Hi there! We're very close, I'm due Dec 11, and am 13 weeks today. I read some of the pregnancy boards (like American Baby and such) and I guess there's a lot of different ways to measure when the first trimester is over. Since for me, 13 weeks is 13 weeks from conception and not 13 weeks...

Hi, I don't subscribe to FitPregnancy, but I picked up a copy from my doc's office. It looks like a pretty good magazine, it has articles on exercises to relieve various aches and pains, breastfeeding, working and being a mom, fashion, etc. I'm considering subscribing now. Congrats on your...

Uh... I don't think "brain tumors" are a "known reaction" to aspartame. Perhaps there is a possible correlation but to my knowledge nothing definitive. Unfortunately you could come up with a long list of horrible-sounding possible effects of many ingredients. It's hard to know until the...

Thanks Cathe! I think all we wanted was to know some background info (or at least, I did). That is a good point - if more beginner/intermediate level videos showed other options, they would be more versatile for various fitness levels. Cathe, I hope you understand that it is because...

I must respectfully disagree. Several of the posts I have seen posted to CJ have been pointedly rude and defensive. I am personally very saddened by this whole thread. I think it's a shame that CJ posted a perfectly valid question to Cathe and it created a huge thread with everyone getting...

Wanted to add one more things regarding your weights question. I think the general wisdom is that you want to include both muscle-building strength workouts as well as muscle-endurance workouts in your rotation. The Pure Strength series is a muscle-building rotation and it's a great series...

Ines - I find Step Heat to be fairly low-impact. Now for me personally, I do all of Cathe's step tapes but modify almost everything to low-impact (except IMAX, where I allow myself to do high-impact). I don't know if it's intentional, but with Cathe's workouts, MOST of the step is easy to...

RE: Just a couple of thoughts to add here... Well duh, I just realized this is already in the ASK CATHE forum. Sorry for my stupidity!!

RE: Just a couple of thoughts to add here... CJ - I am also curious about what Cathe has to say on this subject. I think the reason she hasn't answered your post is because questions directly to Cathe are typically posted on the "Ask Cathe" forum. I'm not sure how often she reviews this area...

RE: Newbie Ques: How does one Sort Through these Tapes... I agree, Video Fitness is the best place to get reviews. Feel free to post questions about a particular series if you want more info as well, we can help answer your questions about the videos. Or if you want a recommendation based...

RE: Welcome to the Wonderful World of Cathe! Tamikka, you look fantastic!! That is truly inspirational. Thanks for sharing with us!

I don't understand why "clean eating" would not include Raisin Bran. I thought clean eating was a general description of trying to eat more healthyful foods. Raisin Bran is packed with fiber and is a good cereal, why wouldn't it be a good food to eat? It sounds like everyone is talking...

Hi, I'm sorry I don't know anything about Medgem but I do have some thoughts. For a lot of people (like me), counting calories is really the only way I feel I can control my eating. HOWEVER ... There is a growing movement of people who join programs that are designed to get you back in...

I don't ever preview a video. The best way for me to learn a video is by doing it. So if I think it's going to be complicated or hard, I just take it a little easy the first time I do it. Or, I'll do something like do the video without the step the first time (although it's been a while since...

This is what my fan looks like, if anyone cares. :) http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.gsp?product_id=1795544&cat=14940&type=1&dept=5428&path=0%3A5428%3A51199%3A14940
