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...

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...

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...

Why hello everyone! I guess I'm transitioning into this forum now. I found out last week that I am (finally) pregnant after being on and off of clomid for several months. Ironically, I conceived without the clomid so this is truly a blessing! However, because the pregnancy is still so early...

I know it's a weird title but I am sooo grateful when Fit tv airs workouts that I don't own! Last week my prayers were answered when they showed Step Blast, Step, Jump & Pump, Cardio & Weights & Rhythmic Step. I am also elated when they show IMAX 2. I have soooo much fun with these and burn a...

Hi Debbie - sorry to bother you. You actually helped me over a year ago as I started out on this journey towards physical happiness :) You pointed me in the right direction with my fitness goals and I've made great progress. However, I've been stuck in a rut and getting very frustrated...

I just wanted to post and see if anyone else gets super sick from a cheat day? I've noticed for a long time that when I "indulge" my body shifts into overdrive and just can't take it. My husband and I have completely different schedules - I literally never see him because he works at night...

Hello! This is for Cathe and/or any other Germans in the crowd ;) Every easter my German grandmother would make lamb cakes for us kids. Since her passing many years ago, my aunt took over the tradition. Unfortunately, she has been in the ICU for the past few weeks fighting a terrible...

Since I began working out with Cathe over a year ago, I've been lifting heavy with her and have done rotations of GS, Pyramids, 4DS and a few others.. I've decided to switch up the weight work and give a rotation of Muscle Endurance a try. I really like this workout as it is a lot different...

Hello There! I've been on the fence about purchasing one of these workouts so I went ahead and bought one of the IFit treadmill workouts...level 3 I think.... Well, what a waste of money. I listened to approx. 3 minutes of it and there is no way I could possibly get into it. The music is...

Hello everyone and I'm happy to be back! I had a wicked time making the switch to the new format so I've just been lurking but I desperately need some advice! Over the past 6 months or so, using a combo of GS, S&H, 4DS, P90X and a few others (I'm drawing a blank here....) I've achieved some...

HELLO ALL! I've been laying low lately due to my (almost!) completion of P90X but I needed to pose a question... I've also been following the Abs Diet (online version) for about 4-5 weeks now and I really enjoy it..the variation of food choices is what got me to actually try it. Anyway, out of...

Hello everyone! I'm hoping you insightful folks can give me your suggestions on a good thermos / cooler. My 3pm snack has been oatmeal with a tablespoon of sugar free strawberry preserves for a while now and I'm trying to cut back on carbs so I'd really like to start packing an afternoon...

How do you all make sure you're getting enough of your daily caloric needs?! I log my meals in sparkpeople and I've been coming up really short lately. My recommended daily requirement is anywhere from 1730 - 1900 calories to lose, and GOD that scares me! I'm curious and wondering if this is...

I'm finishing up one of Debbie (FitnessFreak's) wonderful rotations in the next week or two and I don't know how I'd like to proceed. It's a toss up between starting P90X (my husband started a week ago) or perhaps choose another one of Cathe's or Debbie's rotations. I have approx. 10 lbs more...

I've done some searching through the threads and haven't really come to a conclusion about this. I'm very tempted to try the Abs Diet for Women, mainly to get some new food ideas, etc. From what I've read so far, a lot of people have gotten good results and the foods are pretty simple. From...

Hahahaa..sorry to bring this topic up *again*, but, I've scoured the message boards for HOURS now and I've really got to get back to work! My husband just received the program yesterday and he's ready to get going on it. I'm in the middle of one of Fitness Freak's rotations right now (and...

My husband is finally getting his butt in gear (literally!) and has decided to get himself in better shape. He ordered P90X and is really psyched about it but as far as men's fitness and nutrition, I am CLUELESS! Thankfully, P90X comes with a nutrition plan but I really want to understand what...

Hello Debbie, I'm sorry to bother you - I know you're terribly busy but I'll try to keep this short. I'm trying to calculate caloric needs using the Harris Benedict formula and I want to make sure I've got this right - can you double check my math?! Hahaha!! I'm 26, 5'1" (154.9 cm), 143 lbs...

Hello all, I'm in the middle of the Nov. 2007 strength rotation which incorporates S&H for 2 weeks and GS for 2 weeks. I had previously been doing 4DS mixed with GS and have gotten really nice results so far. My goal with weights is to shed fat while sculpting lean muscles (isn't that...
