I would try on different shoes and see what's comfortable - I have both Brooks and Asics stability shoes ( I rotate my shoes each day and workout) they are both 'running' shoes and I don't do much running mostly walking but they have the support that I need. I trying on the shoes and walk around the store a bit, do some…

I think the OP was referring to a Planter - like a large pot that you plant the plants in - not a plant that is in the ground. I think the worst I hear and its daily - is "I can't eat ...such & such... because I'm on a diet" --insert cookie, cupcake, pizza, chocolate, etc.... I always end up replying with a comment that…

sandwiches are good along with fruit or veggies pre-sliced and ready to eat - I would buy them then cut them up and put away (well the ones you can like carrots, cucumbers, celery etc.. Have you thought of a baby carrier like a Moby or sling - that really helped me with my last two and gave me the free hands I needed to…

my pic is about 5 years old .....cause the baby is now 6............Its one of very few that I have with me in it that I like so to speak

You will hear multiple things about what is or is not safe during pregnancy --the thing is every fetus can be affected differently to anything. Personally I had caffeine and ..gasp...lunch meat with all three pregnancies (well the first and third the 2nd I couldn't hold anything down for 30 of the 34 weeks that I carried…

For now we do 2%-I do it more for the slightly lower calories though could go either way - took forever to get my dh down to that from whole milk----though if I can get it I prefer Raw Milk - makes the best milkshakes and mac & Cheese is so much creamier :)

I have some super comfy and great looking Levi's in my dresser size 9 - I am going to be in (eventually)

I was about 230ish when I started - I took pictures and measurements along with weighing myself. I am 199 now (14 of what I lost was in the last two months). I found that pictures about every two months and measurements about monthly really help me to "see" how my body has truly changed - with my last set of pictures I…

I have long hair and usually end up washing about twice a day - I use a mix btwn herbal essence (for color treated hair), Head and shoulders, and No Brand (from Sally's) "Paul Mitchell Tea Tree" Shampoo and Conditioner. Not at the same time lol I use Head and Shoulders at least twice a week. I also use either Organix Argon…

I don't go out of my way to tell people - mostly cause I have the problem with people questioning my food choices which kind of makes me grouchy - so I have a cookie with my lunch doesn't mean I "fell off my diet", it means that I had 1 cookie and not 10 which is ok. I have a few close friends that know but that's about…

1 cup plain yogurt, 1 cup strawberries (and or mixed berries), I banana (if you like, I do) and some raw sugar or other sweetner of your choice to taste (such as sun crystals etc.. I usually do about 2 tbls) mix well, sometimes I need to add some water or ice depending on if the strawberries are frozen or room temp.

Ok, well I didn't read everyone reply but here is what I do - I am taking classes full time, and I work full time 3-12hour days - also have three children and husband. I commute about an hour (give or take traffic) to work and school. I work out at night around 8pm after the kids are in bed- I have a treadmill (which I…

yes go to your food diary then in the menu below the "my home, food, etc" click on settings scroll down and you can change food groups - such as breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner, snack etc.. or I have seen some with times instead of meal names

I have it but not yet - Dh bought it for my B-day so I will get it tomorrow, at least he better have cause when I said I needed to stop and get it - he was like no you should wait till your B-day and see what you get.....

In a way I do - I wear a Fitbit so it counts all my steps - though if my diary says I have calories from my fitbit I acknowledge them but I don't count them as exercise calories just extra that I may have burned - my days vary whether I am at work, home, or school so the amount I walk each day can vary from 2,000 to 12,000…

I drink prob 3-4 - 20oz mountain dews (regular, diet soda gives me migraines) a week - usually on the days I am working (up at 4:30a and not in bed till around 11p if lucky so I need the caffeine) I have been losing an average of 2 pounds a week for the last month or so. I just fit it into my calories for the day -

I can honestly say that I lost zero weight while breastfeeding my youngest two children - Any weight I did lose was after I stopped, which can be frustrating as most of the women I know who have kids my age all seemed to drop the weight while breastfeeding - just shows that everyone is different

this is great - I always hated just tossing bras that had hardly been worn - and with a tween whos growing I am sure we will have a few to send in when I go though mine :) thanks for posting

Raw milk is great - But you need to make sure the farm where you get it from is very clean and sanitary. It is not illegal in some states to buy raw milk but is it some - though its not illegal to purchase a share of the cow from the farmer and thus you are able to partake in a portion of the cows milk since you own part…

I would go with the rubber coated - also since there is a place to put your hands you can use them without the bar easier too

It help you stay hydrated and for me it helps cause if I am drinking water ( I carry a 32 oz bottle with me everywhere) I am not tempted to buy something to drink - which would 100% of the time be Mt Dew, which I still drink but limit to 1 20oz a day and usually only on the days I am working. It also help if I am…

holy crap - I am lucky to do a full push up, though I did like the superman and the 360 wow

I have children though have about 70 pounds or so left but I do have a friend with 4 kids that went from above 200 to about 130 and her stomach is pretty much flat - I had no idea that she had been overweight until we were talking one day in a group about working out and she had mentioned something about taking about a…

I am taking classes and working full time along with a family so I get how being busy can be a prob -I have found that packing healthy snacks with me helps a lot esp since I tend to go through the day without eating - I would eat before leaving around 8am and then not till after 5p when I got home. I carry a bottle of…

my activity at my job can vary too - I have it set to lightly active as that is what it is most of the time, then log what's extra - at least till you get your fitbit

Honestly I would pull the Dr. card with people who wont leave you alone - just say something like the only person I take advice from about my health and weight is my Dr. - for most hard to argue with that one. And like AzKristi said most people are so used to seeing overweight people that healthy looks underweight to them.

I think it depends on what type you are doing if it is more of a relaxing stretching yoga then yes on a rest day should be good, but if you doing something like Bob's Warrior Yoga I consider that a workout. I do some sort of stretching/yoga on my rest day each week when I wake up helps me start the day

I would guess it depends on when you are planning on joining - it is possible to lose the weight but it takes time so if you plan on joining in like a year then yes you could but not if you want to join in a few months. Along with eating healthier foods you need exercise - depending on what branch you are joining find out…

there are some for larger chested women they just usually cost more and are a bit harder to find - most of the sports stores around me don't carry them (I guess they expect everyone who is active to be under a size L) Moving Comfort is a great on with a couple of different styles the Fiona and Juno are ones I have heard…

Great Job :)
