| Fitness | Urban Iron Class in lieu of weight lifting??? | Oct 22 2009 21:51 (UTC) |

You have a good point! I did used to get my weight lifting workout done in about 30-45 mins and I was doing NROLFW. I wasn't losing weight so I stopped to refocus on my food intake and cardio. I do know the importance of resistance training. I just wanted to try the class I guess and I was hoping for good results. I'll let you know tomorrow. Maybe I need to go back to NROLFW...I feel like I'm a newbie again after this pregnancy but I'm not. I just need to focus but for some reason I can't. + |

| Weight Loss | FINALLY! I lost 5-6 pounds! Thank Goodness! | Sep 29 2009 14:01 (UTC) |

Thanks everyone! Just like the other poster I too am more concerned with weight loss right now! Once I hit my goal weight I will go back to that program, but for now I'm just going to do the weightlifting that I was doing last year when I was at my goal weight. I'm going back to what worked for me before. :) |

| Weight Loss | HELP! Working out alot but no weight loss! WTF? | Sep 17 2009 15:24 (UTC) |

That's what I thought as far as calories. I have been on this site for a few years now and I was logging and counting everything before I got pregnant and my daily limit was around 1300-1400 on days I didn't spin. I got down to 125 and that felt great. This book I have NROLFW is telling me to eat more calories than all the other equations are. I'm confused. I think I need to do another Own Index reading on my Polar. But regardless if I'm burning that much and logging calories the own index shouldn't really matter right? |

I must admit that I haven't been counting calories as I should and I don't think I'm eating enough. I have started the New Rules Of Lifting for Women program which uses a different formula than this site does and it says that I'm supposed to be eating about 2000 calories. More on spinning days. Even though I haven't been counting as I should be and I don't really drink water I still feel that I should be losing given all the calories I've been burning. I have a HRM with watch and I can see just how much I have burned. I don't think my thyroid is out of whack because I had that checked in May, 5 months after having a baby. |

| Fitness | Rollerblading/Inline Skating with Stroller? | Sep 05 2009 13:59 (UTC) |
|
So you are saying that if I buy a Jogging Stroller then I should be good? I'm thinking I may not buy one until the Spring because I won't be doing much rollerblading in the Winter, unless I hurry and buy one now. I could get a few more weeks of skating in before it gets cold here. |

I don't have a pair but I wouldn't mind having a pair. I bought several pairs of VS workout pants during their semi-annual sale. I think those make my butt look pretty good as well. I say if you can afford it then go for it. You might as well look good while working out! IMO I would! |

| Pregnancy & Parenting | Does your stomach ever get flat after pregnancy? | Jul 24 2009 17:53 (UTC) |

I'm wonder the same damn thing. I had to have a c section and I hate the way my stomach looks now 6 months PP. I'm very seriously considering surgery. I'm going to start doing my weighted hula hoop again to see what that does but I feel in my heart that I will never have my flat stomach back unless I have the surgery. :( |

Thank you all. You all are so sweet. She's been at her Grandma's house all week. I can't believe I allowed her to be gone from me that long but it's been a nice break. I finally got the chance to relax and do some things for me! Us new Mommys all need that! Plus she is having a lot of fun with her Grandma! |

| The Lounge | Why are audiobooks on iTunes so da*n expensive?? WOW!!! | Jul 12 2009 14:29 (UTC) |

I do love books but sometimes it is easier to listen to an audiobook. I love to listen to them in the car to and from work or just anytime in the car. I used to think they were stupid until I tried it one day. I am aware of the library too because I've used the library to check out audiobooks many times. To the question of why would I only listen to it once...well it's like a movie to me. I only watch a movie once and I only read a book once. I've never been able to read a book more than once. I don't see the point of rereading it because I already know what is going to happen. The same deal with an audiobook. Why would I listen to it more than once. |

| Fitness | Water Addiction?? Anyone else?? | Jul 11 2009 16:13 (UTC) |

I would love to say that I'm addicted to water. I can only drink it when I'm working out, especially in Spin class. Consider yourself lucky because water does the body good. |

| Fitness | PLEASE Help me find SPIN SHOES!! | Jul 10 2009 14:27 (UTC) |

Maybe not but this girl in my Spin class said she got her off of Ebay by searching for "spd shoes". I did find some but not that many. You are right though I need to go and try on some first. I just do not want to spend that much money if there is a way that I can get them much cheaper. |

| The Lounge | News Media's coverage of Michael Jackson is driving me bonkers ::RANT:: | Jul 08 2009 16:13 (UTC) |

Very well said! I agree! Sick of the MJ bashing. There is no proof of him being a pedophile. People in this country/world are so cruel. I wonder how they would feel if they had been accused of a heinous crime like that and they were indeed innocent. How would that feel? I couldn't imagine. No wonder he was so depressed and withdrawn. |

how can I join this group. I started to read this book last year before getting pregnant. Now I feel like I forgotten how to lift because it's been over a year now. I used to be able to squat my own weight just about but now I highly doubt that. I need to get back to lifting like that but it's hard when your time is limited now that I have a baby. |

I remember having a big poster of him in a yellow cardigan sweater with a yellow bow tie. He was the cutest thing I'd ever seen and I too had the biggest crush on him. I just remember I had the thriller album and I was so happy that it had words and I would just sit and play it and sing the songs over and over. I'm doing that now for the past week since his passing. I feel like I'm in the 80's again but now only I'm sad because he's no longer here. I'm even more sad that I never got to see him in concert. Stupid me. I should have gone to a concert. |

They look like their clothes are of really good quality but I'm working to lose the remaining 20 pounds of my pregnancy weight so it may not be wise to spend tha tmuch on pants right now because I'm sure to drop a size or two once the weight is lost and it WILL be lost!! |

Yeah I've heard of Lululemon but they are quite expensive. I wish I could access VS from my work computer but it is restricted, otherwise I would be shopping as we speak, but I do have a blackberry but it's not the same. I'm going to check out Lululemon again. Do they ever have sales? Yeah right now VS is in it's semi annual sale and you can get those workout bras pretty cheap, well cheaper than normal. :)
Edited: Wow! I just went to the lululemon site and that stuff is ridiculously pricey! I do remember now that I love the look of their clothes. Is there a place where you can find it cheaper? |

What the heck? I said my weight was depressing. What does that have to do with me being able to afford VS. Yes I splurged a bit this weekend. It was my first time having some free time to myself and I enjoyed it. I also got a massage something I haven't done in ages. I don't see anything wrong with it. I don't usually buy stuff like that. |

| The Lounge | Have you ever had a hot prickly feeling? | Jun 18 2009 17:34 (UTC) |

I think the Xelerate is the cause. I think maybe that I didn't have these side effects before because there is a new formulation that they are marketing. I don't know why I didn't experience them before getting pregnant. Maybe my body has a different chemical make up now. I also during the same time the prickly heat started had my hand break out in hives and my pinky swole up and is still swollen now. Now my hand is very dry like I've been burned or something. I have been researching the side effects of naicin and I came up with the same thing. WOW! |
