    Friend who was nicer when I was fat...

    Yep, sounds like good old fashioned jealousy to me! She must be pretty insecure in herself to pick at you that way. I am generally not a confrontational person, but in situaitons like that, I have no problem calling someone out on it. It's the only surefire way to get it to stop completely...

    Jogging Stroller Help

    I have a friend that has a Bob, and that's what I'll be looking for this summer right before I deliver #2. I agree, independent seat adjustments are key. For accessories, if it comes with or you can get a rain shield for it, that is always nice to have. I would prefer, personally, that the...

    Holland anyone?

    Been to Amsterdam many times, but not outside of that. If you're going there, be sure to hit the markets for shopping (Saturday mornings), walk through Vondel Park, tour the Heineken Museum (free beer!), take 30 minutes to go see the Anne Frank house, and if you're into it, visit a coffee shop...

    not about fitness,but need some advice.

    Welcome to the world of inlaws (whether officially, or not)! It's up to your daughter to decide what's appropriate and where she wants this other woman involved. It's very clear that you are hurt that she doesn't involve you in this same way, or at least, that she is clearly close to this...

    Whitining your teeth?

    No idea, I got it a long time ago. Just do a search for teeth whitening on eBay and see what comes up.

    Excess fluid?

    Has anyone dealt with this? I'm 23weeks right now with my second, and my belly is measuring at 30 weeks! It's HUGE! I'm not outside the normal ratio for fluid, but on the very high end of it, so they're watching me closely. The baby seems to be fine, so far. I'm going for a level 2 scan next...

    Whitining your teeth?

    The best stuff I've ever used is gel that I ordered from eBay! But this was a refill from an old kit that I've had for years. I've had trays made already from the dentist's office for my upper bridge. For the lower bridge, the eBay kit came with a "wax" type substance to make your own "tray"...

    I think I might have an eating disorder.

    Also not Cathe here, but had to chime in. Morningstar has it exactly right. You need to speak to someone and deal with the emotional/self confidence issues that you're having before you even try anything else. PLEASE tell someone. PLEASE get help. You're far too young to go through this...

    Soooo Frustrating

    Oh my goodness Lourdes, you're not alone! I'm 22 weeks right now, have gained 10lbs and my belly is HUGE. It was with my first, and it is this time too. People give me that "look" when I tell them that I'm not due until August. I even had some girl (that I don't know) come up to me in the...

    A Cathe petition - please sign!

    I will respectfully say that I don't think it's a very good idea. I'd rather that Cathe put her funding towards another fitness series, rather than an anatomy class. I'm not sure of her educational background, but a video like this may be more than she's comfortable handling. A suggestion to...

    I don't know what's wrong...

    This is why I hate the fact that scales even exist. They can be so deceiving. A much better guage...how do your clothes fit? Looser, tighter, the same? Now it's only been 2 weeks, so don't freak out yet. That small gain in weight is likely just increased muscle capacity. And keep in mind that...

    Nervous!!!

    I, personally, think that he should get to know the sex. To me, this is a pretty big deal, and I'd be really upset if I were made to avoid knowing it because DH didn't want me to. That's his problem, not mine. So I would let him find out, and you just look away or cover your ears or...

    confused about workouts rotations

    Can't help you much on the rotation question, but I know that I personally, have better results with B&G type workouts than with heavy weights for legs. I like to use 20-30# for leg work, and I feel that gets me the leanest. Anything heavier than that bulks me up. I do like to throw in the...

    Changes to workout schedule pre-pregnancy

    I didn't make any changes and had no issues getting pregnant either time. I think that if there are challenges getting pregnant, that's one of the things that doctors look at cutting down on, and sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't matter at all. I would suggest keeping your normal...

    Blog etiquette?

    I think that's perfectly fine, if for no other reason than to let them know that you've linked to their site. In the event they have an issue with that, they can let you know. Just a courtesy thing.

    Transfer ipod music to itunes?

    If you Google it, there are a number of free softwares that will do this for you that you can download. Supposedly they'll transfer playlists and everything back into iTunes so you don't have to redo it. I also have a new computer, and some mix of songs that are pirated as well as purchased...

    Your favorite baby jogger..

    Hi Liv, You may do better posting this in the Preggo forum... I don't have a jogger, but I have a lot of friends that have a Bob and love it.

    what a difference decreasing weight makes

    For sure! With squats, I normally lift about 10lbs lighter than the crew. When she does single squats, 40lbs is too heavy for me to manage good form at that pace. I can do it if she slows down to 2/2 or more, but in general, I prefer to squat with no heavier than 30lbs. Especially if your...

    full body workout question

    I prefer total body workouts, and I mix them up. I'd get really bored if I did nothing but MM for 3 weeks. You're doing the same type of work with most TB videos, so you're not sacrificing anything by changing them up. I like MM and the total body premixes on DM, LIC, 4DS. I also have...

    How do you find the time????

    Learn to multitask! For laundry specifically, I throw it in just before my workout, and it's done when I'm finished. And you have to ignore the phone. It's just about prioritizing. Where do your workouts fall on your list of to-do's? Mine is near the top, so for an hour/day, everything else...
