Weight Amounts Used and other stuff

[JulieMom]

Hi, my name is Julie and I am new to Cathe although have been working out since my son was 4 months old, just 20 months ago. I never worked out much before I got pregnant but after having my son and having quite a lot of weight on my 5'1'' frame I knew I had to make a change. I am more fit now than ever and have been using the Firm videos but now have decided to take the Cathe plunge. I have KPC and LG DVD and LOVE IT!!! I want to get PLB & PLU this summer when my b-day comes. I want to get pregnant again within the year and wondered what are all of you using for weight amounts? Are they the same as before you were pregnant? Did your doctor warn against it incase of a miscarraige? I really admire all of you for working out while pregnant, now THAT is an accomplishment.

More info:
I am on a chat site all the time on www.babybargains.com. This couple Allen and Denise write books on baby and toddler (among other things) products. They don't get any company endorsements so all the info is hands on advice. While the books are awesome I love the chat site they put together so much more. I asked Allen and Denise to start a forum on it called MommyFit where mom's can get back in shape. No one has really gotten on while pregnant. But it has been a lifeline for me and others on so many levels. Check the site out, you can find out info on strollers, car seats, baby health info, pregnancy info and more. I am JulieL there so if you see me say hi!

On the link scroll down to message boards, click, then click on Baby Bargains. The Baby 411 is good as well as the Toddler one as well.

Hi Julie, welcome to this forum. When I was pregnant I used the weights I was used to. It is adviced not to increase poundage while pregnant. Near the end of my pregnancy, I lowered weight slightly, going from a pair of 10's to 9 lbs. I am petite like you, and can't go too heavy on weight. After my 6 week postpartum check up I resumed weights at the weight I did while pregnant and within a few weeks resumed the weights I was using preprego. Hope this helps and congrats on the weight loss. By the way, my daughter is now 7 months old.
