I replied to the thread because I thought this was a forum, which suggests that any opinions can be posted. My point is only that Cathe may not want to give diet advice because she wants to appeal to a wider audience, not just those who want a fitness competitor body. I never said you didn't...

Bumping - I have the same problem. I feel these only in my upper body.

I respect Cathe's decision not to give specifics about her diet. I personally am not trying to look like Cathe and her crew - that's not my goal. They look wonderful and I'd love to have that kind of physique, but as a 44 year-old, formerly overweight, menopausal woman I feel pretty good just...

Yes its the Feb. 05 issue. I love that magazine! They have a new column for women over 40.

Candi - I agree. I'm 44 and find that when I concentrate on weights and not so much on cardio I see better results. BTW, I saw that picture in Oxygen and was so inspired!

Oh yes, kickboxing makes sense. I have Cardio Kicks, maybe I should do it more often.

Thanks for your reply. What's kb?

Bumping - should I focus on oblique work?

I know I need to eat clean. Abs are made in the kitchen as they say, so I guess a slim waist is too. I do that, but what exercises are best for slimming the waist? I have small hips and thighs, but my waist to hip ratio is too high. When I find a pair of pants that fit me in the hips they're...

I'm "only" 44 and I've done Boot Camp once. I'm scared to do it again!:D It is a very tough workout. I do plan to attempt it again, but I really have to psych myself up for it!

Kimbra - hang in there, its definitely TOM effecting both your weight and your mood. Back when I used to have TOM I would gain as much as 5 lbs. in the week before. I'm 44 years old and didn't start trying to lose weight until I was 42, so you can't use that excuse. About the yogurt, have...

Cathe - first of all, I love your workouts! You give such great form pointers and I've seen some fabulous results! A friend of mine and I both love the Slow & Heavy series, but we both are having the same problem - we're experiencing hand pain when we do the chest flies and bench press...

RE: In pain after High Step Circuit - Is this Hi - obviously I'm not Cathe, but I've been doing leg press on a high step as part of my regular workouts for a long time. One thing I wanted to point out to you is that you should make sure your knee doesn't shoot out over your toe on the downward...

I've been maintaining a 50-lb. weight loss for over a year now. It has helped for me to have new goals other than weight loss (such as getting abs like Cathe's:7 ) Besides exercise, the most important thing I do is stay aware of what I eat. I record my food into a food journal about once a...

Cathe avoids discussions about what she eats because she is not a nutritionist and doesn't want to advocate any particular eating plan. She has made a few comments about diet, some of which can be viewed by clicking on the link on the home page at the bottom called "Cathe - getting in shape...

Hi Elaine - I'm not Maximus, but I've lost over 50 pounds on Atkins, so I think I can speak to some of your questions. First of all, to do Atkins correctly you should read the book. It really explains how to do it and why you should eat certain foods and not others. If done correctly, Atkins...

You sound kind of hung up on the numbers. Do you like the way you look? If so, then who cares what the tag on your jeans says? Who's going to see that anyway besides you? I know how you feel. I recently lost 50 lbs. and when I reached my goal weight it was hard not to try to lose more...

Yes, you can drink it on ice and still get the same benefits. That's all I ever drink! Here's a great website with more info on green tea: http://www.wholehealthmd.com/refshelf/substances_view/0,1525,10032,00.html

Jes - there's a lot of debate about what should and should not be included in daily water intake counts. I drink green tea over ice, but I don't make it very strong. I drink about 80 oz. of that per day then just water after I get home from work. I keep a 40 oz. plastic jug at my desk so I...

A man goes into a pet store and buys a parrot. He takes it home and on Thanksgiving Day while entertaining his family and friends, he is surprised when the bird starts cursing a blue streak in a very loud voice! The man is very embarrassed by the bird's bad language, and tries talking to the...
