  • I have had 6+ pelvic stress fractures at this point. I just started running again after taking 6 months off (again). I took a year off last time. I'm thinking running may just not be for me, but it's the best exercise and when I have been doing it awhile, I love it. Right now I hate it, and a week into it, hip pain. I know…

  • I had 3 kids in 4 years, but that was MANY years ago as they are teenagers now. If you don't yet have a double or sit-n-stand stroller, get one. At the very least do a stroller and baby backpack. I had to have a double stroller and carry the youngest baby in a backpack carrier, but I walked my as* off, literally. Walking…

  • Attitude and motivation will get you everywhere. I have been doing this (not my fitness pal, the whole tracking thing) for 2 years. It works, but only as much as you make it work for you. I tend do the same, log my good days and skip the bad days. I have lost pounds, and then gained them back. Which is very de-motivating.…

  • I'm new to the program. I've been cutting the calories for years and exercising and its not gotten me anywhere. The idea of eating back the spent calories seem ludicrous to me, but I'm willing to try anyway. I workout ALOT, I was eating 1200 calories and burning 300-600 calories per day. Now I am eating more and exercising…

  • People are entitled to their opinions, free country and all. I love guns. I have been shooting all my life, as have my children. We are of course safe. My 10 year old is a great shot. Will that piss somebody off? Yep. Do I care? You guessed it. We shoot for fun, for practicality (hunting for food), protection, and work.…

  • I also have a pedometer, mine logs both steps and miles. I walk a mile in about 15 minutes so you can calculate how many steps in a mile, then do a test and calculate it out. I usually do about 4 miles per day (12,000 steps for me) which I put in as 60 minutes of walking. Hope this helps! April
