Welcome to the group. Your potential girlfriend is lucky to have someone who is interested in learning about her disease. One resource I find helpful to answer a lot of questions is http://arthritisinsight.com/ The links on the left hand side lead to a lot of good summary information. Good luck and God bless.

Thanks for letting me join!!The woman I want to be my girlfiend just told me that she has RA. I'm pretty ignorant on the whole thing. I've read a few of the posts and believe this group will be very helpful for me in understanding her situation.-GEMRYILER

Welcome to the group Anela!

Great time to start motivating yourself - before the

baby is born! When is your due date?

What kind of, if any, workouts are you used to doing, and

have you been doing any exercise through your pregnancy?

My girls are all grown up now, but I think staying home

to raise them is a very good thing. I'm glad you're able

to do that.

thanks for letting me join

Hi there ,

Much thanks for allowing me to join this group. I'd like to

introduce myself to everyone as well. I am 22 years old and I'm

currently 7 months pregnant. I have 3 year old and 19 month old,

who are both girls. I stay at home and take care of my kids. My

main reason to join this group was to go some where and have

motivation in getting back my pre-pregnant body....when I do have

the chance. Well that's all for now.

Once again, , thank you for approving my request to join this

group.

much aloha,

Anela

yes... and unfortunately there are some real duds out there!

but if you go with reputable instructors then you will normally get some

good stuff.

there really is alot to choose from. when in doubt, read the reviews,

watch clips and rent, if possible, before you buy!

heh... i have to put everything away or the kiddies get into it. luckily

i have alot of drawers and cupboards to hold all of my gear,

tapes/dvds. my dumbells and stability ball are the only things that are

sitting out -- and i would put them away as well if i could -- because my

workout room is our family's dining room! and im bummed because my

husband is going to be buying a table and chairs and putting them in my

workout space. i think that i will have to relocate the kids toys out of

their playroom and use that area. but i like using the dining room because

it has a ceiling fan... wah!.

Hi Anela,

Welcome!!! I have a 14 month old daughter - I work full-time but I

telecommute part of the time so I could be home w/ my DD. I'll help out any

way I can w/ your post-partum shape up plan - I worked out during my entire

pregnancy - and it made a huge difference in how I felt - (are you currently

working out?) And, I tried to get right back on track as soon as possible -

but having been through it before, you know that isn't always an easy task!

LOL!

Anyway, feel free to ask any questions, etc. And just wanted to say " hi! "

Hi ,

My due date is dec. 27.....right around christmas, i'm hoping it'll

be before christmas.

I'm used to different sorts of exercises. Tae Bo, Dance exercises,

running, exercise machines at the gym, light weight lifting and

mostly exercise videos that i can use at home. Though I haven't

been doing much exercises through out my pregnancy, but have

recently ordered a pre-natal/post-natal exercise dvd, that should be

here soon.

Hi ,

Thanks for the welcome.

Wow taking three classes back to back, how was that? I know that

since my body has changed a lot physically, compared to 4 years ago,

I know that I'd get tired in a heart beat.

For now I will stick to home workouts, because I'm totally shy about

my body. I'm just hoping that I will be blessed once again, to lose

all the baby pounds as quick as I had with my previous kids. Just

need much motivation.

I do second that home workouts and looking how ever you want. It's

also good that you don't have to worry about other people looking at

you or you feeling weird in a gym full of nice toned people.

aloha,

Anela

Hi Carolyn,

Glad to meet you. Thanks for the congrats on the pregnancy.

I haven't been really working out during my pregnancy. Though I

recently bought a pre-natal/post-natal dvd, which I hope will be

here soon....I bought it off of the internet. I know that I need to

exercise, my legs are getting a little extra fat...which is making

it hard for me. I have to buy more maternity jeans because of it.

aloha,

Hi Donna,

I wish that I was able to work, I was working up until a few months

ago. I had problems with my pregnancy and working. So I decided to

leave work and stay at home, making sure that my baby will be

healthy and will be born.

Thanks for offering help for my post-partum shape up...I know that I

will need much help with that. I don't want to do anything wrong

that would hurt me...which I know that I have with my previous

pregnancy. Don't want to make that mistake again.

Yes it isn't easy getting things back on track. Especially with

another addition in your life. I do hope that things will get

easier soon, but with life the way it is right now....I will need a

miracle. My two daughters are so demanding of my time, and get

jealous very easily.

Well thanks for the welcome. I need to run, my daughter isn't

listening.

much aloha,

Anela
