I know it sounds weird, but exercising during that time always made me feel better. Mood, cramps, bloating...everything seemed to improve after a good workout. I mean what is the alternative...taking a week off every month? That's not consistent or very conducive to progress. Unless your symptoms are extremely…

I also have noticed that my belly flap(which is significantly larger and scarier than yours lol) is in a different location and looks more prominent in certain areas now that I have lost some weight. Here is my theory as to why that has happened...there used to more weight pulling it down...so when it was larger, most of…

"Don't play ball in the house." Wait...that wasn't my mama. That was Mrs. Brady from the Brady Bunch. LOL. MY mama said "Sigue así y vas a ver lo que te pasa!" :laugh:

Hi Steph! Love the title of your post! I'm a 42 year old mom of four. I know where you're coming from. My kids are older(16-22). Although I always encouraged them all to be active in sports(soccer, baseball, track & wrestling) and shuttled them around to all of their practices, somewhere along the line, I stopped being…

That's a nice setup right there. I'm working on building something similar...but somewhat larger, in my backyard. :wink:

I'm almost 5 months into my weight loss journey and I've had that happen to me a few times along the way(dropping and then putting back on a couple of pounds). Try not to over think it. Just keep going. As for eating back exercise cals...I eat back at least half of mine if not more depending on how hungry I am and I have…

Don't eliminate the things you like neccessarily...but DO try to replace some things with healthier lower calorie alternatives whenever possible.

Marla, you poor baby, hope you feel better soon. I had a pretty great week...met all of the goals that I set for myself on my running. I'm up to 9 miles now and I'm pretty happy with my time. Confident that I'll be ready for the half-marathon in October. The hubby and kids gave me some cool new running shoes for Mother's…

Hi! Thanks! Welcome to MFP! I was(and still am lol) super stoked about it. Thanks for the cheer too...that was awesome.:happy: An NSV is a non-scale victory.

Count me in! I'd like to lose another 20 pounds by Memorial Day. :smile:

Thanks for addressing this. I was wondering about that too. Guess I didn"t realize how "mini" mini cupcakes are. Haha. :laugh:

These sound great...so many possibilities. I've been wanting to experiment with low calorie baking. Thanks for posting this recipe! One question though...I saw that you mentioned that if you make a batch of 48 mini cupcakes, they are 19 calories each and if you make a batch of 24 regular sized cupcakes, they are about 90…
