    I stopped doing wts for LB and lost inches!!

    :D Wow this is so interesting. I have had such a similar experience to what everyone here is saying. I used to be a "Firmie" and up until late February of this year I was doing Taebo for cardio every day and adding Firm workouts for weights every other day. Then I found out about Cathe and...

    My Cathe Step DVDs For You, FYI

    ;( Well, I have given up ~ I realized that I have like 7 left feet when it comes to the (in my view) advanced choreography in Cathe's step videos. I just can't get it!! So rather than keep these new DVDs collecting dust, I put them up for sale on Amazon.com today; IMAX 3, Low Max, Imax2 +...

    BFFM Diaster

    Hello Caren and everyone, If it helps, both I and another online diet buddy tried the BFFM format and did not see success but weight gain/bulk. We both read, re-read, calculated and re-calculated the ratios and became obsessed with fitting our meals into the suggested format. **Please...

    does anyone here have super stubborn bodies?

    Good morning! I thought I would chime in and second what others have said - fortunately or unfortunately, we are all totally unique as to our metabolism and what will work for us. For example, last year I got married in September. I was working out/eating right long before getting engaged but...

    Salad Dressing: Fat, No or Low??

    These are all fabulous ideas! I went out and bought all three of Paul Newman's light dressings; they look yummy. And even with the lower fat/lower calorie dressings I still don't like to drench my salad..now with homemade blue cheese dressing that's another story. I could drown in the stuff!!;)

    ok Part 2: Red Meat in general...?

    :) Hello everyone again, I just asked everyone's opinion on salad dressing. My last question then in the similar area would be - when trying to LOSE weight, get lean etc. do you all avoid red meat or just eat limited amounts? I never really avoided it, although I don't eat a lot of it,but if...

    Salad Dressing: Fat, No or Low??

    :) Hey Y'all, I am really trying to clean up my diet as I feel that it is the barrier to me losing the last 10 lbs!! Ugh. So as I want to focus on eating more salads; I am curious. Do you all go the no-fat dressing route, the full fat dressing or "low-fat" dressing? I have never been...

    On your amazing progress...??

    Hi Cathe, So glad to hear that you are on the mend!! I'll keep praying for ya!! On a side note, I am a relatively new Cathe addict but loving the results I am seeing. I have already purchased about 80% (I think) of your DVDs and as I've started doing some of the older ones, I realize how...

    Arm definition

    Michelle, These are simply my suggestions from my experience so I am by no means an expert here! But it sounds like you don't need to lose weight and quite possibly you could stand to gain some (?) Just a thought. But, for arm definition, I'll be honest, I personally work HARD and A LOT...

    Arm definition

    Hi All, Not Cathe, but thought I would throw in some of my experience. I have ALWAYS admired women with lovely toned arms and that was a top priority of mine. I could tell for years that while I was working with weights I was developing harder arm muscles but didn't see definition necessarily...

    Low Max: tell me if I am a total moron!!

    :-) Thanks everyone for the great suggestions. I am determined not to give up! I am just one of those Type A personalities that just HAS TO LEARN IT PERFECTLY so on those particular moves I was losing the whole heart rate/cardio benefit because I was stopping and going so slow to learn the...

    High Step - # of Risers?

    :-) I started by selling my old FIRM stuff on Amazon.com. Then after getting my first Cathe DVDs I realized that I needed MORE. All of them eventually ha ha. So then I started selling my books and the old Taebo DVDS the silly newer ones that are easy easy. I've sold a ton on Amazon but its...

    Instructional Step Video.....???

    :D I am still a newbie and even more new to doing step workouts. I did them years ago when Step Reebok and all that came out but now that I am doing all Cathe (and loving every freaking second!!!), I realize that I have 2 left feet big time when it comes to the 'complex' step moves. I don't...

    High Step Risers - #?

    (I posted this in open discussion also) Hi All, Quick question. I have the high step topper and 4 risers from my original step. I don't think these are enough risers for the high step workouts etc. BUT I am having a hard time telling - do those videos use 5 or 6 risers under the topper...

    Aching back & KPC?!

    :-) This probably won't answer any questions BUT I did KPC for the first time last week I think and the next day I had major pain, mostly on one side of my back. The next day it was gone but that first day I could feel the muscles aching like never before. Personally I think it was when I did...
