  • When I used to run, I loved Saucony and I bought them at Marshall's or TJ Maxx ALWAYS at a steep discount. I disagree with the whole "going to a specialty running store" unless you're a marathoner or you have lots of extra money to burn. You won't get anything cheaper there for sure :)

  • Ooh, me too! I love messing with baking recipes and do it all the time. One thing I've found that helps TREMENDOUSLY is using backstrap molasses in place of sugar.

  • Hi, I'm new here (only 3 days in) but trying to think of something that might help you: 1) Are you getting at least 8 hours of sleep every day? 2) Are you sure you're remembering to log in EVERYTHING that goes into your mouth, including cough drops, drinks, etc.? 3) Have you noticed your clothing (non-elastic-waist, LOL)…
