  • I just got this email from support: Hi there, Please accept our sincerest apologies for any problems you are having with your Jawbone syncing. Unfortunately, we are investigating an issue between the two. We are working with Jawbone to get this corrected as soon as possible. Whenever there is an interruption, it can cause…
  • Mine is still not syncing. I put a ticket in today.
  • Added many of you, but feel free to add me! emily.holden.miller@gmail.com B)
  • I'm anemic and it worsens when I get "glutened" (accidentally consume something that was cross-contaminated, usually in a restaurant) - iron deficiencies are caused by gut damage, which is generally caused by grains in celiac. My bet is that your Aunt actually has an additional allergy that is still causing gut damage,…
  • NOW we're talking!
  • I wasn't diagnosed Celiac until I was 29 and my blood tests were negative the first two times I took them. I have never been "significantly" ill, but my biopsy results were horrifying to my GI doctor - it was almost completely destroyed. I STRONGLY suggest that you get tested before you cut out gluten completely, because I…
  • False. Just because you read some pop article about its non-existence doesn't mean people can't be allergic or sensitive to wheat, barley or other grains and not have celiac. It's very hard to determine non-celiac gluten allergy, but if it makes someone's health improve to cut out gluten or grains, then there is no reason…
  • I honestly haven't read through the entire thread, but has anyone else that had a straight-to-implant reconstruction had extensive nerve damage and chronic pain as a result? I know post-mastectomy pain is FAR more common than the surgeons report to patients, but I truly wasn't prepared to give up my fairly active…
  • 5 months from this past Monday will be ours, and while I'm excited, I haven't lost nearly as much as I had hoped - I really had to kick it into high gear recently just to lose 5 lbs, and I was hoping to lose another 10 (at least) by the wedding - guess we'll see! I took my Mother and Grandmother dress shopping and it was a…
  • Getting married April 19th, and really struggling to keep my calorie intake down in addition to working out - you never realize the amount of mindless snacking until you log everything, eh? Hoping to drop 25-30lbs by April, and I think it's doable, I just really have to be more disciplined! Good luck to all you gals, and…
  • I'm totally with you here - I had a mastectomy 4 months ago, and I can barely move. Apparently this is an abnormal result from the surgery, but going from running 3-5 miles a week to barely being able to walk 10 blocks to my car is a really awful switch. I've gained 10 pounds... just from sitting and eating. I miss…
  • After pushing myself WAY too hard through W1-W3 (I did them all in 2 weeks), I had to take two weeks off to rest my knee which was swollen and angry because of overuse. Happy to report, though, that I sailed through W5D3 with flying colors yesterday (actuallly, the last 5 minutes were a little tough, but when she told me…
  • That's always going to be the case. Also, it can react with other medications. For instance, I was on birth control alone and was fine, celexa alone and was fine, but both together and I couldn't lose ANY weight if I gained it. It's all about chemistry, but more often than not, it just makes it harder for you to LOSE…
  • I'm interested in learning more -- I use the Couch to 5K program, but am definitely slow! :)
  • Fabulous! Congratulations on this HUGE accomplishment!
  • $4 sounds like a bargain to me -- I'm so glad that you're feeling great! Let us know how you're liking it! :)
  • Thanks for all the input. I guess even though I used to run every day, somehow I can't anymore...it's very disappointing because I feel like a caged animal if I sit for too long. So far, I've been resting, and when I called, my doctor actually suggested taking a supplement that promotes joint and cartilage repair (it's…
  • I don't even have kids and I have stretch marks from gaining and loosing so much weight. I will tell you, though, that they fade a LOT when you lose the weight. You might still be able to feel them there, but they aren't nearly as visible. That's also something I use to measure my weight loss is the visibility of the…
  • I weigh myself every morning as a routine because it helps me set my goal for the day... if I've lost pounds, then I don't worry as much about staying around 1200, but if I'm up, then I make sure that I stay around 1200. I usually exercise regardless of my weight, but I might do an extra cardio session (if my knees can…
  • Absolutely! Hasn't everyone seen a look in a magazine that they want to replicate, but can't because their [insert most hated body part here] is too big? :grumble: Women like Jessica Simpson, Christina Aguilera and Kelly Clarkson who struggle to maintain their figures make me so sad.... I mean, did anyone ever think that…
  • I LOVE "Get Running" for iPhone ... the voice is British and soothing and I don't hate her after she makes me run for 5 minutes! :glasses: Also, it works with the internal iPod, so it just lowers the volume on your music when she tells you to walk or run or reports distance/time. It's great!
  • Well done you! Keep up the great work!! :happy:
  • This Challenge is closed and has been moved to the "groups". If you're interested in joining, message me, and when we're taking new members I'll let you know! Thanks!
  • I'm rewarding myself when I get to 165 with new running shoes! I've been waiting to buy them because they're so expensive, but I've got them picked out and damn are they cute - and pink, of course! :) When I get to 150, I'll have to buy all new clothes because I haven't weighed that little since before high school... but I…
  • Yay indeed Ms. Gudiiya! Logan, I learned from the best! :D
  • OKAY LADIES! New forum is up here with your TEAMS and GOALS! Way to set those goals - now CRUSH them! :) http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/388027-new-year-new-me-week-1-11-7-11-13-closed-group
  • So far I've only got four ladies' information ... if you haven't filled out the form yet, please go here and do it so that I can see how many people are interested: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dEFLSHlhZC1mNlFoZTV4Y0JWYjZMWnc6MQ A smaller group would probably be better so that we can all give each…
  • Okay, ladies, go ahead and fill out the form here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dEFLSHlhZC1mNlFoZTV4Y0JWYjZMWnc6MQ I'll see how many members I have this evening, set up teams and post a new forum on here. Since we're getting started a little late, I'll see how the numbers look this evening and we…
  • Let's do a combo of % weight lost (since that's the only real fair measurement) and then set a goal of calories burned. I've also got some great stretches that I'll pass along so we don't have injuries! That should keep us moving... I'll post in here when I've set up the group. Glad we can work together ladies!
