I was unable to respond to your email at the given address. I got an error message saying the account had expired. Can you email me from another address? I'd be happy to help you, if I can. Thanks, Angela [email protected]

I've been told I have to have a D & C to remove an endometrial polyp. Anyone have any advice or reassurances? Thanks! Angela

Lookin' for all the ectochicks... Just thought I'd check and see how everyone is doing and give a little progress report. For those of you that were skeptical, I've been on the Gaining Mass program for about eight weeks now and have gained ten pounds! My measurements in chest, hips, thigh and...

Hey fellow sufferers... I was finally able to start the low dose bc pills yesterday, so we'll see what happens. I'm keepin' my fingers crossed. How's everyone else doing? Clare? Angela

I've complained on this forum before about how my husband never works out and, worse, sits in his recliner and *eats* while he watches me workout. Yesterday evening, I paused in my workout to get a drink of water. It was then that I noticed he was eating Girl Scout cookies while I'm sweating...

I've been considering a bikini wax for an upcoming trip to the "redneck Riviera." Anyone have any advice or experiences you'd like to share? Don't think I'm ready for the brazilian approach! :o Angela

Hey ladies, For those of you who are following my hormonal trials and tribulations, just wanted to let you know I go back to the GYN on Monday for lab results and, hopefully, some answers! *** please, please, please give me the low dose bc pills! *** In the meantime, I've continued to...

Here lately, I've been suffering with a variety of symptoms that seemed to be caused by premenopausal hormone fluctuations: long and irregular cycles, horrible PMS, painful breasts, trouble sleeping, waking at night in a sweat, and last but not least, a surge in my sex drive like nothing I've...

Awwright ectos, Briee asked me to start a check-in thread, so here it is. I just finished my first week on the Gaining Mass program (www.skinnyguy.net). There are three workouts per week: 1)legs and abs, 2) back, biceps and abs, and 3) chest, triceps, shoulders and abs. No cardio, lots of...

I'd like to propose another Slow and Heavy series for those of us that are focusing on HEAVY weight lifting for maximum muscle building. There's just no topping the slower tempo and only working a couple of body parts per day to totally fatigue the muscle. I read some interesting research...

Hi Phyllis, I started a new thread because I have tried to post a response to your question twice and it's not showing up for some reason. I've been through what you're going through. I have UC and have been on high dose pred a couple of times. I experienced the bloating, weight gain...

My DVDs are scheduled to arrive today. At the time I preordered, we were preparing to move and I was switching jobs, so I didn't know what my work or home address would be. I decided to have the DVDs shipped to my Mom's since we live in the same metro area. So, last week I call her and tell...

I've been using Cathe's strength tapes for quite a while, but had never done any of her cardio besides Boot Camp. DH bought me a step and I was very pleasantly surprised when I pulled it out of the box and Cathe's CTX All Step fell out! After I finished my scheduled strength training, I...

Ya know, they did this big survey of subscribers and talked about all the great new changes they were going to make in design and content. At the time, I thought, "Why change?" Now that I've seen a couple of issues, I really liked it better the way it was. As a designer, I liked the layout...

Looking for former members of the ectochicks weekly check in! Just thought I'd see how you guys are doing. Robin? Julie? Briee? Angie?

I've been trying to learn a little Spanish. I got the Berlitz beginning series and have learned just enough to put my foot in my mouth. Can anyone recommend another "teach yourself" series that would be more intermediate level? Gracias, Angela

I need to start adding more cardio into my workout rotation. I read in the latest M&F Hers that kickboxing is considered to be a great cardio workout for also shaping up the lower body. However, I've always been a little intimidated by it - afraid I'll do it wrong and hurt myself. I have one...

What are the advantages (if any) of doing preacher curls as opposed to regular biceps curls? Inquiring minds want to know... Angela

I read an interesting article in our local paper today on the Lotte Berk workouts, then checked out reviews on Collage Video. Almost all of the reviews are very positive. These workouts look like they could be a nice complement to my Cathe workouts. I am an ecto interested in muscle development...

Hey ectos, Even though our weekly thing hasn't been happening lately - maybe everyone's taking a summer break? - I thought I'd post and see if anyone wanted to check in on an occasional basis. Things have been pretty hectic in my life. As you know, DH and I moved a couple of weeks ago AND...
