My resting heartrate is 36!!!

I have always been a healthy eater and always excersised. Howver in the last year depression hit me in the worst way - somethign that i could not combat with healthy eating and excersize. I am extremely natural in my approach to medications so finally agreeing to try one was a very big step for me. I started with zoloft -…

My favourite thing at GNC is those sweets that are meant to be vitamins - loaded with sugar and every other chemical - i wonder how many ppl down bags of those thigns thinking its doing them good???? terrible......

I think the answer will be if it fits in your macros do it. I eat at least half if not a whole avacado a day, but it always fits into my calories - i love them and i love the benefits to my body - my skin, nails etc. Even if I'm over because of it i dont worry. the nutririon associated with it are worth it to me.

I would suggest you look at the following: 1) gluten consumption (cherios etc) 2) artificical sweetner (huge culprit) 3) dairy 4) fruit all of those are TERRIBLE for me. Eat whole foods, less grains and less dairy - see how you go.

I can say I definately do not. I felt so terrible today. i hated the way I looked in the mirror and hated even leaving my house byt i had to go to meet my cousin.I did what i always do when i feel bad - i put on red. In this instance it was a red dress. I left feeling awful and dragged my feet. Regardless. I met my cousin,…

How can no one have said champagne!!!! All time fav.

I get this from carbs too - i want answers also!

are you about to rebutt the suggestoin? what makes me an FBI agent! haha

Low selt esteem has not always got to do with weight. I'm 105 pounds and struggle with it every day. For me the best way to deal with it is gratitude. I began to volunteeer at a hospial, visitying sick people who have no friends and family - this is the most uplifting experience i have ever had - the giving back changes my…

HI MIchelle I am mostly raw - not vegan but i wouls ay 90% raw. I do eat some small amounts of fish if it is infront of me but other than that is a fruit and vege diet. I am celiac so no gluten. I dont eat dairy except keifer (probiotic) yogurt. I am less concerned with vegan and raw than i am with eating clean - i refuse…

I took it for 4 weeks and gained 6 pounds in those 4 weeks despite working out harder, not eating any more than i usually do. The moment i went off it my metoabolism shot up again and i dropped the weight in a week. Howver, mentally i felt GREAT on zoloft... its definately a toss up with what you prefer?

I love my HRM - i use it to challenge myself each time i run - i get really annoyed if i forget it or if i forget to set it one day, it means i miss my day's challenge - its as addictive as MFP!

Hey all - thanks for the responses - after 4 weeks on zoloft i was a total zombie, no energy wanting to sleep all the time - i couldnt excersise as i was sluggish like i was wearing a backpack of weights - and that KILLED me - i love love love my excersize. I was also very numb emotionally. I also gained 6-8 pounds (varied…

Not only is that a wonderful, inspirational story but you also look amazing!!! Congratulations!!!!

Your diary looks awesome. Great, whole, healthy foods. I say stick with it for a bit longer. More importantly, how do you feel??? I bet eating so well you feel amazing!!!

I have been a cardio junkie my whole life..... I never bothered with weights despite everyone telling me i should. Then i over did it and got injured. Injured so badly i wasnt able to do cardio. So i started lifting weights .... Well the rest is history, my body changed so drammatically.... i couldnt believe it. ontop of…

I looked at taking wellbutrin for depression/anxiety after trying everything NOT to take meds. I was told that it has quite bad side effects and so was suggested to take zoloft intstead. Zoloft has been a lifesaver. no side effects whatsoever, it simply 'takes the edge off' and allows me to functoin normally so that normal…

I go to NYC alot, i have a list of things i usually give to ppl - i have copied a bunch from it below. I would also suggest booking any of these through opentable ahead of time. If you are going in may it might be too late for some of them.... Sorry some are links, some you will have to google! PM me for any qu's....!…

Mmmmmmm I expected more debate. Perhaps I should have thrown in a few controversial comments.

Me too!!!!

41. And I had the exact situation as the poster. Ow ever funnily enough after I got administered IV iron it rose to 51. Go figure. Yes, I'm a runner

I'm interested in your progress on the. I've been prescribed the same but yet to start. Keep me posted!

I have been using this http://www.amoryn.com/ And it's great. 5htp did not work for me. I think this is the best I've found.

I do hot yoga (core power if you are in the US) - i burn anywhere from 150-250 cal per class reading from my HRM. I do the class that incorporates cardio and weights so its very tough. Regardless, the higher burn is if i've done some cardio before to get my heart rate up. probabley worth telling you that i dont burn…
