And accurate.

That still seems like a little specific of a number. Your MFP goal has a deficit built in. So if you are at that number (before exercise) you should lose weight. Calories in (food) has to be less than calories out (energy used for breathing, cellular function, movement, etc). So yes, you will still lose weight. Exercise is…

If the tests were ordered and drawn, you can get them at no charge. Call the lab that drew them and have the results mailed to you or go in and pick them up. Knowledge is power.

CICO. But out of curiosity, why 2003? Why not 2000 or 2005?

My first two were stroller babies. The little ones are so spoiled the expect to be carried everywhere. I blame myself... If baby doesn't care to be in a stroller, get a backpack that fits well and take baby for longer walks or even hikes. I don't remember age cutoffs, but little babies should be carried in front, and older…

Generic Armour thyroid is inexpensive, as meds go. There are low cost clinics. Itll probably take a long time to get it, but it can be done. For the PCOS, lose weight. It can be done without doctors or medication.

There are a lot of women who struggle to lose weight while breastfeeding. I know I'm one of them. Washing fewer bottles was more important to me than fitting into jeans so...

Wow. I've spent the last several weeks reading everything I can (textbooks, medical journal articles) and that is the opposite of true. PCOS is much harder to test for using the standard labs after menopause because FSH goes greater than 65 and stays there. The hormonal tests are MOST helpful in premenopausal women. Post…

Yeah, Columbia is ground-zero for pop v soda. Most locals don't really care, but there is such a high percentage of the population from either stl or rural towns it gets to be a thing to talk about when neither the cardinals nor the tigers are playing.

Just take it one step at a time. If you try and fast the rest of the day, you may just end up setting yourself up for another binge. Log it and move on. One day is not the end of the world.

1. Lipodissolve and B12 are two different things. Lipodissolve is the chemical alluded to up thread that causes uncontrolled lipoatrophy. It had been discontinued but was re-released this year under a different name. 2. There is no evidence to support B12 injections in the absence of deficiency 3. LipoB12 sounds like a…

See if there is a physical therapy school nearby. There are students where I live who will see people for free. They are with instructors, so it's still very worthwhile. If that is an option, you'll still need an order from a doctor. But most likely, yes, the left side will be somewhat smaller than the right. Everyone is…

Well thank god the random internet people believe me. Seriously, the point of all of this was that the OPs wife is not alone in how she feels. In fact, it is possible to be even more extreme (and still be happy about it).

Try unit clerk during nursing school. And yes, I was married at 19. Eta: ages aren't on name badges. Young females get asked out. OP: sorry I hijacked the thread. Happy wife = happy life. Peace, ya'll.

About 30% of people who walk into a neurology office have psychogenic illness. Based on your description (hypersensitivity at the bilateral arms with normal sensation distally that is only aggravated in very specific instances) the issue sounds like it was certainly psychogenic. And psychogenic issues go away when the…

No, but it makes male coworkers WAY less likely to send an inappropriate message in the first place.

You'd think!

Maybe I should preface with the fact that I used to work somewhere where married people having affairs with coworkers was the norm. It was openly talked an joked about. There were days when I was asked out for drinks after work before I clocked in. I didn't want that to become acceptable or normal for me, so I made sure…

Lol. I know most people don't approach life or relationships like I do. ;) But since I'm in a very small minority with regard to interacting with people as a married woman, it would maybe give the OP some perspective on how reasonable his wife is. And nothing I my original post is exaggerated.

I may be alone in this sentiment, but I think it's fair for your wife not to be happy about your female friends and for her to be snoping your account. My husband and I have a joint Facebook account and would have a joint MFP too if it was physically possible. I have exactly one friend on here who is male. I have a lot of…

I drink a couple a day. It has no impact on weight loss.

...or hyponatremia... In which case you should seek medical treatment and follow your doctor's advice.

Only as important as you make it. Sounds like you're doing great. Throw it away if it bothers you. Seriously.

Most phycisian don't know. The U.S. Studies have come out over the last decade and the other studies are from China. I was drinking lots of tea when I was pregnant with my second. I asked my OB about how much I could safely drink when I read the studies. He was unaware of the link. I stopped drinking tea at that point.…

Or now. Now is good.

I'd ask if massages purchased outside of their weight reduction program work. He's obviously trying to sell you something you don't need. If things are going well otherwise, keep up, otherwise find a new trainer. You don't need someone who lies to you to make money.

The author is overestimating the target market and overall impact. In my experience, a disproportionate number of white, upper-middle class women are eager to embrace rejection of science for more primitive approaches to things: 1. The unmedicated child birth trend is largely supported and encouraged by white women with no…

You sound like you are in a good place to advocate for yourself. Find out what it is about and make a good decision for yourself. (BTW, I wouldn't do optifast either)

It's recommended to introduce solids between 4 and 6 months. Introducing solids at 6 months is not even remotely rushing in.

Hard to offer tips when your diary is closed. Are you weighing your food? If not, start there. Otherwise, 30lbs in 5 or so months is huge. Doesn't look like there's much of a problem.
