Please keep us updated. I wanted to do a competition in June but I had some health issues that came up so I've set a target for 2011. If you haven't been to the website for The Figure Coach, I highly recommend it. I got several books and DVD's that were very helpful. There is a bunch of...

That was some wonderful advice!!! I used to be a Mary Kay consultant so I lean towards if its over a year, toss it. Except mascara, that needs to be tossed every 4-6 months. I do have some lipsticks that are older but they tend to not be the same after they are old. I actually was planning...

I got mine today!!! WHOOT WHOOT!!! I'm going to start tomorrow morning. Can't wait. Is anyone going to incorporate this with STS or anything else??? Just curious.

I don't have my shipping confirmation YET but I am definitely going to do the before/after to get a FREE t-shirt!!!!

Joan C - You hit it on the head! I believe you are correct! I believe he sees it as helping me but when I hear it, it hurts. People have different ways to say and react to things and I really think he thinks by saying that he is helping me. Communication is the key to a great relationship...

Thanks everyone. This past two years has had its ups and downs. Along with losing weight, doing 4 rounds of STS along with cardio; I opened a non-profit organization - Pregnancy Resource Center - that helps women/teens with unplanned pregnancies, work full time and am a wife and mother...

I've also done Beachbody workouts. Cathe will push you!!! I've done STS 4 rounds now and LOVE it. I have to admit before Cathe, all I did was Beachbody - now, Beachbody is in my drawer and I rarely use them. Cathe will get you super fit and I'm sure you will LOVE it!!!

Thanks for all the wonderful words. I do eat clean 90% of the time so when he does see me eat something, he will give me a look or make a comment. Like last night I made raspberry-mango sundae with no sugar added fat free ice cream, fresh raspberries and mango. He is very thin and doesn't...

I'm going to put myself out on the line here because I know how several of the women feel about this topic but.....I had breast augmentation (a year ago June 1) and I had a problem with one of my implants. I went to the doctor 2 weeks ago and dr said I have an infection in one implant - it was...

I do not have a barbell at home so I do all my STS workouts with dumbbells. I am on my 4th round of STS and have had amazing results - 45 pound weight loss in a year and still counting. Cathe does say that you can use dumbbells to substitute.

Today I added carrots and hummus to eat when I eat my chicken breast! I just have my plate stacked to the top and I don't have time to fix meals. I had been making meals on Saturday's but I didn't ge to this week. I have a hard time making dinner. I will make it for my husband and kids but...

Those are some great tips. I do have a cooler to keep my food cool. I do drink lots of water and no sodas or juices. I guess I just need to keep trying some different things until I find the right one that works for me!! Thanks for your help!

I get up at 4:20 am and do STS at my house. I have two children and a husband that I don't want to wake up (as well as a cat and dog!! ) Who has suggestions on what to eat pre-workout? Also, I usually get up and change and hit the workout. Am I not getting the nutrition I need or should I...

I too have bad knees. I do what I can but I certainly can't get as far down as Cathe or anyone else on the videos. I know my knees and what they can tolerate so I know I can push only so far. It would be nice to have some good modifications though! Some of us are newer to exercising! Thanks!!!

I can understand your frustration. Everyone thinks that because you have a nice figure you can eat anything. SO NOT TRUE!!! I try to teach my kids that the occassional treat is okay but you shouldn't have sugar every day. I hate it when they go over to friends houses and they are given pop...

You will NOT be disappointed. This is my 4th round of STS. I've lost 45 pounds since beginning STS....but I took off 6 months after surgery in June 2009. I wake up every morning at 4:30 am just to do my STS. I'd be lost without it!!! It gives you structure, certainly a challenge and you...

I have to admit...discipline is the hardest thing to do. I have been at a plateau for several months and very frustrated. I eat fairly clean but do have my weekly cheat meal or the occassional dessert (but not much). Right now I am fighting a knee injury and can't do much cardio which really...

I was sick over Christmas and New Years (5 weeks with bronchitis and then sinusitus). Now, just got it back. I've been VERY discouraged lately. I have been eating great, working out and not seeing much results. I wanted to do a figure competition this year but decided that I've just got too...

I have REALLY bad knees and have such a hard time with these. Now I know why I never could water ski....I can't get up. I don't use any weight and I place my heel on the floor. I know it is not how you are supposed to do it but it is THE only way I can!!!

I would skip the off week and go into Meso 2. It didn't seem to bother me too much. I have had to do that before (I'm on my fourth round of STS) What I would suggest is taking bands with you so you can do upper body when you have time. Anything will help. As suggested by the previous...
