I just rejoined Cathe because I got bored with my Zumba. When I looked at my weight back then, I was so happy! I've been low carb for 3 years. Started at 196 and was 130...now..after winter..140. Calorie counting doesn't work..trust me! Eat veggies, meats, and good fats. Carbs increase insulin...

Hi, everyone! If you have read my threads before, you know about my experiences with intermittent fasting since mid-April. I started at 179-ish, and this morning, weighed in at 146.4. I do a combination of 5:2 (2 500 calorie days per week), with 16:8 (16 fasting hours per day, 8 hour eating...

Hi, all, and hope this post finds you all well! Just a quick update on my progress. For those of you who don't know me, my original goal for the past several years, was to at least get down to 170. That was my original goal. Working out long hours, step, Zumba, running, and following a...

I haven't posted in a while, so I figured I would update before heading for vacation next week. Since starting intermittent fasting in mid-April, starting at 176 lbs., today I weighed in at 151.6. My original goal on here was 160. I blew that away, and reset my goal to 150 by vacation, which I...

Hello, all! I can't remember if I posted last week. It was a 1.2 lb loss. I had just switched over to a 16:8 with ketogenic diet but had a pizza party at work and bought a candy bar from a little girl selling for school, so it wasn't a real clean week! This week was fantastic! Totally committed...

Weigh in day! I couldn't wait until morning so weighed in at 2 am! It wasn't as much as I had wanted but I knew it wouldn't be. I ate out several times last weekend while away for Memorial day. But I still lost some. My May goal was 159, a loss of 10 lbs for the month. I missed it by a bit but...

Week six weigh in this morning! And I wasn't even nervous because I KNEW I was down.This week, I did 3 fast days, one of which was my first no-breakfast day, with 16 hours with liquid only. I also stopped using artificial sweeteners. So...for those of you who are new, I started at 176 , six...

For those of you who have been following my intermittent fasting posts, here is a very interesting look at how we lose weight, some of the common myths that we have been led to believe over the years, and how the body REALLY works! Enjoy...

I thought I would post one last weigh in, to make it an even 4, and to ensure that this seems to be consistent and sustainable. Weighed in Saturday morning. Down another 1.8 lbs. Started at 176.6. Scale now shows 167.2. Maybe I shouldn't say this here but, in all honesty, I quit the gym and...

I was TERRIFIED to get on the scale this morning. Although I am already into my skinnier jeans! So, at the beginning of this, I was 176.6. It is written on my calendar. After 3 fasting weekends (a little over 2 weeks).....I weighed at 169.0!!! It is fat loss, not muscle loss. I have been...

At the end of my 2nd weekend (10 days), and I am down another.8 lb. I knew it would slow down, and had a hiccup at work Wednesday when the boss brought in a huge box of baked goods! But I didn't deprive myself, knowing that I would be fasting this weekend, and I started a day earlier (Thursday...

I started this plan Friday at noon. It is supposed to last 36 hours for each fasting day. I thought that was a bit much so I was going to do 30. At the 30th hour, I breathed a sigh of relief, and ate a couple of protein balls......then didn't eat again til 7am! I just wasn't hungry! I think my...

HI! I have been struggling on and off for a couple of years with that stubborn last 20 lbs to lose, plus the muffin top, etc. I am 53, and it is frustrating to work out, eat "right", and not see the fat budge! I am sure I am not alone. So I was looking at CNN or something yesterday, and saw an...

Barbell upper body live! Now I don't know what STS was all about! I feel like I never lifted a weight in my life! And I was bench pressing 30 lbs (started with 20...was in week 3). I think I am going to ditch the STS and do these regular upper body workouts a couple of times a week.

I did a really awesome step workout a couple weeks ago. It used several well known songs, including "Buttercup" towards the end, where you skip across the step. Now I can't find it again! Sure wish there was a way to put the On Demand videos in a "my favorites" folder! Thanks

HI! I joined On Demand about a month ago. Before that , I was a YMCA member. I did the Step Up class twice a week (absolutely brutal class, led by a 57 year old drill sergeant!) , and Zumba once a week. It was TOUGH, but I always went the full hour. Now, at home, I can barely make it through a...

I started Cathe on demand about 3 weeks ago, and also started back on my good eating plan, documenting my intake, etc. I weigh myself once a week or so. I had a small circuit step with no risers, which was ok for the moment because of my past back surgeries. I can do a little high impact but...

I just started the On Demand, and the monthly rotation. I have been having difficulty due to age (52), menopause, and recent back surgery. I received TONS of support responses to my initial post about where to start, etc. I am happy to report that after only 10 days in, I am down 4 pounds...

I am doing the rotations and last night, the crux leaner legs kept stopping to load every few seconds. I tried everything, even another device. My internet connection was perfect, and so I decided to just do a different workout altogether. I did the live step, and it worked fine.

Cathe, you have been such an inspiration to me through the years! I started your step routines in my 30's, and now here we are, hitting our 50's! As I got into the late 40's, the changes in my body have been frustrating, and I have to work SO much harder to achieve anything! Being so fit all...
