Anyone else trying/failing to get pregnant
My husband and I have been trying for a year and a half now. We've both been tested and the results weren't horrible but they weren't great either. I have low egg quantity and he has hyper viscosity (his fluid is too thick). The doctors still seem confident they can make it work and we were supposed to start insemination…

Time to get serious again
i lost 25 pounds using myfitnesspal last year while I was living in Korea. Ever since returning to the US the scale has slowly been creeping back up. Just before spring break and my trip to Moab, Utah I tried to put on my shorts from the summer and they didn't even come close to closing! Its easy for me to stand here and…

question about polar heart rate monitors
I've read a lot of topics on the forums about the best heart rate monitors and it seems most people endorse the Polar F6. My question has to do with the chest strap. I really need an HRM for working out, but I'd also like one that I can just wear all the time so that I know how many calories i burn every day. It seems like…

For the first time in my life....
As many of you have probably discovered, truly committing to count every calorie requires that you become somewhat obsessed. I try to make sure that when I'm out with friends, that I am still able to talk about other things beside losing weight. No one wants to hang out with people that A) only talk about one thing and B)…

THE 12
When I played soccer in college and when I was a wildland firefighter we had to run what we called THE 12--Dunh dunh dunh! Technically it's called the Cooper's test and it's a way to test (and push) an athlete's physical fitness. Basically, you have to run 1.5 miles in 12 minutes or less (if you're a girl, guys have only…

My boyfriend and I are going in april. we only have one week so we're trying to narrow it down to the must-sees (but we also don't want to spend too much time in transit from place to place).

A surprising part of my engagement
So first, the best news--I got engaged yesterday! That in itself is really exciting, but on top of that, I had an unexpected surprise. I helped my fiancee pick out the ring long ago. I never really got to try it on becuase the one at the jeweler was too small. So my fiancee bought it knowing we'd have to resize it after he…

It's actually working!
I don't own a scale right now, so usually my method of seeing whether I'm losing weight or not is to stand in front of the mirror with my shirt up and ask my boyfriend if I look skinnier (and obviously, how reliable is his answer?). but today at my gym there was a scale staring me down. I almost didn't have the guts to get…
