  • In my case, I get lightheaded when standing up because I have low blood pressure. I just recently spoke with my doctor about it, who reaffirmed what I already know.

  • I found out while running my first 8k that MapMyRun was inaccurate and it had me believing I was running faster than I actually was. That was a disappointment because I set my goals based off of what MapMyRun calculated. After that I started using both MapMyRun and my husband's garmin watch. I found MapMyRun is…

  • I've wondered this too. I was an obese child, my brothers were not, but they were active in sports. I've struggled my whole life with weight (almost down to a healthy weight range now). My kids are still quite young, but I've noticed my daughter will eat, eat, eat, while my son rarely finishes his snacks. I struggle with…

  • I have a desk job and 2 young kids at home. I've lost 30lbs in the last 6 months. I eat breakfast at work (yogurt parfait or overnight oats). It's easier for me to avoid extra mid-morning snacking if I eat at 8am at work, rather than 6am at home. I meal plan dinners for the week and make extra. I take what I made for…

  • I used to think those types of labels were ridiculous and silly. Like, how dumb can people be?!? Then I had a child who has a food allergy and I had to start reading all the food labels.

  • I have an almost 2 year old and a 3 year old. I work full time. I've accepted that it's going to be a slow, long rode with lots of ups and downs. I've only managed to lose 6 lbs in the last 6 months, but at least I wasn't gaining. Add me.
