Nuts are good as well-- just don't eat too many at once.

Carrot chips or an apple, dried cranberries or raisins. Plus side is they are shelf stable(except for the carrots).

New to the group. Not quite running ready, but am getting there!

THat is a fast pace... When I am in shape, a comfortable, non breathless pace for me is 5.7... I could probably do 6.5, but not for an extended period. C25K is a GREAT program, but isvery similar you your approach, you alternate between running andwalking,icreasing therunning intervals and shortening the walking ones.…

I thought maybe this was just me... My digestion got really messed up for a few days after I went off my healthy foods diet...

Had a lady in a retail store tellme that I had one once... no offence taken...

I'm 5'2", so pretty much everyone is taller than me... I prefer them not to be too tall though, no cricks in the neck when kissing, their face is inmine when we are snuggling, instead of his chest... But I do like them taller than me... Am I too picky? lol

I breastfed 2 children, and I guess I am just a modest person...I was never comfortable doing it in public, even with a blanket, shawl, whatever... But I think if a woman is comfortable, and discreet, then go for it! :smile:

15 Missouri resident here... "show me state"... aka seeing is believing... or Prove it... I also live in the metropolitain city where the incident was located... We aren't that closed minded... however, this was a family oriented water park... in other words, mainly for families with kiddos... there is a water park nearby…

I see what everyone here is saying... But saturated fat IS the "bad" fat that everyone should stay away from...you want omega3, and monounsaturated

No kidding! The discussion boards can be addictive!! Best of luck!!

I LOVE my foam roller! Best advice I ever got! Haha to the zombie thread!

You could do circuit or strength... on various internet sources (i looked it up months ago), the average calories burned is about 248 I think... As long as I get ripped abs, I don't really care!! Good luck!

I've never tried the diet either, my bestie did, but I do think it is not healthy and dangerous... and I told her that too, many years ago when the diet was very popular. Anything that tells me I need to cut out an entire food group sends up a red flag to me. As for the foods you can eat... fried bacon, fried eggs, peanut…

I'm not sure if I ever had the gap or not, but I do not remember having the chafing problem that I am having now... 3 babies later and no gap... I have very narrow hips... Maybe I'm just still too fat there! Tight running shorts alleviate the chafing problem though, unless they are too short! Maybe baby powder to combat…

I have heard many guys say that a lot of women on the dating websites (i was on one for a couple of years), even if they dopost a full body picture, it must be years old, because then when they actually meet, it is NOTHING like the picture they posted, and usually not in a good way. I have seen profiles that don't exactly…

That is not an excessively low blood pressure, and as long as you are not getting dizzy you should be fine. (high blood pressure sufferer since age 31 speaking) I would definitely NOT eat salt to try and raise it! If you are concerned, call your doctor. Oops just re read your post... CALL YOUR DOCTOR!!!

I was thinking the same thing as some others... it depends on your height/build... And considering you have gone down several sizes-- well done!!! You are thin for you!! I don't think a size 10 is really big either... And it's true... thesame size on the tag in different stores is NOT always the same size... You always…

Love it!!

I once tried to go commando in my compression shorts... Can we say Chafing anyone? So, back I went to my nice comfy cotton "mom undies" (not granny panties). I'm in it to get in shape, not for a fashion show.

My best advice regarding tattoos is to never get one you would be embarrassed to tell you grandchildren about... Me at age 6 "grampa, why do you have a picture of a naked woman on your arm?" True story... His reply: "I was in the navy and stupid". Hetried very hard to get it removed, but it is still there. I have one on my…

36 or 37, but mine are white too... And now I have a "tuft" of white, right in the front... I dye about every 5 or 6 months, because I hate losing my highlights...

Since you said you love running, I would take the running store and shoe advice... You shouldnt have to give up something you love!:flowerforyou:

Done, with super challenge!

I accept!

Sodium, cholesterol, and grease... it's a heart attack waiting to happen... :smile:

My dad was a diabetic, and health professionals recommend he take cinnamon (which can be found in capsule form), or add it to food, because it has been found to have positive results in terms of insulin response. It can also act as an appetite suppressant. The capsules also leave you with a nice cinnamony breath...

I love having curves as well-- and men love those womanly curves-- not sticks! All I want gone is my pooch and the muffin top... You go girl-- you have support right here!!

Granola bars-- I would eat an entire box in one sitting... TONS of calories!

My dad tried that Adkins, no carb diet... He ate fried eggs and bacon, spoonfulls of peanut butter, and fried hamburgers almost every day... He insisted it would help him lose weight, and his Dr. recommended it... He got the pleasure of quadruple bypass surgery at age 58 or 59, and then died of a heart attack at age 64...…
