Don't be so hard on yourself! A lot of your weight gain is probably just water, not fat. Some people's weight fluctuates a lot- up to 5lbs- because of the foods, PMS, etc. STAY OFF THAT SCALE! Measure your progress by how you feel, your clothes fit, etc. The scale is not reliable. I go on only...

I Know! Who knew an hour could mess us up so much?? I'm glad others fell it too. I was soooo tired the past 2 days. I finally got a good 8 hours and am ok again. Our bodies sure are sensitive:)

I used to have the same feeling when I was around my college roomies who all had some sort of eating /exercise disorder. I thought since I wasn't about to diet, exercise was the thing keeping me thin. Now that I'm away from them, I occasionally take time off from exercise. At first it feels...

Hi Candice, I have the first problem you have- nighttime eating. I'll eat pretty well during the day, but then at night, I eat junk. Also, on weekends I don't eat well at all since, again, I don't plan, and I'm not as busy. Here are some things I've learned: 1. During the day when I go to work...

Thanks! Thanks you guys! Those are some good tips- I'll use them all. You're right about the punching bag- spinning helped to take my mind off of it, but I really wanted to punch and kick to get out the stress. A run would've been nice too.

How do you gals deal with stress? I had an argument with my boss today that made me so upset and stressed. All day, I thought about it and was mad. I took a spinning class which helped a bit, but I'm still tense. So I'd like your suggestions. Also, when I'm at the office and put in a tense...

relax I don't know if you'll see this before your cruise, but do NOT worry! I ate out for every meal for a week in the Bahamas and did not one minute of exercise. I was afraid I'd come back huge, but had no problems at all. Your body needs a break - Cathe even says so herself!! If you weren't...

Love for Planks I love planks now (hate them when I'm actually doing them though!) too. At first, I think it's not going to do a thing since it's such a simple move, but I did them for the first time in months and boy, my abs are sore. I didn't even do as many as Cathe in S&H, plus mine were...

LOL Ha! I didn't know what "lol" meant either so I just assumed it meant "lots of love"- I guess I was wrong! Thanks for the info!

I've tried the Firm- not the package though. Did you see the infomercial?? I have 3 older tapes which aren't too tough cardio wise (years ago, I thought they were though- Cathe really shapes us up!). You use light weights for a lot of them, which can be awkward cause they do fast reps. It's ok...

I ordered online and had no problems. And the order arrived very fast (it's coming from NJ, and I live in PA, so that's why). I like that you can track the order too. Soory to hear about your bad experience. It's so annoying- you're paying a lot for these tapes/dvd's- why can't they appreciate...

I didn't notice that, but Cathe has this laugh/giggle that totally reminds me of Cameron Diaz's giggle. It's such a happy, little girl giggle.

I can't give you too much info since I just got S&H and haven't done PS for awhile. I'd say S&H is just what it says. It's broken up into bodyparts (I have the DVD so you can mix and match). I've only done a few sections, but you do about 3 sets and I think 6-8reps each, so it doesn't take...

I just got the S&H DVDs (definately glad I got DVDs!). Cathe mentions you should just do them for short rotations, like 3 weeks, since you need focus. This is only doing the videos a total of 3x's. Is this enough to start seeing results? I want to see some definition- I have somewhat thin...

I don't have a set routine either. I get bored doing the same cardio videos easily. When I did try to have a routine, I would always end up not doing it because I might have to work late, have a migraine, an unexpected appointment, snow, etc. and then I'd feel like I failed. So I just try to...
