Why don't you just be honest with them...."I know you don't understand why I'm vegetarian and probably never will. It hurts my feelings when questioned about it constantly so can we go this year without the comments?"

Check with your surgeon's office...they should have a support group or at least a list of support group websites. I'm sure there's others on this website who've had surgery....ask them to friend you.

Since Kabocha is commonly called Japanese pumpkin I would use the pumpkin numbers.

VERY COMMON!!!! DON'T STOP Give it another week or 2 and you will see some progress (and make sure you're eating is also in check).

You can also wear a throw away shirt...it's the top layer you can take off and throw to the side if you get too hot....never to be seen again....a lot people do it

CONGRATS!!!!!! WHAT AN ACCOMPLISHMENT :)

I've run a 10K....training done on the treadmill only. The day of the race was the first time outdoors....I regret that...much harder than anticipated. MUST have some outdoors time.

Elliptical is not the same as running.....you're using a lot of different muscles I can do 60 min on an elliptical at a fast pace and could not do the same running. If you're planning a 5K you'll need treadmill and/or road time.

I beg to differ...exercise not only helps improve our overall fitness, but also helps with weight loss when combined with a healthy diet.

Calories burned through exercise should be seen as a benefit towards quicker weight loss. We should not be rewarding ourselves with additional food because we've walked on a treadmill. When you reach your ideal weight, exercise is great because you can eat the additional calories burned...until then ...exercise is used to…

I'm a registered dietitian who works in weight management. Please DO NOT eat the calories burned through exercise. It really negates the purpose of exercising for weight loss. With that said, I wouldn't go less than a net of 1000 calories per day for more than 2 weeks. After 2 weeks, you'll start losing muscle which will…
