Jen: I'm with you. I'm sick of all the mixed information and diet strategies! I have tried many different approaches to eating and tried WW a few years ago (it worked but I was miserable and starving all the time so I couldn't stick to it). I also find that when I try to eat the...

Malanie, Your post is funny (that could lead to more babies...)! Thanks for responding. It can be hard to keep priorities in perspective, but you are right. Thanks again.

Jenne: what you said about waiting for the "perfect time" is something I have heard from others also. It's nice to know that there are others who understand that I may have a "need" to stay home--not just a "want." I already feel like I would want to stay home, but I guess I will not...

DEBBIE: Thanks for posting! I really appreciate your input. All of this advice and information is making me think about all the things I would not have thought about otherwise. I do not have too many friends with kids to talk to about it. Thanks again.

RE: It can be done Hi Fitnik: Thanks for posting! Am I understanding your post correctly that you took a 6-month maternity leave? I think what has become the standard at my firm for associates is 3 months with full pay. How was the transition back to work after 6 months off? Did you...

Ditto to what Rachel said! It's other students freaking out in law school (studying constantly, study groups, cliques) that can freak you out if you let them. Just "Fuggedaboutit" (if you are a Dark Angel fan that will be funny to you). You'll be fine.

Rachel, Congratulations! I only wish I had discovered Cathe before my last semester of my third year of law school. That bar exam will be no problem after what you have already accomplished. Just go to the bar review classes and do what they say--you'll be fine! The only thing I didn't...

Autumn, Thanks for replying. Your post makes me feel good! I know that my husband and I could easily live on his salary and half of my salary if we gave up our excesses and improving our house regularly. I would also have to be more diligent with our financial budgeting and planning...

Shopaholic, Not at all! I appreciate your response.

Dana & Shopaholic: Thank you for the thoughtful responses. I am 30 years young now and the point about not waiting in favor of my career is a good one. I think PT would be an option for me. It just seems like things would be so financially tight by adding a baby and cutting my salary in...

I rarely post on this forum because I have never been pregnant, but DH and I have been thinking more about starting a family lately. I am wondering how any working moms out there handled the pressure of working full time (I currently work full time as an attorney in private practice 50+...

This is extremely difficult work to master. Hang in there. I have improved, but I still look nothing like Cathe after having the video for over a year.

MIC, Imaxes, BodyMax, and SJP cardio.

Kimberly, Welcome to the Forum. I have a pretty flat butt due to my genetics. However, I have made it much more round and fuller by doing lower body weightlifting as heavy as possible. I find the exercises that help most are: traditional squats, all kinds of lunges (static, forward...

Looks like this is the thread for Lynns and Lindas! I have a 1996 Suzuki Bandit 600. It used to be my DH's, but he got a new one in November. I got my license 3 years ago by taking a 3-day motorcycle course. But, due to us only having one bike, I did not drive it much until this year. Now...

And whatever happened to Starlight6? She was cool, too with lots of good insights.

I am voting for a stretching video (could be yoga oriented) like this: 10 minute warmup (like in the PS series) 10-15 more minutes of aerobic activity on the floor to get muscles hot (low impact hi-lo) 20 minutes of stretching/yoga with some really good hamstring & lower back stretches for...

Hi and welcome to Cathe's forum! It is a fun place to learn many, many things and improve your health. I love BodyMax for a variety of reasons. It can be modified easily if you find it too intense as a beginner, it can be broken into 3 segments (cardio step, step circuits for legs, and...

Hey Debbie! I remember Honeybunch too! What happened to her? She was such a wealth of knowledge. And Donna too (gettinfit@39)--she never posts anymore! I miss them!

Happy Easter!
