I wear a 32G in regular bras but a 34F in this sport bra. The twins don't move and it's low enough in the front that I don't think it would mess with your scar if that's an issue. Yes they are in England BUT they have AMAZING customer service and will extend return times and such for their overseas customers. I have ONLY…

Is it one with a chest strap? Sometimes the "connection" between it and your skin isn't that good and you can get wacko readings. For my Polar F6, if it doesn't read well I just dampen my finger slightly and then wipe the sensor with it. I have had my F6 for.....gosh.....probably 8-10 years, maybe. I have to send it in for…

When you add workout to MFP you have to enter the time you start the workout. This is so that the workout info will "override" the FitBit info. The adjustment is done for you so that you don't "double dip". Good luck! I have the FB Flex and love it.

I agree with those who are saying too much cardio and not enough strength/weights AND you are so not eating enough. I am 5'8", 182 lbs and am pretty much sedentary due to my disorder. I get 1460 cals per day not including ANY activity I do. You.....are.....not.....eating......enough. I know that sounds crazy BUT it's true.…

I have SEVERE seasonal allergies, both indoor and outdoor. I have been on allergy shots since 2007 and they made a WORLD of difference. I decided back in Nov to switch doctors as my old one was too far to drive every week. I stopped my shots then but I didn't switch right away. Now I am miserable. My new doctor has me on…

I am on immuno-suppressants for one of my disorders (Dermatomyositis) and have my blood drawn every 3 months. I have had it drawn a number of times in between for other things. I would assume that something like anemia would have been found by now. But I'll keep that in mind for future reference. I also have Celiac disease…

While I don't have an official diagnosis of IBS, I suspect that I have it to a degree. What I DO have a diagnosis for is Celiac disease. If you suspect that Gluten is affecting/triggering your IBS, I would suggest getting into some Celiac groups/circles for help in eliminating gluten. Companies tend to HIDE gluten where it…

If I may ask.......What is the IIFYM calculator?

That is probably the one that gets me the most as well. I have unfortunately got out of the swing of lifting for many reasons (health being one of them) but I LOVED lifting and seeing how strong I was. I NEVER got bulky. I did have to watch how I trained my legs but they were naturally thicker to begin with and tended to…

Thanks! That's exactly what I wanted to hear! Thanks all for the recommendations! I think I'm going to try ZipList for a while.

To those who are recommending ZipList.....is there a privacy feature? Can you make a recipe private so that no one else but you can see it? I talking about things that I enter, not stuff I get from the web....

My hair loss problems are due to Auto-Immune disorders. I'm NOT (repeat NOT) saying that you have one BUT if it IS more than normal I would double check with your doctor to run some blood work to test your nutrient levels. It could be something as easy to fix as an Iron deficiency as someone has already mentioned, but it…

Thanks all for the suggestions. I'll have to look up some of the sites that have been mentioned. As far as leftovers.....we usually don't have any (or too little left to bother keeping). I have myself, my hubby, and two boys (10 & 6). The boys go through growth spurts at such a rate that ONE of them is always in one.…

I've tried Udi's and will use it when I need something that is more "shelf stable". I have really liked Rudi's a lot but they are frozen/kept in the freezer. I guess that's why it dries out so quickly. :P

What else is in the soup? It may not be the tomatoes.....

If it's the book I'm thinking of it's full of crap. Yes, there are people who have trouble with wheat and there's an auto-immune disorder called Celiac Disease that takes it to a whole new level. Someone on a Celiac blog (I have Celiac BTW) did a review of the book and a lot of the claims the author made using citations…

I have the FT7 and I think it was the first in the series that has encoding. This means if you wear your Polar in a gym setting, the machines and other people's HRMs will not cause interference with your monitor. This also makes sure that you will get a more accurate reading as your monitor will not be reading other…

Donnie girl here...all the way!

Coconut flour doesn't have the stickiness of regular flour because the gluten is gone. That's why those on gluten-free diets make a mixture of flours and mix in either xanthan gum or another one that I can't remember the name of. It gives the stickiness you need. You might look for some gluten free flour mix recipes that…

I'm a 32GG and LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the Shock Absorber one that's at Bravissimo (bravissimo.com). The twins DON'T MOVE and they go all the way up to a 40HH! http://www.bravissimo.com/products/lingerie/sports-bras/max-sports-bra-top/red-blue/be53rb/?show=16&sort=1&level=1

I used to have a day "lag" in between workout and soreness. So if were me in your situation, working out hard yesterday (Wed), would make me sore on Fri. Make sense? Due to my disorder, I haven't worked out at all in about a year to a year and a half. If I were to work out now.....I'd probably feel it in a few…

EAT THEM. The daily amount that MFP has given you already has a deficit built in and you will still lose if you eat EVERY workout calorie MFP gives you. NOW, with that said, MFP has been known to be over on exercise calories. So I would eat at least half of them if you use MFP to get the amount. If you cut your calories…

^^^^^^THIS!!!!!!!

I am a 32 G/GG and I LOVE LOVE LOVE this bra that I get from Bravissimo (in the UK.....) http://www.bravissimo.com/products/lingerie/sports-bras/max-sports-bra-top/red-blue/be53rb/?show=16&sort=1&level=1 They are AWESOME on customer service for those who are in the US. Yes they are a little pricey BUT at my size, ANYTHING…

Sound like you may know a little more than you give yourself credit for. :wink: If you can get out of any restaurant for 500-700 calories I think you're doing great. It's so hard to eat out with everything that you feel is so tasty is actually so bad for you. Kudos on your successful dinner out!

I would count it. It's not something you do EVERYDAY and it's definitely a workout. It works your core and arms not to mention giving some resistance just based on the weight of the snow.

Is it lunch or dinner? If it's lunch I would go with the Carbs because you could burn it off. Carbs are the source of quick energy (I think....) and you'll be able to get rid of it. Just don't carb load for dinner too. Actually, I would avoid the high fat either way. Extra fat will hurt your arteries, extra carbs may just…

No it's not free. It's usually about $20 (the cheapest of the lot of them, I believe) and I would recommend going to either Staples/Office Depot or someplace like that and buy the CD. You CAN download but I've read about some troubles being able to re-download if you have trouble on your computer. If you have the CD you…

There are lots of programs out there. I use MasterCook 11 on my Windows 7 laptop. I like it a lot. There's a MasterCook toolbar you can download for FireFox that will grab recipes from the internet (i.e. Betty Crocker, Pillsbury, etc), usually with one click. Then you can adjust the ingredients to make the stats what you…

That breakfast looks AWESOME!!!!
