Same thing happened to me the first month or so that I started eating right and drinking enough water. It cleared up and my skin has never been better than it is now.

Your best bet for finding both sides of the argument is to use the search button just above the topic of this thread to look for "exercise calories."

My endocrinologist "prescribed" it for me to control my Type 2 diabetes and lose weight.

Yes, the pain is horrid. Mine have resolved on their own with a course of antibiotics, lots of warm baths, and liberal use of heating pads. My worst one only took 4-5 days to do its thing and drain on its own.

Thank you, Banks.

Go to Big 5 Sporting Goods. Looks like the one closest to Menifee is Murrieta. They've always got good athletic shoes on sale for less than $20.

You cannot believe your Wii scale at all if it is on carpet. If you have it on a hard surface, I don't know which you should belive.

Yes, there is a correlation. Most antidepressants are well known to cause weight gain and/or make weight loss very difficult. Your doc should have mentioned this. Some antidepressants can also totally mess up your glucose levels. Just above the blue bar with the Topic is a row of words in blue. Click on the blue word…

I haven't had nearly as many "nervous breakdowns" since I've started exercising.

The best song I heard today was Rock DJ by Robbie Williams.

I found a pumpkin hummus at my farmers market. It's amazing! I add 2 tablespoons of it to my morning oatmeal, and it is delish. I will be sad when pumpkin is out of season.

My weight loss had slowed considerably and was nowhere near 2 lbs/week, so I changed my goals from -2/week to -1.5/week and started dropping weight again within a couple of days. Yes, I was freaked out at the thought of increasing my calories, but I figured if I was losing about 1 lb/week anyway, I might as well eat that…

Try removing the workouts from your profile and see if it changes your daily calories.

One gram of carbs has 4 calories no matter what.

I like Sandisk. I have many mp3 players, but my favorites are Sandisk. I know how important that music is while you're exercising, so I would go ahead and get a Sandisk with a smaller capacity until you can get the one you really want. Then, if something happens to your "good," you'll have a spare. I do think it's better…

I'm pretty sure there's calories in vodka.

The mechanism of action for metformin is to keep the liver from spitting out too much glycogen, not to act on insulin itself. There is not supposed to be a risk of hypoglycemia from metformin. Do not take the word of anyone on the internet as truth or medical advice! That includes what I just said. If you can't get a quick…

Mine is open and has my fasting blood sugar in the Notes section.

I had a roommate many, many years ago who lost about 80 pounds. I was THRILLED for her! I had a friend about 5 years ago who was a health nut and constantly tried to get me to go for walks with her or tried to steer me toward healthy food choices. I resented the hell out of her for it and we stopped being friends. My best…

Done! 16 oz because I got carried away.

Done! Great challenge!

No, no, no. BMR is the # of cals you would burn if you were to stay in bed all day. Don't even look at it when thinking about your intake. Your Daily Calorie Expenditure is the number of calories you actually burn in a day based on the activity level you selected. Eat the number of calories MFP tells you to eat. Let the…

I have gotten rid of sandwich bread in my house and use only pita/nan for Everything! It is the only kind of bread in my house anymore. The teenage daughter is totally on board with the change and prefers pita/nan to sandwich bread for everything, too. She even buys her own at the farmers market. A "serving" tends to be…

Believe it or not, there's actually a nice beat behind Coldplay's "Clocks." My song for today is Usher Ft. Pitbull "DJ's Got Us Fallin In Love." (Oops! that's 3 songs from me!)

It would be a lot easier to pick just one song if I had any idea what kind of music you like.... For now, I'll say "Lose Yourself" by Eminem. Since it's already an ode to giving it all you've got, if you change just a few of the words in your head as you mentally sing along, it becomes an anthem to leaving your heart on…

I just tried adding 1/4 cup taboulie to 1/4 cup tuna. I added a dash of Tabasco because I put that on everything. It made a great side dish, but would have been too dry to make a sandwich. I got a pint of taboulie at the farmers market, so I'm trying to figure out how to use it.

I like "spanish rice" made by mixing ground beef, Rotel, and rice. Simple as can be. My mom uses regular stewed tomatoes because Rotel is too spicy for her. Sometimes she uses sausage instead of ground beef, but I dislike sausage. I flavor my serving with Tabasco (I have no problem with spicy!).

Two of my best upbeat Step songs are Garth Brooks. Callin' Baton Rouge and Two Pina Coladas (both from Double Live). Just try and keep up! :smile:

The problem you're having is related to the freshness of the eggs. Eggs that are fresh will be difficult to peel. Eggs that have had the chance to sit in the store or fridge for a few days will peel more easily. There is a scientific reason for it. it has to do with the membrane that holds the egg to the shell. It does not…

What kind of trouble are you having with sweets? Craving them? Can't say no to them? Sneaking them? Trying to have a little bite but not able to stop? Sweet tooth? If you're craving them, try to figure out what it is that's triggering the craving. Is there another food that can give you what your body is asking for? If you…
