    Skincare recommendations?

    Have you seen those infomercials for Proactiv? I swear by it. As do my siblings and many of my friends I turned on to it. It is worth a try! I believe you can get some at www.proactiv.com. Becky

    need your support; just can't do it anymore!

    Thanks for your encouragement everyone. Even since I posted this a couple of days ago; I have gotten even bigger! I am a little more at ease with not working our now because I can tell that my body and baby are not up for it. I am still working at a stressful, high pace job (which I love) and...

    need your support; just can't do it anymore!

    Hi all: Well, at 37 weeks, I just can't work out anymore! I am very out front (second baby) and the last few workouts I paid for it for about two days. Anyone else had to stop in their last month? I was hoping to keep it up all the way, but just can't. And I am a very consistent exerciser...

    workouts as you get bigger

    Hi Gina and all: I am about 33 weeks and really had to begin modifying about 2 weeks ago. Weight work is not a problem, I haven't really dropped in weight at all but I do all weight work with a step on an incline, and sometimes have to rest for a rep or two on squats and lunges because my back...

    Ugh...

    I think I just needed some support from others like myself! I appreciate it. I do feel more comfortable with weights now and have not had to give up too much in the poundage thus far. I am more of a weight fan than a cardio and have been more comfortable with that. Thanks for the help and...

    Upset About Weight Gain!

    HI! I am exactly where you are at. (30 weeks now) but at 28 weeks I was 20 lbs and not happy. I gained 70 with my first and vowed to NOT do that again. Took it all off thanks to Cathe and the Firm. This one is going great and we are at the recommended weight gain. Keep working out and...

    Thanks for the reassurance. The resistaball is something I have been thinking about and maybe on one of my Christmas shopping trips (HAVE to get that done soon...baby's coming) I will pick one up. I will continue then and trust myself. Thanks!

    Leaving Olivia to teach

    Just my two cents too: Don't be too worried to pump. It keeps your milk supply up and will make nursing better in the long run for those times you need to be away. You'll be amazed at how much you can express! It is kind of neat to accomplish it! It is still your milk and the nutrition is the...

    sheila or tchrsue/simple question

    Hi everyone. Well I have 10 weeks to go and I am still working out. I have been lurking this forum but haven't posted for awhile. A couple simple questions: (Not really needing advice, just reassurance maybe?) I am getting 3 to 4 workouts in a week. One weight training, two cardio, and...

    My take on push ups

    Thanks for all your replys. I have had a trainer look at my form and it is fine. I never have strain in the back or anything, I just can't maintain my strength to get through. I do the push ups when Cathe has them in her tapes and even at the beginning of a workout, they are still tough. I...

    My take on push ups

    Hi Everyone. The last year or so I have had a harder time doing push ups than ever before although my training level has increased. I am baffled but here are my thoughts: (I am really looking for your thoughts on this too. About 4 yrs. ago I could do two sets of sixteen on my toes. I have...

    Frustrated

    Hi Cocomac: I just had a chance to look at this thread again. Your rotation looks a lot like what I try to do. I work out obly 4 to 5 days per week. I heavy lift one (MIS or something similar) then all cardio with a higher rep weight tape in there one more day per week.(PH for example). You...

    first trimester weight gain

    Hi Beets: I only gained 3 lbs by my 11th week (which is great for me....with baby #1 I had gained 12 by now!) But I am working out and watching my diet this time. So, you are fine. You might see a few lbs at your first appt, but better to not gain too much now because it will come later...

    Hi Chloe: Oh, I could have written your post!!!! I am the exact same way. I have worked our religiously and tough for years now. I am strong and can handle extreme cardio but cannot lean down and actually tend to bulk if I hit weights hard. have a lot of muscles but little definition and...

    Cathe is keeping me fit w/baby!!

    Hi Sandi: Sorry it took me so long to check this thread again. I don't do a rotation of specific tapes although I do have a weight/cardio rotation I guess you could say. I heavy lift once per week, then do a weight/cardio combo (say circuit max) once per week and the rest is cardio for the...
