That's good, pretty standard start-up from what I know. Only you know your body so if you give the medication some time and there are effects you are uncomfortable with, I'd definitely talk to your doctor. I suppose it comes down to what you feel like you can work with vs. the benefits of what it can do for your diagnosis.…

Also I highly recommend taking Omega-3's, getting daily physical activity and keep a regular sleep schedule. I find it easier to eat healthy when I make myself keep a somewhat regular schedule. Have you been tested/evaluated to make sure there aren't other issues going on? (i.e. thyroid, gluten or lactose intolerance, IBS,…

Hi! I've been on this 2 different times, the most recent stint has been almost at a year (have bipolar II). I haven't noticed any hindering of weight loss and definitely no ill effect on my appetite... Hopefully your doc did the standard start on a low dose (25mg) and then gradually increase the dosage? In addition to…

I love my BMF Link :) I feel like I'm getting as accurate a measure on my TDEE as I can get (supposed to be within 5-10% accuracy) which is how my setting my deficit. Some people don't like wearing a strap on their upper arms or having a device visible so if that would bother you, I'd go with one of the others... or do…

They make muffins?! D: All the sads that I have never seen them. I make my own at home but sometimes I'm just not in the mood to bake... gonna hunt these down, ty! OP I meant to mention I second the inclusion of quinoa if you are looking for a filling grain. It is good for you and works with so many meals and recipes AND…

I've been GF since Oct of last year. I'm intolerant at the least, celiac at worst (won't know for sure until I can get tested) and despite it being a bit bumpy the first few weeks, I feel so much better for it. The almost constant bloating, regular abdominal pain, joint pain, headaches, etc have all disappeared. If you are…

There is a lot of really great advice in this thread, particularly the point about taking her in to see a doctor and make sure there is nothing medically wrong. That should come first. I also think having an child focus on diet restriction (negative) sets a bad precedent at that age. I clearly remember that by the time I…

Looking at your profile and what you've posted here, I think you are better off seeking the help of dietitian and someone who can assist you with your history of eating issues (which appear to still be in existence) and not MFP. I wish you luck & I hope you get the help you need. Take care of your body/mind and love…

Love to join in! Started C25K earlier this week and I'd like to see how many miles I can put in for the month of May with that and my regular walks - I've never tracked my mileage before :)
-
same here! that sweet/salty back and forth drives me a wee bit batty. Even so, I am aware I will give in to some temptation for a day or 2 and as long as I don't go hog wild, I just accept it and march on. Reminding myself that the cravings and the omgemptystomachrawr won't last forever helps too :P

I try to do the following M: C25K, abs/obliques, brisk walk or zumba T: 30DS, strength, evening walk with my mom (only exercise she can do right now) W: C25K, abs/obliques, brisk walk or zumba T: 30DS, strength, evening walk F: C25K, abs/obliques, brisk walk or zumba S: 30DS, strength S: rest day/stretching Just started a…

Assuming she isn't prone to being sensitive about her weight, I don't see the problem? You've known her for a long time and you have swapped clothes before... has she given you reason to think she might not react well to such an offer? My best friend lost a considerable amount of weight last year. When she offered me her…

I have the BMF Link armband & my stats appear to be an average 0.7 /0.8 sleeping and 1.2 sitting at a desk working.

Congrats on your weight loss, 5.5lbs is GREAT and you shouldn't eschew that because you are having a rough time! I second the suggestion for keeping a journal for when you feel the urge to eat for the wrong reason. Getting those emotions outside of yourself in ways that aren't eating will ultimately help you change habits…

^This Except I haven't had anyone ask me what it is on my arm (not that I'd mind if someone did as I'm not self conscious). I also like that I can put the device in my bra when I'm being sedentary or am dressing up and don't want the armband as an accessory :P readings are pretty close to when I wear it on my arm. My main…

bumping to keep track :)

GO YOU!! I find myself doing similar things. Doing something for myself be it a manicure or pedicure or getting my hair cut or buying something I've wanted/needed for a while, lifts my spirits and makes me feel good which then carries over into my overall attitude about eating better and getting fit. A little self…

sent you a request :) biblio/cinephile myself! and one can NEVER go wrong with Zombies. ever.
-
Sent you an ad request. I'm at a similar weight right now (207) and my goal is in the 160s though it may end up lower. Happy to be supportive and conversational :)
-
I volunteer as tribute!

Okay so I did this once before and then I ended up off mfp for a while for *reasons* but it was definitely helpful to find ppl with similar goals. Recently re-started my journey to a healthier life and it would be great to make a new friend or two :) Bonus if you are gluten free (for medical reasons or by choice, doesn't…

5'8" 33 HW: 252 CW: 207 GW: 160s then reevaluate I'm eating between 1600 and 1700 cals a day and exercise 5 to 6 times a week with varying intensity and alternate days of cardio & circuit strength training. My TDEE seems to be averaging around 2400-2500 though this week its closer to 2600. Recently bought a BMF which has…

I'm definitely interested! Could use the help navigating my health and lifestyle goals. :smile:

kicking myself in the butt right now for not thinking of this while my boobs have been hurting like a mofo due to pms h2O retention. you are a life saver for today's workout & the future! GRACIAS!

Suggestion from personal experience - Look up some good hamstring, quad, glut, & calf stretches & even some arm ones - I found it extremely helpful last time (and this time since I've already started) in mitigating soreness. My biggest complaint about JM and this DVD is the lack of stretching. I know part of the selling…

YES!! Glad to see you here :flowerforyou:

Happy Friday y'all!! Everyone ready to shred?! Looking forward to sharing this experience with everyone :happy: @Meghan - Okay I know msmts and & weight should be as of today/tomorrow but I'm going to stick with the ones I had from earlier this week since TOM is throwing everything off for me *grumbles* Meghan0116 created…

"fell off the 30DS wagon" made me lol irl. ty! going to keep that in mind if at any point i feel like giving up (fell off the wagon after 5 days or so last time).
