My husband is doing the cooking for Christmas so I have the advantage of knowing what we will be having and I'll be able to accurately track my calories. Whether or not I go for a run in the afternoon is still up for debate at this point but I will definitely be logging.

I core my apples and then weigh them. I do NOT use the small, medium, large entries in the database, I go by weight for everything.

DATES CLOSED: 12/21/2013 - 1/1/2014 Sucks big time but that's what I get for using my University's gym.

thank you :)

It did :) I got lots of comments saying "cutest announcement ever!" haha and thank you :)

I'll be 15 weeks tomorrow, this was taken yesterday. This was how we announced my pregnancy on Facebook :)

Pretty darn close to what I'm actually burning :)

Thanks. I run a 5k a minimum of 3 days a week and my burns are always just over 400 and I am full on running the whole time.

I mean clearly my burn rate MUST be wrong, it's not like I've lost much weight...

And you know this because you use my heart rate monitor or my BodyMedia device? Get off your high horse, every time I read one of your posts I want to smack you.

I burn over 400 running a 5k every single time I run it. I'm a female, 5'7", 171 lbs (not severely obese, 12 lbs overweight.)

I'd love RunKeeper friends, I just started using it last month and would love to be motivated by others! My username on there is the same as here: MandyMason7 feel free to add me!

I work out first thing in the morning, it starts my day off in a healthy manner and gives me energy for the day. I do not eat anything before I start my workout.

I just took their test and it had me on "balanced slim-down" with a goal of 1900 calories per day. The balanced slim-down has a goal of 40/30/30 which just happens to be what my macros are already set to.

I've noticed I started showing about two weeks ago (I'm 14 weeks now) but figured it was all in my head, however, while standing in a very long 4 hour line at Best Buy on Friday as soon as I took my sweatshirt off the woman in front of me asked how far along I am. I was almost shocked to hear the question because I'm still…

Not true. It actually takes a bit of time to "learn" you. Yes, there is a 10% margin of error but it's much more accurate than using gym equipment or other online calculators.

I absolutely love my Link and wish I would've bought it earlier in my journey than I did. I've had it since July and would be lost without it at this point.

I'm still running at least 3 times a week, I also use the elliptical. As for classes, I still do cardio kickboxing and Zumba. I'm determined to stay in shape with this pregnancy, I've worked way too hard prior to getting pregnant to just stop now.

Everyone in my family is hoping for a girl this time. I've had two boys and we'd really love to complete our family with a little girl. I'm not getting my hopes up and I keep telling everyone it's a boy. When I was pregnant with my second son I knew from the moment I found out we were expecting that he was a boy. I never…

Get the Bolthouse farms yogurt ranch dressing. That stuff is delicious and only 45 calories for 2 tablespoons. I am a ranch fiend and I love that dressing!

Funny that I open this thread right after I get back home from Zumba haha

I've lost 14 lbs since I got pregnant, I'll be 13 weeks on Sunday. I'm kind of worried about what my doctor may say at my appointment on Tuesday. My BMI is still 26.8 so I'm still overweight but only by 12 lbs from the very highest healthy weight for my height.

NOTHING and I had a whole 800+ calorie Cinnabon! Eating delicious food does not make me feel guilty ever.

My running list: Katy Perry - Roar Imagine Dragons - Radioactive Selena Gomez - Come & Get It Seether - Fake It David Guetta/Sia - Titanium Miranda Lambert - Fastest Girl In Town Of Monsters and Men - Little Talks Florida Georgia Line/Nelly - Cruise (Remix) Kelly Clarkson - Catch My Breath Journey - Don't Stop Believing…

Please get off the internet.

I'll be at work so it'll be a typical day for me.

I absolutely GUARANTEE your BMR is WAY higher than 1101. http://iifym.com/bmr-calculator/

I disagree. I gained about 75 lbs during the course of my 7 year marriage and when I decided in January that enough was enough my husband has been nothing but 100% supportive in my lifestyle change. He cooks our dinners and portions mine out for me without me having to remind him. He isn't very active at all unfortunately,…
