I saw Deborah Waterhouse speak at a womans health conference entitled "The five stages of menopause". I had just turned 35 and I found it facinating, scary and encouraging all at once. One of the things I remember most was a statement she made about exercise. She said that if you have been able...

Cathe doing her own tapes? I doubt very much that first of all Cathe is full of that much ego. Secondly, I am sure that her body DID NOT come from simply doing her workouts. Cathe is far and beyond more fit than the average Jane. I am sure she eats more controlled and lifts heavier than we...

Lets do it!! I would be very much interested in having a forum dedicated to "35 and Fitness". When the menopause thread came up, I have to admit I was a little scared. I am 39 and in the best shape of my life, but fear the big M. Once I started reading the comments in the thread I became less...

Dear Cathe, Here's my question: I have attained fantastic results using your PS series. How can I maintain the development I have with your new series? How would you suggest those of us using heavy weight on the PS series to use your new series? Thank you, DebD

Running leans me out best! Hi Jackie! Boy, I know what you mean. I have used running as my "cardio of choice" for a couple of years now. I find that when I run 3-4x's a week ( 3 4mi runs and 1 longer run) and use an interval workout once a week I get the results I am after. I find...

Welcome Lindsey! Boy, I hope you don't have too tough of a time deciding which tape to buy. I have done the Firm since they sold them through the mail 12yrs ago ( paid an unbelievable $45 for total workouts 1-4). Anyway, eventually like all firmies my strength grew and the tempos in those tapes...

Legumes and Preimenopause Hello Lisa! I found what you had to say about Legumes and perimenopause facinateing! I too am perimenopausal and Nina's book ( particularly the begining is hysterical!). Her use of food is just so interesting to me. The recipes at the end, especially those...

Grilled Salmon on a bed of Green Lentils This is yummy and easy. I make the lentils ahead of time or the day before so I can better man the grill...hate dried out salmon! Enjoy! The lentils serves 6 1 tsp. olive oil 1 cup diced onion 2 tab chopped garlic 2 cups diced carrot 4...

To Lynn from the "Beaner" Just had to chuckle cuz someone could think that beans had something to do with the BFL challenge. NOT. However, Ange is right, the Hussman website is facinating! I copied all 20 pages of it and was up past my bedtime reading it...WOW. That Hussman is one grateful...

Oh Debra? Yes, sorry, that is indeed a pestil and mortor. My grandmother called it a ( phonetically now using short e sound ) a mor-r-r-rcahete. I inherited it and boy, if that thing could talk the stories it would tell!

I like the way you think! Yes girl! Any bean would probably do...ooooh, you are a wild one in the kitchen aren't you? Like that! Whens dinner? yeah, yeah, yeah do it and tell me how it went. I just posted a new thread on the Open Forum. See you there. DD

Hey Ladies and Gents, I know you all have to be downing some serious chow out there to maintain your Cathe curves. So, here is a place we can become inspired, share your own recipes, or just drool all over your keyboards as you read about the many concoctions we call sustanance. Lets give it a...

Let me work on this... Ange, I'm only doing about 20mi a week right now too. In conjunction with a kickboxing class, spinning and either Imax, bodymax, Gin's Intense moves, or Mic I have managed to keep my miles at bay. I manage to run two 4mi runs and then gradually up my long run to 12mi...

Pam! Oh my gosh! Hysterical! thought I was gonna bust a gut. My kids ran into my office to find me raoring and bobbing around to all those insane tunes. Yep, could hear him singing the praises of the bean. Thank you, you made my stinkin day ( been eating me some beans you know.) Deb

Okay! Okay! Okay! Debbie, Hey! Kinda like your name. My mom had a thing for Debbie Reynolds...what Debbie you named after? I haven't noticed any "younger" Debbie's Under 30, have you? Oh No! Our name is becoming antiquated!! Oh well, we be fit antiques. Thanks for the motion toward a...

Hey girl! Gosh,I was just reading a old thread and learned that you like to run! How often and how long do you run as a compliment to the Cathe tapes and BFL challenge? I find that I am an endorphin junkie and will run 6,8,10mi. sometimes when I'm training for 1/2 marathons. But, I worry that...

Hey Shannon! Go to the "ask Cathe" forum and look for the thread titled: Body fat measurement. A bunch of us have been talking about the BFL challenge and other interesting things about it. A cool website there for you too that explians why the BFL program works. Deb D

Thanks for the tune Pam! Pam, Man, if I only knew the melody...I could sing that song with such conviction! I'll keep my eyes open for the cd. Maybe we should start a recipe thread? sometimes I get tired of all the same ol stuff, especially challenging when you trying to keep food, lean and...

Hummus for Helen. Hey Helen, How'd we get started talkin about beans on this thread anyway? Aw, as far as I'm concerned beans can go anywhere I do. In my version of hummus, I use spices instead of tahini( sesame seed paste)because the tahini has more fat than I can afford ,usually. I also find...

Beans the magical fruit...la-la-la-la. If I could open a restaraunt I would call it "Bean Banquets!". What do ya think? Speaking of lovely legumes, how do you feel about lentils and split peas? I combine the two with sauted red onion, garlic, cumin, and tumeric to make a delicious bean dip that...
