I have read many success stories throughout my fitness journey and never really considered that I fitted into that category of being successful in weight loss. But as I started to think about what success really means, I realized that I do have a success story to tell. Granted I have never considered myself to

We take our balance for granted. When we think of disabilities, we think of spinal cord injuries and fractures, but likely take it for granted that our relatively small feet will keep our bodies upright. Eight years ago, I was diagnosed with an extremely large brain tumor. I’m forever thankful it was benign. I had
Well, my journey continues as I have now officially entered menopause (August 13th). I have been a dedicated Cathe fan since 1999. I love, love, LOVE all of her cardio workouts. I struggle, struggle, STRUGGLE with the weight workouts. But, hey, I have lots of equipment and at least I am trying? Anyway, as I
I have struggled with my weight for as long as I can remember. There would be times when I would drop a few pounds, but they always came back. I got my first Cathe DVD, Timesaver, a few years and enjoyed it, but had a problem with consistency. After losing my father in December 2007,
I’ve been a pretty avid exerciser for years. I did the gym thing, aerobic classes, water aerobics, weights,brisk walking. I really started in earnest when my son was born (31 years ago). I walked with the stoller and bought tapes! (yep, shows my age). I was a stay-at-home mom so that was the best way

Cathe and the Milestones of My Life-96 pounds lost! I have been struggling with weight my whole life. I was an athlete in high school and college, so there were times when I was able to stay pretty fit, but after college, my weight seemed to spiral out of control. Throughout my 20s and early
I’m 41-year-old mother of two and in the best shape of my life, thanks to Cathe Friedrich! I was never an athletic child. I dreaded gym class like most people dread visits to the dentist. I had allergies, asthma and very pale skin…three characteristics that kept me indoors and inactive for much of my youth.
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
