Trying to eat healthy while expecting!
Why is eating so difficult when you are in the early stages of pregnancy? I generally eat healthy but the ONLY thing that sounds good right now is any type of heavy type of meat dish, like nachos, pizza---and basically the bad things. Some times i can steer myself away from those cravings, but sometimes I can't. I gained…

PB2 safe while expecting?
Is PB2 and the chocolate PB2 safe to eat while expecting? I love it and I love that it's a much lower fat version of PB, but I just want to make sure its safe to consume while expecting. I'm going to ask my doc about it when i go in a few weeks, but was wondering if any of you had already had this question answered. Thanks…

Pilates DVD--which one is the best

Also, I would like something that doesn't require a bunch of fancy steps, bars, bands etc. I have free weights and a mat at home, but not much more specific equipment. Suggestions?

Explanations or a little help?
When we moved to our new home in May, I varied between 137-138, depending on fluid, time of the month, etc etc. 4.5 months later, I'm stuck at 142. Most people may not think this is a big deal, but 139 was my "danger, retreat retreat" number. For the first 2 months, I did not have a lot of time to devote to cardio or…

Slipping up as the months go by
I'm getting really disguraged over here. In January and February I had lost 5 pounds, March and April, another 4, May, another 2.

PB2
Those of you who have tried PB2.....is it your new best friend?? I absolutely love it! I have used it in a few recipes and it is a magical ingrediant filled with fiber and protein and NOT filled with fat, like traditional PB. Are there any disadvantages to this stuff? It seems to be natural, not lab produced, and low in…

Weight Watchers--stuck in the middle...thoughts?
I know, I know, it helps you with portions (which I have tried to be a portion watcher my entire life and not really gotten far on mastering that one yet). It also encourages more fruit and veggies, I get that....which I could use more of. However, I'm a numbers person. My friends are trying to get me to join with them…

A few quick and fun (and healthy) recipes for picky kiddos?
My son was a champion eater, until he was about 2.5 years old. Now, having just turned 4, he's eating less and less of the greens and healthy grains and meats I would like him to. He's not a huge fan of meat in general, but occasionally we will grill him an all beef hotdog and he eats it. My husband and I are trying to eat…
