I received an invitation to a baby shower that has no RSVP and no way to contact the person that is throwing the shower (grandmother to the new baby). I cannot attend but wanted to arrange a present to be sent, yet have no way to tell her either! I also know that the person giving the shower...

I've read here or there that it really isn't good to wash your hair this often (or even just once a day). I actually go several days without washing. The suggestion is to use a dry shampoo if you are not comfortable with out doing anything. And, as a previous postr wrote, it is probably a...

Thanks Cathe! I have only recently been feeling the groin tenderness associated with pregnancy, thankfully. My doctor took time to suggest when and how to modify, when to ease off, etc. I saw this move, of course, just after leaving her office for my monthly checkup, so I couldn't check with...

I actually used a modification similar to this yesterday in the total body workout. I used a balance bar standing vertical just to support and an ankle weight to perform side leg lifts. For rear, I got down on hands and knees and did the same. Not nearly as effective but it was all that I...

Interesting issue. I think it depends on largely whether you're looking at it form a moral or a legal standpoint. A few things to add to the conversation: 1) Work email and home email are two different animals. At work, you are given the email as a benefit, and likely a tool, of your...

I finally did Lower Body Blast last night & liked it very much :) The part that I didn't like was the exercises that included the paper plate (or disc). I'm expecting and these just felt too unstable for me at the moment (even while using plate and holding a balance bar). For the warrior...

Hello everyone! Hope you all had a nice holiday season. I just wanted to get a thread started for us this week in hopes that I will stay on track with exercise and eating! Last week was a decent one, exercise-wise. I managed 6 days with either a workout or a two mile walk, which wasn't...

I should know this (and probably do but can't recall..), but where can I find a list of exercises contained within each workout? I used to copy, paste and print the list so I could record the weights I used and know what was next but I can't seem to find them anywhere now. All help...

Hello! Hey everyone! Just a quick note to say hello. I hope everyone is ready for the holidays and can relax & enjoy themselves. I've been trying to get in workouts. Last week was a bit of a bust, mostly due to work, but I did get in 4 workouts. This week, I started strong on Sunday...

It really is! I know that I will be depressed if it doesn't come off a minute after delivery (:)) but I need to remember this point!

I'm in week 21 and I have gained about 12 pounds. It feels like a lot probably because my clothes don't fit at all anymore. I guess at this point they probably are not supposed to, but I know that my eating has not been perfect at all. It's tough for a formerly overweight person to gain...

Happy Hump Day - and the beginning of December! I've done well this week with workouts. I did Circuit Max (cardio with upper only) on Monday, Muscle Endurance yesterday and started today with a 2 mile walk (the pooch motivated me!). Tonight I will do P90XKenpoX. I am finding that my belly...

I hope that nobody minds me jumping in to get this week started! Just a quick Monday hello to you all :) I hope that everyone had a fabulous holiday and that returning to the grind hasn't been painful. This weekend marked the turn of 20 weeks completed! I started my 21st week Saturday...

Okay, okay, I know that you aren't supposed to ask this or compare yourself to others, :) but I wondered what the average weight gain is for those that exercise throughout their pregnancy. I'd imagine that this might be a little different that what you read in books or hear from your doctor...

Good report on baby this week Hi all, Saw the doc yesterday and all seems to be right on track with me and baby girl. Jen, I am lucky to be able to walk sometimes after work. I had a brainstorm and remembered that we live near an office park that has sidewalks, pretty good lighting...

20 weeks with a little baby girl! Hearing the heart beat is my favorite part of every appointment :) Hey all, I haven't been checking in nearly as often as in times past but am going to make a better effort. I'm in my 20th week now (with my first) and found out last week that we are...

Hi everyone! I am 36 years old & pregnant with my first baby. I've been on the forum for a long time but recently, don't post as much as I did in years past. I'm 15 weeks now and seem to be at a point where the queesiness is gone & acid reflux has subside a bit (it was rough for a while)...

Women at the gym are brutal. It's worse than high school. My experience is to keep doing what you are doing (in the workout) and politely laugh off their comments. The chatter may not stop but it may after they realize that you are there to workout and you are just doing your best for you. As...

Thanks everyone! I think that I will dive in with what tests I've done and try to get them done on the weekends prior as I go along. That was a great suggestion becuase otherwise, I may never get it started.

Anyone have these yet? I LOVE my TurboFire workouts (I've done all the cardio ones and core ones so far but no sculpting ones) & was considering buying the bonus ones. Wondering if they are as great and worth the investment (since I am not sure if I will use the toning ones that much and there...
