124lbs is not big. I'm 125 at 5'2" and look pretty lean. Not sure how tall you are. I can tell you, though, that you can only shrink fat. You can't remove it without surgery. I can also tell you that sometimes, no matter what you do, you can't get muscle tone without "help". I struggled...

I use an online service called e-Salon to have my color professionally mixed and sent to me. It's $25. You can set up the online profile, choose the color range you'd like to be in, specify the amount of coverage for gray/white that you need...all of it. You can even post a photo online. Their...

I had a salad recently with grilled chicken coated in buffalo sauce. Great change up for flavor. I used ranch dressing with it.

So I'm a lone dissenter, I think... I have a Mia. I started out using it daily in the shower...and within a week, found that I had DEVELOPED horrible acne around my chin and smile lines. I kept at it, figuring it was "clearing toxins" out of my skin, and that it would resolve after a bit. No...

I did the same as Mother of Six and the other poster....go barefoot. The shoes we wear ruin our feet and take away our natural ability to balance and use those muscles. As a result, the muscle imbalance and pain starts to occur. Very few doctors will tell you this. The treat symptoms, rather...

They're basically used for rolling out tight muscles. My chiro has me use one in between appointments when things get tight. You use your body weight to massage out the area, basically. For me, my IT Band is a huge culprit in my knee pain. So I'll lay on the roller to get it to release...

You're totally fine to keep doing what you were doing. The short answer is that doctors don't know much at all about how fitness impacts pregnancy, other than that it makes delivery and recovery much eaiser. You'll hear all kinds of things from "don't lift over 10lbs to don't get your heart...

I got mugged at gun point. So, not the motivator that I would recommend! LOL! At the time, I had a lot of anger and was feeling very helpless. I found strength and confidence again in fitness. It was a way to have control over something in a positive way. I had started with Tammilee Webb...

26"???? I've had 2 kids AND a full tummy tuck with muscle repair, and I'm still 30" around! Wow!

Your body is doing a lot right now, so be patient with it! You'll be weak and you'll feel that way. You lost a lot of blood and fluid during delivery, so some if it is that. Your blood pressure is regulating. So just be patient! You're also not sleeping, so keep that in mind! (Unless you've...

I'll also chime in! I have 2 kids. First preg - worked out the entire time through with most of the intensity that I started with in the beginning. Gained 26 lbs. #2 - same thing, gained 32 lbs. Both pregnancies, I began working out within 1-2 weeks of delivery. I lost every pound I had...

Hi Cathe! I've been searching forever, and I guess I should just go to the source! The song in Circuit Blast with the chorus of "How Long Can I Wait for You?" just gets me so charged up. I'd love to buy a copy (or try) somewhere. Where did that song come from?

Mine too! First time out of the case and into the player.

I did Athletic Training yesterday and it kicked my butt! I had to take little breaks several times. The first 30 minutes are just straight cardio with very few breaks! I'm a regular Cathe loyalist, and this one was tough! I guess I've been neglecting my cardio! Can't wait to try the rest!

A convertible seat will take you up to 40lbs, and will let you keep her rear facing, which is what the current recommendation is until they're 2 (or their legs get too long!). Our DD will be 1 on the 13th, and we switched her to a convertible rear facing seat about a month ago. So much easier!

Mine was HIDEOUS while pregnant with my son. Nasty, cystic acne all over my chin and mouth area. I've never had an acne probelm in my life. My shoulders, back and chest were equally disgusting. The good news is that it was short lived with pregnancy. After delivery, once I went back on the...

Thanks for responding! I take weekends off - so Saturdays and Sundays are rest days for me. Working on drinking more water. I'm terrible there. I take in about 1800 cals/day (I'm 5'2", 137lbs), and that seems to maintain for me. And I tend to get aobut 7 hrs of sleep a night. So apart from...

Hi ladies, I'm not a frequent poster, but you've always given me great advice... I've posted something similar to this about a month ago, so please bear with me. It's not entirely redundant. It seems that my workouts are doing more damage than good. This is new problem for me. For years...

Thanks ladies! I'm going to try a different instructor or two that you mentioned on here. I do have some Shiva Rae yoga, and I'm incorporating it more. I just don't want to make a heavy switch to it. I walked on the treadill today, and felt GREAT, so I think that the change of exercise was a...

So I think I've hit a wall. I'm fried on working out and dreading it each day. I still force myself to do it, but I totally dread it until I'm done. I've taken a rest week, and that hasn't cut it. It think I need a different type of workout. I have a lot of Cathe, and I usually do some form...
