Paleo and Pregnant? Can I continue this?
8 days ago I switched to eating Paleo due to some minor health issues that kept coming up. I was starting to feel pretty good and this was getting easier, but thought I had the carb flu. Then yesterday I found out I was pregnant! This is so super exciting because we have been trying for a long time, had multiple…

Paleo lifestyle change? Did anyone hate it?
After a few health issues, I've decided to make the lifestyle change to eating Paleo. For me, this is about a life style change, not just a 30 day diet to loose weight,. I"m probably not following the diet super strictly, but I am eating mostly meat, veggies, nuts, and a little fruit. My goal is to try at least 30 days to…

Insanity for the not so fit?
I would call myself "average fit." I do some sort of exercise a minimum of 3 times a week, sometimes 5 times a week. I was getting bored so I bought insanity off ebay. I made it though 2 weeks of it before I stopped. I pushed myself hard, lifted my knees as high as possible, jumped as high as I could, ect. However when I…

Steamer bags - Healthy?
I've found using green giant and birds eye veggie steamer bags are the quickest way for me and my toddler to get veggies in our diet. I eat mostly the plain veggie bags, but she will only eat the veggies and/or pasta with the sauce on it. Sometimes I do eat the sauce covered bags of veggies and pasta. Are these healthy? I…

South Beach Diet for possible insulin resistance?
I've been eating 100% healthier than I ever have in my life, for at least a year. I track my calories off and on using my fitness pal and almost always stay within the calorie range by 100 to 200 calories. I've tried eating more calories, I've tried eating less calories, and the weight doesn't budge. I'm 28 years old, with…

Fitness with a toddler
I am a proud parent of a 2 year old little girl who loves to interrupt anything I try to do. My work schedule is changing soon and I will have to exercise with her in the room now in order to get exercise in and not deprive myself of needed sleep. We started trying it this week. I'm working my way through Supreme 90…

Anyone not get results with Insanity?
Once I'm done with Supreme 90 (cheap version of p90x), I already have insanity and plan on working my way through it. I've been right at 150lbs for 14 years and I'm 5 foot 4 inches. I can't ever get the scale to budge lower than 145 at the most. I've read tons of post where people have lost 20 lbs and made a huge…

training program for 1/2 marathon
I started running this year and really enjoy it. I did my first 5k in 36 minutes and really enjoyed it. I'm a slow runner, just do it for me, not for winning a race. A friend of mine suggest we do a 1/2 marathon in May so I have 7 months to prepare. My goal is simply to finish the race, running the entire time, no matter…

Calories burned during exercise using Polar 4?
I have a Polar 4(I think that's the way you say it), that I used all summer running. I've never been a runner but health has become very important to me now that I have a 2 year old watching everything I do. While running, I burned 500 to 700 calories in 45 minutes to an hour. Now that It's cold outside, I have started…

running - what to do with sore ankles and knees?
I started running about 3 weeks ago. I'm a slow runner, but I'm really enjoying the time I get to spend with my daughter outside (I run with a stroller). I've always exercised 3 times a week doing some sort of indoor DVD. I worked my way through supreme 90 (cheap version of P 90x) and have started running. However, I'm…
