start getting back into shape. I have struggled with weight my entire life - I was overweight through about my 3rd year of college. At that time, I decided to make a change. I worked out for about a year and a half and was in pretty good shape and healthy. Then once I graduated, I took an office job where I sit all day. I stopped working out and started slipping back into my old ways (gaining about 50 lbs. :O) About a month ago I went for a checkup and was told my blood pressure was up and I needed to start moving. I knew I had to do something because my health depending on it. That is when I descovered your workouts. I started doing the Cathe basic step workout and a week later ordered the Beginners rotation. I have now completed the 1st month and feel excellent. I am a long way from my fitness goals, but I am starting to see muscle definition (especially in my legs), my clothes fit better, and my knees no longer hurt when I do step! Its a great feeling! Its going to be tough, but I know I can count on support from all the great people that use this forum. Thank you all (especially Cathe!) I hope to get to know all of you alot better along my fitness journey!!
