Here is a video on obesity and pregnancy. There are several parts to the video and I recommend watching it completely. Research shows that all the fat cells you have are laid down during pregnancy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Of-qvDprr0w&feature=relmfu

http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&feature=endscreen&v=h0zD1gj0pXk This is the first part of a 7 part video on Obesity and the problems that are escalating from it. One of the episodes talks about pregnancy. I am not sure which!

Thanks, I guess for the last year I have been doing this (with the exception of cheese). I don't drink milk, but cheese is just fine on my body.

I would suggest doing two things: First: What do you do for fun? Think back to your childhood. What did you enjoy doing? If you were a dancer, go out to the local club and dance! If you liked skipping rope, get one out and do a few! If you liked biking, hop on and go! If you played an instrument, brush off the dust on the…

Did you know that your child's fat cells are laid down during pregnancy! Yep, all the fat cells you have were set while in utero. This is why eating healthy is so important during pregnancy. Your baby really is what you eat!

Can I ask, what is whole 30? I do primal and am not familiar with Whole 30.

I have been doing Primal for the past year,and didn't even know it! I haven't touched grains in over a year, and I have sugar in the form of honey (or Stevia) only rarely. I don't really miss it. The only thing I haven't been doing is the primal exercises. I kind of fell into the Primal lifestyle. I was looking at…

The Mundelein Park District is great. One of the trainers there is Bob Bresloff. He is the one you want, if you are looking for great results.

Whinston: If you haven't already, At the very top of the page, look for the GROUPS tab and click on it. Then click on the SEARCH for groups. Type in Paleo or Primal and you will see some groups you can join. Pick a group that has interesting topics and start there. This is what the groups are for, to provide specialized…

relax, you are probably retaining water because of your illness!

My skin is a bit deflated now.

I am twice your age and have lost a lot of weight. I have noticed a bit of "bumpiness" to my skin as fat is released from the fat cells. However,it all eventually evens out. THe skin left behind is a bit deflated, but is slowly shrinking. I exfoliate 2-3 times a week to encourage the skin to grow new cells. I also use a…

Not a dumb question. Here is some information I have looked up and copied here: Hypertrophy (increasing Muscle Mass) Independent of strength and performance measures, muscles can be induced to grow larger by a number of factors, including hormone signaling, developmental factors, strength training, and disease. Contrary to…

"sometimes you just have to push through."

You would be better off taking green coffee bean, at least there is some research behind it!

There is an app called Handy Converter that will convert just about everything you want!

"I was up this morning"

"A little cheat, for a treat is OK."

If you have a desk job at work, trade out your chair for an exercise ball. You can pulse, squeeze and rotate and get a great lower body workout. It will also work your back muscles, sides and a little of your abs.

I am 5' 5.5" and I am at 147. I am wanting to get down to 140 or 130. I figure I will take a look and see what I look like at 140, then reevaluate.

OP: First of all I want to commend you for losing a little over 30 lbs already, so you are clearly doing the right things so far. I looked at a week's worth of your diary and I see that while you enjoy chocolate, you do keep within your daily caloric goals. My only advise would be to vary the fruits and veggie that you…

This is not a popularity contest. I log my foods to keep track and welcome (constructive) criticism. I want feedback, honest feedback. When I get a comment, I will thank the person for suggestions. I am kind of known at the veggie lady because I bug my friends until I see them add veggies! :happy: Some people will never…

I like this bread: 40 cals, 6 g carbs, 1 effective carb

My friend has something called Interstitial Cystitis. It is not very well known. Basically, any high acid, salty food sends her bladder into convulsions and she has the feeling of needing to pee when she really doesn't. When her IC acts up, it can be painful cramping. If this describes you, you may want to talk to a doctor…

Try mixing everything together and then make popsicles with it. Can have your yoghurt and drive time too!

1) Hot coffee mixed with a scoop of protein powder. Tastes just like a latte but I get my protein. 2) Cheese chunks and apple slices 3) Go Raw bar with PB on it 4) Chobani and fruit with flax

How much grains do you consume? Could you have a wheat allergy? Is your condition accompanied with gas? Diarrhea? Go talk with your doctor and see what she says!

You might try adding some fruit. Also a Protein supplement like Jay Robb can be added to your yoghurt and shakes.

OP, as you can see there are opinions on both sides of the debate and you should make decisions based on what you think is best for your body! Good luck with your weight loss goals!

That is not what the research shows. Did you read what I posted? The research shows that the brain, when given artificial sweeteners, is looking for the satisfaction of the real sugar and when it doesn't get the satisfaction, it will release chemicals that will cause you to crave more sweets until it is satisfied. I am…
