Had some french fries last night and couldn't even eat half of what I normally would have. They just didn't taste that great. Afterwards, I felt sick to my stomach and had heartburn. SO NOT WORTH IT.

I will have to do my stats tomorrow, I forgot to weigh myself and already ate!! But I will start thinking of goals! So excited!

Reported.

Did you have this pain after you did the pose yesterday? You might have gone to deep into the pose without being ready for it. I do feel like doctors and therapists do not talk, but I truly feel that the therapist has it right with this one. I have 3 herniated discs in my lower back and child's pose did hurt in the…

I'm lame, who says w00t anymore?

Oh, also several times a day you should take like 10 seconds and just lean back with your hands on your lumbar area to get a nice lengthening in your spine. Just put your hands there, lean back and kind of look at the ceiling as far back as comfortable. Think about it: everyone bends forward countless times a day so you…

Hey, I'm not a yoga instructor but I've been through plenty of PT plus almost through nursing school. On the bike, there is pressure on your spine as you are holding yourself up with your arms and try to keep yourself semi-erect. In child's pose, your spine is allowed to relax and lengthen, taking stress and pressure off…

Biolage?

Seriously, I agree that breakfast is the best meal to go over on. As long as you didn't eat fried chicken and gravy, I think you'll be fine :) Unless you did... In that case there's always tomorrow.

I'm Maranda, I'm 25 and I'm a graduate from the University of South Florida (Go Bulls!) with a bachelor's degree in Psychology. When I couldn't find a job and a great scholarship came my way, I went back and am now in nursing school! I see a lot of nurses/nursing students on this thread :) I graduate in May and can NOT…

From what I can see, you have a good sense of humor lol. That's all I have access to!

I would just try to keep track of your speed and how long you worked out, that way you can figure out the distance in miles :) They have online calculators for it, too.

Ooohh what does it entail?

There are studies that show men respond more to positive visual stimulation (attractiveness, money, whatever) than women. Conversely, women respond more to negative imagery than men. This was all done by doing brain activity scans while subjects were shown assorted images. SO, that could be an argument showing that men are…

I'm not clicking it, I think I know what it is... Something to do with never giving you up or letting you down? VERY motivational ;)

Because stairs effing suck. A couple of years ago I moved to an apartment on the second floor and was out of breath when I reached the top. After doing that for a couple of months, it was way easier, especially since I'm forgetful and always had to go back out to my car for stuff. Try going up and down as part of your…

Is it new or used? If it's used, don't do it. But if it's new, why not? If you truly think she would like it, no harm.

6 years later this month, faithful!

Pretty much everyone has said it: vertigo, low or high BP, heart condition. I would go to the doctor and see what's going on. They will probably want to do an orthostatic blood pressure on your (or if you have an at home BP cuff, you can do it yourself) where you take your BP laying down, sitting and standing to note the…

I'm sorry you are going through this :( But take it easy and when you are out of the initial phase do some light walking or maybe some yoga. But only for about 10-15 minutes in the beginning. As you get stronger, you can lengthen your activity. Don't do anything like you used to do for at least a month so your body can…

My school starts back up on Monday :( No use skanking anything up, I'm in nursing school and it's almost all women! I'd rather my actions show my skankiness than my wardrobe, anyway. Or something like that. Need to go shopping for school :)

I actually don't really like mine, I didn't realize that MFP was a whole community. I had originally thought it was just an app and used the auto-generated user name my undergrad college gave me for an e-mail. LAME! So, first two initials and beginning of last name. 2 is because there was another mjfrede?

BEYONCE OMG. So beautiful!!

Oh wow to meet your daughter? How exciting and I'm sure nerve wracking! You said yourself you are not girly, and so why are you trying to portray something you are not? Choose your favorite outfit or go shopping for a new outfit that makes you feel confident and relaxed. If you never wear dresses and are always in pants,…

My socks are too big for my shoes.

You are awesome for deciding to change your life despite the hardships you faced (profile stalking lol). And you have a kind and beautiful smile.

Is this for a promotion or something? If so, I would say no to all of them unfortunately. No offense but they don't flatter you as well as you could be! I would choose a two piece option like a nice pencil skirt and a pretty blouse or button down shirt. That way you can have something that will show your curves but still…

Thanks! You too you look amazing :)
