swollen eye
So I woke up this morning and my left eye is swollen. :huh: Just the lid. Its really sensitive to the touch like it was bruised but I wasn't hit or anything. I've had some allergys for a while but I've always had allergies and I've never gotten this symptom. I know this isn't like WEB MD but I was wondering if anyone knew…

Hoping for something good...
So I've been struggling with my daily headaches/migraines for a couple months now. Nothing has worked and it's really affected my life. Well today my doctor gave me a new rx for a medicine that should help my head AND help me loose weight. This would be the best thing for me right now IF it works. So keep your fingers…

ARRGGHHH!! Why do they do it?
Why does the media insist on presenting weight loss as something that has to be "fast" or it's not effective? Why don't they present the facts? That slow weight loss is the healthy kind AND the kind that is most likely to last? I just flipped on this show "Half Their Size" on ABC--it looked interesting. Another weight loss…

What would you do???
I am joining a group of childcare providers in my area in our version of the biggest loser--I'm so excited there is a reward of $50 to the person with the biggest % lost!!! Anyhow, my question is this. My regular weigh-in day is Saturday--the weigh-in day for this contest is on Monday. Should I weigh myself twice? or do I…

Really hot baths
Does anyone think really hot baths help in weight loss? I googled it, I guess spas are a big thing. I know you're just getting rid of water from your body, but could this be a positive thing at all? In my own imaginary world it makes me feel slimmer :tongue:

Just need to vent.
Does this ever happen to you? Nothing is ever said out loud but as the biggest woman in my family the only pictures that get taken of me are the ones where everyone is expected to pose. In 4 years and 3 kids I can probably count the number of pictures of me and anyone (including the kids) on one hand. I could just cry some…

I'm on my way to both, just finding out today its so hard to eat with braces, so today I only did the Eliptical for 20 min., because…

Marriage Rut
How do you get out of a marriage rut?? My husband and I have been married for 16 years and I love him dearly but lately it just seems like we are in a serious rut and I don't know what to do about it. It seems like, no it's true, all we do together is eat and sleep and we don't eat healthy at that!!!! He stays with his mom…

Children lost for 40 years
Well, for those interested, you can go to my profile and see the last two pictures of my twin girls with whom I've had the most exhilarating weekend. I was also able to finally explain to their mother what happened and why I wasn't able to locate them. I never knew how dark a spot there was in my soul but it's now so…

spray tan?
Has anyone tried this? I would like to do it before a vacation to Mexico-but not sure. Will it wear off in the pool or ocean? Will it smear onto my clothes? How long will it last for? Any input would be appreciated!

college life
So I am a college freshman currently fighting the dreaded freshman 15. I have not gained a whole 15 pounds but gained about 5 and most definitely did not want to go any higher. I have lost 2 but not very easily. This program is really easy and really difficult for me at the same time. Living on campus, we were forced to…

Financial crisis
I am just curious as to how everyone feels about this. I have a hard time following politics and Im not going to debate anyone on who should be president or anything. What I dont understand is why the market dropped so bad yesterday just because they didnt pass the bailout plan. It doesnt make any sense to me. Isnt that…

Updating goals...
I decided to update my goals because I wanted to up my exercise goal and get more fiber in my diet. I noticed after I did so that my calorie intake dropped by 10. I figured out that it dropped because MFP automatically entered my current weight into figuring up my needed calorie deficit. How often should you update that?…

She told him 'Tomorrow morning, I expect to find a gift in the driveway that goes from 0 to 200 in less than 10 seconds, AND IT BETTER BE THERE!!' The next morning Rick got up early and left for work. When his wife woke up she looked out the…
