Hi - I'm in Wiltshire and basically doing a roll call b/c it's SO hard to find any shops/online stores where I can purchase equipment to go with Cathe's workouts... anyone else in the UK? AND where do you purchase your high step or weights from if I can ask?:)

I can relate. Never in my life had I been so hungry as when I was pregnant. I am still bfing my 8 month old and still starving and my snacking is a constant battle. I am also struggling b/c dd is milk intolerant and I relied on yogurts while prepregnancy for a snack or lunch accompaniment. I...

Here in the UK we get 1 year unpaid maternity leave - the first 6 mos are 'paid' (roughly $200 a week) and the remaining 6 mos are unpaid. American maternity leave entitlements are the most stingy in the modern world - even China offers its female citizens better maternity leave!

hi - I'm a forum lurker, but had to reply to this one! I moved to Merrillville when I was 3, then next door to Crown Point when I was 5 or 6 and lived there until I was 18. My parents worked in Gary and I went to day care there until first grade. My parents moved to Indy when I was 18, so I...

I was wondering whether any of you used any energy drinks (like ultra energy shake) while breastfeeding? All of the ones that I can find for sale stipulate not to use while pregnant or breastfeeding. I am just having a hard time eating enough calories while maintaining a relatively clean diet...

no ac for me either unfortunately - and only a small fan...:( i'm in england and nobody has ac. last summer i was pregnant (in my 2nd/3rd trimester and it was so hot that i had to stop working out for 2 months...in the mornings it still hovered around 84 in the house with high humidity...i...

hi - i wouldn't buy it from the us b/c customs and excise costs plus vat are added on top of it - they only allow £15 allowance per person and then the costs sky rocket..you could always check out www.dynaband.co.uk and email their sales team about the length

i gained a lot of water toward the end of my pregnancy. i had a double chin, my feet, legs and hands got all puffy - and the weight just piled on. BUT, this extra weight just disappeared about 6 weeks pp. I didn't realize it was all water until AFTER I had the baby and my legs/ankles swelled...

Goodness! I am sorry that you are going through this - I have in the past and will try to remember what gets me through these periods in this email. I can relate, when I was sleep deprived from having a baby, at one point, I thought I was going crazy getting an hour of sleep per night. First...

I used Cathe's Basic Step and Body Fusion and her Low Impact Step through the 2nd trimester. I had SPD and found it too painful to even walk for exercise as the pregnancy progressed. Just listen to your body throughout the pregnancy - you never know how it's going to go. Exercise is...

I don't know why your nutritionist would recommend seeing an acupuncturist, but I have had treatment in the past for morning sickness. Yes, the needles are long, but just the tip goes into you - I honestly never felt it or noticed it. There were no marks on my body after the treatment as well...

I saw these were on her website - they look good, although, I am not sure how long the workouts are? I did notice you can purchase them through her website.

Hi everyone, Another impressive week as far as how everyone's workouts are going! I am sure Lori, being able to workout for so long and cut down on your flex points has aided your weight loss efforts considerably! I am past the 12 week mark and it's official: my weight is finally coming...

hi - I tried accupuncture when i was pregnant to help with the morning sickness. in my case, it was all day sickness and i just felt lousy. it did take a few sessions for it to start helping me. it was hormonal for me as well (i suffer from pcos) and i had a strange combination of starvation...

Hi everyone, Everyone seems to bedoing really well and I am amzed by how much exercise ya'll manage to fit in! inspirational! I was too busy yesterday to check in...Edie was being checked out by an opthamologist b/c we suspect she has sight problems. Will know more, or the extent of her...

I transitioned by doing the workouts in parts...so for example, I would do basic step and then tack on 10 min of an advanced workout. I would keep building it up until I could do the entire workout and then move onto another video in much the same way. I would also modify, do premixes, and...

Hi all! Doing pretty well here - I am able to get in 3 workouts this week. And I am pleased to say I finally lost weight - 2 pounds which is a start! It's just going to take me awhile to get my body back and I shouldn't be too hard on myself. I was doing Cathe's low impact step - but stopped...

Hi Shannon, I had a similar experience and didn't see a midwife until 13 weeks after a 12 week ultrasound to confirm a healthy fetus. Good luck and congrats on the positive result! Annie

RE: Texas governor mandates STD vaccine for all school ... From what I understand HPV cannot be prevented by using condoms - there is no protection from it. Sadly, a woman I knew of in college has since died from cervical cancer (at the age of 27) that was a result of HPV. There's also no...
