August mommas
Any other August mommas on here yet? I haven't had my first appt yet, but I should be due August 1. This is baby #2 for me. I'm starting this pregnancy about 20 pounds lighter than where I started with my first. I also gained about 60 pounds with my first, and I'm shooting for only gaining 15 pounds with this one since I'm…

Pregnancy acne
I had horrible acne with my son, and it looks like I'm gonna have the same problem again this time :( . Guess I'm just doomed to be the zit-faced pregnant girl. Blah...I never have issues when I'm not pregnant! I didn't find anything that helped at all last time, so I thought I'd see if y'all have found anything that…

How far along and what type of exercise are you doing?
That's pretty much it. Just curious. How far along are y'all and what type of exercise are you doing at this point? Has it changed from earlier in the pregnancy?

Active friends who lift?
I just posed a question to my friends on here about weight lifting, and then realized that I have very few friends (if any) that lift on a regular basis, despite their general awesomeness! So I'm looking for friends who lift, and hopefully who also log in most days. I'm here every day. I would consider myself…

Exercises to strengthen quads?
Long story short: I've been having some knee problems (not pain, just weird sounds), I saw my doctor today, and he says it's because my quads are weak. So I'm now looking for exercises to strengthen my quads. I already do squats and deadlifts 3x per week (3x8-10). For starters, should I maybe drops the number of reps to…

Anybody interested in a 30 Day Shred/C25K combo?

Critique my strength routine?
Anybody wanna weigh in on my strength routine before I get too far into it? I did it for the first time this morning. I did 2 sets of each move, 10-12 reps (ab stuff I did more like 20 reps), but I plan to increase that to 3 sets each from now on. I'm doing what I think are called supersets, mostly just because I hate…

Calculating TDEE based on calories in + weight lost
I'm trying to get a better idea of my TDEE based on the number of calories I've eaten vs. the amount of weight I've lost. I just bought my food scale 3 weeks ago, so I'm only counting the last 21 days. I'm mostly just making sure I'm doing it right for now, and I'll recalculate once I have more data. Here's what I've come…

Proper warm-up for lifting?
After reading another thread on here, I'm a little worried that I'm not warming up properly before lifting weights. Also, I'm now thinking that I just need to do my weight routine twice a week instead of 3 times a week. I typically do squats, deadlifts, bench press, barbell row, and overhead press, maybe a few others…

C-section scar hurting during exercise
I've noticed the last few days after doing some of the programs on my elliptical that my c-section scar hurts (tingles, stings, feels like it's stretching apart) while the elliptical is at a high incline. Anybody else experienced this during exercise? I assume it's probably normal and nothing to worry about. Just looking…
