Negative calorie adjustment
Does anyone else use the negative calorie adjustment with their Fitbit or other fitness tracker? If so, do you still log your exercise as usual or do you just go by the adjustment?

Birth Announcement 1/26/14
Sorry this is so late...I am usually using my phone so I don't have access to the boards. My due date was 1/27 but Noah came a day early on the 26th :-) So here's how little Noah exited the "Ark"... I had contractions sporadically throughout the night on Saturday January 25th that started to wake me up. About 5:30am, I…

Headaches after walks
The past two days I've taken my dog, Sadie, on a walk in the morning. We haven't gone too far as I am really out of shape, and I am still trying to leash train Sadie. I have noticed that after the walks, which are about 1.5 miles, I get these headaches that pretty much last the rest of the day. We usually walk before…

Quad pain without explanation
I am trying to walk in the mornings for exercise. The past 2 1/2 days, though, my quads have been really sore. Anytime I try to sit or squat down, I get this ripping pain through my quads (left and right both). When I sit, it eventually goes away. If I sit too long (more than 5 minutes, I have trouble walking when I get…

Checking in 6/21
This board isn't very active, so i just wanted to give everyone a shout out! How are we all doing? AFM, I am still fighting the battle of the bulge, but I think my doc and I may have found the culprit...my thyroid. I'm not on meds yet as my levels are still in normal range, but my TSH has been steadily rising for about 4…

Does anyone know if there is evidence that exercise can alleviate some or all of the symptoms associated with RS being that it is a circulatory problem?

Jan 3rd Check In
How is everyone today? I'm amazed! Absolutely amazed. I have not had any whole grains for 24 hours...and I don't feel like napping. I am awake, alert, not groggy...I wonder if it's a true correlation. I'll have to keep track of how I feel the rest of the week...but I could be onto something!

December 26th Check-in
How did everyone do today? I was doing great until dinner. My work cafeteria closed the deli bar today on account of the holiday yesterday so my turkey and cheese sandwich ended up a cheeseburger. I still didn't do too bad for my first day. I may have some popcorn later, so I will be over my points for the day, but…

What's your favorite low-calorie indulgence?
Lately I have tried to find the foods I love that have been reinvented into new, low-calorie treats! My newest favorites are Ruffles Light Potato Chips and Skinny Cow Ice Cream Sandwiches (YUM!) What are your favorite treats that don't cause guilt trips?

Confused about zig-zagging...
So my weight-loss came to a roaring halt about a month and a half ago. I tried everything (minus exercise because I have on medical restriction). Nothing seemed to work. I ate less, I ate more fiber, I ate more fruit....every week was a different trial. And I lost maybe a pound somewhere in there but that was it. Grrr.…

Cardio for someone who is unable to run...
As you can tell by my name, I am a runner. Or I used to be, anyway. Long story short, I injured by back in 2009 and have been suffering the pain for 2 years. I am in my second bout of physical therapy, I have had cortisone shots...the whole bit. I'm looking for low to no impact cardio that I can do until my doctor releases…

NSV! YESSSSSSS!
So, Tuesday I went to my favorite store and bought some shirts. I have ALWAYS had to get a size bigger than normal because these shirts in particular like to shrink. So I get an XL instead of a L, brought them home, and washed them....and they were TOO BIG! They shrunk a little...but they are still too big! Talk about…

Anyone heard of Leukemia and Lymphoma Society Team in Traini
I got a postcard from the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society Team in Training Program. I was just curious to know if anyone in the Goshen, IN area has heard of this and wants to start a team? I think it might be the motivation I need to get over this back pain and get back into my running shoes. :-)

For the girls out there...HELP!
Ok, I had the horrible realization this weekend that I have huge boobs...at least I think they are. I thought I was a 36/38 C and now I find I am a 40 D! Most women would be ecstatic but I'm a runner so big boobs are not an accessory I enjoy. Can anyone tell me how to lose them? HELP!

NSV 2!
I put on my workout clothes this morning and even though I have only lost 1/5th of the weight I am planning to lose, I felt so much skinnier than I did 3 weeks ago! :-) I'm not really seeing anything in the mirror but I feel like I'm shrinking. I have more energy, I am more productive at work...and people tell me I have a…

Snack before morning workouts?
I'm a morning runner because I have to work 2nd shift. I normally get to run as soon as I get out of bed. I can't seem to stomach my usual oatmeal or cereal before my run. Anyone have suggestions on what snacks I can/should eat just for a smidge of energy? I haven't started running long distances yet (in the beginning…
