A LOT of people toot in yoga classes, it's a common side effect...especially for newbies. It gets better as your body and muscles adjust to the new ways your are moving and stretching.

That whole "eating for two" is outdated and unnecessary. Dont use pregnancy as an excuse to over-indulge in treats. From the Mayo Clinic website: Here's a breakdown of baby weight: •Baby: 7 to 8 pounds (about 3 to 3.6 kilograms) •Larger breasts: 2 pounds (about 1 kilogram) •Larger uterus: 2 pounds (about 1 kilogram)…

I'm going to have a donut tonight, and I'm not going to feel a bit guilty about it. It's one little donut...a Krispy Kreme plain glazed is 190 calories. I'm not going to eat a whole box. If 1 donut/200 calories is the tipping point, I have bigger problems to work on.

I bought a TON of clearance Easter candy, then ate a bunch of it this weekend. My sweet tooth is out of control lately, and my summer pants are all too tight, so I've decided to re-do Phase 1 of the south beach diet after 10 years in maintenance.

Confessions: I've gained 10lbs since my wedding last year. YIKES!!! 6 of those lbs have been in the last 3 months. (chocolate chocolate chocolate) stupid Valentines and Easter candy. My husband has joined me in this bit of weight gain...he's up, I'm guessing, 15-20lbs. We both feel fat and gross... I refuse to buy bigger…

39 yrs old, 5'2", weigh 145, size 6/8. Currently eating 1400-1600 to maintain while we are TTC. Exercise is walking. When trying to lose, I'm between 1200-1300 for 1lb a week, with exercise being walking and Pure Barre 3x weekly.

I had un-planned pizza Sunday, and will have planned pizza tomorrow, but it won't derail me. The un-planned pizz was a nice surprise, and although it's wasn't the most healthful choice I made all week, it was darn delicious. The planned pizza tomorrow won't be much better, but I don't feel guilty about it either. I like…

Don't beat yourself up about it. You can't UN-eat food. So you had some pizza. It's not going to suddenly magically destroy the progress you've made. Did it taste better than it made you feel bad? Take it as a lesson learned, and tomorrow is a new day.

5'2" Current weight: 144 (sz 6-8) Current goal: maintain until I get pregnant Pregnancy goal weight: 165 Ultimate goal weight: 140 (sz 6)

first one was 2012, changed it to more current, March 2014.

I'm a 32G, I wear an ENELL sports bra. As a runner, I cannot have bounce. The ENELL bra keeps my girls firmly in place and provides relief from my shoulders and back. It is specifically designed for larger breasts, and at a 32G, I ordered one of their smaller ones.

I only use real butter, sweet cream unsalted. It's natural and tastes WAY better!! I also like to use "bacon butter"...bacon fat. We cook bacon on the weekends, strain the fat throught cheesecloth and freeze it. Stick a tsp. into any vegetable and instannt yummy. Also cuts down on the need for salt.

I can't eat gluten anymore, so a lot of my old fattie-fat-fatterson meals are out of the question no matter how bad I want them. No pizza, no burgers, no pasta. but nachos...oh I can still l have nachos. Recently ordered a huge order of chicken nachos and ate them all. felt horrible for a few hours after, but I really…

For me and my husband and a dog, I spend on average $200 every two weeks, including household items like dog food, toilet paper, soap or shampoo, etc. Some weeks are higher, some are lower, depending on if I go to Costco (higher) or if I've just been to Costco (lower). Also, if I'm making a new or complicated recipe, that…

38 to be exact.

^^ 40-ish....

Guilty as charged. I'm from Alabama, raised in a military family, my husband from rural Florida, raised on an orange grove. The south has a lot of "proper" rules that the rest of the country probably finds odd or antiquated. I don't wear white before Easter or after Labor Day, I always offer guests a glass of sweet tea…

Seriously. My mother taught us that bodily functions were perfectly normal to have, but not appropriate to share. Bathroom stuff is private, and it is unladylike to discuss such things, especially in mixed company. My husband was raised very similarly, although being a guy he could get away with more than he chooses to. We…

If you're not really interested in losing a bunch more weight, merely want to get some muscle definition, try something low impact that involves weights, resistance, and stretching. Contrary to popular belief, there are many ways to build and refine muscle that don't involve stereo-typical "weight lifting" methods. Yes,…

Totally serious. It's a common courtesy in our house. In the 4 years we've been together, he has never heard me poot...nor have I heard him, with them exception being once in his sleep. There have been a few times that I couldn't help it and I was able to blame the dog, but otherwise I will just go "cropdust" another room…

I get pretty foul smelling toots on occasion, but I also have gluten sensitivity issues and diverticulosis. Gluten ALWAYS gives me gas, and black beans do as well. Broccoli isn't as bad on me, but garlic can do it to me. Really try to pay attention to what it making the gas. Generally, lower digestion symptoms are a result…

I haven't read through all 4 pages of responses, but my general feeling is this: If you find yourself asking if you should break up with someone, then you already have your answer. If you were really all that into her or the realtionship, the thought would never enter your mind...and you certainly wouldn't ask a message…

Wow, lots of talk about snakes...I'm lost. Back to the original question. If you want to be vegan, for whatever reasons you choose, then go right ahead, your diet does not affect me in my life. The problem lies in the "militant vegan" attitude that is so rampant these days. That vegan is the ONLY way to be, and anyone NOT…

38, newly married and TTC. Looking to lose 10lbs and maintain it while TTC, keep any future pregnancy gain at the healthy minimum, then lose baby weight when that time comes. I work full time, and do Pure Barre 3 times a week. I track calories while staying gluten free for medical reasons.

Multi-vitamins often only result in really expensive, and colorful, pee. You should have a physical every year, with a full blood work pu. If you are lacking in a specific vitamin, you should take that specific vitamin, otherwise you should get all your necessary nutrients from your food. Don't waste money on a bunch…

I hear cruise and I think Norovirus...no thanks.

It's bad news bears from what I hear. they actually suggst you carry extra clothes because you are pretty much guaranteed to soil yourself on this drug. The side effect are bad. Read the below link for a humorous take on them.... http://thewvsr.com/alli.htm

olives brussel sprouts carrots (but I'll eat them if dipped in hummus)

Buy in bulk when you can. The first trip to a Costco or Sams might seem like you spent a fortune, but generally the price per unit is much lower than a weekly trip to the grocery store. I can stretch a $25 pack of chicken, which is generally 20 breasts packaged as pairs, into more than a month for 2 people. Same goes for…

Actually this is incorrect. While it is true that there is no such thing as a gluten allergy, gluten sensitivity is real, especially to those of us who experince symptoms when we consume something that has gluten in it. A person may have a wheat allergy, but that is not the same as a gluten sensitivity. The confusion often…
