Keep in mind that baby has to be 6 months old before you can jog with them (neck and brain casing can't handle the jostling yet). I didn't realize that when I bought one, and by the time my kiddo was old enough, she didn't like being in there long enough to complete a run. That said, it depends on your price range. BOB…

Extra fluid from IV, water retention from drugs, and swelling from the surgery will all factor in. Just worry about getting better now! You'll be back to normal soon.

My husband has this too. He can do cooked and sometimes frozen... Something about freezing can help destroy the pollen like cooking can. Have you ever tried thawing frozen berries or something and giving that a try?

I'm 5'7"and 143 lbs. Currently wearing medium shirts and size 6 (occasionally 4) pants. I have a looooot of recomping to do before I can fit in my old 0 -2 jeans and size xs-s shirts, as I was 135 when those fit. I can't imagine 8 lbs shrinking me that much!

As mentioned, Vitamin D level itself shouldn't really affect weight, but what it can do when it is low is bring down your energy levels, which in turn can affect your TDEE as you may be moving less. I have fought with extremely low vitamin d levels for a few years and I'm definitely sluggish when I drop too low.

I have basilar type migraines, which are like hemiplegic minus the paralysis. I also have chronic vertigo and nystagmus from a head injury and the migraines and it makes it very hard to compensate long term so my balance is terrible. Botox does the most for me preventative wise, but I still pass out a lot and lose speech…

I forgot about star fruit! LOVE. I have not seen them this year!

Just got my first with plans for more! This one is just a simple cartoon character that has personal meaning for me.

Guava (especially the wild strawberry guavas), mango, pomegranate, cherries, passion fruit, and more but those are my top!

This. The formulas are rarely accurate. If you care enough you can field test yourself to find your max hr but unless you are seriously concerned, perceived exertion should be just fine (assuming you are otherwise healthy)

Movies that are so bad I enjoy them- Joe's Apartment Gone in 60 seconds House of Wax National Treasure 1+2 Mimic There are many more... I'll have to keep brainstorming and check some of these other suggestions out!

Yeah the snuff films in that movie were creepy as hell. The Descent freaked me out, but not really the true horror aspects of it. The climbing and claustrophobic filming aspects were what was truly scary to me. I Really enjoyed Pulse (the original foreign film). Very artistic. Honestly, I don't scare easily and will be…

I've had them since I was 11. Yes, eleven, not a typo :( Elevation, compression, etc. does help. Massaging back towards the heart while elevated also feels good on my legs. Some day when I'm rich maybe I'll get them fixed!

I figured that's the medication you were going to say. Depakote sucks. Anyway, I was going to say what @PeachyCarol already did, but so much better than I could have. So a big +1 to her.

Yep, this. It is possible. You're not allergic to the specific fruit, per se, but rather you are allergic to the pollen. My husband has this. He pretty much can't eat any fresh produce without his throat swelling, but can eat a number of items after they have been cooked to death. It's a shame because there are so many raw…

I'll leave this quiz here. This thread is reminding me of it! It was based on linguistic research or something along those lines. It's fun to look through all the other options... Definitely never heard some of them before! http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2013/12/20/sunday-review/dialect-quiz-map.html?_r=0

I get a total of about 3 minutes for lunch most days when I need to eat at work, so I get McDonald's pretty often and eat it on the run. Usually just something like a mcdouble and a diet coke. I don't like the fries so I don't waste my calories on them. I get a meal for 350-450 calories which keeps me satiated until…

Do you not eat meat? There are lots of lean cuts if you do. Also Greek yogurt is awesome. Unsweetened Fage is around 20g per single serving tub (6 Oz I think) depending on the percent milk fat you choose.

Drink your calories. This is one of those times when it could really be a benefit. When I was on Topamax and losing too quickly, I upped my fats in just about everything and on top would sip on things like apple juice, boost/ensure, etc. or drink smoothies. Basically whatever I could stomach without wanting to puke.…

Not sure about their status in the UK, but here both Lululemon and Inknburn come to mind. Even Nike and other major brands have coordinated lines now.

I have a few chronic health issues, though the major one that ruins my exercise plans is chronic vertigo and imbalance from a head injury. It waxes and wanes in severity, and right now I've been falling off of stationary objects so I'm doing the best I can to stay consistent. I've been managing OK with diet overall, and I…

You're not eating back exercise calories, are you? Normally that's how one would do it with MFP but you mentioned that you lumped all of your exercise into your activity level so if you're eating it back you may be essentially double counting those calories and ending up with too much intake.

I can't help with the mental side (very sorry for your loss) but I've been there with surgery. 8 week recovery, first 5 bed rest. Really recovery should be your first focus. Since I could do nothing, I picked up some old hobbies I could do while sitting on the couch. Since I couldn't do anything physical, I found things to…

When I lived somewhere with actual mountains, we used to plan hikes around finding the various trinkets. It was loads of fun.

Holy moly, 25?! Do you have a walk in aviary for them? We have 8 in a large flight cage. Plus two snakes and a really old goldfish.

I love the flip belt. I hate fanny packs or anything around my waist as they always bounced and rode up and drove me nuts, but the flip belt really does stay in place. there are other brands of a similar item... Maybe they would carry your size if flipbelt doesn't have it in stock?

I'm a Yurbuds convert. They the only pair not to fall out of my small ears. I got mine at Marshalls so they were only 12 bucks.

how many calories are you eating per day? with your medical condition, your calorie needs may be less right now. maybe talking to your doctor to make sure everything is ok there is a good place to start. In the meantime, I did the math, and 24 pounds over 3 years is only an excess of 77 calories a day approximately. with…

What type of laxatives do you use? Some can cause dependence over the long term. Others are approved for long term use, and if your meds are stopping you up, maybe your doctor would want you on one. I use miralax, which takes awhile to kick in, but really helps one it does. It should only hinder your weight loss in the…

Never tried them, but I've seen "skinny syrup" at Walmart and grocery stores alike. The bottle looks like this: http://www.amazon.com/Jordans-Skinny-Gourmet-Sugar-Free-Caramel/dp/B00J228BLC Personally, I mix one flavored creamer (coldstone sweet cream creamer is my fav) and one regular half and half. The calorie hit isn't…
