My fastest 5K was 25:03 although if I timed one today, which I haven't done in a long time, I think I could run high 28's-low 29's assuming it's not 90+ degrees outside. I run poorly in heat. You will get faster as you get lighter, if you exert the exact same amount of energy you can move 160 lbs quicker than 200 lbs for…

I followed a training schedule from Runners World, I believe it was 4 days of running and 3 off days. My diet wasn't anything special, just the usual with more calories on running days. I would run mostly outside although I would run on the treadmill if the weather was bad, I would try to keep your runs, especially long…

Searching for this myself, I think I have poison ivy now and it's awful. I read online to make a paste with baking soda and water, smear it on and let it dry then wash off. I tried this yesterday and it did seem to help. I also rubbed some white vinegar on half of it to see if that made a difference and I think it has…

I have no problem with people keeping them private, however I think it's strange when someone starts a forum topic asking for help yet has a private diary. Typically the first few comments will encourage them to open it, yet they still don't.

I agree with the posters who say do nothing. I think your only possible option is to occasionally bring healthy snacks and offer her some (not everyday, not obviously). Have a garden? Make some salsa and bring in for everyone. Have grapes that will go bad before you get them all ate? Bring them in.

Think about it from his perspective. He gets a call in the middle of the night about a water leak in his building, any reasonable person would jump right out of bed to make sure the water gets shut off and to do anything necessary to minimize damage and cost. He realizes he needs to see if it's coming from your place, he…

In your situation "babe" would bug me more than "hun" but my SO isn't really one for terms of endearment nor am I. I get annoyed at work when people on the other end of the phone call me anything like that especially if it's a female who sounds about my age. It is very unprofessional and usually feels patronizing to me. If…

Then you must have been fortunate enough to have two uncomplicated pregnancies, not everyone is so lucky.

That's true but having an awake and alert doctor rather than one that was dragged out of bed at 3am on a Saturday is not a bad thing either. Edit: To the OP- Please remember this is her decision, not yours. Finding information is fine, being pushy because of what you believe is not.

Definitely me. Disclaimer: I am not Urban Meyer

They can induce natural labor too. My SIL's doctor wouldn't induce over Easter weekend because of the holiday but did it the following week.

I think every comment on here needs to be taken with a grain of salt. Not everyone who has lost 100lbs is always right nor are people who have only lost 2 always wrong. Some people will always be full of *kitten* :) I'm only showing as having lost 5 but I'm down 17 from my highest weight. I've been a runner for a decade…

You're netting 800 cal/day per average? You're probably tired and light headed because you aren't eating enough. Less is not better, you HAVE to give your body the fuel it requires. Yes, if you work out you will need to eat more yet. That is something you will have to come to terms with.

What is the doctor's incentive for doing this? I would guess that the doctor thinks that this is the least risky alternative for your friend and her baby.
-
To me this looks like a problem. If you already weigh 115, what is your goal weight? You're on the low side of a normal BMI for your height now, losing much more could put you underweight. I understand if you want to tone up but to try and lose a pound or more a week at this point may teeter on being unhealthy especially…

What is your resting heart rate?

cheese, pizza, french fries, burgers, ice cream, beer Not all at one time though

I just got a Charbroil Patio Bistro gas grill, I've only used it twice but I really like it so far. It's perfect if space is limited.

I'm ok with pretty much any True Blood guy being shirtless... well maybe not Rev Newlin or Sheriff Bellefleur.

Another idea is to pack your lunch but leave your wallet at home. If you don't have any money with you then you can't go to McDonald's.

At my old gym there was a girl who would occasionally show up at spin class and sing along with the music. That irritated me to no end. I don't wipe down equipment if I don't sweat on it. I almost never wipe down treadmills because I don't touch anything on it while sweaty. I get on, set the program and time I'm going to…

My book club is reading The Night Circus and Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children for the summer (we don't meet in July hence having 2 books). I haven't read enough of either to know how they are yet but reviews are good. Some other good ones I've recently read: The Language of Flowers, Unbroken, The Kitchen House…

50 Shades started out as Twilight Fan Fiction which doesn't excuse it for being virtually the exact same story with kinkiness rather than vampires and werewovles.

Go to a local specialty running store, they have all the equipment and knowledge to help you. They will even let you go outside (or have a treadmill) and run for a little bit to try them out. Expect to spend at least $100 though, and don't lift weights in your running shoes.

I don't think the word "vagina" was ever used in all three books. As you said, it's "down there" or "my sex", which also drove me crazy.

Here is the USDA putting (human consumption) corn in with the veggies, this website is for nutrition and health info. My point is that you can't tell someone they're wrong for calling corn a vegetable or a grain. It falls under both. http://www.choosemyplate.gov/food-groups/vegetables.html

It came from an agricultural extentsion website. Here is sweet corn classified under vegetable on The Ohio State University Extentsion site http://ohioline.osu.edu/lines/vcrop.html#VEG.4a Also, here is sweet corn classified under vegetable from the University of Illinois…

Sweet corn and field corn are not to be confused because they are not the same and are not harvested at the same time. "A grain is defined as the harvested dry seeds or fruit of a cereal grass, or the term can refer to the cereal grasses collectively. Field corn that is harvested when the seeds are dry would thus be…
