Fall '15 babies
I know it's early for lots of us... but fall babies? I'm just about 9 weeks with our newest little one. Im due october 18th. I have a 5yr old and a 2.5 yr old and we have full custody of my husband's 2 (12 and 15) I'm slightly anxious as all of a sudden my nausea is greatly reduced. It's been bad for a few weeks; i had…

sneaker tragedy
I know you all will understand my pain... Last evening after my run, I stopped at the car to carry in the paint we picked out to redo our master... 3 gallons of the most expensive no VOC stuff in a creamy yellow hue. Too lazy to make 2 trips I had 2 gallons in one hand, and one in the other. Reached overhead to pull down…

hiccup
So, confirmed today what I've been suspecting all week... I'm pregnant! We are very excited, and I fully expect that this will not affect my may 9th 1/2. I'll be just over 16 weeks at that point, and plan to run and train as planned. The July one I was considering, well now I'm not so sure! I'd be almost 7 months at that…

before the half
I have my first half on the books for May 9th. I started running in Feb '14 with weight loss as my major motivator. Free, easy/any time exercise. Didn't think too much about it as sport... mainly calorie burning. Just did what I could, increased my miles when I felt like I could... just kept one foot in front of the other.…

opions please
35 yr old female, 5'5 and already lost about 70 lbs, looking for help with the last 10 or so, then gradual shift to maintenance. currently "stuck" 4 weeks before the flames start- I know a plateau isn't labeled as such until 6 weeks... but, here I am. 4 weeks and no loss in fact, a little gain. I went from 140.4 to 141.4…

sharing
I swear, MFP needs a notation or adjustment for food shared (stolen) by my kids! I weigh, and log, and sit down to eat and suddenly whatever I have becomes the most delectable item in the house! If I measured out 28 grams of pretzels, then the 2 yr old demands 3 of them, I want a "shared with baby" button! Honestly, I'm…

different burns
My BFF and I regularly work out together. She just got a heart rate monitor. I've been using my polar one which is an F4 I think I've had 10 years. Hers came from a sporting goods store, but I don't recognize the brand. It's possible she went for the lowest end model. Today we expect ran side by side 9.65 miles. My burn…

armband recs
looking for opinions and advice... a girlfriend got me an armband for my iphone for my birthday a few days ago, before now I carry my phone, or tuck it into my bra. I love, love, love this new case. I didn't like that I had to take it in/out of its protective case each time though. and now, a few days later and my gift…

Marinade
Logging question. If I marinate meat, then cook it, do I log it as if it were plain? I know something gets in there, and flavors the meat.... I wasn't sure if it changes the caloric value, and if so, how do I measure that? For example, I cut and then pound my chicken breast pieces thin, then allow them to hang out in a…

Blood donation
I'm a universal donor, with unfortunate "bad" veins. Being overweight made donations very difficult.... On more than one occasion I ended up poked thru and terribly bruised. Ended up not going after multiple times when they had tom"dig". An added bonus to my weight loss is the returned ability to give! Any concerns with…

Out on a limb, looking for insight
Hi. New to the forums, using the app I didn't even know they existed until a few weeks ago... Since then lurking, reading and learning a ton! Back story, and then a few questions: Been heavy all my life- chubby kid, awkward overweight teenager, then freshman 15... Was just over 200 lbs upon college graduation and decided…

Reason for splurges
Hi. Just wondering if some of you more researched folk had any insight into splurges. Is there a metabolic benefit or reason to have a higher calorie "splurge" meal weekly/monthly or is it mainly a psychological thing? I understand conceptually needing to not cut out foods, or groups of foods, and having an allowance for a…
