Shrimp recipes for NYE dinner?
Hi everyone - I'm not very active on the boards, but really quickly: I'm down 30 pounds since October. Just eating clean - no gluten, soy, corn, dairy, caffeine, or processed sugars. Would like to lose 20 more. So, I've been planning to make shrimp for my family tonight. Other than sauteeing in coconut oil with garlic,…

Time to shed some poundage
Hey folks, I'm new. So, I was at the doc today to figure out why I've been gaining weight, not having periods, etc., and come to find out - I have been smacked with a diagnosis of menopause! At age 37, I didn't expect that to be the answer. Hubby and I still wanted more kids. I guess I'll be looking for a menopause board…

Overweight to start - Do I have to adjust calories?
Hey, all! I was only 15 pounds or so into my 40 pound weight loss goal when I got my BFP. Since I'm still overweight at 5'5" and 165 lbs., do I HAVE to adjust my caloric intake yet? I mean, Baby's getting plenty from all my extra, right? I have my goal set at losing a pound per week, so my daily caloric intake is 1330. I…

Runners: Transition from Indoor to Outdoor Running?

I Seem To Have Given Up Soda - NSV
I've had an unhealthy relationship with food most of my life. We moved a lot growing up, and I got used to stuffing my face after school as a way of dealing with daily stresses. I'm talking a six pack of Coke and a whole bag of Doritos, or whole box of Oatmeal Cream Pies - every day. No one would ever have guessed, though,…

Trouble using my calories each day...
HELP!!! I never thought I would say this, but most days I have so many calories left at the end of the day that I make stupid food decisions trying to use those calories. I'm not nearly hungry enough during the day to eat 1700 calories consistently (1400 base, plus around 300 from exercise). I usually end up grabbing ice…

First NSV!!!
So my nine-year-old son, who has a way with words, provided me with my first NSV! I was telling hubby about my progress (or lack thereof) when Jake piped up and said, "Mom, I can tell you're losing weight - your clothes are more wrinkly!" When I asked him what he meant he explained that I don't "stretch them out so bad…

So this 30-Day Shred You're All Talking About...
When you started, how far into your weight loss plan were you? I'm three weeks in and have lost 5 pounds. I'm planning to start the 30-Day Shred next Wednesday. Currently for exercise, I run 1 to 1.5 miles 3-4 times per week at a pace of 5.3 to 5.5 mph. Hubby and I walk a couple miles 3-4 nights per week as well, at about…
