I am wondering if it is still okay for me to drink Designer Protein shakes while pregnant. I'm also having big trouble wanting to eat anything. This is a common first trimester complaint, right? I'm loading up on Shredded Wheat and those plain rye crackers because that's the only thing I want...

Hi everyone, I apologize to those of you who have read this on VF, but I thought I'd tell everyone here, too. I'm about eight weeks pregnant with my first, and my husband and I are very excited. It comes at somewhat of an unplanned time (he starts law school in a week), but this is what both...

I have a dilemma. My husband has gotten me very paranoid about walking by myself. Even though we live in a very safe town in a safe neighborhood, I cannot bring myself to go outside in the morning and walk. Before I was married (almost a year ago!!), I got up at least three mornings a week...

Okay, I know this doesn't have too much to do with fitness, but I'm going to make it relate. My husband and I just bought a new car. Well, it's a 1998, but it's new to us. I'm very nervous about this because he's starting law school in August, and I don't make a doctor's salary Money will...

I know this has been asked before, but I can't find it. For all of you who have the Advanced Live tapes, which one do you like best and why? I'm thinking about getting one (only one because of $), and I want to get the most bang for my buck. I know I don't want the one that is mostly...

Hi Cleda, I've been reading your check-ins with great interest because I am starting a Firm rotation. For anyone has seen my other posts at VF and Firmbelievers, please ignore my many posts on this topic. I'm wondering if you're following the 90 day rotation calendar and how you're deciding...

I cannot figure this out, so someone please help my poor brain. Emily

Hi Cathe and everyone else, I hope I can explain this so it makes sense. I just bought Reebok DMX aerobic shoes, and for the past couple of days, the left shoe has been bothering my ankle. The shoe digs into my ankle on the inside, and it makes it so I can't even keep the shoes on. Well, I...

in my legs near my ankles, but I'm not sure if it's shin splints or not. It's on the lower inside of my legs kind of right above my ankles. It's not directly on my shins but to the inside of them. It hurts basically all the time, whether I'm doing step, walking, or anything else (except...

Does anyone out there know of really good aerobics shoes with good support? I used to be able to find really good high top Nikes just for step that seemed to have lots of support. I don't have the best arches, and I seem to be really prone to shin splints. To help these problems, I have to...

Hi Cathe, I just recently started using your tapes, and they're wonderful. My gym doesn't offer too many step classes, so your videos save me. I am frustrated though because I am not making any progress. Although I have about 16-17% bodyfat, I just keep getting thicker, it seems. I do some...
