Pregnancy is such a tough balance. I've met so many women determined to maintain, when they need to allow themselves to gain (base recommendations are 10lbs at least). My first pregnancy I only gained ten due to first trimester barfing dropping me five before I gained 15 in second and third. This was just by eating when I…

It was the BMO half in Vancouver. Congrats on your run as well!
-
It went really well I think. I finished within the 3 hours (which was my goal)! It was the first super nice day of the year, so of course the water stations all ran out halfway through, which made it really hard. But finished in 2:36 which I was happy with. I think I can improve that next year (and will bring at least 1…

It's all toxins. You should put your cat on a juice cleanse for at least 5 days. Cats just love it. They shed the unsightly facial hair as well!

I have no advice specific to adderall. But I had oral surgery three weeks ago which killed ANY desire to eat. I made really calorie dense smoothies (protein powder, peanut butter, spinach for greenness, banana, dates) to keep myself fed. Good luck and I hope your appetite gets better soon!

this thread just gave me hope for the MFP forums! Good work Suze, and good work to everyone who was willing to offer up advice that can be somewhat unpopular (eat more... mmmmm)

So my runs this week have been 4.5, 3, and 5. Yesterday was rest, today is cross, and tomorrow is 7.

I had two cats when my baby was born - and have had cats my entire life (rescued usually). One of our cats became really blase around the baby when she was about 4 months old, and we were like, cool, this works. The other cranky one, stayed the hell away from beeb. Worked for all. Then, a couple of months later when the…

Keep trying! My back squat is 130, and I can JUST NOW push press 55lbs. I was on 45 for, umm... 6 months? Don't get discouraged and enjoy the humble moments!

And to echo the lifestyle/age discussions... You are at a great age to build a lifestyle that creates a healthier you. Go for this option! It's practice and perseverance and changes that have to become routine. I know a lot of women who started crash dieting in their twenties, and all it did was start up a brutal cycle of…

No.no.no. links do not make false statements true. No.no.

If intent in that speed, I've heard the one effective measure is surgical removal. Lots of biggest losers use it post competition. There's a reason they stop taking their shirts off in the later weeks.
-
Yesterday was gym day, so I got to lift some heavy things. Today was 4.5 m that felt awesome!
-
6.25 mile run today at my standard pace (12). Feel confident that I'll finish the half in may, even if slow!
-
I'll take it one step further. I am lactose intolerant in most situations. Unless I'm preggers. Considering another kid and this thought has actually crossed my mind: 'I could eat Reese's pieces blizzards again...'
-
if people want to spend money to lose weight why not hire a trainer? they'll be much more effective and not give you heart palpitations (raise your heart rate though)

dear person mad at parents asking for ideas - stop it! that's silly! people constantly post about having trouble finding time to work out as parents/teenagers/workers/students/ballerinas. no one is coddling a parent. lots of people struggle to find a balance, and when you actually have a little person that means you can't…

I work out three ways having an 18 month old and a fulltime job. My options are 5:30 AM while everyone is asleep. This is hard for me. I hate mornings. But it has gotten much easier and I feel awesome all day. 4 PM if I go to work early, then I can leave early and workout before picking my kid up. Anytime with my kid - I…
-
it's so funny that it can be that simple. have been lifting weights since the baby was born, but wasn't tracking food. started tracking 10 days ago, and will be down 4lbs when I do my next weight entry. I eat back my exercise, and don't feel horribly deprived at all. but see, the trick is, this is all active. it's all…

I work full time and have a toddler. I have to prioritize workouts, but find I can run 4 days a week, have really long walks 1 day a week, and weight train 1. I used to do more weights, but I'm focusing on running since I'm training for a half in May. I run mostly at a silly time in the morning since it's the easiest time…

well it kinda 'cleanses' the tree when the tap it and drain the sap to make syrup... maybe that's the connection?
-
pb, avocado, almond butter, chocolate protein powder.... mmmmmm

Do people really think aunt jemima is real maple syrup? is this weird? is it a canadian thing that we don't count that as real?

It sounds like you are planning to eat really clean for 10 days if you are going to have chicken and veg. As someone with a lot of food allergies, I often have to reset with a clean diet for a week or so, which makes me feel better if I've accidentally had soy or wheat. So I really understand wanted to eat clean. And lemon…
-
wait ten days to reply to the note - and eat everything that you can in the process. oh, and apply any applicable post beauty regime items left as well. 10 days worth.
-
I think the answer is already contained in the responses - the way to reaching the higher calorie total with a vegan whole foods diet is through your calorie dense foods. Reality is you have lots of low calorie foods, and then some that are super high in fats and calories and they are all good for you, and it will be the…

I know women that didn't lose weight just from BF due to a huge huge increase in hunger, and their bodies just held onto everything it could. So if that doesn't work, don't worry. I started walking with the baby every day and that made a huge difference (also to my mental health). I actually found it really hard to lose…
-
Uh.. yes. I guess 25 is not between 30-40, but losing 30 would not be bad. And if you'll take me anyway would love to stay in.
-
33, and would like to lose another 25 - but i'm comfortable with 20 if my muscles take over. Running 4/week and lifting 2/ week. Running my first half-marathon in May. Would totally like to join!
-
Since you plan to run a 5 k, I'd recommend a programming that helps you increase to that distance - but if you can run already for 30 mins you are almost there. IMO, weights make a greater impact, but I've just reduced my weights to 1/ week since I'm training for a half marathon. Since you are doing an obstacle 5k why not…
