during first months I would do push-ups when my baby was doing tummy time - makes tummy time easier for the little one. and after some time they join you and do push-ups with you :smile: baby press used to be a favourite at the beginning too

found this chart regarding what grows when http://www.glowm.com/resources/glowm/cd/pages/v2/ch013/framesets/002f.html. there's also a table (in kg)I ---- IIIII Fetus0 ---1.0 --- 3.4 Placenta0 -- 0.3 ---0.6 Amniotic fluid0 --- 0.4 ----1.0 Fetal total0 ----1.75.0 Uterus0.3--- 0.81.0 Breasts0.1 ---0.30.5 Blood…

I'm planning to so looking for info I found this group http://www.myfitnesspal.com/forums/show/9465-body-beast-for-women the related facebook group is more active though than the group forum here

sounds yum. I also like salmon baked with garlic, herbs and sesame seeds.

in one bra? no idea. separately, I heard good words about HotMilk and Ewa Michalak http://www.ewa-michalak.pl/eng_m_Nursing-bras-154.html (she has her own size scheme) for nursing, and for sports I can recommend Shock Absorber, the only shop I'm aware of that stocks them and has a US site is figleaves.com.

I still miss Leslie Winkle

as other people already said, CLE is definitely focused on resistance training. weight training is 3 times a week, for the type of exercises see the log book http://www.docstoc.com/docs/5106827/ChaLEAN-Workout-Log-Sheets. the other 2 days are cardio/abs and cardio/stretching.

my bf and all his running friends use Garmin (chest strap + wristwatch) forerunner series, and they all seem happy I have Zephyr HxM strap that syncs via bluetooth with my Android phone and with the Digifit app which in turn syncs with MFP.. not sure about Zephyr or Digifit - iPhone compatibility, but Android phone - Polar…

the beast is in the mail. excited but wary - will I manage with normal dumbbells with plates, or will I lose too much time on changing weights?

for me digifit (app version called spinning + zephyr HxM) seems about right, or at least in linewith calories calculations obtained by inputting average bpm into the calculators on http://www.shapesense.com/fitness-exercise/calculators/heart-rate-based-calorie-burn-calculator.aspx and…

I started with Jillian, then I did Chalean Extreme twice and now I'm rotating again some Jillian workouts while hesitating what should be next - Body Beast, P90X or Les Mills Pump. or maybe venture outside of Beach Body and try Cathe Friedrich... there is also an incredible amount of titles and reviews here…

also, when you say the scale is not moving, can you add since when? from Nov 2011? or do you refer to a shorter period?

the muscles that are underneath the bingo wings are triceps, so tricep kickbacks, tricep dips, tricep pushups. don't neglect the rest of the arms and shoulders (bicep curls, overhead presses, etc)

I started my adventures in strength training with Chalean Extreme DVD, it's one of older beachbody programmes. you need dumbbells, preferably adjustable, or (a set of) resistance band(s). it's 3 months, resistance workouts 3x week, plus cardio, abs and stretch for the remaining days.

yumminess. bump for saving

30FF-32F and using shockabsorber too. to add to the list of online retailers, http://www.figleaves.com has both US and UK (serving whole Europe, I think) sites.

I use Zephyr HxM HRM with Digifit app that can sync with MFP (but I use it only in the gym, so no idea how it works with gps if at all). This app also works with Polar Bluetooth + (I think that's how it's called - it is a specific 'uncoded' HRM that works with many different apps) and some other HRMs. Before that I used…

I quit nearly 2 years ago. I was afraid of gaining weight too so I googled a bit and found MFP. First week I felt nauseated every time I ate something but later on I started feeling hungry. I used Nicorette inhalers, as it not only helped for nicotine cravings but having something in my mouth stopped me from eating all the…

if you're thinking of one with the gps (for outdoor running/cycling), consider also garmin - very popular among my running friends. many gym goers use polar HRMs and are happy with it. but if you want to go for combo smartphone+HRM belt (+maybe an app connected to MFP), in my opinion zepyr hxm is much better and more…

if you travel a lot, consider bands. it's easier to fit a band than a kettlebell into your luggage

I decided on doing a 5th week in such a situation

for Android? try the 'daily workout' series, https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=Daily+Workout+Apps,+LLC, or passion4proffession 8 min abs and 8 min chest.

and let's not forget the TWINKIE DIET! :P http://edition.cnn.com/2010/HEALTH/11/08/twinkie.diet.professor/index.html "Mark Haub, a professor of human nutrition at Kansas State University, (..) on his "convenience store diet," (...) shed 27 pounds in two months.(..) he followed a basic principle of weight loss: He consumed…

If you want to connect the HRM to your phone, I also recommend Zephyr HxM. I had to replace the belt (not the transmitter) after nearly 2 years of daily use., but otherwise it's great. I also tried Polar Bluetooth with my phone but I had a lot of problems with weak signal and short battery life, so out of those two I'd…

have you tried the other Chalean ab circuits (they come on additional/de luxe DVDs)? one uses a swiss ball. also P90X comes well recommended. and maybe you could substitute from time to time with some Fitness Blender vids (although it might be less demanding than CLX Abs), they include standing abs too, see this…

overall good advice, but regarding calcium, it seems that the calcium supplements somehow are not as good for everybody as once thought :( there is an article on medscape (free with registration) http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/780132 that summarises a new study from JAMA (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23381719)…

eating at deficit will result in losing weight. simple. the rest is pretty much a collection of ways to make eating at deficit easier (like eating more protein to make one feel full longer). http://edition.cnn.com/2010/HEALTH/11/08/twinkie.diet.professor/index.html

found a nice review of scientific studies, not filtered through media angles http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2864136/ it seems that coffee alone will not hinder your weight loss, but if you use them, count the calories from added stuff (sugar, milk, cream...). this is the relevant fragment: 3.2. Coffee and Tea…

I use it with Polar Wearlink+, and one of the Android apps. no problems now. Not sure about Garmin HRM, does it have a replaceable battery? My Polar does and the one in original package was faulty, but replacing it solved the problem.
