For anyone who is/has breastfed their babies, did anyone experience no weight loss during breastfeeding and possibly some weight gain?? I know they say that breastfeeding actualy promotes weight loss but I seem to be stuck at my current week at almost seven weeks postpartum while exclusively...

Hello educated Catheites. I am 5 weeks postpartum-I had a baby boy. I am wondering how long I should expect before my baby pooch goes down. I still have one at 5 weeks postpartum-is that normal or should it be gone by now?? Thanks in advance.

Hi shopaholic. You mentioned your abs are not flat yet. Do you expect that they eventually will be back to pre-preg state? Did you regain your pre-preg abs after your first pregnancy. I am hearing from people that the abs will never be the same again and that you end up with a deflated pooch...

I appreciate all of the feedback. I feel a little selfish about having these intense concerns instead of focusing more on the amazing task my body is doing however I keep thinking about the same things. Again, thanks for sharing your personal stories.

Thanks for replying. I was afraid you might say that. At least I can start to have realistic expectations about post delivery. I would love to imagine that once the baby is out everything goes right back to normal. I am afraid that normal for me may not be the same based on what some women have...

Hello everyone. I am currently 30 and 4/7 weeks pregnant. This is my first. I will be 30 years old. I am trying to get a realisitic mind set with regards to post pregnancy tummy appearance. I should preface this with how much Dr.90210 I have been watching lately. Anyhow, I am wondering about how...

Hi Cathe. I was interested in the way you conduct your weight workouts. Do you focus on heavy weights/low reps or do you follow a regimine similiar to most of your DVD workouts ie high reps/moderate weight. Basically, do follow your own DVD rotations? Thanks in advance.

Could I possibly bother you for one also.? Thanks in advance. [email protected]

Thanks for the replies. I chuckled when I read the pee/sweat comment. You guys are great!!! Anyway, it makes sense not to focus too much on this given the water retention and resulting accuracy issue. I think seeing those numbers really can mess you up mentally. Its like all rationale and...

Does anyone know the average or acceptable range for bodyfat % during pregnancy? I know my bodyfat has has increased greatly (and I know this is what happens) however I feel like it seems to have a increased markedly. Thanks in advance.

These posts have been very informative and helpful. Thank you to each of you fo sharing your information and personal experience. I admit that I have had a very hard time relaxing during this pregnancy. I keep feeling like I am screwing up especially with regards to the weight gain. I do know...

Thanks Stacy. I really appreciate that great advice and for you sharing your personal experience with me. I think I really do get more nervous because this is my first and I really don't know what to expect or what the normal variable ranges are for certain things. Also, do you know if high...

Hi everyone. This is my first post to this forum topic although I have been a very frequent visitor. I am 16 and a half weeks into my first pregnancy and have piled on about 11 pounds. I am very concerned and I really have yet to get much feedback from my OB as I will just be going to my second...

Thanks for all of the feedback. I feel a little nervous at times like I may be doing something wrong for my baby-like stuffing it!!!! Anyway, it is really nice to have people to talk to about this especially since it is new. It seems the more books I read the more nervous I get. So most of you...

Hello. I am eight weeks pregnant with my first and feel like I am hungry all of the time. Is it too early to be this ravenous?? Could it all be in my head??? Also, I find myself justifying eating things I would normally keep to minimum- can you say birthday cake, french fries, pasta with creamy...

Thanks for your input. I will be looking into all these things.

Hi. I have recently moved and discovered I have many,many DVD/VHS workouts that I could/should sell. My husband to be is really pushing this as we are low on funds and have limited space. I am not very well versed on ebay but am going to give it a whirl. Just wondering if there are any other...

I would love it!!!! [email protected] Thanks so much.

as many times as you want. keep the cardio short and intense. the hour and a half long cardio sessions do nothing but eat at hard earned muscle. your cardio sessions should be followed by a meal containing a good amount of carbohydrate and a quick digesting protein source such as whey.

Thanks. I couldn't click on the link. Could you try and post them again? Thanks.
