Pregnant News Anchor Goes Into Labor While on Air
A pregnant news anchor went into labor on air while continuing to deliver news. Olivia Jaquith was two days past her due date. Her water broke in the newsroom at 4:15 a.m., but 15 minutes later, instead of going to the hospital, she went on air for the early morning news. In the TV control room, a studio crew member held a message for Jaquith telling her to go to the hospital. She finished the entire three-and-a-half-hour morning broadcast.

Experts Agree That This Is How Many Calories You Need to Burn to Lose Weight
If you have been on a weight loss journey, you know how difficult it can be. The most important factor to consider is the calorie deficit, and that's not as simple as just eating less. In fact, a deficit can vary a lot depending on your own body weight, activity level and age, as well as other factors. It's not exactly a one-size-fits-all kind of solution. You can try calculating it yourself using the Mifflin-St Jeor equation if you're into numbers. Still, the smarter move is to work with a registered dietitian who can help you figure out your ideal calorie range and build a strategy that supports long-term weight loss. Before you start any new program, it's always a good idea to check in with your doctor and make sure you're in good health. Now, one thing about calorie deficits is that you don't necessarily need to worry about being in a deficit every single day. This is a question that others have asked on Reddit and other forums, and the answer is that it's okay to go over your deficit every once in a while. The more important thing to consider for calorie deficits is your average over a week or a month for any actual progression in weight loss. To learn more about setting daily calorie goals for weight loss, I spoke with fitness instructor Jamie Maitland, a certified holistic nutritionist and founder of The Office Health. How do calories work? A calorie is a unit of energy used to express how much energy you exert or consume daily. We need calories; they give the body fuel and the ability to function. The calories you take in that are not used are stored as body fat. According to the USDA, adult females need to consume between 1,600 and 2,200 calories each day. The average male requires between 2,200 and 3,000 calories. These are just guidelines, and while most people may fall within these ranges, you might not. Body composition and total daily energy expenditure are the two factors that determine your basal metabolic rate. Read more: The Expert-Approved Way to Count Calories You burn calories just by living. That's right, just reading this burns calories. So, whenever you clean your house or garden or do things that don't feel like a workout, you're burning calories. Unless you intentionally increase this activity level over some time, your current daily energy expenditure won't necessarily cause you to lose weight. How many calories should you burn to lose weight? Everyone is different, so you'll have different calorie goals than someone else. Maitland explained that several factors influence how many calories you need to burn to lose weight. They include your weight, age, gender, hormones and health conditions. Your lifestyle and attitude will also come into play. "In order to really determine how many calories you need to burn to lose weight, you should realistically ask yourself what your goal weight is, and if you are willing to change the way you think in order to achieve those results," Maitland said. While calorie needs vary by person, the science behind weight loss is clear: You must be in a calorie deficit. You do this by either reducing the extra calories you're consuming or burning more than what you're eating with exercise. You've probably heard of the 3,500-calorie deficit rule, which states that a pound of fat equals 3,500 calories. While this provides a basic framework, Maitland pointed out that it won't apply to everyone. If you're unsure where to start, Maitland suggests that you start simply and shave off 500 calories from your normal daily intake and monitor how you feel. You should always consult your doctor first before making any changes to your diet. Whether you do the research yourself, meet with a health professional or find an accountability group, your weight loss goals are achievable. How to calculate the number of calories you burn If you're looking for a way to figure out how many calories you burn in a day, a reliable way to do this is by first finding out your resting metabolic rate. Your RMR is the basic number of calories your body needs to function and maintain your weight. This doesn't account for extra activities that you do during the day. There are a few methods to calculate your RMR, but the most reliable is the Mifflin-St Jeor equation. It calculates the number of calories you need to eat daily based on your assigned gender at birth, height, age and weight. The Mifflin-St Jeor equation looks like this: Males: (10 × weight in kilograms) + (6.25 × height in centimeters) - (5 × age in years) + 5 Females: (10 × weight in kilograms) + (6.25 × height in centimeters) - (5 × age in years) - 161 If you're looking to see how many calories you'll need based on activity level, then you'll need to multiply your RMR results with your activity level based on the following chart: 1.2 - Sedentary (little to no exercise) 1.375 - Lightly active (work out 1-3 days a week) 1.55 - Moderately active (work out 3-5 days a week) 1.725 - Very active (work out 6-7 days a week) 1.9 - Extra active (two-a-day workouts, active job) Example: 5-ft 4-in, 125 pounds, moderately active woman, 29 years old RMR: (10 × 56.699) + (6.25 × 162.56) - (5 × 29) - 161 = 1,276.99 calories RMR x Activity Level: 1,276.99 x 1.55 = 1,979.3345 calories What is a caloric deficit? A caloric deficit is when you burn more calories than you eat in a day. As Maitland mentioned, it's usually recommended to start a deficit by cutting back 500 calories a day from your diet. It's important to remember that this may vary per individual so it's best to consult with a professional before doing so. Quick tips to cut 500 calories: Choose healthy snacks like fruit or nuts Try to eliminate high-calorie treats each day Identify low-calorie swaps like using low-fat milk or plain yogurt instead of sour cream Cut out high-calorie drinks like sodas Use smaller bowls or plates Avoid fried foods as often as you can Remember, calories don't tell you the quality of food you're eating. Focus on nutrient-rich foods that ensure your body and mind get what they need to function and flourish. nensuria/Getty Images What are healthy weight loss goals? Losing weight in a healthy and sustainable way is essential for meeting your goals. According to Maitland, a healthy weight loss goal is between 2 and 5 pounds a week. That doesn't mean that if you're not losing within that range, you're doing it wrong. It's simply a guideline for what is healthy and sustainable. You should expect it to vary each week. "It's important to understand the difference between water weight loss and actual fat loss. Regardless of how much weight you would like to lose, it's imperative to set realistic goals and trust that even the smallest steps taken daily can make a difference. Consistency is the secret sauce," Maitland said. Weight loss is a long-term lifestyle change. Maitland highlighted that your weight loss will plateau if you don't increase the deficit. So, your diet and exercise routines should be evaluated frequently to ensure they suit your goals. That said, if you achieve your goals and find a workout routine that works for you, it's OK to stick with it. How to track calorie burn when you exercise It's essential to track your progress when exercising, not only so you can see how far you've come but also to identify when you need a break. How many calories you burn will vary by the duration and intensity of your workout, so it's good practice to use a fitness tracker to simplify things. The top fitness trackers like Fitbit, Apple Watch and Whoop include your calorie burn throughout the day and during your tracked workouts. Factors that contribute to how many calories you burn: Your heart rate zone : Smartwatches measure your heart rate zones, or how hard you're pushing and recovery periods. Heart rate zones will change so having a record will help you determine when you need to take your workout to the next level. : Smartwatches measure your heart rate zones, or how hard you're pushing and recovery periods.

Your natural resting heart rate : We all have a unique resting heart rate. The normal range falls between 60 and 100 beats per minute. Use your heart rate to inform how often you need to take breaks.

Whether you do the research yourself, meet with a health professional or find an accountability group, your weight loss goals are achievable. The best part is that you don't have to completely change your life to lose weight. You can find an exercise routine that works for you. Walking for 20 to 30 minutes daily can go a long way and at-home exercises can do wonders for losing body fat. Counting calories doesn't make sense for everyone, especially if you have a history of disordered eating. "Your life doesn't need to make sense to anyone but you. Find what motivates you, stick with it and the results will come," Maitland said. Keep your fitness research going by learning when the best time to weigh yourself is, what foods to moderate and which exercises you should focus on to age gracefully.

Bears minicamp takeaways: Caleb Williams' best day yet, Jaquan Brisker's recovery
LAKE FOREST, Ill. — A booming punt from Tory Taylor hit the soggy grass inside the 10-yard line of Field 1 at Halas Hall. It bounced into the air and was quickly downed. The Chicago Bears' first-team offense took the field pinned against its own end zone. And with the 'game' to go win. 'I think it was 90-plus yards in under a minute with no timeouts,' coach Ben Johnson said. 'So it was cool to see them stack some plays.' Advertisement It started with quarterback Caleb Williams. His longest completion went to tight end Cole Kmet, who caught the ball over the middle before racing down the sideline and getting out of bounds. Williams also moved the chains with two scrambles. Mistakes were made. Safety Jonathan Owens nearly intercepted a pass that sailed over the arms of receiver Rome Odunze. But the situational drill still ended with a win for the offense: a short touchdown pass from Williams to rookie running back Kyle Monangai. 'I know you haven't been to every single OTA so far, but I would say the defense has gotten the better of the offense more often than not in all those two-minute (situations), whether it's end of half or end of game,' Johnson said after the second day of mandatory minicamp at Halas Hall on Wednesday. 'So it was good to see the offense stack a few plays together. That's a very tough situation.' There might be some 'sacks' to account for when the film is reviewed, Johnson said. The defense can't hit Williams during minicamp, but elusiveness remains one of his best attributes. 'What we thought about him was when the lights are bright that he was going to show up,' Johnson said. 'And it felt like the game slowed down a little bit for him (Wednesday), and he was able to just go out and find an open guy and get a completion.' Williams threw a short touchdown pass to receiver Olamide Zaccheaus earlier in another situational drill. But he also heard from Johnson when he was too slow going through his reads during the seven-on-seven portion of practice. On that play, Williams connected on a checkdown to running back Roschon Johnson for a first down. It just didn't happen quickly enough for his head coach. 'No, he was late,' Ben Johnson said. 'He needs to get there faster.' Safety Jaquan Brisker met the media for the first time since missing most of last season with a concussion. He sought and underwent treatment at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, where he was told that he had a vestibular concussion. 'I felt like I was off, or I would have been able to be out there,' Brisker said. 'Definitely felt like something was off. (I) didn't want to get back out there until I felt like me.' Advertisement At UPMC, Brisker said he retrained his nervous system. 'Just like side-to-side movement,' Brisker said. 'It's a lot of tennis ball catching and things like that, just trying to track my eyes, get my eyes moving around, get my body moving around fast and things like that. Just reacting.' Brisker appeared in only five games last season. He described it as 'sad and depressing,' but he never thought about retirement. Brisker suffered his injury against the Carolina Panthers at Soldier Field. Tight end Tommy Tremble lowered his head into Brisker, who made the tackle. 'I am going to continue to play the same way,' Brisker said. 'That was my first time really having a contact injury. He hit his head on my neck, so kind of just hit his helmet on the right spot. (It's) really just moving on from that.' On the field at Halas Hall, Brisker is flying around like he did before his concussion. 'I want to hit right now,' he said. Johnson said he appreciates the trash talk that comes with it, too. 'He was a guy that you had to earmark and just make sure you knew where he was when you game-planned against him because he was very active, particularly in the run game,' Johnson said. 'He liked to come down and fill in the box and played like a linebacker that happened to be a defensive back. Not afraid to hit you. So we always told the receivers that they had to make sure they accounted for him. Can't see that right now without the pads, but you can certainly see an active player. He's excited, he's passionate about the game and he loves playing football.' During the seven-on-seven period Wednesday, cornerback Tyrique Stevenson had a conversation with Al Harris, the Bears' defensive backs coach/defensive passing game coordinator, in the middle of the field. It happened as plays unfolded in front of them. Advertisement It was about the details. 'He let me know,' Stevenson said. 'I told him, too, I'm cool with it. I don't care if it's the smallest thing, if he didn't like my feet, if he didn't like something. Because at the end of the day, if I'm on my best game, I'm going to help this team win. (It's) just talking a little ball, talking technique and trying to better understand this defense as we go through this minicamp.' The Bears' emphasis on the details reminded Stevenson of his time at Georgia playing for Bulldogs coach Kirby Smart. 'I feel like the details that they're trying to install in us will help us on the field and off the field with how we process everything,' he said. It also helps to hear it from Harris, who played in the NFL from 1997 to 2011 and made the Pro Bowl twice with the Green Bay Packers. '(It's) just by some of his little pointers with how you line up, how to look at the stance and how to look at the splits,' Stevenson said. 'Just pretty much understanding the system more than the player, and I feel like he's teaching all of that, and it's kind of rubbing off. Understanding that certain players run certain routes and certain OCs run certain concepts. Instead of playing the man, you play the concept.' The Bears drafted defensive tackle Gervon Dexter with the vision of being the penetrating three-technique for coach Matt Eberflus' defense. Things are now very different for him under defensive coordinator Dennis Allen. 'He throws in a lot of different fronts, a lot of different ways to get after the quarterback,' Dexter said. 'So I think the type of guy I am, I could play in a lot of those different fronts. So just being in it and the way he'll move guys around, the way he'll switch it up on the offense, it'll be good for not only me but everybody on the defensive line.' Advertisement Dexter has been playing next to veteran Grady Jarrett, who was signed in free agency, with the starters. It sounds like it's a dream come true for Dexter. He said he started to study Jarrett's play style when he was in middle school. 'Grady, his effort is the No. 1 thing, the way he finishes, the way he flies around and gets to the quarterback,' Dexter said. 'But he has a lot of moves in his toolbox.' No injured players returned to practice. Tight end Colston Loveland, receiver Luther Burden III, linebacker T.J. Edwards, nickelback Kyler Gordon and left tackle Braxton Jones all remained out. Cornerback Jaylon Johnson and safety Elijah Hicks were excused from practice for personal reasons. (Top photo of Caleb Williams: Michael Reaves / Getty Images)
