Aw, man, does the FTC's recent multimillion dollar judgement against Herbalife and forced restructuring mean we're going to see more of these "just looking for advice" ads? http://www.slate.com/blogs/moneybox/2016/07/15/the_ftc_is_finally_punishing_herbalife.html

Yey, NW side! I'm originally from Edison park.

My last boyfriend is now a plushophile. Mic drop

This. Now that he's 4 my little one can do a few miles of hiking, but still requires lots of stops to figure out what each flower, bug, and burrow is, lol. When he was 2 I used to bring along a mei tai carrier (like a sling), to give him a ride on my back when he got tired.

Ugh I've been slacking. I think I was sick with a bit of what my kid had. I was exhausted for the last week-seriously ready to fall asleep at the drop of a hat. My kid and I are both feeling better now, so I'll be able to run tomorrow morning before my husband goes to work and my older kid goes to camp. I'm thinking that I…

Hi, I'm not a vegan, but I've looked at the Happy Herbivores group on here a few times to get some recipe ideas. There are lots of vegans and vegetarians on there.

Hi, I'm new. I'm on week 4, day 1. I'm hoping that it's actually easier to get out during the summer-both kids are out of school, so I don't have to wake up before everyone else to go. I can run in the morning in the time that was the school scramble before my husband goes to work. Also, that Mackinaw island run looks…

Definitely talk to your doc. When I had an infection my doctor had me eating no fiber for a few weeks while I healed, and then gradually adding fiber up to 25-30 grams per day, but she told me specifically not to avoid any foods after I was better.

My neighborhood was built in the 60's during the height of the car is king era. Most blocks have sidewalks, but many don't. If they're side streets then you are legally allowed to walk in the street on the left side (facing oncoming traffic so you can see when someone is coming). If she's riding her bike then she goes on…

Putting a highly unflattering profile pic really cuts down on the number of proposals and junk pics you'll receive. That's why I let my 4 year old take mine-working the angles. ETF: propositions, not proposals. That would be even weirder.

How far is the park? At 6 she may be able to play at the playground while you walk around the park. (YKMV- your kid may vary.) Talk through the basics of how far you'll be, how to find you in an emergency, stranger danger, etc of course. My older kid can outrun me, but rides ahead on his scooter because he gets bored. My…

I hear you, because I'm in a motivational slump too. But it doesn't sound like you're failing to me! You're still 36 pounds lighter than you were last year. You've had a setback, but you're recognizing it and getting back out there.

These granola bars were an awesome snack when I was nursing: http://dailymom.com/nurture/boost-your-supply-at-breakfast-breastfeeding-granola-bars/ I had to sub out some ingredients because of food allergies, but they're easy to modify.

Is the issue that you're losing too much weight, or that the baby isn't gaining quickly enough? A local, certified lactation consultant can help with bfing issues. For example there are ways to help ensure that your baby is getting more of the higher calorie hind milk and less of the lower calorie fore milk. Here's a link…

It could definitely be asthma. See if your doc will give you a referral to a pulmonologist or asthma specialist. I didn't realize how often I should have been using my rescue inhaler until my doc put me on pulmicort, and I was suddenly breathing like a normal person. I danced uphill the first time I made it through a hike…

The sad thing is that because I have two boys, my response was "ugh. Another kid who just to talks about his privates."

Ball punch guy messaged me, too! I had only posted a few comments then, and I think they were all on pooping and gestational diabetes threads. Maybe that's his kink. Dom ball punching women who talk about poop.

That's not how science works. If something has been proven to be harmful to most people then it does, in fact, mean that you shouldn't try to do it. This isn't the same as "most people will regain lost weight so you shouldn't try." This is "three + hours daily cardio plus a vlcd will permanently damage most people's…

This. There's another one called Sneaky Chef that I used with my older kid. As others have said, there's no need to eat crunchy veggies if you don't want to. You can be healthy without them. But if you're interested in trying to learn to like them, texture issues can be hard to get over, but it can be done. I've gotten…

Another vote for c25k here. I just finished week 2 today. I'm using the active.com app, which lets you play your own music.

I really recommend asking your doc for a referral to a registered dietitian. Working out is great for stabilizing blood sugar, but you shouldn't have to give up carbs completely, and he or she should have given you more advice about what you can eat. Does your medical group have a free intro to diabetes class or group that…

I live across the country from my family, and just recently saw my mother for the first time in about 6 months. During her visit the comments were positive. A little over the top, but nbd. When she got home she posted publicly on my fb wall that all my time of hard work and sacrifice have really paid off because I've…

Yes, when you lose 70 pounds in 5 months with 40 of it over 2 months you will have loose skin.

I did week 2, day 2 this morning! I struggled a bit with planning when I could go-it's in the 80's here today and my morning was packed. So I set out my clothes last night and woke up early. Bonus-my older kid woke up while I was out running and got himself completely ready for school without any nagging. He was ready to…

Things that are working for me: Counting calories Getting the most bang for my buck, by choosing higher quality foods most of the time and also by planning my splurges for what I really enjoy (eg, I miss Coke much less than I thought I would, and I enjoyed the heck out of a piece of my kid's birthday cake after dinner)…

You're right-my first post did come off seriously whiny and entitled, didn't it? I promise that I'm not expecting other people to give me motivation. :) im looking for more of a virtual running partner.

I'm in the South Bay. There are a lot of things to love about CA and the Bay Area, but sometimes I feel like I'm the only obese person in the whole region.
