Suggestions for Bland, Calorie Dense Foods?
After fighting hard for every pound lost, I'm suddenly finding myself easily losing a pound a week ever since I got pregnant (about 9-10 weeks along). I don't throw up, but everything tastes horrible and eating more than a small portion (half cup to a cup) of anything makes me nauseous. I've lost 7 pounds in the last 6…

How do I record this?
So, I've spent the last couple of days doing inventory. It's pretty tiring work, but I'm not sure how to record it as exercise, or even if it actually counts as exercise. I was walking around all day, carrying things to and from the ware house, going up and down stairs,etc. But on the other hand, it was intermittent…

Is The 30Ds Supposed To Hurt My Shins?
So, I'm 3 days into the thirty day shred, and I'm starting to get some odd pains. I fully expected sore/painful muscles from the workout, but not my *bones*. Lately, my shin bone starts to hurt when I do jumping jacks, and doesn't go away for a long time after. Also, my feet hurt in the muscles deep inside the arches. Is…

NoNoWriMo 2011?
Is anyone doing NaNo this year? Have you started doing any prep yet? I know it's a bit early, but I have no plot and no idea for one, and am starting to panic!

Workouts for Injuries
So, I was taking a gentle stroll yesterday and somehow managed to pull that muscle that runs up your inner thigh to your hip as well as the one that runs down the outside of your hip. Mostly it presents as an intense lower back pain, I think because the hip is pulling on my back. I can walk, but it's painful, and there's…

Where is my waist? Measuring help needed, plz
When I measure waist, I always take the measurement right on the bellybutton. But the skinniest part of my torso is an inch or so above it. Have I been doing it wrong? Which is the correct place?

What Dog Would You Be?
Just for lulz, if you were a dog, what type of dog would you be? In my dreams I'd be a Saluki like this one: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_9r3sVxs1eeM/SmvCWtcA2uI/AAAAAAAADwc/PG52BdD-0Ug/s1600-h/saluki.jpg But I think that, if I'm really honest with myself, I'd actually be one of those mutts with an oversized, lolling tongue,…

The Snarking Game!
The way it works is, the first person makes a relatively innocuous comment, and then the next poster finds some reason to pretend to be offended by it. The crazier and more over-the-top your reason for being "offended" the better. I'll start it off: I'm so glad the weather is nice today.

Sick Day Foods?
So, I've been sick as a dog over the weekend, and am still kind of iffy today. I basically lived on tea, crackers and lemon water over the last couple of days, because everything else would come right back up. Meat made my nauseaus, and veggies left me with terrible stomach cramps. It doesn't help that I'm getting close to…

Ugh... gained weight
We totally need a frustrated smiley, because that's now I feel. In spite of my best efforts all I've managed to do is gain the pound I lost last week back again. Argh! Will I never see progress? I could use a hug or a kick in the pants. Thanks!

Delicious, Low-Cal Desserts?
What are you favorite low cal desserts that are also delicious? I've been craving desserts like crazy every evening for the last few days, even when I'm full. My favorite desserts are chocolate brownies, ice cream, chocolate croissants - you know, really bad stuff. So far I'm holding strong, but it would be nice to find…

Critique My Diet?
In spite of my best efforts I'm really fighting for every pound. For the last two weeks I've been gaining and losing the same couple of pounds. I'm going to try kicking up the exercise to twice a day, but I'd love some feedback on my diet. Thanks!

So Hungry
I know I'm always whining about something on the boards, so please bear with me lol. I'm almost full up on my calories for today, but I'm still soo hungry. I've tried drinking water but I'm still hungry. Should I just tough it out, or try eating something more? It's weird that I should be so hungry because I've eaten…

Ugh.. Weekends
Agh! I was doing fairly well for calories this week, and then Friday comes along and I go 500 over! What's worse, I haven't even been able to exercise these last couple of days because of very painful shin splints. The problem is that we go out with friends on weekends, and I can't always control where we go to eat. Will…

Wrapture - How Many Calories?
I met a friend for lunch, and had a barbacoa wrap from a place called wrapture. It's kind of like a burrito, in that it has lean beef, cilantro rice, black beans, cheese and salsa wrapped in a tortillia. But I can't find any nutritional information on it now. How do I log this in my diary? Should I put it down as a burrito?

Take a Break or Power Through?
I've been doing the thrity day shred for just a few days now, and have developed painful shin splints. Thanks to the advice here I'm going to be doing exercises to help stretch, heal and strengthen my shins. But in the meanwhile, do I need to take a couple of days off until the pain abates, or can I just force myself…
