First Race in 36 Hours!
Okay, I am running my first 5k in a day and half. I am mildly (read seriouslyyyy) freaking out about it. It's been raining nonstop here, and my asthma is flaring up. I have been swamped in school projects, papers and finals. My girls have had 869502867 school functions to attend and I've eaten like crap at most (hence my…

Squats are Painful
Hello! So, I've been doing pretty well with SL (aside from finding out I'm doing my rows incorrectly from the previous thread), but the squats are causing me so much pain in my hip flexor area.

Calories while breastfeeding?
Hello! I am currently breastfeeding my little one. Right now, in order to lose 1.5 lbs a week, MFP calculated that I should eat around 1900cals/day. Should I stick with this number or change my goals? She's with my husband while I'm at school 3 days a week, so I have to pump, and I've had problems with supply while pumping…

Ready to Get Started! Who's with me?

I am 23 years old, a full-time student at UC Berkeley, wife, and mother of three little girls. My daughters are pretty close together, and I seriously pigged…
