Not sure if this helps your case since I don’t know your typical breakfast. But I get nauseous if I don’t eat something with a fair bit of fat and protein along with my vitamins.

Get a new doctor. It is not recommended to start any new exercise during pregnancy especially in the third trimester. Walking is usually the one safe go to, but if you’re supposed to be on bed rest that’s absolutely NOT what you should do. Your doctor is an idiot. Get a second opinion. Also swelling and water weight gain…

MFP definitely works. WW is just calories management based on a points system. MFP does all the work for you and you can actually learn about nutrition as you go if you pay attention to the nutrition information in addition to the calories. Also MFP is free. Big bonus for me. Haha!

Check out fitnessblender.com

Kelli and Daniel are awesome. The workouts are free too. They have over 400 videos in all sort of fitness levels and training types.

Cool, thanks! I just wasn't sure if there was a chance of injury from it or not. Carpet is my only option here (apartment living). But all I care about is progress at this point, which I'm seeing. :)

I'm not a doctor or a nutritionist. But I once heard that caffeine works by opening the blood vessels and allowing more blood flow to the brain, causing the feelings of alertness. I've found that aspirin helps, since it is a blood thinner and allows blood to flow more quickly. You shouldn't take it if you are prone to…

As long as you sanitize the surfaces you've touched afterwards, it's fine. I actually found that working out helps me to recover from colds faster. Must have something to do with the increase in circulation and the fact that it totally clears my sinuses and lungs better than any decongestant.

Also take into account that muscle mass weighs more that fat per inch. So if you were to take up heavy lifting or something like to gain muscle, your metabolism would increase and your body fat would go down as well as your over all measurements. But your actual weight might not be as low as you might expect for someone of…

I'm 5'3.5". So I'm probably almost exactly the same height as you. I'm told that a healthy weight range for woman of our height is somewhere between 105 to 140 lbs., depending on your build and body type. I'm a medium build with lots of natural curves built in and I would love to weigh as close to 130 lbs. as I can get.…

I think this sounds pretty logical. I love my coffee and drink it almost every morning. My only concern about negative effects would be related to the amount of cream(ers) and sugar used. Those are the calories that can add up and effect an otherwise healthy and balanced diet. Also, some people are more sensitive to…

I agree with the above. Every person's body is made of different compositions, proportions, and sizes. I'm 5'3" with a starting weight of 145 lbs. and a goal weight of 130. Being of medium build, getting any smaller seems unrealistic to me at this point, although I plan to re-evaluate when I get there. Even at 145 I didn't…

Not gonna lie. I think you look beautiful in your before shots. But you are even more stunning now. You just look so confident, healthy, and happy. Congratulations and good luck on the rest of your journey!

Thanks, everybody! I would say it was a fairly moderate hike. I'm in the mountains. But this hike had a combination of steep uphill/downhill climbing and flat land. I didn't carry a backpack, just my water bottle in my hand, and I'm a person with only about 10-15 lbs. to lose. Technically speaking, my BMI is at the very…

That's fantastic! I know how much hard work that takes. Keep up the great work! :)

I usually go way over in the amount of protein I take in. But that's only because I'm trying to build muscle as well as lose fat. My brother is a personal trainer and he knows my genetics are against me as far as my metabolism is concerned. So he suggested a high protein program for me, because more muscle mass increases…

Calories in vs. calories out is the most important consideration. However, figuring out how to use those calories can make the difference in your energy levels and how full you feel. Fiber rich foods such as whole grains as well as high protein foods help to keep you full. Sugars in fruits and veggies are great sources of…

Trust me girls. As a 5'3", 34DDD that don't alter in the slightest with weight loss, big boobs aren't all they're cracked up to be. The back problems alone should be enough to make a person reconsider getting implants. Not to mention bra shopping is a complete nuisance. It's incredibly difficult to find anything with…
