    Congratulations on your babies and on getting back into the workout world so quickly. Keep ordering, keep working and don't let anyone discourage you. I know it's hard to get our hubbys to understand the Cathe addiction, but yours will come around...mine sure did. He KNEW he was going to lose...

    Are we there yet?

    I know EXACTLY what you mean. It's getting a little painful...this crazy waiting for any morsel of information. Though I TOTALLY understand why she can't be on the forums. I remain hopeful that some information is enroute soon. She must be so busy. With two young boys myself, I can only...

    The best shape of my life

    Hi LaxLover2, Congratulations on your two children and thanks for the compliments on mine. Those last 5 pounds ARE stubborn, aren't they? Just remember that you can accomplish anything if you work at it day by day. Success is achieved in moments of decision. Remembering that phrase...

    Anyone use a doula or nanny?

    Tricia, You say "babIES" meaning you are having twins??????? AND a two year old at home????? I think if you don't have family nearby a doula or nanny might be just what you need. If you find someone who is truly a professional, they may be willing to work on a sliding scale based on your...

    How many calories per day / Food variety

    OH and chew gum or brush your teeth after you eat. It helps signal the "end" of the meal. I probably keep Trident and Colgate in business.

    OT - ? for working moms

    Same boat...same feelings. I have a 2.5 year old and a 10 month old and work full time. I feel like I am constantly in motion. I think it's great that you cherish every moment you can and give him oodles of unconditional love. That's more than a lot of children get. I'm lucky that my...

    Adult Children of Alchoholics...

    I am also the child of an alcoholic and read all of these posts in tears. You have all been so brave sharing your story and insight. I just want to say that it's helped me a great deal. I've been contemplating therapy for years and have never had the guts. I have so much buried inside. I...

    Early signs?

    Hi Jenni, I just KNEW both times. Call it mommy's intuition or gut feeling, but I just felt pregnant. Specifically, I was tired, crampy and my breasts were tender...those are definite signs. I remember it being so difficult to wait to test for my first...but hang in there...you'll know...

    Mystic tan - the icing on the cake?

    Can anyone share their experience with Mystic Tan? I'm going to a pool party on Saturday and want to look my best. I haven't seen these people since right after I had my baby. I'm happy with my body, but I'm so white I frighten myself. Speaking of looking my best...anyone want to share...

    RE: Hi Lori, Wow, I'm so flattered to have my very own post. I'm more than happy to answer any questions about my experiences with BFL...so here goes. I follow the eating plan to the letter...but I don't do the actual exercise program as described. With that being said, I think HEAVY...

    I LOVE P90X!!!

    You can do assisted pull ups with a chair (using less and less help as you get stronger) and do push ups at your own pace until you need to drop to the knees to finish the set. I'm so happy to say that I continue to improve at both and intend to celebrate my 37th birthday by doing a pull up...
