I have four kids and will only be going back to work this fall. I have been working out 6 days a week for the last 2.5 years and a 3-4 days a weeks for about a year before that. Between kids i would just get back in the swing of hitting the gym when I would be pregnant again and on bedrest...The gym childcare is strange at…

I have birthed 4 children...so i am pretty certain I am a real woman..yet i am not very curvy..genetically it just didn't happen for me...sorry i am not a woman if I to be so i must be curvy

any change in your posture, form etc will lead to temporary soreness...and trying to correct too quickly could be detrimental...so slow down and do a little at a time. I try to focus on my form when I am getting tired, as when we are tired we all tend to get sloppy with our form...droopy shoulders, heavy feet etc...focus…

I think there is natural definition that a woman can achieve that is extremely beautiful. When something kicks in and a woman develops that very bulky musculature that it starts to lack feminitity. To achieve that bulk however is a conscious choice by that woman ..thus she probably likes how it looks and doesn't care what…

While my dumb doctors refuse to give a diagnosis of post partum cardiomyopathy I went into heart failure 6 days after my fourth child was born. I nearly died. My son is now almost 4 and I am training for my second marathon, compete in judo tournaments and have become a fitness fanatic. The doctors are stunned at how…

part of the problem with this idea is that I was never curvy...just straight and fat or straight and fit. I guess I just have to lose either way...

Nothing to add but I am bumping with the hopes of someone having some info for you

While I appreciate this honesty I have taken to running in a sports bra or one other tank with a built in boob smasher...it isn't about being sexy...I have terrible self consciouness about itbut most of my running tanks cause chaffing on any run longer than 3-5 miles...if it is hot enough for a tank it is hot enough for…

I don't eat that much as I am pretty little but I eat back my pretty big calorie burns (marathon runner) I eat cleaner when school starts but I don't eat meat .

those are not real pounds ...you cannot gain 3 lbs with 100 calories...however you may be retaining water, so drink up the h2o and weigh in again in a few days...

During the summer we eat out a ton...as we aren't home...during the school year we eat more meals at home. I am a mostly vegetarian and have the nutrition of most of our favorite local places memorized. I make pretty good choices..especially Jason's Deli and Chipotle are good for me...

1. I would say that everyone can reach some degree of running...shoot there are people with two prosthetic legs that run so I bet you can figure out some running or run/walk method that works great for you...ie research Jeff Galloway 2. If you are looking for great motivation...signing up for the race is one step...makes…

Hydrate, morning runs before the heat...those have been mentioned. If you can run somewhere where it is shady all day..ie we have a forest preserve nearby. The forest is always shaded for the ground never gets as hot to radiate at you. It always feels a few degrees cooler there. Also I wear a baseball hat when I run.…

Oh and on the ice cream front. I am a long distance runner...I love ice cream in the summer and I almost always have the calories for it when we do have ice cream. If we go out for ice cream I know how many calories I have left and it influences my choices. Did I run 15 miles and need to make up 1000 calories to be over 0…

We eat out far too often but I love when the info is available in the restaurant. Often times I am trying to decide between a few different options. Sometimes the calories is the deciding factor. There is a Jason's Deli in out area. There are two vegetarian wraps on the menu. They are virtually the same...at least I can't…

My first response to this is "bite me" then I realize you just don't get anyone but yourself so I can't be angry at you for you not understanding my journey being different than yours or starting somewhere other than a size 2. So while I don't need to say Bite me I do need to say that your impression that my…

Great question Wardog...I have wondered that myself. I go out easy and remind myself over and over again to take it easy. I don't think I go as slow as is recommended but I consiously work on going easy. I have a nine miler today and that is a distance I have done over and over for the last few months so I won't worry…

First of all keep trying...try different preparations until you find things that are good and how you like them. I love raw baby carrots but regular carrots I preferred cooked...I like to mist them with olive oil and roast them in the oven with seasoning...or I chop up carrots really small and mix it in with ground beef…

You kill me because you actually mentioned something that I thought I was the only person who ever noticed things like this. My belly has stretch marks and flabby skin only on the left side of my abs due pregnancies. I am goofy about making sure I get the same amount of work on both sides of my body....and when I do my…

You helped an animal. You did a good thing. When it is time to make decisions on the fly we do the best we can...sometimes we look back and see other options we didn't consider but you did the right thing despite costing more money than maybe necessary. Tell your helpful friend, whom I am sure means well, "You know, if I…

The cost of feeding a 300 lb person junk will be more than feeding a 85 lb kid just about anything...my kids eats big...sometimes I get the leanest meat..sometimes not..but when they wipe out the meatloaf...it is gone....from then on they have healthy snacks like fruit...ie grapes...apples...not organic but still…

This is something you have to learn to live with. Unless you are certain they are eating like that in front of you because they think it is tempting you and that is funny or something than what they eat is no more your business than what you eat is theirs. I know that might sound harsh but they don't have to consider your…

I am not from Memphis but I did a search online..there is a Jason's Deli near the University of Memphis. This is one of our family favorites. The kids' menu has normal kid stuff made a tad healthier..ie the the ham sandwich can be on white, wheat or a wholegrain organic wrap. the website for the chain has great nutritonal…

We keep popsicles in the house..they are 40 calories of refreshing goodness and go out for ice cream as a family...since it is more expensive to go out we don't induldge in that treat as often...kids/teens need to learn the skill of moderation and how to enjoy food as a treat too and part of that learning about treats is…

take them back..that sounds like atypical wear...you are putting the miles on so they won't last as many weeks but they should last as many miles...does that make sense? I seldomly get 300-500 miles out of my shoes...around 250-275 things start to "speak" to me so I replace...I do a few short runs in the new shoes...wear…

I have heard people say soy is evil and others that is the miracle food....do some research for yourself to see what makes sense for you...if almond milk is a suitable substitution then go with it until you make a better decision.

I stopped eating meat...at leat 85% of the time..that other 15% of the time I do eat some fish...(just want to make sure not to call myself a vegetarian and have someone start some rant thread that I used my terminology incorrectly...LOL) anyway...this was about 15 years ago now and I had a realization that no one could…

is HE depressed? I have my own intimacy issues but they are not at all related to my husband...it has everything to do with me and tied into my own self esteem and a scary pregnancy etc.

I love accupuncture...I went to see my guy after my son was born and I had experienced heart failure. He helped me more than any meds. I see him when my knee hurts and I am training for a marathon...I went to him Friday because I get anemic with low blood pressure and he "built my blood"...my mom went for a while for…
