Acorn Squash Recipes?
I have a few acorn squash sitting on my counter I wanted to use tonight. Does anyone have any favorite recipes they'd like to share with me? Last time I made them I baked them and then stuffed them with mushrooms & wild rice.... but looking for something a little different. I'd love to hear how you like to use them. Thanks…

"Carbing Up" prior to a big run????? Please advise....
I am training for my first half marathon and was wondering when should I eat carbs pre race? Night before? What is an example of a meal that will do me good for the race?

50 lbs down - yayyyyy!!! Two great stories!
1. I switched to fully underwritten life insurance, and now qualify for the "preferred" category based on my health and weight. Previously, I just got the simple insurance policy where they didn't have to calculate my weight into it. 2. I started selling all my old clothes that are waaaaay too big, and *almost* have enough…

Protein - how much is too much?
I am currently following an eating plan where I am eating 80 - 90 grams of protein a day. It is going very well, however I have a question. There have been some days where I realize I have eaten 100-120 grams of protein once I add it up. Is there a adverse effect if I am eating over my goal protein? I am 27, 5'6'', and…

Just bought a food scale.... why didn't I do this sooner?
The best $30 I've spent in a long time. I have lost 30 pounds over the last 3 months, seriously adjusting my eating habits, and incorporating exercise back into the picture.
