Clare, I'm not sure if I mind it or not. I used to be pretty proportioned upper and lower body, but now it takes more work to keep it that way. Really it could be that I'm getting older and lazier ;) I just didn't know if it was a common thing that happened to most women.

This is really random but my sister asked me this the other day and now it's at the front of my attention! She asked if since having kids, have my hips become wider and stayed that way? I THINK I'm back to my original size but since I don't have measurements I can't tell. So now I want to hear...

Yay, thanks for sharing! I've been using NutritionData.com and it's similar but this one might be even easier:)

Hmm, looks like I should look into Vol. 4 and 7 per the favorites here. Thanks! I do worry about hills but will sub for sprints (duh Calee!). Thanks ladies!

If so, which ones are your favorites and why? I have vol. 2 and 3 and enjoy them and am thinking of getting another. I'm still trying to get back to 100% after a knee surgery 6 weeks ago so I'd like to stay away from any that are heavy in hills for the challenges and do more sprints, my knees...

This doesn't help at all, but wanted to add my vote to FAMILY members. I want to support them and be accepting, but at the same time these same people make me want to pull my hair out. I have heard as someone mentioned, all of the relationships in our lives should be symbiotic not parasitic. If...

Thanks. Like I mentioned, this is my first baby and am wishing she came with care instructions like in clothing or something ;) . Ok, next question: how long did most of you continue with formula (I wussed out of nursing when I went back to work) ? At our last ped. visit he told us we could...

I run 4-5 days per week and am upping my mileage. How do you maintain long distances and not compromise the muscles you've worked so hard for? I'm enjoying getting back into longer runs but also don't want to lose the definition it's taken so long to achieve.

I looked like I was just getting chubby for a long time, like I'd have people I hadn't seen in a while do a double take but not say anything just in case I really was just gaining weight. It was around 5 1/2 or 6 months that I definitely had a baby bump and not just a spare tire. I'm not teeny...

one of Mom418's replies stemmed another question for me- it's not too early to eat soy products at this age is it? I never know what to pay attention to with it's hormonal properties we've learned about lately...

I wonder if I am getting ahead of myself in the food dept. I reminded myself today that she's only been walking for a few weeks, has only eight total teeth in her head, doesn't consistantly sleep through the night, etc.. This is my first baby and I obviously don't know what to expect and when...

Mmm, thanks for the recipe KK. Cathy, I was actually thinking of throwing some celery in with a cucumber and fruit to see what happens! (I ended up tossing the cauliflower and using the broccoli in a stir fry as suggested earlier)

Oooh, a stir-fry sounds yummy right now and lots safer to me than ruining my smoothie in case it's really gross! thanks for the suggestion for my broccoli and cauliflower:) and KK, I copied and pasted your recipe for your savory green smoothie, that sounds so good too and I love fresh herbs...

So far the only "green" things I've added to my smoothies are leafy veggies; spinach, kale, etc.. Right now I don't have any leafy things but plenty of other veggies that need to be used quickly or will end up being thrown out. Has anyone added veggies you wouldn't usually think of using? Like...

I think I might be the type to obsess too, and I want to ENJOY my food; but with this bit of extra weight I've put on it might be good to obsess for a while! I didn't realize you could find them so cheap, the ones I've looked at are $50+. Maybe I'll get one that's not digital and try it out for...

Funny both of you mention it, she does enjoy PB&J's. Hopefully I'll be able to pick my battles and let it pass I guess. She still drinks go-n-grow formula in the morning and at bedtime so hopefully that fills in some nutrition gaps:)

I am recovering from my second knee surgery in two years and unfortunately did not stop eating the way I did when I could exercise every day and have gained weight. In attempts to ease back into things (I'm going on the fourth week post-op), I'd like to tighten up my diet too. One of my former...

I understand that all toddlers are picky eaters at some point, but I worry that I can't get my babe a well balanced meal in her most of the time. I try to offer a wide variety of foods but she is not at all interested in veggies or any type of meat, no matter if I try to cook them differently to...

I'm so glad I asked before I went out and bought one! Thanks for the heads up. and Nan- thank you especially for the list of your can and can't do's!

I just got back from a follow-up with my orthopedic surgeon. I've had two knee surgeries in 2 years and REALLY don't want to start a trend here. The issue is that I have "bad rubber on my tires" so to speak, the cartilage in my knees shreds so easily. He suggested I try workouts on a Bosu...
