How long have you been on the shot? I was on it for years and I found that as my body changed, especially in relation to hormones, then it changed the type of relationship the shot had with my body. When I started the shot, it was wonderful. Then, after around 4 years, my body changed naturally because of the age I was and…

And, without knowing it, I started a new page! :laugh:

Hey! I'm from Rapids too!! :bigsmile:

What kind of shoes are you walking in? Shoes make a HUGE difference and if you aren't using the proper shoes, your legs will hurt for sure. I started running in the wrong shoes and my legs would hurt for hours afterward, no matter how much stretching I did. I changed my shoes and Viola! My legs didn't hurt anymore! Good…

What a great idea! Here's mine. 8413 + 29 = 8442

Priceless advice! I wish I could have back all the money I wasted throwing food out because it went bad before I got to it! I just spend the extra and buy the precut. To me, I am paying for the time it saves me and we all know that time is money! :bigsmile:

I LOVE eating clean and I have the same problem with my BF and his eating. He loves to eat and I couldn't convince him to start eating healthier. So, I started to cook more and all of my recipes were "clean." I haven't heard any complaints from him yet. He likes the food and doesn't even realize that they are designed to…

I know what you mean about diagnosis. I was only 19 when I started to go to the doctor because I couldn't make it through the day without a nap. I had 3 different doctors tell me I was depressed. I kept telling them that I wasn't. My grandmother had depression so I knew EXACTLY what it looked like. It wasn't that I didn't…

I was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue back in 2000, so I COMPLETELY know how you feel! Telling someone with CF to just get up and do it is like telling someone with depression to just cheer up! :grumble: When the doctor told me that one way I could get more energy was to exercise for an hour a day, I thought he was insane.…

I know one close to this one... I love every bone in your body, especially mine. :noway: Oh, and because I'm in education, I love this one... If I could rearrange the alphabet, I'd put U and I together. Then, the other ones I know just get more inappropriate from there :tongue:

My devil is the Samoas. How can a combination of coconut, carmel and chocolate on top of a cookie not be the downfall of anyone? It's just not right. :grumble:

This is a great idea! Is it something you did on your own or was it something the troop offered as an option? I would have LOVED if the troop would have asked me instead "Would you like to send some cookies to soliders overseas?" I would have jumped at the chance, instead of saying yes when asked, "Do you want to buy some…

Any peanut butter or cheese in the house? Both are good, and heavier on the calories. Great job!

I resist by not considering any food to be "free." Someone's gotta pay for it...either they pay for it with money, or I pay for it with time on the treadmill. :laugh: As my college professor used to say, there is no such thing as a free lunch. Instead of doughnuts at a meeting costing me money, they cost me exercise time.…

The EXACT same thing happened to me! Except I was coming home from work, not a run. :blushing: But, my neighbor who has lived down the hall from me was in the elevator going to the same floor as me. We NEVER talk, but when he got into the elevator, he said "How's it going? You look great by the way! You've lost a lot of…

Lots of good answers here that probably give good insight as to what could be the cause. The only thing I want to add is that the morning after I enjoy some drinks, I am a little dehydrated and the scale shows it. It's a false number though. As soon as I rehydrate, I'm back to normal. Just a thought, especially if you have…

I know what you mean. It's amazing when you start to put in the calorie amounts of food and find out how they are really converted in your body! :noway: But, there are some foods that I allow to be that high and I eat anyway, like potatoes. I just make them "meals" like you did (I often do the same at Wendy's! lol) The…

Welcome! I'm in Chicago, and SO not enjoying the freezer that it has been the last couple of days! :laugh: If you need an army of friends (and who doesn't), I'll enlist! :smile:

I'm the same way Kathy! I used to crave that gross food, but now, when I do allow myself to eat it I feel sick and yucky!! :sick: Give me my celery and carrot sticks any day over a Big Mac! I even plan out my meals so that I'm not stuck somewhere and HAVE to stop to eat someplace with that kind of food. The "me" of 10…

Welcome to MPF!!

Welcome back! I took a 6 month hiatus last year, so you are doing good with only 3 months! :laugh: But, I'm back on it and seeing results again! We can do this!

Nothing gets me running more than The Offspring and Nickelback. Hard Alternative Rock with a little bit of anger and a good beat. :laugh: But hey, that's just what works for me. Others on my play list are Theory of a Deadman, Papa Roach, Puddle of Mudd, Foo Fighters, Social Distortion, Green Day and Hinder. I throw some…

Awesome! And just think of how great it will be when you are able to change that number to 25, then 30, then 35, etc. If that isn't motivation for the treadmill, then I don't know what it! lol:happy: Mine is almost to 35 and I can't wait. When I hit that number, everyone better watch out! And, when I hit my ultimate goal…

I love almond butter even more than peanut butter! Try it for sure! :happy:

Way to go!! 20 lbs is so exciting! It also sounds super great when you get to say it to people! :bigsmile: For good reason, people are really impressed when they hear you lost 20 lbs so make sure you all tell EVERYONE today. You earned it!! I can just hear it now...Store Clerk: "Did you find everything you are looking for…

I work in a professional field too so I have the same problem with ink placement! So far, I have my low back, the side of my stomach above my hip (which is currently my profile pic), both my feet (one on the top, one on the side), my upper arm and my hip. With the exception of the one on my upper arm, I can hid all of my…

Oh, and I almost forgot...Love your username! I'm an 8 (or rather, 88 now) fan too!! Go Junior go!! :bigsmile:

The way you describe how you found your tat reminds me of the best advice I ever heard from a tattoo artist. She said that as an artist, he doesn't put ink on people, but rather uncovers a tattoo that was always there but couldn't be seen. I love that! That is now what I say to people whenever they ask me what I think they…

Gramma gettin' inked! :laugh: I love it!! I will def put some pics on my profile tonight. I'd love to share them!!

I LOVE tattoos. I currently have 6, but have plans for many more. I have: ~ a tribal on my low back ~ the Pisces constellation on the top of my right foot ~ the lyrics "I hope you dance" on the inside of my left foot ~ a rose on my right hip (It was my first one :) ~ the name "Blackhorse" on the outside of my right arm…
