My younger brother was on Welbutrin for his ADD and he lost a TON of weight. He was (still is) incredibly skinny but didn't want to eat ever. His doctor ended up switching meds on him because of the dramatic weight loss.

Grape nuts. 200 calories for HALF A CUP!!!! I am still famished after I eat a serving of grape nuts.

I love running outside, but it is harder. I find it much more fun to run outside then on a treadmill. With the treadmill I am always looking at the time/distance. Keep at it and it'll get easier.

Awesome post! Thank you for this!

What a lucky dog!!! Thank you for taking care of her and getting her fixed! Sounds like she will have a great life with you and your family!

Take her to a vet clinic and see if she is microchipped. Don't take her to a shelter (especially being a pit bull-they always seem to get the short end of the stick). No kill shelters are just as bad as shelters, they will trade dogs to kill shelters if they can't place them. If she isn't microchipped you can put up signs…

My husband and I took our son to his 5 year check up with his doctor. When she was checking his testicles she could find one. His doctor said "I can't find your other testicle. When do you think it will come back?" Without missing a beat, he responds "Maybe when you stop touching it!" My husband, my son's doctor and I were…

Awesome job! You should be very proud of yourself! Keep it up and you'll kick butt at your 5K!!

Sounds like it is time for a new roommate.

This one by Metric! LOVE IT!!!! I tremble, they're gonna eat me alive If I stumble they're gonna eat me alive Can you hear my heart beating like a hammer? Beating like a hammer Help, I'm alive, my heart keeps beating like a hammer Hard to be soft, tough to be tender Come take my pulse, the pace is on a runaway train Help,…

Awesome job!!! Loved the post!

What are you eating before your workout? I have found that there are some foods that give me heartburn if I eat them before I exercise.

You look incredible! Keep it up!

Send a request! I have been running for about a year now. I will be doing half marathon #2 in April and have started training for a marathon (I think I have gone crazy!!). I also love to do 5K obstacles :drinker:

What do you normally snack on? Dried fruit Trail mix Apples Anything that you can put into a ziplock bag and into your purse.

1) You need to get better shoes. Go to a profession running store and have them fit you for shoes. 2) You need to strengthen the muscles in your legs, basically you need to push through the pain. Advil and ice works wonders! My husband bought me a vibrating back massager that I use on my calves and on the insides of my…

So not what I thought it was going to be :grumble:

Thanks for posting this! I love runtastic! Just downloaded the pro version!!!!

Quit weighting yourself so much. Also, you need to watch your calories, fat, and sodium intake.

Get DVDs like P90X or Insanity and have your two year old do it with you or do it when they are napping. My son will sometimes do P90X with me and he loves it, granted he is 8 but he still loves it.

Don't exercise. Your body needs all the rest that it can get. Your lungs need a break, esp if you have Bronchitis. You aren't going to lose muscle mass in a week or two, that takes months. However, your body will tire quicker once you have recovered.

^^HAHAHA!!!! I agree with you 110%. Don't EVER give a child snake venom or anything else like cold medicine to sleep.

I hate to say it, but let him cry. If you don't get him into a good sleep routine you are going to be miserable and so will he, ie you both will be exhausted. Children his age should be sleeping throughout the night and be getting 12-14 hours of uninterrupted sleep a night. Like everyone else has said, routine, routine,…

Do you have someone that would go with you? I've been at the gym before at night and I was the only girl with about 5 guys...I know how you feel. I got on the treadmill and ran and ignored them. On a lighter note, my father in law signed off on the Prudhoe Bay project in the 80's.

Welcome! Feel free to add me if you'd like! Best of luck to you!

Brussels sprouts. Baked with olive oil and balsamic vinegar and than broiled. They are to die for!!

Keep doing what you are doing and make sure you are using an inhaler. The more cardio you do the stronger your lungs will become. Keep your inhaler with you all the time. It is scary having an asthma attack. If the inhaler doesn't work, you may need to go on a steroid. There are lots of things that you can do for asthma. I…

If you are having all fruit smoothies, there is no problem-essentially it is the same as eating fruit. I am guessing the reason that "experts" say that smoothies are bad is most smoothie shops add ice cream to theirs. I sometimes add a little bit of plain non fat yogurt to mine, along with the fruit.

"Those hills were a killer. I can't wait to do them again tomorrow!" My favorite is when my husband says "You're in a bad mood, go run". :)

That sounds like it is a healthy weight loss. Loosing between 0.5-2lbs a week is healthy.
