Lol. I have an almost 8 year old...but she didn't cause me any issues, lol. I have a very narrow pelvis...they thought I'd have to have a C-section. I do have issues with my right hip however...possible stress fracture that never seems to heal. I'l run 4-5 miles and it'll start throbbing. One reason I like p90x is that my…

I hope I didn't come off as rude...sorry if I did. It took me a long time to develop a decent palate. I'm a former ana/mia so I know what it's like adapting to new flavors, smells, textures. As long as she keeps trying...that's all that matters.

Do not feel bad! I have issues doing 'crunchy frog' because my butt is gone! I have no padding on my tail bone...I have to have a pillow below me while doing it. Maybe you should also try a pillow.

I'm in! I've got way too many friends and family stationed over seas that would love to have the extras.

I grew up in a house where my parents smoked inside. I have asthma as a result and while it has decreased drastically since moving out at age 18...my lungs will never be the same. I also have the same issues with my ex (sort of). My ex smokes around our daughter...I also have full legal/physical custody of her. However, my…

Quick question....have you kept trying these foods? It takes time to adjust your tastebuds. I hated some of the foods I now adore when I was younger...and by younger I mean 3-4 years ago. Just keep trying them.

Beans, lentils, other legumes, wild rice, PB, some soy...stay away from the processed and GMO stuff if you can. I have used Morning Star, Boca, Quorn, and other 'meatless' entrees in the past. They are okay...eat them occasionally. While you say you don't like those types of meats...have you tried them prepared/cooked in…

I swore that I wouldn't respond to this thread but I have to. I haven't been owned by a cat in 8 years. Prior to that I was momma to anywhere between 3-10 kitties at a time. I fostered, I rescued, and I took in strays. I still work in feral cat rescue for my county. I can not and will not ever condone chopping of the last…

I'm not a huge chocolate fan...however I love having my Lindt 90% square with some natural PB. It's like a Reeses but healthy. If you don't like uber dark chocolate like I do...have some of the 60%. The darker the better because of the antioxdents.

Just stick with it. I came on MFP to keep track of my intake and my workouts. I love it here and some of these people have become like family to me and I don't know if I'd ever be able to leave this site just because of the support I get from everyone. Yeah...there is drama now and again but that's part of life...for the…

I drink mine black or with a splash of cream. Why add artifical flavors and sweeteners?

Don't worry about catching up. It's all about doing it at your own pace. Some are biking, some a swimming, some a running. You do what you feel comfortable doing. I run and walk or hike....all my favorite things. My mileage would be crazy if I biked, lol. Just have fun.

Darlin'...born an bred Georgia girl right here. Us 'ladies' in the south learn to shoot at an early age. I don't see anything wrong with a woman learning to use a gun or carrying for that matter. I want to be able to protect myself. If someone wants to steal from me...they'll have a 9mm bullet through their head pretty…

Go DALLAS!!!! Yeah...no need to tell me...Romo drove the team into the ground. I've been a fan for over 20 years...they are MY team no matter how crappy they are, lol.

But the deficit is already built in. There is no need to create a larger one. Read through some on these: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/6556-the-answers-to-the-questions ~~~~~~~~~ Banks two threads "Newbies" and "Newbies 2nd edition" http://www.myfitnesspal.com/post/new/9614-newbies-please-read-me…

Always! If I burn 500 cals and I am supposed to eat 1400...I would be well under the 1200 cal minimum. My body would start eating itself after a month or so because it would not be getting enough nutrients. It's simple...MFP already has you in a deficit...why create a bigger one and have your body not function properly?

I've kept my food diary private pretty much since I joined. I eat fairly clean and it's low cal. I have always struggled to eat all my cals and I need to eat 1400 at least to gain muscle. I'd rather eat things that I know are full of nutrients and good things than some junk that will only fill me up for thirty minutes and…

I don't think there is a support group. We all just report back here and post our weekly or daily results when we can. Start the Eowyn Challenge! I love it...I'm running and walking it....and I'll hike when it gets a bit cooler.

You've done an amazing job! Your story brought tears to my eyes and that's not an easy feat. Keep it up...you're such an inspiration!

My daughter and I go to the park weekly for at least an hour. She plays outside with the dogs and will join me in doing yoga. As for diet...we eat fairly clean and junk food is a special treat. I've lucked out in having a kid that loves salads, all fruits, whole grains, and prefers water over soda.

It happens all the time to me...no worries. Bump your post. Sometimes it goes through the thread so fast that it doesn't stay up long enough.

These are on repeat on my playlist: If Today Was Your Last Day- Nickelback Cheers- Rihanna All Your Life- The Band Perry Who Says- Selena Gomez I Gotta Feeling- Black Eyed Peas Riptide- Sick Puppies The Cave- Mumford and Sons Something about these songs keep me moving, lol.

My daughter will be 8 soon and I still have the pouch and the stretchmarks will never go away. I might be able to shrink the tummy a bit more if I'm lucky. The stretchmarks faded within a year but they cover my entire stomach, my breasts, upper thighs, and my upper butt. Nothing can be done for those, lol. You just have to…

Epica Nightwish Disturbed Theory Of A Deadman Adele Christina Perri Gary Jules Shiny Toy Guns Celtic Woman (or any of the girls by themselves) Cruxshadows The Cure Zac Brown Band Lady Antebellum I'm all over the place with my music, lol.

I'm right there with you. Kind of creepy seeing as how he's 34 years older than me, lol.

I'm guessing....Paleo or Primal? Lol. I'm a veg and the guy I'm dating is all for Grok...so this is always an interesting conversation for us, lol.

I love it hot but it's really bad for your skin...it dries out and becomes flaky if hot baths are taken too often. I tend to also take a ton of ice baths after a really tough long run, lol. For pure enjoyment...fairly hot with salts, some Vivaldi playing in the background, and a good book.

Meat Lentils Beans Tofu Cheese PB and yes...protein powder. Just watch out for how processed it is and if any chemicals are used. I use Vega which is a vegan protein with no soy, no artifical colors/flavors/sweetners. *Also...do not pay attention to the people on this thread that have no profile pic and this is their first…

I found out 6 months after my ex started an affair. As soon as I left I went and got checked for STDs...thankfully everything came back clean. He was the first man I had been with...I was with him from the age of 15-26. The marriage fell apart after the first year but I didn't dream of seeking sex/comfort from someone who…

I love being pasty pale! I have a alabaster tone going on and I do not want cancer. Besides...being tan and Goth do not go together, lol.
