  • I'm not trying to rain on your parade, so please take this as constructive advice and not a harsh lecture! - Don't cut out things you enjoy, like chocolate.

  • I second this! I'm 13.5 weeks today and I'm also struggling with figuring out my calorie intake. Unfortunately, I had very little energy to exercise much during the 1st trimester and I had some crazy munchies and carb cravings (and no morning sickness), which resulted in ~8 lbs gained to date. I know it's not safe to…

    in Tracking your run? Comment by ultimatekatie February 2015
  • When do you run? I get stomach crampy/light headed if I run first thing in the morning. I've become an after-work runner because I just can't hack running in the A.M. What I've found works for me is eating a 300-400 cal lunch around 1:00ish, with a small "quick energy" snack like a Larabar or Kind bar around 3:30 or 4:00.…

It took awhile to realize that while I typically ate healthy foods, my actual habits of *eating* were not healthful. Here's all the things I found that helped me break those bad…

  • There's a really good herbal tea by Traditional Medicinals called Throat Coat. It's amazingly soothing and I *chug* it down when sick. They also make Breathe Easy which helps the throat a little bit, but really works some magic on chest congestion. You can usually find it at Safeway or Kroger stores in the regular tea…

  • Me too! My wedding is 7/4/15 and my goal is to lose 30 pounds. I'm 5'5 and started at 170ish; I was 150 when we started dating 3.5 years ago but I had been 140-145 in college. So far I'm 9 lbs down but every time I hit 158ish, I celebrate a little too much or lay off the gym for a few days, and go back up to 163. Does…
