    sad

    I was diagnosed w/ an ectopic pregnancy at my ultrasound yesterday ;( They gave me metho. to hopefully stop the embryo from growing and be reabsorbed, so I'm sitting here waiting for the process to begin. I'm fairly uncomfortable, I feel a lot of abdominal pressure which I attributed to gas...

    New here w/ ?

    Hello, I just found out last Monday that I'm pregnant, DH and I are thrilled though completely shocked! I'm approx. 5-6 weeks, due in early Feb (seems so far away! I'm sure it will fly by though). I've had to have some hcg/prog. testing due to some bleeding (probably implantation) and...

    donating blood

    I know strenuous exercise is to be avoided after donating blood but what about before donating? I was hoping to do Butts & Guts today but wonder if I'd be better off doing a something lighter, maybe a cardio w/o? Anyone have experience w/ this? I know about drinking extra fluids and eating...

    Anyone have a grind & brew coffee maker...

    ...that you love? We currently have a cuisinart b&g but it's never worked right (I should've returned it but threw the box away), it drips sticky coffee down onto the burner from the grinder - it's such a pain to clean. I ordered a "kitchen essentials" g&b from Overstock but that was defective...

    March of the Penguins

    I went to see this movie a few days ago and it was so cute! I keep thinking about it. It's truly amazing what Emperor penguins go through for their babies and the bond they share with their mate. I highly recommend seeing it but would warn against bringing young kids, its very much a...

    Cedie's looking lean!

    Well, she's always been lean but she seems more so since the last series. Did any of you notice this or am I just imagining it? I know video cameras can alter one's size but the rest of the crew seem the same size in your pictures as they do in the videos. Great pictures everyone...

    Staggering calorie diet?

    It's the diet where you eat low calories one day, high the next... Does anyone know what it's called? I'm thinking it would be a good topic for a research paper/presentation that I have to do but I need to buy the book for it. Is there a website? Thanks in advance :)

    My ceiling's too low for HSC!

    It's not that big a deal but I can't do the leg press with shoulder press in HSC because my hands hit the ceiling. It's a normal ceiling height and I'm not that tall (5'4"). Anyone else with this problem?

    sound fluctuations in HSC?

    Has anyone else had problems with the sound on High Step Challenge? I think it may be just my DVD since I haven't seen any posts about it but I just wanted to check here first before contacting SNM. Basically the sound is normal and then suddenly it's very low and muffled sounding (both music...

    Can anyone give me some recommendations for acne treatments? I can't use Proactiv or anything with benzoile (sp?) peroxide in it as I'm allergic to it.
