Hi, ladies! I hope to join you all soon with a 2nd child. We've been trying for quite a while for a 2nd, but have not been having a lot of luck. I'm currently 35, but gave always dreamed of having 2-3 kids. We'll see what God has in store for us. Anyway just wanted to pop in and say you all...

Not a book, but magazine . . . I just picked up a copy of Clean Eating Magazine, and that one looks like it has some nice healthy recipes. I haven't cooked any yet, so not sure about the taste . . For books, I like Ellie Krieger's book too, and Robin Miller makes some pretty healthy meals...

Gourment Nutrition? Precision Nutrition? What is Precision Nutrition and Gourmet Nutrtion? I looked it up briefly but was wondering if you all could share more information. I'm a major "foodie," so I often have time with pure, "clean eating." Would these books be for me?T hanks! Chrissy

Hi, all! I'm so tired of counting calories/points, etc. I've done the Weight Watchers thing, Spark People thing, and both programs are really great, I lose nice amounts of weight, but it never fails. I get burned out with the counting, and I stop doing the programs. I have struggled with...

This sounds delicious! Thanks for sharing!!!! Chrissy

Hey, all, Itrain.com makes a mommy-stroller workout now. It's under the itread category. It's a great way to mp3 workout with your new little one! Chrissy

Hi, Melissa, I don't know if there are any real tricks. I do know that I took a nap every time LO took a nap, and that helped somewhat. The first couple months are just plain exhausting, but it does get better. I have used the book "Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child" and it has really...

Manmohini, You sound EXACTLY like me about 3 months ago - when I was trying to figure out this whole nursing thing . . . That tingling sensation you are feeling is milk let-down. That's when your milk literally lets down in order to feed your baby. You are lucky that your baby gives you...

RE: Sienna Joy aka Wooohoooo, Steph and Sienna!!! Congratulations and FINALLY!!! What a beautiful name you picked! I'm so glad she's doing well and that nursing is going well. If you need any information on nursing, kellymom.com has a lot of good information! Congrats again! Chrissy

Hi, ladies! Sorry I haven't posted in a bit either, but I'm still here. My workouts have been pretty non-existent. It seems that every time I put in a DVD, Ella needs attention. I think she's still pretty young to sit and entertain herself for a long time, and she doesn't really watch me...

Steph, I can't wait until you're on the PP post with us! You're sooo close! Are you getting excited? Scared? Both? You'll be really exhausted, but you're going to love it so much! Chrissy

Great memory, Steph! Yes, it is Ella. She is 2 months on Monday - oh my! When you look back, time flies, but when you're up with a cranky baby, and you're sleep deprived, it goes soooo slow! LOL! That's ok, I wouldn't trade it for anything. I keep trying to get myself to slow down and...

Steph, I hear ya! I really wanted to be by ourselves also, but unfortunately, in-laws from out of state and my own family were around for the first week, and it was sooooo tiring! I was cranky, my body hurt, and I just wanted to lie down for nap, but low and behold, someone would show up...

Cathe, Could you put together a post partum rotation with your exercise dvds? I'm currently 7 weeks post partum, and would like to get back into shape after the baby. I'd love to see a rotation using your workouts. What do you say? Chrissy

Hi, ladies, How'd the weekend go? I was thinking, I'm still not really on any sort of workout schedule, BUT I feel like I'm working out every day because I'm constantly running up and down the stairs to get things for Ella - or I'm walking around while I eat (which I know is bad, but that's...
