I've got 4 (9, 7, 4, & 1). I've tried many different things. What has worked recently and what I'm currently doing is getting up at 5:30am to work out in my basement. I alternate between runnin 3 miles and doing a calisthenics work out, about 30min/day. Nothing crazy, but enough to keep me tone and in shape. It's…

spicy sweet potato fries or wedges! peel and cut potato into the size of fry you want to eat, mix fries with about 1/2 tbsp of olive oil for each large potato (I use 2 tbsp when I make 4 potatoes worth of fries). Mix in salt, cumin, and cayenne pepper to taste. for 4 sweet potatoes I use 1-2 tsp salt, 1 tsp cumin, and 1/2…

I know it's frustrating, we can't control where we store fat, only how much fat we store. Maybe it would be helpful to do a reliable body fat assessment. that way you will know if you even have room to lose fat, or if you just have to be ok with it. If you're at 25% or even 22-23 you could conceivably go down 17-18% and…

so what I'm saying is if you go in there and you're under 22%, just embrace your God given strong beautiful legs!!!!

Have you done a true body composition test? I find it really helpful. And I'm not talking calipers or electrodes, but either a Bod Pod test or the water displacement test. Check google for places near you that have a Bod Pod, it's air displacement and is quite accurate if you follow the instructions. It's easy and fast,…

Every Friday I make a homemade (regular pizza, not "healthy" recipe) pizza on a large cookie sheet, cut it into 24 square pieces. 6 pieces (1/4 of the pizza) is very filling. You can eat this weekly and still stay w/in goals. The following recipe has reasonable nutritional analysis, but could be made even better if…

I also love the Hal Higdon plans, there is one for everyone!!! They are easy to understand, and reasonable to do. I used this for training for my 1st and 2nd half marathon, and I know some others who used it to train to walk a 1/2 marathon. If you're just starting out you can also look into the "couch to 5k" or "couch to…

I'm currently nursing my almost 9-month old, she's nursing 4x a day, plus 3 meals. I have my calorie goal settings set at 1200 kcal a day, and then under "cardio" i add in 500 kcal for nursing, so I eat a total of 1700 a day if I don't exercise. This is my 4th baby, and in my own experience my milk supply has always been…

I have a friend that is really into it, and she looks like a different person than when I met her. Prior to doing it she ran her first 1/2 marathon in about 2hrs 35min. She's short so it was a jog pace for her. When she was younger she was an athlete (gymnast, college cheerleader). Doing crossfit helped her lose the last…
