Got my new charge 2 today, after losing my One last year (slipped out of the older :( ) https://www.fitbit.com/user/3FNHJL

Met my husband on OkCupid. They're not all bad.

I'm 215 lbs and Size 14/16 (LG/XL)

Did you not read the original post in the first thread, where the lovely author of the aformentioned post decided to mock everyone by telling us it doesn't exist? It's nice to know it's all in our heads. What would any of us do without you all telling us information about our bodies?

I hve not encountered a more contentious group of people than the pro-gluten coalition. You people are confrontational and hostile about something that DOES NOT AFFECT YOU. Why the hell would you care if someone doesn't eat gluten? Seriously, how does that have any affect on your life? It's no different than someone not…

Does anyone still have their noobs? I adopted 3 and they never came back online. Oh well.

I've been a vegetarian since birth and a vegan for the last 3 years. :)

Different things can affect your heart rate. Caffeine consumption, medications, stuff like that. I take a medication that raises my heart rate a bit, and it's unavoidable. See if you're taking or doing anything which could add a bit of stress to your heart. If not, you can try to work on your pace until your heart gets…

Your maximum HR at 27 is 193,so at 160 you're not too high. You should try to keep it under 164 so that you're in an aerobic (vs anaerobic) state. It's better for your body. C25K might help you with your heartrate, have you tried that before?

No particular order 1. Monk 2. Big Bang Theory 3. Veronica Mars // Gilmore Girls (seasons 1-3) 4. Friends 5. Roseanne 6. So Weird (Disney 1999-2001)

Sorry, still celebrating my youth, loving my 20s. ..... I just turned 29. :sad:

I'd like to volunteer as a mentor.... STATS: I'm 29. Married, and live in New Jersey. Since joinng MFP I have lost 60lbs. I love to lift, exercise, and stay active. I also knit, obsess over my favorite shows (big bang theory, once upon a time, and bones are at the top of my list), movies, and I love reading, broadway,…

Just a note: To those requesting to add me, please include a message with your request. I do not add people without a message as a matter of principle.

I've contacted you both. :)

I've been a Soy-Free Vegetarian for 29 years (literally since birth) and a Soy-Free Vegan for almost 3. Feel free to add me.

Welcome, it's never too late. Everyone was new at one point. I've been here for 710 days :smile: :flowerforyou:

No referrals needed. I scheduled an appointment with a gastroenterologist for this week. :sad:

Again, I eat incredibly SLOWLY. I take FOREVER to finish a meal. Please read the entire thread before making assumptions and assuming you've solved the problem.

If I did I wouldn't have created the thread. There's absolutely nothing wrong with trying to see if others have experienced this from eating rice.

Most. Helpful. Comment. Ever. Now I know what I've been doing wrong. I've been eating the rice straight out of the bag. Who would have ever thought that rice.....should be cooked?! Utter Insanity. :noway:

Thank you. I really wish people would read the entire thread (or at least the original post) instead of zeroing in on one word and then going off on a tangent about something that has nothing to do with the subject.

I was responding to the person who was suggesting that carbs could be the issue, or at least it is for them. If you clicked this thread hoping to discuss carbs, that's not why I posted this. I appreciate all suggestions, but I really don't need someone to sit there and debate the pros and cons of low carb. There are other…

That's really not what the topic of this thread is about. It's about pain, not Pro/Anti Low-carb.

I've read that people on a low carb diet consume almond butter. I didn't mention fruit.... People who don't eat vegetables are missing out on a lot of nutrients. But okay, then I guess I'd be eating nothing if I couldn't have vegetables and almond butter. Awesome

I am keeping an eye on it and so far it really seems to be rice that triggers it. As a soy-free Vegan, If I eliminated carbs, I'd be living on vegetables, almond butter... and that's about it because I think beans are considered carbohydrates. I don't really eat bread or any of that. My main carbs are rice (brown or…

As a vegan, rice is kind of a staple in my diet so it's hard to avoid it. I don't eat anything fast. I'm the slowest eater of everyone I know.

I was leashed. I remember it looked like a giant plastic springy coil key ring that was attached to 2 wrist bands. Then one of the bands was attached to me. There was also a waist attachment, which they also put on me sometimes. It was humiliating.

I eat lots of avocados. My cholesterol is usually between 120 and 140 and my HDL (good cholesterol) is 60-something.
