My cousin got on Depo Provera (which is a shot, not a pill) and she gained 30 lbs in a couple of months. She stopped taking it, but unfortunately never lost the extra weight.

I'm 35-26-37 1/2 and my thighs are 25"!!!!!

I am almost 2 weeks late, and no sign of AF... no cramping, no bleeding or spotting, nothing. (well, except for slightly swollen breasts.) I took 2 pregnancy tests yesterday, and they were both negative. (I used the cheap store brand, because I am extremely broke right now.) I've been on...

LAST EDITED ON Jun-17-02 AT 08:15AM (Est)[p]I know exactly how you feel... I had a cesarean w/my first simply because his head was too large to fit and he got stuck... his head at birth was 15", which is pretty much the 100th percentile. He's 3 1/2 now and wears a size 7 adult hat. He's in the...

If you are not rotating the 46-min pyramid weight training and the 20-min cardio training, along w/the eating plan, then you are not doing BFL. BFL is the workout and diet, combined. Doing anything else and you may be doing something similar to BFL, but it is *not* BFL. Sorry, that's just a...

Do you really wanna know? When I was 18, I met my husband online. He was 21. We met IRL a month and a half after meeting online, and got married 2 months after that. We've been happily married for 5 years now. (I, however, DO NOT recommend meeting people {for romantic relationships}...

RE: Why capris don't look good Ooh yay! Someone else who agrees that modern capris don't look good! (I think they're also a bit too long, I like them to be slim fitting and ending right below the knee, not mid-calf.)

What would you do with that certification? Would you need that to work as a counselor at Weight Watchers of Jenny Craig, maybe?

It's the exact same stuff in diet sodas. I know that eating aspartame can make you crave even more sweets (it's a psychological thing, not a physical thing.) It gives me headaches if I eat too much (too much being more than 1 serving of an aspartame-sweetened item.) I haven't been able to...

Know what $%&$ me off? I was talking (online) to an old friend of mine I haven't seen in years (he's a guy.) I said something to him about Cathe's videos and about how I use them to help me get in shape. He said, "Why are you out of shape?" I replied, "because I recently had my 2nd baby, and...

I found this news article online... I thought it was a little interesting. But what do they mean by heavy exercise? Is it the intensity of the workouts they're talking about, or the amount? 30 min, 3 times a week is moderate, or so I thought... Does heavy exercise hurt pregnant women? By...

I don't know if you've already found an apartment yet or not, but when I leased my apartment I specifically requested a lower floor unit. Good thing, because when the tenants above me walk around, it creates an enormous amount of noise. And that's just walking! I can't imagine how much people...

I've heard several times from several different sources that a healthy body fat would be 18%-22%. I am within my healthy weight range (5'6", 133 lbs) but my body fat is nearly 28% (21% in my torso, 31% in my limbs!) I figured out that I will have to lose 10 lbs of fat to be within my healthy...

It could be muscle gain and water retention. I notice that when I start using weights again after a long break, I have a temporary weight increase from the "shock" my muscles get (causing them to swell up a little and hold a little bit of water.) But it's only temporary. Weigh yourself again...

I'm not trying to be a smart alec, but you cannot do the "Body For Life workout plan" using Cathe tapes. Bill Phillips says to pyramid your weights. For the strength part, you start with a weight that leaves you struggling at the 12th rep, increase it and do 10 reps, increase again and do 8...

Maybe I'm nuts, but I ENVY YOU!!!!! I got my S&H DVD about 10 days ago and was so excited to do it (didn't have time for the next couple days.) I was going to do one of the workouts Monday, but woke up with a terrible head cold! I haven't workred out since! :'( I tried to do Legs &...

What kind of $$$ do personal trainers make? I have made the decision to go back to college and get my degree in music education, but I have 2 kids and a huge amount of debt, so I must keep working to make ends meet. DH is in pharmacology school, so he works very little. I was thinking about...

I am wanting to get some good muscle definition (so my arms look toned even when they're at my sides, instead of having to flex :7 ) , and I want to give myself a kick-start. I plan on using CTX along with Cardio Kicks, IntervalMax, and CircuitMax for my cardio. My question is- which would be...

I was doing 10-10-10 today, and I got to the part with the arm cirles during the plyo jumps, and my fingers felt like they were going to explode!! They were turning purple at the fingertips and burning and felt like they were stuck full of pins (kinda like having a rubber band wrapped to...
