congratulations to both of you on your pregnancies! My little boy is 5 weeks old (our 2nd child-he has an older sister) and we are both doing well. Sorry I'm not sure how far into pregnancy you can do ab work-I read that it's not safe into the 2nd trimester because of the pressure that's put...

My son is almost 5 weeks old....I haven't done any exercise (other than carry him around and pick up the house, etc) but I have lost most of the pregnancy weight. Before I start working out/lifting weights again I'd LOVE to hear from anyone who exercises and also exclusively breastfeeds or...

Breastfeeding/pumping My son is almost 5 weeks old and I have a Medela pump which works great. It's a double electric one. If you plan to pump regularly I would recommend buying one-they are expensive but are worth it. I actually only use mine to pump when we are going out in case I can't...

Hi- I'm thinking of ordering one of Cathe's Shock Cardio dvds-I can't afford to get the bundle with all of them, but I'd really like to get one. So, those of you who have done all of them, what would you recommend? What's your fav.? (I know, sorry that you have to choose! :) And why do you...

I got my workout in today--the dreaded IMAX 2!!:D I love how I feel after doing that! I'm hoping that my hubby has taken to my shameless hints for Drill Max....I've been hinting like crazy but who knows. :rolleyes: That would be the 2nd one I own---I usually just dvr them from Fittv but...

Hi- I LOVE the Hungry Girl cookbook. I have her first one, not the newest one but I'm sure that is great too. Now, I will say that yes, they are low fat, but she does use a lot of "processed" foods. Her website has awesome recipes so if you're unsure, swing by there and try some. Most...

WOOOOOWWWWW!!!!

Wow-what a deal! I will look there because shipping online is expensive. I haven't done STS yet but good to know. -Amy

I have 1/2 cup of Kashi's 'Go Lean' and 1/2 cup of Kashi's 'Heart to Heart' cereals. I put a ton of fruit on...bananas, strawberries, blueberries, whatever I have. I also have a side of 1/2 cup of fat free cottage cheese w/ a couple slices of canned pears. This is very filling, has a lot of...

I didn't actually order one yet, but will hint to hubby or save up. I don't plan on ordering extra weights because I think Cathe often uses 40 lbs or lighter, right? I'm kind of new to her workouts and currently only own a couple--most I've been dvr-ing from FitTv.

Martha-good point. I will look into that-thanks! -Amy

I'm in Wisconsin and it seems like people are willing to fry ANYTHING at the state fair....twinkies, oreos, candy bars..... Someone mentioned bacon....has anyone heard of bacon candy?! I seriously heard about chocolate and bacon candy bars!! HUH? I looked it up online and found this. I...

Wow....excuse me while I try to hold back the dry heaves

Here's hoping you will have a speedy recovery. BTW, my daughter had her's removed when she was 7 and is doing fine! (She's 9 now). The surgery went smoothly and quite fast. I know you are nervous, but you will get through it.

Heather- Yess!! I mean, I too, wouldn't admit it elsewhere, but I do feel like I HAVE to be working out. I guess if I'm going to be addicted to something, exercising isn't all that bad. Since I didn't sleep well, I know it's good that I'm not working out. I was going to do some cardio along...
