I have not been maintaining a healthy weight, partly because of work. In addition, I gained 50 pounds with my first child, and had a hard time losing it because it was I wanted to hold my baby instead of working out! Each year during tax season, I gain, up to 15 pounds! Then I lose
My healthy lifestyle journey began in March of 2008. This is when I finally realized that the freshman 25 and the 30+ pregnancy pounds I gained were not coming off. Being a full-time working mom it was hard finding the time and energy to get away to the gym to attend classes. I needed something
I began my fitness journey over ten years ago at 25 years old. I was overweight and not happy in my skin. I started my journey with workout DVDs and quickly found Cathe. Wow. Loved ’em from the get-go. With the help of exercise videos and changing my diet, I soon lost the weight I

Cathe came to me at just the right time. I had divorced my husband when my son was just 8 weeks old. So there I was depressed from all areas of my life. I had no sense of well being and didn’t know where to start over again. Hopelessness was starring me in the face.
When I got pregnant I had been following Cathe’s DVDs for five years. I was very excited to be pregnant and progressing with mine and my husband’s marriage. Although I was very excited to be having a baby, I started to worry about my fitness and what was going to happen to my body during
When I was a teenager, I never had a problem with my weight because I was an avid dancer. I could eat whatever I wanted, because I was at the studio for 4-5 hours a day, and still stay at a normal weight. Well, fast forward a couple of years later. I was married and
I danced from the age of three until 18, then stated teaching dance. NEVER worked out. HATED it. I believed weightlifting to be big men in gyms, not for women. No, definitely not women! I thought I dance and always will, that will provide all of the exercise I need! Then I met a wonderful
The past 2 years have been perhaps the toughest years of my life. After having a beautiful little girl in 2005, we decided to try again in 2007. Unfortunately, shortly after becoming pregnant I lost the baby in December of 2007. Doctors told me that it was just “bad luck”. Then after a few months
I was never what you might call a naturally thin or fit person. Even as a kid, I much preferred reading and watching cartoons to climbing, running or jumping. I played soccer and a few other sports half heartedly but gave them up by the time I got to junior high. High school was another
