The Dreaded Skinny Fat
I'm 5'7", female (obviously), and will be 45 in January. I am currently 5 lbs away from my goal weight of 128 lbs (which itself is kind of arbitrary: it's what I weighed when I was married 20 years ago). I've had one pregnancy since then (my son is now 14) and have lost about 50 lbs from my all-time high. Although I work a…

Best Meal for Carb Loading?
I'm currently training for a half marathon at the end of October. I'm also actively losing weight, but I might pause this during my taper towards my race (last 2 weeks). Tomorrow is my long run of the week--what I should eat for dinner tonight to help power me through 13 miles tomorrow? This is not my first long run--I've…

He is small of stature, which I'm convinced is because he doesn't eat enough to sustain his metabolism. Seriously, he's like a hummingbird--always on the move…

Arrrgh!
A rainy, nasty Friday here in the Northeast... Not sure if that's the reason, but I am absolutely starving today! It's only 10:15 and I've already eaten my lunch, save my apple! I've drunk 7 glasses of water already and that's not even helping. Guess I'm have to resort to chewing gum...

Hello
I'm not really new here--I've been lurking since late January... I've been dieting/watching my weight since mid-January and was moving along at a steady 1 lb/week pace--good enough to reach my goal by early August. I was devastated when I had a skiing accident over Easter weekend and messed up my knee (cartilage damage,…
