I'm 22 weeks today with my first and baby and I have ran almost 375 miles together. I'm slowing down but a lot of that has to do with crappy weather and not enough daylight. I obviously changed some of my ab routine but really haven't changed much. I was thin but athletic when we conceived and have been diligent about my…

Half marathons are my favorite distance and I'm registered for one in Oct at my 12 week mark. I'm going to give up my sub 1:45 goal and just run for fun. I've been tired but sticking with training. The heat scared me the first few weeks of Sept so I cut back a bit. I live in a rural area and have a few running friends but…

I'll be 8 weeks on Monday with my first. We found out we had conceived naturally while getting an ultrasound at a fertility clinic that was intended for a follicle count.....what a surprise! I'm a runner and baby and I have already ran 127 miles together. I lift 1-2 times a week and occasionally take a yoga class. I'd…

Will be 8 weeks on Monday. I run between 20-30 miles a week (so at least 5 days a week) strength train 1-2 times a week and love to add a yoga class when I can. I will keep this up and modify as I have to but it really does good for me to be able to still exercise. I'm still tracking my food and now watching my macros…

I lost mine for a time in college and everyone just assumed it was exercise/diet related. It was NOT and it took years to come back. Give your Dr or physcian's asst or nurse practicioner a call.

I'm 5'10 and 150. BF% is about 20%. I've been as low as 120- that was hard to maintain and I didn't feel very good. I'm going to stick between 145-150, I'm a size 6-8 and feel stronger than I ever have.

I used Hal Higdon to train for a half and Jeff Galloway to train for a full. Jeff Galloway's was longer (more weeks) but the Mon-Fri mileage was managable with my busy work schedule. You can find good, free training program in some magazines like Runners World, Self, Shape, Fitness. Good luck and enjoy- races are SUCH a…

Totally agree about the race shirt. And there is NO way I can run without my gps- I'm pretty sure my legs won't work without it.

I'm sorry you had a bad day, I feel your pain. You're beautiful on the outside and I'm sure on the inside as well. Do something nice for yourself like try out a new class at the gym or buy yourself a cute pair of tennis shoes----there is sooooooo much more to you than a pic.

Same thing happened to me about a month ago- some of mfp friends gave me good suggestions for handling it: To the person who most likely said it with good intentions (my assistant)- I gave her a hand written note thanking her for her concern and assuring her that my health is my top priority. I took her out to lunch later…

"so are you enjoying the new baby?" I don't have kids......

Law school does not mean you'll get a cushy job as a lawyer----I think the unemployment rate for lawyers is higher than most occupations (at least in my area). I have maaaaaanny family members and friends that chose that route (I chose MBA) and 5 years after graduation they are still struggling. Like the others said- don't…

Both are good- one isn't better or worse than the other. Running will burn more calories but the elliptical has good qualities too. No reason why you can't use both! I'm a runner and recently a running magazine I subscribe to did an article on the value of the elliptical. If you're interested, just visit the Runner's World…
