Ladies, a question
I have to know if anyone else has this issue/problem, and if it's normal or not. When I exercise, a good heavy breathing lots of sweat exercise, I have light bleeding or spotting. Obviously I'm not talking about when it's that time of month anyway, this is at the other times, when I'm NOT supposed to be worried about that.…

Same foods every day okay?
I've found that for the most part I'm eating the same foods every day. What I'm wondering is if I'm setting myself up to plateau kind of like if you exercise the same way every day it becomes less effective because your body gets used to it. Right now I'm losing well, but in a month I don't want my body to say, "ugh,…

If this doesn't motivate...
So, with the idea that kids say the darndest things, we were driving through downtown yesterday and passed a mall with a huge theater in it, we're talking 6 floors kind of deal, stretched out quite a ways, parking garage, the whole shebang. My 3 year old daughter says, "Look daddy, it's a humongous building!" He agrees…

Help to keep from swelling
First, I'm 21 weeks pregnant, so I know for me that causes swelling in the hotter months, so maybe I can't get rid of it all together, but I'm hoping for tips that I don't know about.

I just wonder if I need to find a more accurate count for what's being burned…

Unrealistic expectations?
I have my goal weight set at what I weighed in high school, I'm pushing 33 years old now, so it's been awhile ;) I was talking with my husband about it the other day, and he said that was probably unrealistic, as I've had 4 kids since then, and my hips are wider, not from being fatter, but from having kids, and that my…

What am I missing? (besides willpower)
I am thinking there has to be something missing from my nutrition, because every stinkin' month, a week before my "friend" comes to visit, I get a head cold and I want chocolate like crazy. I can't stop myself from eating it, and during the holidays, I bake stuff to give to people for gifts and so I have it around the…

Halloween candy
Okay, so I went and got a ton of Halloween candy so I don't have to do the last minute rush thing, and now I'm starting to worry. I've got 4 kids, and candy is inevitable, so I'm wondering what other people are planning to do in regards to Halloween. I'm kind of worried that if I have even one piece of candy, then all is…
