Hi everybody, finally getting a free minute from the kiddos...Boy, I really feel like I have my hands full with two, how does one deal with more...!!? Thanks for your compliment Maggie, this here is really good practice ;)). Great to hear you girls are running, I'm meaning to try that...

RE: Overwhelmed, tired & grouchy! Hi everybody, and all you "scandies" there;))), Oh Briee, absolutely nothing for me to forgive, don't you think that for a minute! I'm really glad I've found this forum, it's nice to get to know all you people. Most my friends aren't so much into exercising...

RE: Overwhelmed, tired & grouchy! Hi, just wanted to comment even though I probably can't say anything you wouldn't know already...;) First of all, you wouldn't be human if working and taking care of a baby (with all it brings with it!) wouldn't feel extremely tough because it is! I think...

Oh, I totally sympathise, losing threads is SOOO frustrating!!! Three first months of the maternity leave are fully paid, after that it drops to 70 (or was it 75%...I forget) of your normal salary for the rest of the leave. After that, if you want to stay home you only get a very small amount...

Hi everyone, Logs look great, who would believe this is a postpartum forum…;). How fun to learn something more about everyone, see if those mental pictures hold true…;))). I work outside the home too, I actually don’t live in the States but in Scandinavia, we have about 9-10 months maternity...

Hi, your workouts look great, and abs starting to tighten up; I'm really jealous at that one! Weight-wise I'm fine, back to pre-preg and actually a little below, but my abs just look and feel awful! My belly has always been my problem area, so I suppose two pregnancies don't help. Now besides...

Hi Pam, just had to reply, I'm the same way, I seldom get sore from strength workouts even though I'm shaking with the last reps, and could really not do any more weight (with proper form). I've been wondering about the same thing, but come to the conclusion that our bodies just all react...

Hallo everyone! This week has been pretty slow exercise wise, still trying to heel my lower back. It's a lot better, but I really want to play it safe and not do any jumping until it's totally healed. I'm usually a real cardionut, so it's been nice to notice that I've enjoyed doing only...

RE: Maria :-) Hi, thanks for the tip, I'll have to look into that one! Maria

RE: Maria :-) Hi Briee, and thanks so much for your nice post. My little one (still "nameless, christening is on Saturday, and we're still debating over a few namechoices...;)) was born December 21st, right on her due date, so very close to Noah indeed. Yes, I totally agree, two this little...

Thanks shopaholic for your nice answer. I did feel kind of bad, and thought of not posting anymore, but then I didn't want to leave everybody thinking I actually was a fakey. Anyway, I've been reading this forum and totally admired everybodys commitment to exercise, and like you said, everybody...

Hi there, wow...I don't know what to say... I suppose I should just be flattered...but I feel awful if I make someone feel like what they're doing is not enough!!! That's the least thing I'd ever want to do!!! I wish I could tell you what a long road to fitness and healthy living this has...

Yeah, I was pretty blown away myself by Fridays workout... and I don't think I'll be keeping such a pace up, but it was quite a nice one-timer! Yes, I nurse my baby, but I'm blessed with (a second) baby that's quite a good sleeper. She only wakes up 1-2 times per night to eat, and sleeps...

Hi Maggie, sounds so familiar; I keep telling myself I couldn't have gained 3 lbs overnight too, but it is still psychologically discouraging, like you said. Thanks for posting, always helps to know there are others out there, too!:-). Maria

Hallo everyone, a new Catheist joining the postpartum check in here! Shortly - had a little baby girl a few days before Christmas, so going 8 weeks postpartum at this point. My first one is only 1 year 8 months (girl also), so I'm definitely kept quite busy:-) :-) . Anyway, life is starting...

Hi, thanks for your answer, I think I'll gladly join your postpartum check-ins! Yes, you are right, now that you mentioned about it I remember something like that happening with my first one too. I remember that when I did stop nursing, my weight went down about 2-3 pounds! I just don't...

Hi everybody, I had a baby 7 weeks ago, and am finally happily over my postpartum check (everything fine), and exercising pretty much normally by now. Suddenly I've noticed that I seem to be really bloated at times (sudden weight gains of 2 and above pounds). I'm really clueless as to what...

Belly fat the problem here also, so would love any ideas to try out. On top of ab workouts, has anybody found cardioworkouts that also work the core (say kickboxing, perhaps?) helpful? I've also heard opinions on jogging being helpful, though I don't exactly know how that helps with the middle...

Hi, I was just wondering how many interval workouts you all do per week? Do you do all Cathe (Imaxes?)or something else too? Do you do cardio workouts with blasts (MIC, Step Blast) on top of that? Lots of questions there..., I'm just trying to hit a good balance between cardio, interval...

Hi Kim, I've only done Cathe for 3-4 months now, but I would definitely have to say the interval workouts have done wonders for me. I have a little baby girl just 7 weeks old, so I'm still working to get back into shape from the pregnancy. I'm amazed at how quick I've recovered, and I'm...
