Welcome!!! You are going to LOVE Cathe! The first Cathe DVDs I ever bought were Bootcamp/Muscle Endurance and Butts & Gutts. I think they are a great jumping-off point -- especially Bootcamp/Muscle Endurance because it includes a cardio/circuit workout and a weight workout. You can modify to your needs and slowly build up. Cathe offers premixes so you can start by doing shorter premixes and work your way up. I also think Kick, Punch & Crunch/Legs & Glutes is another great DVD to start out on. You can choose from tons of premixes on that DVD too! (Premixes are just condensed/shorter versions of the workouts on the DVD.)
This site has a nutrition manager that costs only $10/month (or you can get a longer plan), and it's really a nice way to keep track of your food intake and make sure you're getting enough calories, vitamins/minerals, etc. It also lets you calculate how many calories you need each day to lose weight or maintain your weight... It's so easy to dip below your optimum calorie range while dieting, but it's so important to eat well when you're working out --ESPECIALLY when you're doing Cathe DVDs that require your energy!! Or if you don't do that, I highly recommend keeping a food and workout journal to keep yourself accountable.
Good luck!! Keep visiting these forums! I have learned SO much from these wise ladies throughout the years!

Hello again, and a big thank you to all those suggestions and tips you have given me. I have started to look around on the Internet, to tell the truth I am overwhelmed by the amount of get fit and lose weight stuff there is, any suggestions please? Has anyone tried any of these programs?
Welcome! I think you'll find this site as supportive and helpful as I have.
I do feel that I should warn you: Cathe's workouts are positively addicting!
