    Congratulations on the pregnancy! I am not sure why I did not get stretch marks, especially considering that both my mother and sister did. I made sure to drink plenty of water, moisturize, and I kept my weight gain slow and consistent. Congratulations again!!

    Need a change of pace..How does this sound?

    Thank you for your reply:-) I am going to take your advice and pick up GS. Being that I am still in my 20's should I keep my cardio up around 60 min along with heavier weights or maybe just add on another 60 min cardio to my 3 HIIT's a week? I think what may have stopped me from seeing more...
