I have asthma and never thought I could do cardio. The best advice I've seen is to jog as slowly as you can. And then go even slower. Focus on increasing your footfalls while shortening your stride. Your lungs catch up and then you can go longer and faster

Be aware that it has almost no protein.

You should visit your doctor and discuss the decision to make sure there isn't some underlying medical issue. I think that's the main advice you'll get. That being said, I quit eating meat for years because every time I tried my stomach would swell within a few minutes, got a headache, and basically felt like I had…

Add kombucha, pickled eggs/okra/sausage to that list for mine :p

I think as long as they don't smell or look "off" you're good. That being said, the one and only time I've ever had food poisoning came from some lunch meat that specified I should use it within 3 days (I didn't). It looked and tasted fine, and then everything was very much NOT fine. So, YMMV

I'm with everyone recommending zenlabs. You *think* you can't run for a solid minute, but it's not about speed. The most helpful advice I came across before I started week one (I'm only on three now, but hey that's something) was to run as slowly as you think you can, and then go even slower. I thought my asthma would hold…

Make a good upbeat playlist (or whatever your preference is.) And then make sure it actually works before you get outside to start your run.

Pretty much my entire reason. That, and I got promoted to a much easier job (physically) and if I go in to work without burning off some energy I'm incredibly annoying and fidgety. I'm basically a giant dog/toddler.

To be fair depending on how much loose skin there is it can be an additional health problem. the skin can lose blood flow resulting in nerve damage and it can also develop sores or fungal infections beneath it, again depending on how much there is. There's also the issue of the skin just being an excess weight that pulls…

My reply is less about loose skin and more about surgery as a realistic option. I had a breast lift last year and it really opened my eyes to the possibilities for other perspective patients. Financing is generally an option. A lot of surgeons accept CareCredit, which can be easier to qualify for than another major credit…

I'll be honest, I've never taken it religiously, but I have tried both Hydroxycut Hardcore and their drink mix. The first time I took the Hardcore (just the super easy first day recommended half dose) I quickly felt really ill, went to bed, and woke up with vaginal bleeding. TMI right? I later found some instances of it…

My very favorite chickpea recipe came from PCRM's Vegan Kickstart, and it's one of the few recipes that carried over into my normal life. I just eat them by the handful, and even my 2 year old loved them. Baked Marinated Chickpeas Makes 2 servings 2 cups canned chickpeas, rinsed 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar 2 1/2…

Hi! I started out with 90 to lose 10 years ago. I lost it all (through really unhealthy means) and put 80 of it back on after a few years (20 in the last 6 months). I have 74 to lose. Not quite 100, but after having a kid, getting divorced, and signing up to work nights, it feels like it sometimes.

Shes not fine. She's actively looking for help, but the internet is difficult for her, and she lives out of town (the nearest town comprises 800 people, so finding local resources is a no-go). And no, my step-dad (her son) is very much not ok. Just no.

The issue isn't making her rethink he entire way of cooking, but rather teaching her to cook. She lives off of eggs. I'm not even joking. She'll make burgers, stew, fried potatoes, or canned vegetables for the other two. But that's it. The truth of saying "she can't cook," is so unbelievably raw it boggles the mind. It…

Same here! When I was a kid it was even worse. I had to sleep with the blanket over my head and tucked around my body so nothing could get in. I'm not sure how I didn't suffocate o_0 I'm terrified of the sides of swimming pools. I can't touch the sides or the bottom/back of the ladders. I'm convinced there might be snakes.

I'm moving to a new apartment Saturday, and I'll finally be free from having a bottom neighbor. I'm planning on starting level one on Monday.

God I feel you. I straight up had a mouthy coworker ask me if I was going bald. The only things I've found were to make sure you're getting a healthy amount of nutrients (fat, protein, iron) and FertiliTea. The latter helped to clear up my cysts and seems to have balanced my hair loss some.

Thank you!

Exactly, It's aggravating that so many people go at feeding their baby with an all-or-nothing attitude. It's either all breast milk, or you're a failure who then has to turn to all formula. It's totally an option to supplement as much as necessary and still enjoy a mutually beneficial nursing relationship with your kid…

Sit down and put your feet flat on the floor. Raise the front of your foot up until your foot is resting only on the heel. Go as far as you can comfortably, you should feel a stretch in your shin. Do it standing up, maybe one foot at a time if you're clumsy.

I would just like to say that it IS possible for your body to fail you and your child. It happens. And spreading anything to contrary is where the real misinformation is. I spent a month trying to nurse a baby who never gained an ounce, listening to people feed me the same line over and over, "You're doing everything…

Oooh, that makes more sense. Thank you. I was a little flabbergasted. That's right about where we were until a few months ago - Definitely look into getting assistance.

I'm sorry, but you spend $1600 on food? In a month? If it's just you and your wife, you can definitely cut that back. My husband and I started out with a budget of $200 a month for food and bumped it up to $500 after our son was born. If you just can't see cutting back, maybe look into some local food pantries? If you're…

EBF all the way. I love having an excuse to whip my boobs out in public.

I keep a look out with Eats on Feets and Only the Breast, but the women are always either at opposite ends of my state while I'm smack dab in the middle, or they're out of state completely.

Ugh, and now that it's not 1 a.m. I can remember the biggest issue I had with it :p It's like giving bags of white rice to hungry people. Yes it's better than nothing, but it's a cheap commodity that has little (read that as: no) intrinsic value. It's a bag of calories with some added nutrients designed to keep them alive.…

It's not just the nutramigen though. Even dairy based ones are ridiculous. The first two ingredients are always either "whey and corn" or "whey and oil." It just doesn't sound like food to me. At least not food I want to feed my kid. I have an issue with trying to feed Oliver food that I wouldn't eat if you paid me. It…
