If you want a good program try p90x. Great results AND you get to eat a decent amount of food! I'm too chicken to do it myself tho - i'm more into lifting heavy and hate cardio!

I don't like people commenting on my bad food choices. Its humiliating! Maybe someday i'll open it again when i cut out the crap after Christmas but right now people can p*ss off!

Yoovie you're a goddess. That is all! :P

I thoroughly despise how i look. Its mostly my weight but there are other things. I believe i might have slightly more confidence when i lose weight but, if i'm honest, i can almost guarantee some other insecurity will take its place. I'll have to work on my mental health as well as physical.

I'm all for the credit card!! Seriously though - great article. If someone could point me in the direction of the female equivelant let me know!

I'm sorry but any thread with Shake Weight in the title is going to attract a lot of jokes. Not trying to be offensive, just stating facts. Lift normal weights. They're amazing results-wise and less of a gimmick.

Whoahhh, I am so high right now!

Check out Leigh Peele's Metabolic Repair Manual - its supposed to be great for a crappy metabolism. There's a test on it that tells you which level you should be on too so you can tell how badly damaged your metabolism is. I was surprised to find that i'd done very little damage to mine!

"Abusive" being the key word. And abuse of the worst kind too!

Oh my god, you're going out with my ex! :P .....who i left.... .....obviously!

Great idea!! Ill be looking forward to walking from now on!

You sir, are a genius!!

If anything happens its not gonna be the end. A visit from aliens at the most! :-P I, however, plan to have the party to end all parties! :P Also - Nostradamus, a philosopher, predicted the end of the world years ago and that never happened. He actually has a big group of followers! The Mayans were just a civilisation. If…

I ate over 4000 calories today. My appetite needs an off switch!

I'm not from the States - but i hope everyone's safe!!

Thanks for the response! My DD cals are too high. I struggle to only eat 314 but ill do it right this week! I do 24 hours because of my sleep pattern - i have nights where i don't sleep or only get an hour. Should i fix up my schedule to ensure a 36 hour DD? Also is it the same for an UD or should the UD be shorter - as in…

No. No. No. GOD NO!!! I've heard nothing but bad things from people who have done this. One person developed fat in places she never had fat before. I'm not a believer in using drugs for weight loss. I'm not a snob, its just, I've taken pretty much all the weight loss pills and "natural" supplements there are in my…

^ My thoughts exactly!! If a person leaves someone because of bad sex they obviously have communication problems. If the sex life is lacking and you truly love the person, you'll speak to them about it and you'll both fix things. x

I plan on attacking a sweet potato if i'm still hungry later. Thank God I can't afford a takeaway and everywhere that does deliveries is now closed!

Sexual Chocolate - because chocolate was my first love. All he ever wanted was to be inside me. An abusive relationship i still havent recovered from!!!

Great article! Completely common sense, but it still taught me something new. Best start eating more slowly and consciously!

My TSH levels are actually my main problem. I think everything else was fine!!

Mines weird too. I started noticing something was wrong when i stopped getting periods. Though at this stage i was in a torture chamber of a gym, and they had me on a horrible starvation diet where i could only eat 2-3 portions of chicken, turkey, or fish with veg per day! (i cheated on that diet by eating protein bars and…

I don't use hypo an excuse, i use it as a reason to try harder. I usually eat clean with no grains or dairy but i do have off-days like most people. I'm on levothyroxine and will be going for my 3rd blood test on monday. (my first test was the basic one and they found nothing, then i got diagnosed after asking for the full…

Its total torture isn't it?! You never know how many calories to eat or what to do. What exercise are you doing? Maybe your body needs more fuel? I also get EXTREMELY tired. I could probably sleep for 24 hours straight given the opportunity (unless i actually want to sleep - then my body won't allow me to)! I wouldn't mind…

I babysat him when he was a drunken mess! :-P

10lbs in 40 days. With hypothyroidism... How, just HOW?!! Thats amazing. I'd exercise daily but it would jeapordize my recovery since i lift 2 days apart from each other. I'd be getting my TSH checked every week if i had my way!! Thanks for the info on the scale. I'll remember that for monday! I'm always stressed. I think…

I will DEFINITELY get my adrenals checked. A lot of the things you just described sound just like me! Especially the anxiety and sleep issues - thats if i can sleep!! I have days where i can't sleep until 11am the next day - then i'm out cold until somebody wakes me up. Its really embarrassing when people call to the…

Funny you mention it but i actually follow LeanGains with the 14 hour recommended fasting window. Its convenient for me but only because i can't do the multiple small meals thing! 1200 calories seems way too little and i've been advised against that since i lift. The same goes for working out more than 3 times a week. Its…

Yeah i was thinking of getting my cortisol checked, as well as my adrenals. (You're not the first person to suggest this to me.) Are you feeling any different now? Obviously i assume you won't know about weight until after your pregnancy, but has your energy etc changed?
