I'll admit, I'm going to be a little biased because I am a month away from being a nurse practitioner but if your wife really does have a skin INFECTION then she needs to see her primary care physician or a dermatologist. I'm not saying that more natural remedies don't have their place and obviously I don't know your…

I was originally going to a $10 a month gym and following the new rules of lifting for women. I would seriously recommend that since you have never done lifting before. Maybe you could find a female buddy to do it with you? It's a pretty long program. I changed over to crossfit because my workout buddy moved out of state…

the gum that tastes like different deserts, fruit, tea

It is completely possible to lose weight on those medications. Just watch your calories, try to eat healthy and do exercise and the weight will come off.

you should be so proud of yourself, that's a huge difference!

especially if you were on some kind of "water"pill then it's water weight. Give it sometime. Monitor your weight and blood pressure and call your doctor if it gets worse although I think they will say the same thing.

I do one where instead of peanut butter, I add frozen berries. Super good!

I was wearing a pair of shorts I've had for a long time and I put my keys in the pocket to walk my dog and they almost fell off! Pretty awesome feeling although close to catastrophe

My friend taught me this delicious lunch i make on the regular. First you cut up 3 pieces of bacon and start browning them, then throw in 3 cloves of garlic and some veggies like carrots and cucumbers. Let those heat up and then put a splash of white wine which gets the bacon flavor off the pan. Finally, put in a whole…

different scales also you can show a difference of 5 pounds during the day. weigh yourself first thing in the morning after visiting the restroom and before you eat or drink anything

congratulations on your success so far! I'm impressed! You can do this!

don't go off of the machines and it would be better if you could get a heart rate monitor instead of using MFP's numbers

I think it's also important to mention that she was sweating so losing salt that way.

Your post might be the most inspiring I've seen so far. I'm going to look at your youtube channel and hope you explain what you did because I want those abs!

I have two friends that are super harsh. Basically told me that I will never slim down with weight training and I am wasting my time. I try to just shake it off and remind myself that no one knows everything and that they aren't trying to hurt my feelings or anything. You could also just say "I don't really want to hear it"

I love my Jamis Coda, it's a commuter so a kind of hybrid. Pretty light and wasn't crazy expensive. Around 600 with tax.

the skinny cobb salad! so much salad and it's delicious!

That's a really good deal for crossfit!

I have serious issues with the scale. One thing to tell yourself is that the day after you do any kind of muscle work, you are going to weigh more because your body is holding on to water to heal your muscles. That will keep me off the scale because I know i'm not going to like what I see and if you are doing 30 DS…

This delicious recipe http://iowagirleats.com/recipes/superfood-salad-with-lemon-vinaigrette/ I was always eating out for lunch. Now I pick a recipe on Sunday and Wednesday and go shopping just for those ingredients and make it that night and split it up into single servings. Now I know at least one of my meals is going to…

Have you tried to take the Iron supplement with orange juice? The vitamin C helps absorption. Also, make sure not to take the supplement at the same time or within two hours of milk, calcium, antacids, High fiber foods, (such as whole grains, raw vegetables, and bran) or Foods or drinks with caffeine If you can, try to…

I have the same problem. What I've been trying to do is make sure I eat really well during the day so I have more wiggle room at night. Also I've had to limit my number of drinks because that can just get out of control! Also, exercise earlier in the day so you have more calories to work with.

You look awesome! Super hot. I giggled when I saw the arm of the little kid copying you

I was looking up reviews and it seems like a lot of people didn't like it and they wished they had got a fitbit. I would love to hear from actual people on this site though that have used that one

jump rope! dancing around to your favorite songs! bike ride if you have a bike

1. Eat more clean and cook more 2. Do cardio on my non-lifting days 3. Get my ratios to where they should be 4. Loose weight and inches and tone up!

Forget the bros and take over that part of the gym! They will be impressed in no time. I just put in headphones so they are not encouraged to talk to me.

gaining weight isn't really a side effect if you are still watching what you eat. Cigarettes are appetite suppressors so if you are not watching what you eat, you will eat more.

At first i was super sore, so maybe space it out if you are in a lot of pain. Later it was fine and I wasn't sore by the time it was the next lifting day. Make sure to listen to your body.

Woah! I would never ever think you were at similar weights! I too hate the scale so much
