I'm looking for a good cross trainer, something other than running shoes that will provide me the stability for my step workouts. I'm 5'10'' and a tad overweight (would like to lose about 10-15 lbs), so an underpronator that needs good cusioning and stability. I usually shop Zappos.com since...

Hi all, I've had a long tough road of trying to conceive since 04/2006 with 4 m/c under my belt. I'm nearing 40 and DH and I have decided that adoption just isn't for us at this point (for a lot of reasons), so have decided to live 'childfree'. Right now it's painful as our journey of ttc...

Hi ladies, Week has been really crappy for the past few weeks, so I just haven't had time or effort to get online much. There's a co-worker that is really lazy and causing me heartburn. I've had to escalate things to my manager and now I've been reprimanded in a way too. I've done all I could...

Hi ladies, Wanted to start us off while I had a reprieve from my pain. Today was pretty excruciating to say the least. Gosh, I thought with the D&C it would be different than losing it naturally, but no...had pretty bad contractions/cramping every five minutes for hours today starting at noon...

Hi all! Hope everyone had a nice weekend! Morris - I still can't believe you're running 6 miles! You are the woman. How far along are you? Nice job... Lisa - So glad you had a great u/s and are feeling better! That had to be so great to see that. I can't wait to get to that point...

Hi ladies! Hope everyone had a nice weekend! Morris - Sorry about the snow, that stinks! We had a bit a few days ago, but it was just a dusting. It's now in the 40-50's, but I wouldn't mind the 60's soon! Went for a walk today and it was a tad chilly but nice! Jen - Do let us know how...

Hi all! I'm sick! I just haven't felt much like posting lately. I'm trying to drink all the OJ I can and keep exercising, but it's hard when you just feel like sleeping. Hopefully this passes soon. DH hasn't made his surgery appt. yet. He's waiting to see what he finds out about his...

Hi all! Welcome Susan! Melanie was right, I'm 37 almost 38 in February. TTC #1 now since April '06 with 2 m/c. Praying it happens before I'm 40, b/c that's the time frame that we've decided quit trying. Who knows, if I'm not preggers by then we may have to re-evaluate. Good luck to you...

Hi all, Not too much new here in Iowa. Lots of snow and ice. Stayed in most of today to get the goodies ready to hand out to the neighbors. I did a lot of candy/cookie/bar making these past few weeks. I can't wait to get it out of the house, as I've been sneaking a lot of treats to eat...

Hi ladies, Sorry, I haven't been so talkative lately. AF showed and I was almost positive I was preggers. AF was late and had a lot of symptoms. Apparently, as I was researching Clomid, it can cause you to have a lot of pregnancy symptoms and lengthen your luteal phase. Oh joy. It also...

Hi all, I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving! We traveled back to WI to see both sets of family and it was nice. It's nice to be home though too. Nothing beats your own bed! The turkey and everything was great! I managed to only gain a few pounds, but that doesn't mean I don't have a lot...

Hi ladies, Just wanted to pop in to say Hi and hope everyone is having a nice weekend. Hi Lisa - Where are ya girl? Hoping you're back soon with some stories to tell! Morris - Glad to hear your bleeding has stopped and everything is o.k. Praying for a healthy and uneventful rest of your...

Hey ladies, Starting the thread a day early since I have time and am awake. Sorry so quiet, but I'm getting over this nasty cold that I've had on and off for about 3-4 weeks! It finally came to a head on Friday and I've been out of commission since then. Just doing what I can to stay awake...

HI all, Hope everyone is doing great today! It's a beautiful sunny Sunday here in IA. Went to church and decided to start volunteering at the local nursing home to visit people and make sure they're being treated o.k. Gosh, I never realized how depressing it is to walk into one of those...

Hi Ladies! Starting this a tad early tonight before I go to bed! DH is in Ontario, Canada fishing his little heart out. I hope he has a good time as he won't have too many more chances for trips by himself after the baby comes! I'm sure as the week comes to an end I'll be missing him like...

Hi all, Well I just lost a HUGE post , so here goes again. I've been busy all weekend trying to get work done at the first job, so I can enjoy the week a bit more. Working the second job here at home to on the PC, so really busy. Got my hCG level at 24 DPO 1,240 so still increasing. I...

HI all, I love my protein shakes, but the back of most of the powders I use say, 'not safe for pregnancy'. Has anyone continued the use of or found a safe protein powder while pregnant? Thanks, anne

Happy Mother's day to all you mommie's! Thought I'd pop in and say Hi to everyone. Today is beautiful in Iowa. Mid 80's and breezy. I got out for a walk and will try to do Drill Max a little later. Got a bike ride in yesterday and Drill Max (legs) yesterday. Felt really good to sweat...

Hi all, I'm not pregnant yet, but am trying. Are crunches o.k. while pregnant? I've read some articles online saying not to lay the back and to have a position on all fours and pulling in. Anyone know what's o.k.? I've heard that continuing crunches are great for delivery, but what is the...

Hi all, I joined the site a couple of weeks ago quite excited with a due date in January. I just miscarried this last weekend. :( The last 4 days were really rough, but I'm getting through it day by day. I started spotting and cramping and was in for an ultrasound on Monday. I was supposed...
