Mac and Cheese is absolutely gross unless you add either ketchup, tuna, or peas. The ketchup on its own. The tuna and peas are good together, though.

I WOULD still be going to the gym daily if they weren't all ordered closed here.

I think I may actually hit my running goal! In fact, I think I have a good chance of surpassing it I am sooo excited! This is my third time joining these and will be my first time actually hitting it. AND I did it four months pregnant. I don't know if I'm just feeling really good about myself and ambitious, but I think I…

Coffee would have the opposite effect on your body. It doesn't constipate you. Are you entirely plant based, as in vegan, or are you vegetarian? Just curious because if you ARE consuming dairy, that could be the issue. Or, like the poster above me stated, you could be lacking in fiber or fat. Sometimes our bodies just get…

You would track it as though it is food. It doesn't really matter where you put it, as far as breakfast, lunch, snacks, etc. The only thing tracked as being liquid consumed, is water intake.

I'm in my second trimester. First trimester, I would say fatigue definitely. Second trimester? I forget that I'm pregnant. I just feel normal.

It hasn't really. I'm a Corrections Officer, so I don't have the option to stay home. The gym is closed, which is a huge bummer. It just perplexes me that we need to close the gym down, where most people are SUPER health conscious and its required to wipe equipment down before/after use, not to mention there's hardly large…

So, I entered a RunBet. I went running, my longest run this year (was pretty proud of myself, although I accidentally logged it as a walk.) I saved my run, exited the app, and walked home to cool down. Only for my run to disappear from the app because apparently cell towers went down? Well, awesome. So, I went running…

Hate it Shoveling snow?

I REALLY like the couch to 5k programs. They start you with intervals of running and walking, and gradually work you up to longer running intervals and then just running. You can repeat a week if you need to, I have many times. I started with that and can now run 3, 4, 5 miles at a time without stopping. The one I use is…

For cardio, I've just been running outside as I always have been. As far as my gym being closed, honestly I have been a little lost. There's a couple people I follow on instagram that posted a bunch of at-home body weight stuff or dumbbell variants for different muscle groups. Its certainly no squat rack, bench, or cable…

I get to spend more quality time with my husband because his police academy is on hold. Before, with me working 12 hour shifts and him gone at the academy all day, we hardly got to spend actual time together. We've been taking the dogs on walks together, been more intimate, have been able to enjoy some in-home dates and…

I agree with everyone else to keep it to reasonable hours. Maybe talk to your neighbor or leave her a nice little note so she at least knows what's going on and doesn't think you are going to fall through the floor. Is there anywhere outdoors you could do it? Inside is fine, I just know myself in that I would prefer to be…

I've done the math, and I only need to run 7 more times this month to hit my goal. That's 7 runs in 13 days. Totally doable. And that's even if I only run 3 miles at a time. I'm going to shoot higher and try to beat my goal, but I would be happy just to make it. This is my second time joining this challenge and this would…

Can't do completely nude. I just find it to be uncomfortable, and I worry about having to run out of my house in the event of a fire in the middle of the night, or having to face an intruder like that. I usually sleep in undies and a t shirt. And socks. I cannot fall asleep without socks on. My feet are always freezing.

From my own research, you need zero extra calories during the first trimester. 100-200 extra on top of maintenance for second trimester, and 300-400 extra during the third trimester. I would definitely talk to your doctor if you DO become pregnant, though. They would best be able to help you. I'm in my 2nd trimester and…

I too am very curious what a night goat is.

Never. I've only been with two men. The first one, was a lazy, slimy alcoholic pothead. Nothing against people that smoke. I have friends that do and they aren't like that. But he perpetuates the stereotype. Hardly ever showered, his teeth were falling out of his head, couldn't hold a job to save his life, constantly…

I've only tried their leggings and I LOVE them. But I used to be a 38DD and had the same issue. My favorite sports bras ever for running were high impact, zip up the front. JC Penney's sells my favorites (I haven't bought any in a year or so though, so hopefully they still have them), and Walmart has a similar kind that I…

First thought is just to simply forgive yourself <3 you're human, you won't be perfect 100% of the time Just pick back up tomorrow. Each day is a fresh start. In fact, each moment can be a fresh start. If you're trying to actively socially distance yourself, maybe think of some hobbies that you can do if you find yourself…

I'm 5'6" I lost 15-20 (unhealthy, ED) Gained about 60 (also unhealthy, ED) And then lost 60 (healthy, through MFP.) I'm back up about 16 lbs. I gained about 8 over the holidays and was in the process of losing it when I found out I was pregnant. I'm 17 weeks pregnant tomorrow and up about another 8 lbs since then. I'm…

I don't know if I'm with you entirely on that one... not to take the subject and run with it. I have a reactive/aggressive dog. He does not have a drop of pit bull in him. He's actually a lab/border collie/cattle dog mix. But he's got his triggers that make him snap (he's awful on a leash) and we manage him. He's sweet as…

You mean aside from inconveniencing literally every tiny little aspect of my life, and annoying me to the max? Absolutely nothing. This whole thing is asinine. Schools statewide (Wisconsin) closed for 3 weeks? Daycares are next? Then what, parents are forced to stay home from work and the entire economy collapses? Not to…

I can now watch America's Next Top Model, without it having a negative effect on my self esteem or being triggering of my past eating disorder. I've come to truly, truly love and appreciate my own athletic curves. They're all beautiful, don't get me wrong, but I'm happier to stay muscular.

I agree! I'm not typically the Imagine Dragons fan (nothing against them, just not my first choice), but I had my music on shuffle and they came on and now they've been my running music for the last week!

I'm not entirely sure I will make it to my monthly goal, but I am going to push to get as close to possible. My job just dropped a bombshell on me that I'm "temporarily" being moved to 12 hour overnight shifts. No choice in the matter. By temporary, it could be 2 months or it could be through the summer. I am not a night…

Salt absolutely does NOT belong on watermelon.

I’m 24 years old and this is my first baby. Due August 23rd :) I did gain a good 8 lbs during my first trimester, though I’ve been forgetting to post. I had horrible nausea and the only thing that curbed it was snacking. Could I have controlled it better? Definitely. Oops. I think a couple pounds of it was maybe due to…

Did NOT even realize! it showed up under recent discussions :D

I, too, am a nightly snacker. I had to figure out how to save calories for the evening, so that I could munch a little. I don't know if it would work for you, but maybe try consuming less calories in the earlier parts of the day and save some for snacking? Or walking or exercising more. Move more= eat more. Otherwise, I…
