In response to people talking about distance to complete before the first half: my training program had me run the full 13 before actual race day, and I am actually really glad I did it. Somewhat anticlimatic in the sense that it wasn't like crossing the finish line on actual race day was the longest I had ever run....but…

Yes, it works, if you are eating at TDEE minus 20%. You eat at TDEE if you want to maintain your weight.

I actually didn't read replies past the first page, but just want to reassure you that you do not need to rush to the doctor ASAP or you will be infertile. Yes, you may have a yeast infection. You may have bacterial vaginosis. You may have a UTI. All of these things are treatable and common. Yes, it is normal to feel…

just bumping for later.....I am also working towards pull ups and this is great info.

If you can afford it, I would do it. I had a trainer for awhile (not for nutrition, just exercise) and it helped tremendously.
-
It would be doable, but not advisable....it is typically best to have a solid running base established before you take on something like a half marathon. With that being said, if you want to go for it, make sure you don't overtrain (common mistake when people are starting out, and they end up injured) and make sure you are…

This. Have the wedding you want. And there is nothing wrong with not wanting a traditional, big wedding. Our wedding was small and it was perfect. We wanted an intimate ceremony and reception, surrounded by the people that we are closest to, and love the most.....not people we barely knew! Congrats on your engagement.

my husband could care less if I have male or female friends, because he trusts me. You know, the basis of a healthy relationship.
-
that is all you need to say. As a social worker, I see parents trying to overexplain things to kids all the time.....they don't need to know more than that. Just focus on the health aspect if they do ask questions; if they don't ask questions, no need to discuss it further.

I'm not sure what I am going to do. With lifting heavy, I definitely think a lot of rest days are needed; a part of me feels like if I just go and do cardio on off days, it's going to jeopardize what I can do when it comes to a lift day.

You should be so proud of yourself....you look fantastic! Congratulations on all your hard work, it clearly paid off!

great transformation, and go Packers!

I am not really trying to gain weight, but for the first time I am not eating at a deficit, and trying to maintain and lift heavy. This has been a shift for me. I do still log food, though.....I wouldn't stop with that, just log at above maintenance if you are trying to gain. If psychologically it is hard for you to log…

You need rest days.

You can't change or control other people. All you can control is YOUR response. So ignore it and rise above. I have no idea on your whole family dynamic, but she may be getting some kind of emotional satisfaction out of behaving the way she does, and it may come from your current response to her. So don't give her a…

You are stunning! You should be so proud of yourself....have an awesome birthday!

Well, I have always been an A cup, and I love my boobs. Just because they are small doesn't mean that they aren't fabulous.
-
sorry, I can't help, but I am curious to see how others respond....
-
Maybe you should work on esteem issues before you contemplate getting involved in a relationship....you shouldn't feel that badly about your body. If a man is worthy of you getting naked with him, he shouldn't be the type of guy who would freak out over some stretch marks, you know? And I am pretty positive that most men…

Not a finger And My mother had not had a hot meal in over 15 years.

This. You may be in great cardiovascular shape, but running is more than that. Your bones and your muscles are going to have to adapt to the rigors of running, and this may be more challenging than you think. It is very easy to injure yourself by doing too much, too soon, when it comes to running....so take it slow at…

I have Mirena and am very happy with it. You need to be prepared for irregular bleeding in the beginning, and this can last for several months. Just have patience! I have had mine for a year now and don't get a period anymore, I love it. The reason why people will sometimes gain weight is because of the progesterone;…

I have a recipe for an amazing fresh cranberry jalapeno cream cheese dip. I know it sounds strange, but it's a great mix of those ingredients plus cumin and cilantro and sugar and green onion....yum. People are always asking me to bring it. If it sounds like it is up your alley, send me a message and I'll get you the full…

I have a 5" wrist and I am 5'9". Didn't know I was a freak of nature, according to your trainer. Lol!

I am currently doing NROL4W.....just started Stage 2. What is the "original" and when you mention the "fat loss?" I know I could google it, but I'm lazy. :) I am really loving NROL4W so I'd be interested in what else is out there, for when I complete all the stages of this plan.
-
Probably not a good idea. As others have said, you can probably suffer through it, but it could be miserable and you may injure yourself. Perhaps wait a bit longer and do some training first?

^^^^ This.

She's a teenage girl. She is trying to separate from you. Not that it gives her a right to be rude or disrespectful, but it's going to happen. You have to pick your battles to save your own sanity. YES, it will get better. I was awful as a teenager, and now I can't imagine life without my parents, and I am so thankful for…

Read New Rules of Lifting For Women, I think he does a good job of explaining....

Yep, that is aging.....it happens to all of us (if you are fortunate).
