I'm so excited about my success story being released in the Fall Collage Catalog!! And on top of that they made me their "cover girl"!!! I was excited when they contacted me about it, but now that the catalog is actually out there it's even more exciting that people are reading my story and being encouraged to get into fitness!! That's the best part of all! So I hope that all of you who are Collage customers get a chance to be encouraged by my success story as well! Happy Firming!!

Congratulations, you Cover Girl, you! What an honor. You must be really excited.

What do you friends/family say about it? I'm assuming you've told them already.:)

Thanks gals for all your sweet comments! I hope you all get a chance to see it! Collage sent me 10 catalogs to send to family and friends and so I went to the Post Office yesterday to mail them out. The gal who helped me said "Is this you??" I was like..... "yah?" She then got this excited look on her face like I was a celebrity or something. I told her what it was and showed her my success story and she was so amazed that I did it all on my own with exercise videos. She asked if she could have a copy of the catalog and I was like "SURE!" It was so funny but it made me feel pretty good. My mom got her copy today and she just loves the cover picture. But I think she just slightly prejudice. ;-)

Congratulations! You do look wonderful! Enjoy those freebies! Which did you choose?

Funny, but when I see Collage's success stories, I always wonder if it's anyone whom I might "know" from the boards! :)

Hi Marisa! I just got my catalog yesterday and you look GREAT!!! It is especially nice to see your picture, because I am the person who sent you an index last year for one of the original WHFN videos and you always wonder who you are sending messages to on this board. You look a LOT like my oldest daughter, who has boy-girl twins who are 7 years old. Keep up the good work and thanks for the inspiration!!!!

Marisa,

I got my Collage catalog on Friday with my latest order-- you look fabulous, and your twins are just adorable! Way to go!

Hi "weatherwitch",
I do remember you sending me that index for the mix and match DVD. I finally got a programable DVD player and I have made up my own workout. Thanks to you for sending me that list of chapters and titles, it saved me a lot of time. Now I have my own "kickbutt" workout that I do with all my favorite tunes!

That is cool that you have a daughter with boy/girl twins as well! Mine are 2 1/2 now and they are so much fun! I'm looking forward to see how they grow and change through the years. I bet it has been fun for you too! Thanks again you gals for all your sweet comments!

I haven't ordered my free videos yet but I'm thinking of finally branching out and trying some Cathe workouts. I've been working out with the ORIGINAL FIRM workouts, Fitprimes, and I have the retail versions of WHFN workouts. I don't want to buy a lot of new equipment so I have been previewing a bunch of her workouts on her website and thought about trying her "high step" workouts since I already have a tall step. I also like the looks of her pyramid upper and lower body workout. Does anybody have any comments on these?? I would be interested in any opinions. Thanks!!

Hi Marisa,
The original Firm and Anna's workouts will always be my mainstay, but Cathe's workouts are a wonderful compliment to them. I think they help keep my body guessing and Anna's workouts working for me. Cathe's Pyramids, in particular, are a couple of my favorites of hers.

I must have the wrong catolog than you all got. My cover just has videos and then on the inside cover is a 72 yr old woman.

Congratulations! You look great! Please tell us more about how you lost the weight - was it mainly through FitPrimes/KickButts? I'd love to hear about your rotation and diet!

Hi Again,
Sorry I haven't posted sooner..... I was out of town for a bit. Now that I am back and after reading some of your comments about Cathe's workouts I definitely think I will order some for my free gift from Collage. The pyramid set looks very challenging but worth the try.

Nancy,
I lost my weight working out with the original Firms and the original FitPrimes. I don't have all the new WHFN videos, just the ones that came out in retail. As far as a rotation, I really just listened to my body and did what sounded fun each day. When I felt like pushing myself, I did. When I felt like doing something easy, I did. And when I felt like taking a break, I did. There were times though that I felt like taking a week long break and I had to work at keeping consistent, but since my workouts are fun and I see results so quickly it was always worth pushing myself.
As far as diet, I did follow the Weight Watchers plan on my own at home. That helped me get a jump start on losing after being pregnant and it taught me a lot about what and how much I was eating. So I definitely believe in both diet and exercise to get the best results. When one or the other is slacking I notice it in the way I feel. So when it comes right down to it... consistence is the key...... Plus having the right workouts at your fingertips that really work! And your at right place for those!! :D

Well I just ordered my first Cathe videos from Collage with my Gift Certificate. I should get them next week and I'm looking forward to checking them out! Also I just noticed on the Collage website that they posted my story and the others from the catalog on the website. Just got to collagevideo.com and click on the "success stories" tab. Pretty cool!
