Its the change in heart rate that will effect how many calories you are going to burn.

your feet will shrink from weight loss through fat loss as well as through fluid loss. You never realize how much fluid you retain in your feet until you start losing weight or you get pregnant :)

Wow, you sound exactly like my husband and we've been together happily for a decade. You must be a keeper.

Or you could just be looking for an out and using these "signs" as an excuse... either way, doesn't matter what Cosmo says. If you aren't diging the relationship anymore leave, why use an article written by "experts" as an excuse. Man up and scoot.

Put the baby in a snuggly and turn on some music and dance around the house... I have a 3 month old and she's just about the most comforting thing on the planet -- so much happiness just because you picked them up and gave em a hug.

That's exactly what i was trying to get at... you put it much better than I did.

In a sense that's how I eat now only I'm aware of calorie content. It its soemthing i want, I eat it. I just record everything so I am accountable to myself about the reprecussions. I also take note of how i feel when I have x, y, or z that I've been craving and if I do eat what it is that I want when I want it, I find it…

No my friend, that was stroke of brilliance.

you can also do oven baked spring rolls, meat and cheese pinwheels, canapes...

asparagus wrapped in crescent rolls, marinated mushrooms, cubed cheeses with a variety of crackers or with pretzel sticks in them, zucchini bites, tzatziki, hummus, fresh fruits, fresh vegetables, guacamole, whole wheat pita crisps... really depends on how many people you're trying to feed and whether you're trying to keep…

I barefoot run in Vibram fivefingers -- however, if you're used to running in a traditional running shoe it takes time to transition into barefoot running -- should only run in them for a mile every other day and then over the weeks work into longer distances -- the reason people get a lot of pain running in barefoot shoes…

I've found pregnancy has been quite helpful at gaining weight -- BUT you're n uni and that wouldn't be a great idea -- the things others have suggested though (i.e. additional protein/strength training) you should give a try.

I have a gastronomical connection with bacon that my Synagogue would consider a sin ;)

I was just thinking I've had more space issues being in a seat next to a really tall buy that wasn't obese but just naturally broader of build and healthier when flying than I've ever had with a big person next to me. But, if you don't fit in a movie theater seat then there's a pretty good chance you're not going to fit on…

I've never been much of a runner but when I decided to start I knew I'd always had problems with traditional running shoes even when I had been fitted at a specialty store so.... I bought a pair of vibram fivefingers and started using them and have LOVED them -- they've strengthened parts of my legs and feet that I've…

I weigh daily but it doesn't bother me if I see 2-3 lb fluctuations -- generally I use it as an indicator of whether or not I've had enough water/too much sodium, and sometimes to see how my body responds to certain foods (i.e. different types of carbohydrates)

It does sort of add saccharin like sweetness to the entire concept for shedding pounds doesn't it? Makes it kinda sound like you're loading up the ship with your merry band of pirates about to set out to conquer the world... clearly it is too early in the morning for me to be contemplating this...

I weigh before cooking and determine how many 100 or 200 g servings it would be before cooking and once it is cook I divide it out into that number of servings

I like to channel my inner Stuart Smalley, "Because I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and gosh darn-it! People LIKE ME!"

I can totally relate -- congrats!

Bachelors in Geography - Cartography & Geographic Information Systems Masters in Geography with a focus in Regional Planning & Public Administration I work as a Community Planner for a dual jurisdiction planning agency.

I not only wipe down the doors, but I move furniture and wipe down all the baseboard and I vacuum the corners of the ceiling. You're perfectly normal -- granted it only happens every few months but I do it.

I TOTALLY WANT THIS PIN!

3 buckwheat pancakes with real maple syrup, turkey smoked sausage and 3 scrambled eggs... about 640 calories.

There was no great awakening or even a huge "wake up call" I was just ready -- pure and simple -- I was ready... the universe and star aligned or something...

Your net calories should be at least 1200 a day. You're depriving your body of necessary fuel when you exercise PAST the number of calories you've consumed. Think of it as trying to drive a car with an empty gas tank -- the fumes will take you a few extra feet but eventually you're just going to stall and not go anywhere.

Along those lines -- my "evening after workout pre-bed snack" due to macros and calorie availability resulted in a protein shake, sting cheese, turkey italian sausage link and a yo crunch yogurt.... because yes, I had that many calories left to fill but he's right -- just look at what you have left for the day and try to…

I have been extraordinarily blessed to be surrounded by people that are nothing but supportive of my journey. My parents, siblings, in laws, husband and friends have all been very good about this process -- even my five year old says lets go exercise mommy I have to burn calories.... That being said, there was a time in my…

I make a little salad with it tossed with a little italian dressing and eat it as a side with meals -- I also just eat pieces of it with cheese and crackers with some lunch meat.
