I'm so sorry! I am so sorry for your loss!! Please give yourself permission to take your time in getting your fitness level back, okay? The CTX series, although shorter, is very high impact, and it may be overwhelming at times IMHO. Remember that ANY exercise you do is a wonderful thing! If...

I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry for your loss! This is such a hard thing to go through! I was advised to wait 2 - 3 cycles, although I've heard from many people that they started trying again right away. Since you had a D & C, I would definitely ask your doctor how long to wait and follow his/her...

Some thoughts Are you making sure that you're eating enough to compensate for the extra calories that you're burning with exercise as well as the extra you need for baby-making? :-) Exercise when you're pregnant, even at a lower intensity, tends to burn more calories because of all of the...

Can I ever relate! It always annoyed me that my husband's idea of exercise was walking to the pantry HIMSELF to get the cookie tin, and he weighed less than I did! I was THRILLED when I finally weighed less! Unfortunately it's not because I lost weight, but that he gained it. That metabolism...

Don't worry about it You didn't come across as insensitive at all. Have a great evening! Erin

Well . . . I was pregnant, but had a miscarriage 2 weeks ago. I'm still looking at pregnancy books because hope springs eternal. My husband isn't sure if he wants to try again, and we're waiting until my hormones settle down a bit before we make a decision. Right now the thought of NOT...

Congratulations! Congratulations on your wonderful news! You may want to check out the book "Your Pregnancy after 35" by Glade Curtis. I was just looking at that in the bookostore last night, and it looks excellent. Her other pregnancy books are wonderful as well! If your doctor is adamant...

This may sound strange, but . . . Since you're starting over ( I'm thinking from your phrasing that you are in the "back on the exercise wagon" category ), you might want to consider looking at VF at the pregnancy modifications section for how Mandy modified Power Max when she was expecting...

Thanks, Dawn! I was away from my computer all weekend, so I was behind in responding to this thread. :-) Paula, I just wanted to chime in that if you have any questions about making a mini topper, feel free to email me. Erin

Thanks It really does help to have all of everyone's support, and knowing that I'm not alone in this. The strange thing is, this baby would have been number 5. We hadn't planned on this, it just happened. I had already given away all of my maternity and baby stuff, because we weren't...

Thanks for all of the support The crowd here is really one in a million! Thanks so much for all of the support. It really means a lot. I'm coping, taking it one day at a time. My husband isn't sure that he wants to try again, so I may have a couple of brand new In Sport maternity workout T's...

I had a miscarriage on Christmas Day. It was very early ( 5 weeks ). I had actually only known for sure that I was pregnant for a couple of days, although I had been very suspicious for probably a week before that -- even before I missed my period. Physically I'm doing fine. Emotionally is...

Sorry I didn't see this sooner I haven't been on the forums much lately. Honeybunch is right. You can use the Rubbermaid toolbox quite nicely as a tall box. It's a pity you don't live closer to me. We could have an afternoon mini-making party! :-) Erin

Similar problem Hi, Lori! I recently went about a month and a half with no cardio allowed at all due to an injury. To keep up with my workouts, I started doing an upper/lower body split that had me working upper and lower body each 3 times a week. My jeans started getting much more snug than...

Figure 8 LAST EDITED ON Nov-12-01 AT 03:18PM (Est)[p]Sorry! I didn't mean to post twice! :-)

Figure 8 I do a figure 8 ala' Body Max and Step Works in place of the sashays and then a power 3 for the repeater. I don't know if that's more easily done in your limited space or not. Good luck! Erin

Hi! The 1st big difference is in the picture and sound quality. Some people don't see much difference, but to others ( like me ) it's a whole new plane when watching DVDs! :-) The other big difference is the ability to mix and match sections of various workouts to get just what you want that...

Hi, Rosalie! I swear those salespeople must get commissions on those blasted service plans of theirs. They push them so hard! If it makes you feel any better, I was told the exact same thing about buying a service plan for my VCR, which I've had for 3 years with no problems. I've only had my...

same recommendations except I would get Step Fit instead of Step Heat. It's my all-time favorite Cathe video! :-) But you'll love whatever you get! Erin
