Thanks for that recommendation. I'm going to check the podcast out. I'm going to experiment this week with 2x/week weights and add the extra day of cardio. Haha..I know everyone keeps telling me, "give yourself time..", but I waited 9 months to resume my active lifestyle and I was chomping at...

Sorry for the late response - my computer went kaput last week. Anyways, I did decide to take a rest day this week and cut back the weight work to twice a week and guess what? I gained a pound, haha. I just don't understand... I tried to work on adding more calories but still don't think I...

I was just about to ask about weight work and insanity, thanks! I'm going to start Insanity April 1st and I felt uneasy about not doing any weight work. Do you do a total body workout or just upper? I figure the lower body is probably getting a good enough workout already :P

Thanks for the feedback. No, I'm not breastfeeding. I lost approx. 25 lbs about a year and a half before I became pregnant mainly thanks to Cathe and through trial and error with food, finding the right exercises, weight training, etc. So, I thought that with the knowledge I have acquired the...

I'm going to jump on the Insanity bandwagon too, haha. It looks like a blast and looks like everyone is getting good results. I wasn't disappointed with P90X so this should be fun!

Morning friends! I'm a little confused about something and this is the first place I came to ask questions! My son is 7 weeks old and during my pregnancy I gained 40 lbs. 20 immediately came off after labor and delivery but I really have another 15 lbs to go before I'm back to a comfortable...

I hear ya! Spending close to $500 on both the sets at once would NOT make my husband a happy camper, haha! But grab KPC if you can - it's always been a favorite of mine and so much fun!!

I'm in the same boat...I plan on purchasing shock cardio in a week or two since I'm about to go into labor any day now and want to start this rotation ASAP. However, I contemplated buying STS also but it would be too much at once. I completed P90x last year and got good results from it...

HAHA! I tried to go for a walk/jog the other day and I thought to myself, "Oh no way..my boobs are too sore for this nonsense!" As far as the eating, I'm really trying my best because I want to bounce back quickly. During the day I usually pack my own lunch and bring healthy snacks, as...

Dawn & Stephanie, Thank you SO MUCH - it makes me feel much better knowing that I'm not the only one who has felt like this! Stephanie, you put it perfectly. Carbs are really all I can stomach. So as far as my pasta cravings, what I've been doing is buying lean cuisine pasta lunches and...

Hello everyone! I'm just checking in to hopefully get some support, haha. I'm currently 10 weeks pregnant and have lost every single ounce of energy I once had. Once 3pm rolls around I'm ready for bed! I don't remember being like this during my first pregnancy but that was close to 9 years...

Clarissa, I can only *pray* that my #2 will be like yours! My daughter was awake and eating alllll the tiiimmmeee!!!

Hey Melanie! Sorry about the delayed response. Well, my doctor is still unsure about how far exactly but approximates around 4 - 5 weeks. I had another sonogram today and she found a small sac and what looks like is the fetal pole (that sounds gross, haha) so I go back next week for another...

Thanks Kate. That's the one dvd that I saw people had tried. How did you like it and how were your results?

Well, now that I'm re-vamping the workouts, I've spent the past 2 days sifting through all the posts in this forum and haven't come across any real recommendations on ab/core work during pregnancy. Can you all recommend a good program for this? I've never been BIG into working my core (and my...
