Sushi?
I hate to admit, but I've never had sushi before. I'm actually kind of intimidated by it. What would people recommend for a sushi virgin? Things to avoid? (I have NO idea what the calorie counts are on this type of food, but I'm contemplating ordering some for dinner and hoping I have room to fit a fair selection in!)

Peanuts.
I have a craving for peanuts lately. But Planters and the like just aren't doing it for me. What's your favorite Peanut brand/place to purchase peanuts?

Explosions at Boston Marathon.
Anyone else keeping up with this news? Apparently, two explosions were reported at the finishing line of the Boston Marathon. http://boston.cbslocal.com/2013-boston-marathon-finish-line/

"I'm fat, I like cats, get used to it!"
http://prettylittlepeculiar.wordpress.com/2012/10/23/fat-and-proud/ I love coming across blogs like this. I know a lot of people are against body acceptance (or fat acceptance) but it's always reassuring to see people say they want to get FIT and not just THIN. <3

Calories from walking.
Until I get my FitBit replaced and I can accurately judge my calorie burn, I need some advice. Now that the weather is nice, I'll be walking 3-6 miles daily (pushing a stroller, not that it matters) and I'm wondering if I should add it as exercise or, because it will be a daily thing, change my overall activity level? Or…

Your favorite Oatmeal?
http://theoatmeal.com/ But seriously, I have a craving for oatmeal but I'm getting bored of my usual packet choices. Does anyone swear by their oatmeal? Good protein content? Taste AHMAZING? I want to hear about it!

Eating healthy is expensive...
...or so they say. I remember saying this to myself as an EXCUSE for why I should eat a dollar menu cheeseburger instead of something that would be better for me. I lied. I realized today while cooking dinner for my family...I know why I don't want to eat healthier... ...because it would be a drain on my TIME. As I washed…

Food Fight.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mu8QthlZ6hY Just saw this one on Upworthy and thought it was worth sharing. 'Your plate is the battlefield' stood out to me the most. <3

Anyone try the MyFitnessPal diet?
You know, the one where you make sure you're following your macros and eating within your calorie range? Absurd, I know. ;)

Weaning?
So, my daughter is my first successful breastfeeding story. I am proud and honored to have fed her for 14 months now! I wasn't able to breastfeed my son, so I'm looking for advice on weaning. I don't think she's ready yet, she's not showing any cues and nursing is still a comfort for her, especially on days like today…

Bra fitting in MN?
I've had poor experiences at Victoria's Secret and Nordstrom. I had a good experience at Lane Bryant, but I don't fit their size range anymore. Does anyone know a professional fitting service that will actually give a damn about me and my hard-to-fit breasts? :< Positive/negative experiences, ladies?

A work in progress.
That's how I like to refer to myself. I'm not where I want to be yet, but I am a LOT closer to that point than I once was. I'm happier, I'm committed and I'm determined. I feel like myself again and I just wanted to share a couple of snapshots (courtesy of my trainer and her franchise) of myself. If I had one wish…

Your favorite place to eat?
Okay, let's get this forum moving again. Where are some of your favorite places to eat in Minnesota? I LOVE The Anchor Fish and Chips for a taste of home. I'm also a huge fan of Fogo De Chao when I can afford it.

Avocado. How do YOU eat it?
Avocado is one of those things I love having on food when I'm eating out (ZPizza makes a tasty Mexican pizza with avocado on top) but that when I buy one myself, I'm kind of at a loss for what to do with it. I have one in my fridge right now, and I kind of want to eat it, but I need some ideas. Hit me.

Help me understand 'Gluten Free'.
I know that eating gluten-free has health benefits to some individuals. I was under the (perhaps misinformed) understanding that it was just generally 'better' for you than eating products with gluten. My son ate a gluten-free cookie from our local co-op a few months ago and he came up in a rash. I didn't think too much of…

Juice Fasts.
Help me out here guys. This 'Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead' thing has been on my Facebook feed from friends for a while now and a good friend of mine is going to try a juice fast. I want to be supportive, but I just don't know enough about this documentary or juice fasting to give her any decent advice.

Stomach support?
I'm finding that my workouts are starting to hurt my lower abdomen when jumping is involved. I think it might be because of the fat/skin overhang on my lower stomach. Does anyone know of a good support for this area? All stomach supports I've found seem to be around the middle and I need support for the 'mommy pouch' I'm…

Get the look. FAST!
Browsing my local Craigslist ads I came across this... http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/csw/hab/3536135581.html Think my husband would be offended if I bought it for him? >.>

Headphones for running?
Suggestions for headphones for running? (Or in my case, jogging/walking.) I have, like, tiny pixie ears. Most buds fall out. :<

Breastfeeding and stomach fat?
I've been trying to find more information on the correlation between breastfeeding and storing stomach fat. I was reading something a few months back that said that stubborn stomach fat could be sticking around because the hormones in your body due to breastfeeding keep it there to protect your ovaries? I'm open to all…

Long awaited NSV.
So I haven't had an NSV for a while, but I finally got one yesterday. I haven't had the chance to buy new clothes lately due to financial strain, but we got a Target gift card from a friend at Christmas and went to buy my son some snow pants. On the way through to the registers, I caught glimpse of the sale racks and…

Box gym suggestions.
So I workout with a trainer 3 times a week with kettlebells, dumbells and various floor/body work but I'm looking to add in some more during the other days of the week. I can't get to the other location she hosts the classes at, so I'm thinking I might try somewhere closer to home, mainly for the cardio equipment. (Ohnoes,…

40lbs down!
I'm almost at my stretch goal of 120lbs and I'm feeling pretty fantastic about my achievement thus far. I'm not much of a picture-taker, so I don't have those wonderful comparison pictures, but I did want to make a thread to pat myself on the back. *Pat-pat* Thanks. =)

Christmas in Minnesota.
Trying to develop some traditions for my kids. The only tradition we have is one I brought over from England; we have fish and chips on Christmas Eve. ._. I'm interested in knowing what Minnesota has to offer during this season. Theater productions? Choirs? Parades? I want to get into the festive spirit and I don't know…
