I would very much like another CTX series with heavy weights. It would be even better if some of the cardio segments were low impact (but still high intensity).

RE: The death of the sitcom & a few other thoughts on T... Not to be ornery, but I couldn't disagree more. I think TV is in a new Golden Age. The Wire, Gray's Anatomy, 24, Lost--the list goes on. Ugly Betty is fantastic. And how smart is The Office? Then you have the Daily Show, Colbert...

Rachel, You sounds exactly like me when Maddie was 4 months. With all due respect to those who distrust CIO, I believe CIO works and doesn't cause any harm. In fact, I think it is the best method for many babies (certainly not all) because it works so quickly (one night for us when we used...

>Here I am, a lawyer, about to infringe on Dr. Furhman's >copyright!! I'm a lawyer too, and I have a feeling that Dr. F would not mind a bit with all the raves he's getting here! Also, registering on his website costs, but he answers your questions quickly and thoroughly. I love it...

I took several around days 27 and 28 and they were negative. But my period was never late--only sometimes early--so I thought it was strange when it didn't come. I tried again on day 29 and bingo. After several negatives I was pretty casual about the test (didn't even tell my DH I was doing...

I want to thank everyone for their support and encouragement. I have to get rid of this all-or-nothing mentality and just do something regularly. When I miss a few days, I think "What's the point?" and then miss some more. That kind of thinking is my undoing. So I think what I will do is...

Hi-- I had a baby 9 months ago. I was so good about working out while pg, but since them it's been sporadic at best. The problem is that every time I start back, something comes up and I miss a week, and then it's like I am starting over. It's not just having a baby, which is tough, it's...

Thanks, everyone, for your responses and encouragement. Like a lot of you, I have lost almost all of the weight and that didn't really take that long or even much effort. But my shape is just kinda funny and my stomach is soooo squishy. I can live with it--not like I am scheduled for a SI...

I'm 5.5 months post-partum. I am close to my pre-pg weight, but nothing looks right. My pants fit (yay!), but my tops don't due to an unsightly roll around my waist. I'm eating fairly clean (Eat to Live guidelines about 90% of the time), but I still look pretty awful, to be honest. Is it...

No, vegans don't eat fish BUT there's room for fish in Fuhrman's plan. He advocates minimizing animal products as much as possible and maximizing unprocessed plant based foods. I'm certainly not strict--I still use fat free milk in my coffee and am not yet willing to swear off ice cream for...

I am just so pleased with this eating plan I had to share my experience. I bought the book two weeks ago Sunday and started eating the way Furhman advocates the next day. I have been less than strict--following the 90% rule (still a little fat free milk in my coffee, low fat rather than fat...

Thanks! This will come in handy as I am happily coloring again my hair after the nine month hiatus. Man, that was brutal!

RE: Marleys Mom... We've been trying CIO for naps the past few days and it is going pretty well--Maddie whimpers and fusses for about 15-30 minutes before falling asleep. So far, none of that awful wailing I dreaded. In fact, it's no worse than the complaining she does when I rock her to...
