Itchy?
My belly has been soooo itchy this week. I don't know why. I know that when you gain weight fast (pregnancy), the skin stretches, which makes it itchy. But I'm not gaining, I'm losing at a rate of about 2 pounds per week. The itchy seems to be centered around my navel. No signs of skin irritation, except from scratching. I…

Itty bitty running NSV
I ran a quarter of a mile without stopping! And I didn't die! I walked another quarter, and then ran the next! I just started running three weeks ago, this is huge for me. I'm feeling like the top of the world right now :)

Protein Newbie in need of advice
Hi! I'm trying to switch up my diet a bit and try to put more emphasis on protein. I'm not a big meat eater (very occasional red meat, little bit of ham, little bit of chicken) and try as I may, I just don't like nuts. I tried greek yogurt, didn't like it at all, but I'll try it again if it's really that big of a help. Can…

Really demotivating doc appointment.
I had my first appointment with what was my new doctor yesterday, since hubby's new job required a switch to kaiser. I went in to have my ankle looked at, it's been really sore lately and I'd like to find out why. After a half hour walk/run, my heel feels like burning and crunching glass whenever I put weight on it. I'm…

Any other noobs want to do 15 miles this week?
I just got my very first treadmill (I have little kiddos, so outside walking doesn't work out) and have challenged myself to get in 15 miles this week. I know it isn't much, but for just starting out I think it will be a good goal. Are there any other beginners out here that want to join me?

Grrrrr. I want to throw something out the window
And that something is going to be my scale. I haven't weighed in a week and a half, thinking Oh well I'll give it time. I wasn't supposed to weigh in til the first, but I snuck in today and the damn thing hasn't changed at all. I'm so frustrated. I'm eating great, completely changed my eating habits and not having sweets…

I feel silly on a treadmill
I want to work out, but I'm surrounded by all these beautiful fit people running their butts off and looking great while they do it and I just can't find the courage. Know how often I've actually run longer than 30 seconds in the last ten years? Yeah, never. I feel like my flabby flab is bouncing all over the place and…

Hi, my name is Becca and I'm a late night snacker
Please help me! I'm trying to make better choices about my snacks, but I really need help in this area. My husband works all day and goes to school most nights, and the kids go to bed at 7. I've got three hours to myself and even though I know I'm not actually hungry, I find myself rummaging through the pantry and fridge…

I'm looking for some pals :)
So I can't do this on my own, because I lose interest and fall off the eating right and exercising wagon. I'm trying to hold myself accountable, but it sure would be nice to have some friends that can relate to my situation and help me out. I have two kids, but I won't blame them for my weight as I've always been curvy.…
