  • Thanks so much, I called the doc and he said try splitting it in half to see if it has the same effect. Lexapro did wonders for my sleep/anxiety but it killed my sex drive. If the Trazodone is not working I might see if another AD out there works that doesn't kill my sex drive. I just hate messing with meds.
  • 33 year old mom of a 1 year old and 3 year old. Although my weight is in check I still struggle daily with anxiety & insomnia which can really take a toll on you. So yes, sometimes I'm just tired!!
  • I have the Charge HR2 and I have noticed that if I don't set mine in exercise mode it overestimates a ton. For the last few days I have just done 40 minute walks completing a total of 2 miles. Looking at my Fitbit I noticed it stated that during my walk my heart rate maxed to 168 and I burned 498 calories. That is way off!…
  • After having 2 kids back to back I was able to get back into running and completed a couple 10ks only to find that my lingering knee pain is arthritis. My goals for 2017 are to focus more on the weights and to listen to my body more....rest when my body tells me to...this is something I struggle with.
  • Anxiety is a huge part of it. In the past I have started exercising in order to eat more, the problem is I begin to think I can exercise that much everyday. I start to ignore the signs (fatigue, insomnia, moodiness) and continue to push myself because I get anxious if I am not doing as much as I did the day before. I…
  • I love to exercise and if I had my way I would be doing it several times a day, although I have to be careful. I struggled with an eating disorder in my past, I would run on average 70-90 miles a week and at most consume 2,000 calories a day. Needless to say my body shut down and I was unable to do any sort of exercise for…
  • So my lab results all came back normal. When looking at them I did notice that all of my numbers for iron, potassium, calcium, wbc, and rbc were either 1 point or .5 above normal nothing in the mid to high range.The nurse said it is fine because it is still in the normal range. The past two days I have taken time off from…
  • I'm 5'7 135 and if I go anywhere below that my body lets me know. I start getting low blood sugar, headaches, fatigue and just feel like crap! I know for me just taking a week off from exercise and not worrying about watching calories tends to make me feel a lot better. I hate doing it, but I always feel so much better…
  • I am 5'7 135 so I don't consider myself underweight, I eat around 2,300 a day and my workouts burn around 400-500 cals based off my polar HRM 5 days a week. I thought that might be a reason as well, but I feel as if I'm eating enough.
  • Vitamin C and D Magnisum Glucosamine Whey Protein Caffine before workout Multi Vitamin Calcium Pills
  • Thanks for all the responses! The reason I went to the doctor is that over the past month I have been experiencing the fuzzy dizzy feeling, especially in the early afternoon. Today was the first time I checked my BP right after exercise because I was starting to feel dizzy. Usually I have no issues with feeling dizzy or…
  • I don't eat red meat, but still eat tons of chicken, eggs, fish, and turkey. The doctor ordered a full work up so I would guess he would check for anemia.
  • Cheese pizza, anything with cookie dough, peanut butter cups
  • I'm a SAHM, sometimes I will workout before the kids get up at 5:45 other times I will work out once they are up and fed around 9am. When I worked full time I would get up at 4:30 to get my workout done. I just find if I don't get it done first thing in the morning other things pop up.
  • Nope, I feel like I have been maintaining for years so I know my portions. We usually don't travel very long (overnights) unless we are on vacation and I like to just enjoy food on vacation and not worry about calories.
  • oatmeal with protein powder avacodos peanut butter cookie dough ice cream peanut butter puffins cereal
  • I have always had low readings on my BP, but recently I have noticed I get lightheaded/dizzy a little more often. The other day I took my BP it was 87/56. I have been meaning to schedule a doctors appointment as well to get it checked out. I never get dizzy during my workouts in the morning and most of the time it happens…
  • I have the Charge HR 2 and usually I find the calorie burn is pretty spot on. Although have noticed at times when I just walk and don't set my HR into exercise mode it claims I burn way more calories than I should have. For example walking 45 minutes on the treadmill at 3.6 speed claimed my heart rate was at 165 and I…
  • I am 5'7 134 and I eat anywhere from 2,200-2,400 a day and have maintained. I workout 5 days a week for just a little over an hour combining weights with cardio. I even throw in a two to three days a month where I indulge more and probably consume an exta 1,000. Before I found MFP I was eating around 1,900 cals a day and I…
  • Everyday! I love mine mixed in with ON casein, coconut flour, flax meal and fruit. Sometimes I will mix in peanut butter & chocolate chips.
  • Dairy Queen blizzards...soooo good but so many calories!
  • After my second child I dealt pretty hard with post partum anxiety and I started having panic attacks at night because I couldn't relax enough to sleep. I have dealt with anxiety all my life and have been on and off meds for it. Finally I got back on Lexapro and it did wonders for my sleep, took about two months to finally…
  • Sonic, Five Guys, In & Out, Culvers & Jack in the Box that I can think of.
  • Recently I have felt a burn out in the gym. My main focus for the past couple of months has been running, and because of that I have felt some of my muscle waste away so I would like to focus more on weights and recomp. Currently I am going to the gym 5 days a week. 4 days I do 35 minutes of moderate cardio on the…
  • I would say first get it checked out by a doctor, you don't want to do anymore damage by continuing to work through the pain. I have dealt with knee pain for over a year and a half. The first doctor I went to suspected meniscus and recommended an MRI. I forgo the MRI until this past month. Turns out I have arthritis in my…
  • I got one this past October and it was probably coincidence but I ended up sick for a week two days after the shot. Recently this past week I ended up getting sick again for two days, body aches, chills and fevers. I would probably opt not to get one but having two little ones at home I find it important to try to stay…
  • Kale, I can't stand it Juices (just because I would rather eat my calories than drink them)
  • Excuse the mess in the photos above, I am a stay at home mom so I converted half our basement into a gym and then gated the other half off and turned it into a play room. We have four cardio machines, dumbbells up to 30 pounds and a nice rack with bar and various plates. All I can say is that my husband understands my love…
