    O/T - Saw the New Harry Potter Film Today!

    Hi All, Comletely off topic, but a friend of mine had a spare ticket to a special "preview" cinema showing of the new Harry Potter film today. I am an avid Harry Potter fan and have read all the books twice (I know, I know - I'm 31 years of age and still a big kid!). This film is a little...

    Power "Ow"-er!!

    Hi All, I have just finished an 8 week rotation using Power Hour twice a week. I have to say, no matter how many times/how regularly I do this workout, it does NOT get any easier, LOL! However, despite my love of this workout, there are sections which I have come to dread - heck, they're...

    Raspberry Red Leaf Tea

    Thanks Anna and Sandi! Anna - I'm hoping it is more widely available here in the UK now, because several people have told me about it and have said they got it from their local health food shop. Thanks for the info though - really interesting. I have also heard that it can possibly cause an...

    Could I get pregnant this way??

    Hi Rachelsmom, Firstly - welcome to the Forum and congratulations on your latest addition! With regard to your concerns, my (unmedical!) opinion is the same as Iwseymour. I have little experience with the Pill as I too had problems finding a suitable brand which didn't either bloat me out or...

    signs of pregnancy???

    Hi Lori, I had the really sore boob thing going on when I fell pregnant - it hurt just to touch them lightly, so this could be a sign. If I remember correctly, it is possible to get a false negative on a pregnancy test, as sometimes the level of HCG in your urine (the hormone produced ONLY...

    Power Hour-how many x's a week

    RE: Kaz Hi Briee & Debra, Thank you for the encouragement!! I'm still really enjoying my workouts at the moment, but have faced some opposition from friends and family alike who are still under the misguided conception that I am somehow endangering myself and the baby by continuing to work...

    weight gain first trimester

    Hi Gina, Sounds to me like you are right on target at 2lbs for a "healthy gain" according to the guidelines you have stated for the first tri. I gained 7lbs in the first trimester, and so far have gained a total of 21lbs (now almost 30 weeks). Like you, I suddenly became anxious that I was...

    My morning sickness is killing me!!

    Hi Amy, I'm so sorry to hear you are having such a rough time. I had sickness 24/7 literally from the moment I found out I was pregnant! I also picked up a viral sickness/diahorrhea bug at about 5 weeks pregnant and didn't eat anything except apples and rice for 5 days, so I really do...

    Ugh...

    Hi Becky, I'm sorry to hear you are feeling so tired. I'm about 2 weeks behind you (approaching 30 weeks), and that tiredness and sore-ligament thing is just starting to creep in for me too, so I sympathise! I am lucky, in that I have now cut my hours to part time (one of the perks of being...

    Power Hour-how many x's a week

    Hi Marcia, I am just finishing an 8 week rotation with Power Hour and have been doing it 2 x per week and seen great results in my muscle definition (despite being nearly 30 weeks pregnant!). I have used it in the following way: Day One: Power Hour Day Two: Cardio - 60 mins Day Three: Cardio...

    Step????????

    Hi Ruth, I'm sure I remember Cathe saying somewhere recently that there wouldn't be an all step tape in this round of videos, but that it was pretty much a certainty for the next round, as so many people have requested another all step tape. Hope this helps! Kaz. Today Is The Tomorrow We...

    Raspberry Red Leaf Tea

    Hi All, A couple of women have recently recommended Raspberry Red Leaf Tea to me. Apparently, you start taking it (either as a tea or you can buy a herbal preparation of it) about 2 months before your due date and it helps encourage the uterine contractions during labour, and can make labour...

    Yeah! He's here

    RE: Congratulations! Hi Becky, Congratulations on your new son! Reece is a great name! I'm glad your labour wasn't too stressful - gives me hope as my bundle of joy is due in about 11 weeks time! I take my hat off to you - 2 1/2 weeks post-partum and already back to Cathe workouts?!! Wow - that...

    What do you do for workouts?

    Hi Lori, I am currently 28 weeks along with my first and have continued working out with mainly Cathe videos (both strength and cardio). I modified the impact fairly early on, simply because the baby has been sitting on my bladder practically from day one, and it just hasn't felt comfortable...

    Upset About Weight Gain!

    RE: Been there... and it'll be okay :) Hi Guys! Thank you so much for all your wonderful replies - I am sitting here with tears in my eyes (uh-oh - hormones are off again!). I wasn't aware of what the "average" weight gain was during pregnancy, so it's good to know I am somewhere around that...

    Upset About Weight Gain!

    Hi All, Just wanted to vent! I made the mistake of hopping (not literally!) on the scales this morning and now I really wish I hadn't!! I'd promised myself that I wouldn't weigh myself until after the baby was born (I am 28 weeks pg today). However, DH is trying to lose weight so he wanted...

    Lack of Sleep ?

    Hi Anna, Can't really offer any advice on the sleep front (this is NOT a problem for me at the mo!). However, on the weight-loss front, I just wanted to say "hang in there!". You have recently started a different fitness routine - let's face it, wonderful though they are - Cathe's workouts are...
