Andrea, From what I understand ,plantar fasciitis is when the tissues and muscles connecting your arch and your heel are overly stressed and eventually tear . Or these tissues tear and then form scar tissue that impedes the flexability of the foot, which of course makes everything even...

Another plug for the Dansko clogs. They feel better on my feet than my crosstrainers with the custom made orthodics! They really support your arches and for me, that has been key in my recovery. I am still battling plantar facciitis (since May of this year). I was in physical therapy for 3...

My DVD's are all doing fine on my Sony DVP-S560D and Sony Playstation. All blenders are working great. Are your DVD players older? We got ours about 2.5 years ago, so I don't know if that helps. Maybe you can contact Sony and see if they have any suggestions. Good luck, Becky

I would very much encourage getting new shoes immediately!! And even orthotics. I have extremely bad plantar fasciitis from a combination of overuse injury and sciatica. I am now in physical therapy 2 times a week and had new orthotics made by my podiatrist. It's devastating when plantar...

I have such a hard time finding bras that fit well and are comfortable (I'm a 36A-very broad back and small breasts). But the other day I was shopping and on a whim tried on some bras from the Gap. I love love them!!! They are the most comfortable bras I have ever had on. The quality seems...

Hi everyone, I found Cathe through Collage Videos, like so many of you, back in 1991. My life hasn't been the same since (in the best sort of way!!) Great thread!! Becky

Hi Rhonda, I live in Indianapolis. This is such a good idea-a great way to find Catheites near by!! Becky:-)

Hi Adrienne. I feel your pain! After I had my second child, the same thing happened to me. I finally broke down and saw my doctor with this problem. He drew some blood and gave me a TSH test to check my thyroid. My thyroid tests showed that I was hypothyroid, which means that my thyroid...

Hi Paula, I also need good arch support for my running and aerobics shoes. I find that Asics are the best for my feet. They are best for people with high arches. I also have narrow feet and find that they fit me well. The cushioning also seems good- my feet used to hurt too until I...

Hi everyone. I wanted to announce that my son, Reece Patrick , was born on Oct. 11. He weighed 7 lbs. 13 oz and was 20 in long. The birth went beautifully (only in labor for 5 hours and three pushes and he was out!!). Everything is going wonderfully. He is such a good baby (God owed me...

Hi Gina, I have not seen the ACOG personally, but my OBGYN has told me that it was revised a few years ago and that the 140 rule is outdated. Like Sheila and Cathe, she told me to listen to my body and do the talk test or perceived exertion test. Good luck. Becky

That's fantastic Susan. I can't wait to pick up my copy. Congratulations!!!! Becky

RE: I forgot to ask him that!! That is very true. My doctor has tested my TSH every other month during this pregnancy. Also, I had my TSH tested the month before my husband and I started trying to become pregnant because I know that it can greatly affect conception. So much to think about...

RE: I forgot to ask him that!! That's a good point. Any big change in the body can affect your thyroid. I discovered that I was hypothyroid after being pregnant. Interesting. I'm at the end of my third pregnancy now and my doctor has monitored my thyroid the whole time. I guess if it gets...

Hi Aimee, I'm so glad that your doctor discovered what's wrong. I, too, am hypothyroid and felt so much better once I started with synthroid (I have since switched to Levoxyl, which is just the same as Synthroid, just cheaper). I lost all of my extra weight, which was about 10-15 lbs, in less...

Me too!!! I have 2 more weeks at the most. If he doesn't come before Oct. 11, I'm being induced due to the size of my other daughters. I'm so excited, and his birth then won't interfere with my older daughter's bday (Oct. 14), much to her delight! Good luck to everybody. The last 4 weeks are...

Happy Birthday Cathe! Have a wonderful day. Becky

Hi Renee. Congrats on your 6th. WOW!!! The only thing that I would strongly suggest is that you eat a little something before your workout. What you are feeling may be due to low blood sugar ( I know that when mine is down and I'm trying to workout I feel lousy!). My favorite thing to eat...

I would recommend the Crosstrain Express, also. Especially as a new where time is of the essence!!! All the tapes are less than an hour and you get cardio and weights all together. Cathe is also releasing her Abs Greatest Hits soon. That may be helpful for getting just pregnant abs back into...
