Same here! About 1 week into STS, I was ravenous! Unfortunately, initially, I ended up eating more junk food (not good). Then about 2 wks ago, I refocused & got back to weight watchers & have been choosing better foods. I still am going over my points some (probably eating around 1800-2000...

Hello All! Did Disc 14 yesterday evening. It was tough, but I wasn't expecting my heart rate to get as high as it did. I was dripping in sweat & when I had to take a break, it was more so to let my heart rate come down than it was to let my legs rest! I think I did not go as heavy with...

Just got done with Disc 13. I loved it! Agree that the longer rest periods were nice--didn't have to rush as much. Also, I got to pay more attention to the cast during the breaks & enjoyed seeing them all smiling & having fun! But they were all definitely working & lifting heavy during the...

YIPPEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) :) :) Already pre-ordered & already can't wait!!!!

Hi Ladies, I did the cardio timesaver premix from Low impact circuit--what a fun workout (it was my first time doing it). I too am looking forward to getting back to STS; I feel well rested and am looking foward to starting Meso 2 probably on Monday. Have a good weekend!

Hello Everyone, I took a true rest day & didn't do any exercise other than a short walk outside. It's been nothing but sunshine the past 5 days! A rare treat here in the Eifel region of Germany. It usually is overcast & rainy. So, just having true sunshine has been rejuvenating! I'm...

Poetree N Motion, Well said! I'm glad that you voiced your opinion (& so politely too). It's easy to start gabbing & not realize that the words said (typed) may be taken offensively. And it's very easy to write about the male cast members good looks (I'm guilty!) without thinking of how...

4DS--boot camp (cardio only) for me! Maybe the STS extended stretch after. :)

I have 40-50lbs to lose as well. My weight has yo-yo'd since I was a teenager. I have lost weight successfully in the past, but as I am challenged with the tendency to eat emotionally, it creeps back whenever I go through a stressful time. That said, I lost 30 lbs in 2007; & have maintained...

Hi Cathe! I had a great weekend; nice sunshine both on Sat & Sun, so my daughter & I took walks on both days. Today, I did LIS (cardio only) from 4DS. That is always a fun one for me. Besides that, I took the day off of work & got a little afternoon nap in. So far, rest week is...

I was able to successfully download the shows after following SNM's directions, however the episodes will not play. When I double-click or highlight the episode & click the play button, nothing happens. I tried opening the file itself with quicktime & get a error message saying that quicktime...

Hey everyone, I was late doing Disc 12 this week--actually my entire week was off. Instead of doing STS on Sun, Tues & Thurs, I ended up doing Mon, Wed & finally Disc 12 today. Disc 12 was challenging, but I could see some gains. I was finally able to do the wall squats with good form &...

YOWSA! (That's my triceps talking) Great workout, my triceps really were screaming. You would think that this being the 4th wk of Meso 1, I'd expect Cathe's bonus on the dumbbell tricep kickbacks, but they always catch me by surprise. And that close-grip bench press dropset did my triceps...

I did Disc 10 today; Really felt it working @ 70% 1RM. Already feeling DOMS. Good workout as usual, but I'm ready to REST next week! :)

Hi Lala1, Yep, that is the case indeed. After the first week of Meso 1, many of the clips/exercises are rearranged & repeated in the 2nd, 3rd & 4th wk, with a few new exercises added each week. The editing is so good that in week 2, 3 & 4, it is easy to think that each workout was...

Whoa! I'm excited & scared at the same time! :) I had been wondering what Meso 2 would be like--be a couple of more weeks before I'm done with Meso 1 & have the rest week. I'm eager to hear more as you continue into Meso 2!

Hi Everyone! Did this on Thursday evening. I found that exercises that repeated from Disc 3 & 6 were easier for me in Disc 9, but the new exericses--whoa! I can see how you can never get cocky with STS--the new exercises added each week keep you challenged. The deadlifts in this workout...

Hi Everyone, Did Disc 8 on Tues evening. It was challenging, but good. I started out a little tired as it was near my bedtime, but as someone else mentioned, the music really pumps you up & gets you motivated. I think I have made some strength gains as the weights felt perfect for each...

Hi Everyone, Did Disc 7 on Sunday. I started out this work-out feeling strong & well-rested. I did good most of the work-out--stayed at 65% 1RM for most of the exercises. The push-ups!!! Wow, Cathe, I didn't think would make us do the 8+8+30 push-ups AND the drop-set push-ups 14+12+10+8+6...

Congratulations on your weight & inch loss! I'm also doing WW with STS, so I'm hoping I'll have similar results by the time I'm finished with Mesocycle 1. Look foward to reading about your progress at the end of Meso 2 & 3. :)
