Scrambled eggs, a meat, top with cheese

It looks like your goal is low carb? If so, focus on lowering that macro and the others will fall in line fairly quickly - look at what you normally eat and ask "how can I reduce the net carbs in this?". Burger - take off the bun (big mac salads are delicious!). Spaghetti - meat and sauce over a veggie (I use cubed…

Doctor recommendations are going to depend on the doctor... different ones in my practice have different opinions about weight and exercise. But I find that my female doctors who are athletes and physically fit tend to be much more lenient than the male doctors. What you actually do is going to depend on your own comfort…

Second this! I hated earbuds and headphones until my husband got me these for Christmas last year. Snug, yet comfortable fit.

Yes!!! Once you master discipline, everything else follows along!

I battled depression and suicidal tendencies for many years and medication just made me a zombie frog on a log. I took up long distance running and a Tony Robbins coaching program and between the two, I learned many things about myself and it did wonders in managing my depression. I'll never say I'm cured, but with the…

I second the Nike Swoosh bra. Its honestly the only no padding and no cup bra that I like and I own four. I'm comfortable wearing it alone or under my workout shirts. It's the only bra I've raced in for three years now. I'm a B cup with a wide torso and the band is comfortable...tight enough, but not constricting my ribs…

I'd try sirloin

Start out very slowly...like 1mph without holding on the railings, build your confidence and add speed from there. As a runner, I sometimes have to use a treadmill to get in adequate training, but I STILL have nightmares about falling (flying/rolling) off.

Since stretching and warming up helped during your run, I'd have a PT or running mechanics specialist look at the muscle tightness of that leg vs the one not giving you cramps and shin pain.

Trails and the outdoors because I feel like a kid playing in the woods intead of an adult performing exercise...it's why I run! But I do love a good powerlifting session in the gym, too.

Pizza the night before at my regular dinner time. Coffee, red bull, and muffins the morning of. Jelly beans, chips, coke, and water during.

I do my regularly planned workout, regardless. If I'm feeling sluggish I'll pep up with red bull beforehand and possibly a nap afterwards if I'm not busy. But my monthly cycle is no excuse to skip or modify my workout.

The nonpregnant version of me runs up to a 10k fasted...as long as I do it on the morning. For evening runs, I eat my normal lunch and then dinner when I get home from running after work. Marathons require carbs, red bull, and coffee beforehand and Gatorade and snacks during. Pregnant version has to have food on the…

The American Pregnancy Association currently suggests 300 extra calories per day during the second and third trimesters. I know friends who have barely been able to eat during part of their first trimester, so I'd personally suggest not actively trying to lose weight unless your doctor suggests it.

Protein powder!

One rest day is for napping and chores. One rest day is for hanging out with my husband.

Eating bacon every morning would be ideal... but I only eat it freshly cooked and don't feel like making time to cook and clean every day!

This! And if you have goals that others in your running community are meeting and you're not, the more experienced runners are (in my experience) always willing to share tips and encourage you.

Core exercises are not going to burn fat around your middle. However, it's important to learn to brace your core and strengthen your core. Think about pulling your belly button in towards your spine while continuing to breath normally or tilting your pelvic bones inward...then maintain that while performing the exercise.…

I love lean cuisines as an afternoon snack. 200-300 calories that are much more filling than fruit, chips, crackers, nuts, etc ... My favs are the spaghetti and the ravioli.

Isopure Whey Isolate...nothing but protein and you can add it to any flavor of liquid and some foods.

I've always used isopure whey isolate, unflavored. Zero carbs per serving and versatile enough to add to almost anything.

The cardio side will log your calories burned. I find them to be negligible in the long run and don't log weight lifting unless I'm in one of the MFP Challenges that counts exercise logged.

I don't calorie count anymore, although I did for weight loss. I found it wasn't necessary to count calories as a long distance runner because my output was so high anyway. Having gotten back into weightlifting lately and also gotten preggo, I'm logging to ensure adequate protein intake for self and interior side kick.

I vary between trails and asphalt...have never really ran on a track and just get nothing out of a treadmill except irritation. I find the trail to be beneficial, even to my road races because it builds up my stabilizer muscles and requires me to pick my feet up even when I'm tired. It's also easier on my joints.

Weekly under the same conditions. When I had a scale, it was every Saturday morning right after my morning pee. Now it's every Friday evening at the gym

Advantage - I dont drink plan coffee so cutting out coffee cuts down a host of calories for me. Disadvantages - headaches, grogginess, sluggishness, lack of focus, irritation, constipation, the urge to go around ounhing people for no reason, decreased endurance in long runs

Eat at maintenance calories. Lift? Cycle? Bike? Or pick an exercise you enjoy!

Eat them!!!! Alternatively, bank them for a couple of days and have a treat at the end of the week.
