    Do you have problem with traps getting big? FIRM VS Cathe- switching?

    Hi, I was looking at old photos of myself and had a long thin neck and almost no trap/visible neck muscle. I have lost 85 lbs in the past 13 months and still have about 50-60 or so to go. I have noticed lately that my trap/neck area is almost football playerish. I have been using the FIRM...

    amnio pain?

    When the needle enters the uterus it is a sharp pain like any incision. Once its in, its uncomfortable but not horrible. Once it comes out, the pain goes away. Most doctors recommend 24 hours of taking it easy. My husband took the day off and I went home, got into bed and watched DVDs while...

    ANYONE ELSE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE?

    When I was a kid we would drive from Maryland to Wolfsboro every summer! DH and I lived in Windham for 4 years and 2 of my children were born in Manchester NH. I really loved NH but honestly it was a bit too rural for me. It was a bit of culture shock for me coming from a DC suburb to...

    Heartbroken again

    Hi Fitnik, I'm so sorry you are going through this. You have been through more than your fair share of this stuff. I rememeber when you were pregnant and was so happy you got a healthy son out of the whole relationship mess. I do think it is cowardly to break up on the phone for gosh...

    Anyone using CALM or Proactiv?

    For me the best product is retin-a. Its prescription only and you need to be really careful about using sunscreen. As a plus, its the same ingredient in wrinkle fighters so it helps acne and wrinkles. My insurance covers it. I use retin-a in the evening and then in the morning I use an...

    Thicker legs due to leg press anyone?

    Hi, I have had that problem and realized that leg presses are not good for my body type. Step is great and really slims my legs but when I start doing step ups, especially on the FIRM 14 inch "fanny lifter" box, my thighs grow instead of shrink! I'm unfortunately one of those rare women...

    Did I feel my baby move?

    Hi! Its definately possible. Are you slim? If you are slim its more likely to feel the baby earlier. I felt my first baby move around 15 weeks. My 2, 3rd and 4th I felt anywhere from 15-17 weeks. What you are describing definately sounds like it. How exciting :) I'm so happy for...

    Help! My belly fat is discouraging me!

    I'm late seeing this thread but I'm SO glad I opened it. I had my 4th baby 18 weeks ago. AFter having 4 kids in 6 1/2 years, my abs are a mess and my belly fat is grossing me out. I'm losing weight and firming up other areas, but my belly is so stubborn and huge. I never had belly fat...

    Physician, Heal Thyself

    Hi Annette, I'm going to address this carefully since DH is a physician and I certainly don't want to put him down BUT, you are right- Dr's get scarily little training in nutrition. My DH was required to take ONE nutrition course and that course focused on chemistry more than what to actually...

    feeding cereal

    I think the best thing would be to discuss it with the pediatrician. Just my guess, but are the people telling you to try cereal early people with older kids? I think the conventional wisdom on this has shifted. When we were babies, our mothers were told cereal very early, like you originally...

    feeding cereal

    I would say never before 4 months. Young babies eat frequently because their stomachs are so small, thats just the way it is. Please don't feel the need to rush your baby into solids before its time. My first 3 kids I started solids around 4-5 months. My baby is now 4 months old and I just...
