If you have a smart phone you can get apps that will keep track of that for you. I have Ease into 5K and that one tells you when to 'run' and when to walk and has a plan for you. keeps track of pace, calories, etc. I also have one called CycleTracker and you can set that one up for intervals (one minute 'fast' one minute…

As already mentioned you do not have to make any diet or exercise adjustments while TTC but a prenatal vitamin is recommended. The majority of people get pregnant in the first three months so you could just wing it for three months and if nothing happens then start fiddling around with all the ovulation kits and BBT.…

Those are good ideas. Offer him whatever he likes and they also make ensure shakes that are frequently used to help meet nutritional needs. This is not an uncommon problem for older people. Frequent small meals are also sometimes helpful. I'm glad there is a doctor appointment in the works.

No oil?! Really? Yay!! I think I love you. I guess I just figured oil was a must to roast them and I'd rather eat more yam, less oil! haha.

Bump to find again. Thanks - sounds absolutely perfect!!

US Sizes. I don't know what the deal is. I'm just big I guess. :sigh: I'm about 185 now and there is no way I could even get a size 12 pulled up, much less buttoned.

Everyone is so different. If I hit my goal of 170 +/- 5lbs or even 165 - I'll still be a size 14. I can get some 14's on now but they are really tight.

I like skulls - just not on me - I wouldn't want to see it all the time - freak me out, lol. Posting to say that is the coolest one I've ever seen!

Wow - so close to goal and incredible loss! Such hard work - well done!!! :D

Love the idea of a message that is so small and personal. Not sure exactly what I'd have written. I have a big foot - opens up the options, haha. I have one on my right ankle already. Very 80's, lol. Cross with a rose wrapped around it.

Great thread. I love OP's first choice even if it is popular. When I reach my bottom goal weight I'm getting one. Might be the only reason I get there, lol. I haven't decided on anything for certain yet but I like this idea. Not exactly like this but the concept. or this only on my side.

breakfast is my smallest meal but I like a big supper. Whatever works for you - it's all good :)

I'm 6' tall and my ultimate goal is 165lbs. I'll be happy with 170 +/- 5lbs. My heaviest was 225 and I'm 185 now. Getting to 185 wasn't to bad but every pound is a fight now. I should clarify - my effort is the same but the weight comes off much slower now.

The calorie counts when eating out are truly shocking but not surprising. I got a lemonade chiller at DQ, which does not have ice cream it in - and it was over 700 calories. OMG, lol. For at home shockers I think I had two. The serving size for almonds is much much smaller than I would have anticipated. Grapes have way…

I tried that one too. It said I had a small frame. I was large on the other and every one I've ever checked and every doctor I've ever seen. I mean - SMALL FRAME. The world small has never applied to me in my entire life so I'm kind of in love with that site, lmao. It gave me an ideal weight of 165 which is my ultimate…

How come it doesn't ask gender? Did I miss that? I'm female - large frame - 6' tall. Right now I'm 185lbs. FWIW my goal is to be between 165-175lbs. The scale at that link was 188-206 and told me I was underweight. "The weight above calculated with your height is only a measure of weight and obesity based on BMI. " Yet…

Yum. Needs oats though :D. I have a similar recipe with honey but honey is the most expensive thing in the grocery store I think so I'm definitely trying this.. I'm gonna make it for my boys. Two of them eat soooo much peanut butter. I'd weigh a 1000 pounds, ha!

Strawberry yogurt banana frozen strawberries very thick - usually have to add milk. You could add ice cream or switch the yogurt out for ice cream if you wanted. I have tried it with ice cream and protein powder but the protein has a flavor I guess. I make these for my boys so calories are not a concern.

If it ain't broke don't fix it :) If 1200-1300 calories work for you - it works. I agree with those that say exercise works for toning, not weight loss.

Yes I suppose that is true! I'm not actually finicky about a guys body . I think they are all pretty hot so why I don't assume that works in reverse I do not know, lol.

I'd be lying if I didn't say I was having a hard time accepting the shrinking bust that left perky behind years ago and the widening waist. It is hard to get my head around. It is a whole new body image to come to terms with. I'm working hard to get a body that I can own and feel good about but most the work is mental…

Dump your favorite into a container that fits the spot you want to keep it :) Having said that I've only tried HyVee protein powder and I wouldn't say it was good but I have nothing to compare it too. I drink it just to get enough protein since I struggle to get it with food alone and I've found I feel less hungry if I…

I've been taking various blood pressure meds since I was 31 and not overweight at that time. I take three meds right now (two pills - one is a combo). The meds have changed over the years depending on other things I have going on. In the last few years even with meds it ran at 140/90 give or take depending on the day.…

Meh - their thoughts, their feelings, their problem. Keep on doing whatever makes you happy and don't worry about them. They will get used to it eventually and quit asking/commenting.

I do a 30 minute DVD 5-6 times a week. When I get my act together I might change that up a bit but for now - that is super easy and I can do it even though I do not have my act together, lol.

Normal for me. Happens every month. I think it is a combo of actual bloating/fluid retention related to my cycle and my overall attitude that is also related to my cycle. No matter what I don't quit during that time. Things always get back on track - it is just a crappy 10 days.

I think the only sane thing to do with Brussels sprouts is cover them in bacon. I saw a picture of asparagus wrapped in bacon which I'm guessing had a similar result, lol. Bacon is the duct tape of the food world. All these purple foods - so weird. Why do we monkey with our food like this? It makes me want to grow a…

They grow purple cauliflower now. It is very very purple too. Crazy.

Perfect Disguise - Modest Mouse

I have had two 12-17 day spurts of either no change at all or actually gained (which part was water retention and part was I ate to much). and one 8 day spurt with no change. It is very cycle related for me. Mine are not the same each month. The light months create the stalls oddly enough. I think a lot of it is fluid…
