Well right now, there's a class action lawsuit in Canada about women who've had permanent injury from Mirena. Oh... & I had mine surgically removed less than a year after it was inserted because I was in so much pain every month when my cycle came that I had to be hospitalized. I think it bears more research.

I'm a runner, and I fund that if I lift my shoulders and run with an upright/straight posture that it stretches my abs and tightens them. I can really feel it the next day.

Really? I guess most of my friends take better care of their animals. My cousin keeps food out all the time for her 2 dogs, & both are considered UNDER weight. Probably because she runs with them every day? lol

Sorry... but he sounds like a douche. I say you should go ahead & lose a few pounds. How much does HE weigh?

Based on your height, 1200 calories may not be a deficit sufficient to cause weight loss. At 5'2" it may be closer to what your body generally NEEDS on a day to day basis. 123lbs sounds like an excellent weight for 5'2", there really isn't anything wrong with that. At this point, I would recommend tossing your scale. You…

I've had pneumonia four times. I'm a runner. I run for an hour at a time (treadmill usually) about 3-4 times per week. I ran with pneumonia. I could make it about 30 minutes before the coughing would get bad enough for me to need to stop. My head would swim. My chest would feel like I had a band around it, restricting me…

.... because as soon as you start taking it, you become addicted to its instant gratification, and then have to take it forever. Above and beyond that, it stops working eventually because, like everything else, your body builds up a tollerance for it, and its stops working for you eventually. Usually when the problem is so…

I have a hard plastic ball with little nubs on it --- almost like the bottom of soccer cleets. I FREAKING LOVE IT. Just roll one on the bottom of your foot & it loosens EVERYTHING and your feet feel NORMAL again!!!

Mine too!

The relative size of 1lb of muscle is much smaller than the relative size of 1lb of fat. Get over it.

1) Pastry. 2) Cheesecake. 3) Fudge. 4) Chicken Wings. 5) Beer. 6) Pie. 7) Croutons.

Sounds like me... when I have an endometriosis flare-up. I'd see an OBGYN. My new BCP is the only thing that's kept me from curling up on the floor in the bathroom in a fetal position begging my BF to knock me out. I had been wrongly diagnosed by my family doctor with Ovarian Cysts... but that wasn't the case at ALL. For…

That 20 minute thing intimidated me too. Just drop your speed for the first one. It becomes surprisingly easy then. I skipped the bridge to 10k personally. A friend of mine that's an avid runner told me that it wasn't necessary. All you have to do is drop your speed. Once your body is accustomed to having your heart rate…

Went to a race today with my friend Tasha & her BF Rich. He did the 5k, we did the 10k. He stood at the finish line with his iPhone out snapping shots of us as we crossed the finish line. Afterward, we even skipped the BBQ & headed back to his place. The BBQs at those events are always burgers, pop, chips, & hot dogs. Not…

Princess Diana. I still remember exactly where I was & what I was doing the moment I heard. Terrible loss.

WOW!! Are you sure that's the same 2 people?! You look TOTALLY different! Congratulations!

Well... who does the cooking in the house? I found that when my mom was dieting (& my dad was the really overweight one) when she cooked the meals, she made better choices... two vegetables instead of a vegetable & starch. Or a salad with the meal. Making sure there was enough healthy stuff at dinner to make sure that he…

I help people because of all the help that I got when I started. And I'm down over 20lbs, so obviously that's worked for me. I think it's about "Paying it Forward". People did for me what I want to do for others.

Oui. Ma langue maternelle est français.

It's "Colour" in the Canadian dictionary.... & that's the one I'm working with! LOL

Excellent way to put it... I like that!

Calimari. Oh... then I found out (rather promptly, by the way) that I have an anaphylactic allergy to the stuff. I still have the scar from where the ER nurse jammed the hypodermic needle into my chest. Bad night all around.....

Yes. Yes I do. I had one today, actually. I still indulge sometimes. But I also ran 60 minutes today, burning over 760 calories. So...... I earned my cupcake?

One of the reasons I don't have instagram or twitter is that I'm SICK of "unfollowing" idiots on Facebook who post stupid pictures of unicorns, cats playing pianos, or other idiocy. At least posting something positive isn't as irritating as pictures of rainbows and unicorns that tell you to hug trees or "Keep Calm"....

I also find that these things make women look MASSIVE... and are less flattering than jeans. I haven't changed jeans size in a while either. In fact, in 25lbs, I've only gone down ONE inch in the jeans size. But they fit better, they don't rub the wrong way... and my muffin top is smaller. It's different for everyone.…

As many as your kitchen scale says? lol

You don't look outside a relationship when you're happy. Period. It doesn't happen. Clearly, she's not seeing in you everything that she needs, and that has her looking elsewhere. I know, that's hard to hear... but honestly, if she's looking around while still in a relationship with you... is that really the kind of person…

I had the same problem when I first started running. There was NO way I could manage to run for any measureable amount of time because it was BORING AS HELL.... Then I got an iPod.... and uploaded a bunch of my CDs. I downloaded comedy tapes. Books on Tape. Sometimes that makes it easier.

Is it PAIN pain, or just "muscle soreness" that you get from working out? Muscle soreness goes away from stretching, activity... and is usually CAUSED by excercise... it's basically your muscle tearing a little, and using water to repair itself... it tenses up, and gets uncomfortable. At least... that's how my trainer…
