I was diagnosed also with Adrenal Fatigue and completely understand what you are going through. I tried for ages to manage it on my own, but nothing helped until I found a great naturopathic doctor in October. Here's what she's put me on: 50-70% veggies every meal. 80% of which needs to be cooked - either steamed, boiled…

wowza! that's great work on your weight loss!

thank you everyone for the new friend requests. :)

thank you, there's a friend request coming your way. :)

With my work its usually one on one sessions with clients, so i can't log in even on a phone. They are paying for my undivided attention. Its not the logging and the exercise that's a problem, but when i drop some pounds or inches, or have another goal met, and post it, it would be nice if at some point someone…

thank you everyone for the ideas. :)

thank you everyone. :)

really? no one can help?

Personally, I'd consider it "junk food". The reason is its fairly high in calories (170) considering that its only 52grams in weight, its high in sugar, its very high in fat - and there doesn't appear to be any nutritional value at all. Basically I consider everything that does not have nutritional value to be "junk food"…

those are great ideas. I'll try that. :)

thank you, I'll look into that. :)

I don't start out too fast as I'm mostly just walking. I'd like to be able to get back to jogging, but I don't have the time right now. I will try the relaxation techniques before walking, hopefully that will help. anyone else ever have this problem?

I just wanted to add that most countries produce specialty collector's edition coins. If the americans on this site want to see what your government is offering check out this site: http://www.usmint.gov/ only I'm sorry to say, there doesn't seem to be anything as cool as a glow in the dark dinosaur.....

Its not a coin that will be circulated, its not actually considered "money", Its a collector's edition. Lots of people collect coins so the government issues specialty coins every so often as its a way for the government to make some extra cash. The government is happy and so are the collectors. BTW, that coin will sell…

BWAH HAHAHAA!!! my sister showed me that and I had it stuck in my head for days!!!

I was in a long distance relationship for 2 years. He lived in Virginia and I lived in Ontario. It was very lonely, and expensive. we talked on the phone multiple times a days, and saw each other about 5 days a month. (14 hour drive, or fly depending on costs) But with a long distance relationship it means going to social…

Exactly. That's WHY they give out shirts. Its not the same as recieving a ribbon or metal after the accomplishment of completing the run. Its to create awareness in others - those that would see you (friends, family, acquaintenances, coworkers etc) - and to promote their cause, so they can get more funding to do what they…

I just got back from my workout - 80 minutes of a walk/jog combo...and I feel like a freakin ROCKSTAR!! Yeah! you heard me - I said ROCKSTAR!!!! I even got checked out by 2 different guys while out tonight - that was good for the ol' ego. :) now if you will excuse me....I have a date with the shower....if my legs will hold…

It could well be true. I did a 37 minute walk last night with my ft4 and it said I burned 191 calories. But in that same time frame I have burned more when walking with weights or going somewhere were there are hills. (neither of which did I do last night) It all depends on your height, weight, walk speed, level of fitness…

these are some tips that work for me: - Never let myself get too hungry. I eat regularly because I find if I go for a long time without anything I start to crave the bad stuff, and it gets too hard to resist. Whereas when I have a healthy level of fullness or hunger I find I can make better choices. - Drink lots of water.…

those are great goals everyone. :) here's mine: 1 - be able to jog for 5 minutes straight. (currently about 1.5 minutes before I need to slow it to a walk) 2 - dropping 1-2 clothing sizes 3 - sleep better....I hope. ok, anyone else out there want to share??

bwahhahahahahahahaaaa!!! that's EXACTLY what I was thinking! Snap. And blow out the candle.....

Years ago while out with a bunch of girls at our local bar, a guy walked up to my friend and said "I just had to come over and tell you how gorgeous your eyebrows are" I bursted out laughing, but it worked on her she agreed to a dance, then a drink, then gave out her number and i think the actually went out a few times.…

A week left is lots of time to find a nice outfit to wear for the wedding. More to the point, what she does or doesn't do isn't really any of your business. But I have to say, if you were my mom, or my future mother-in-law, I'd be extremely angry that you posted personal family business on a public website where anyone and…

My FT4 came with a chest strap.

I bought an FT4 about a month ago and absolutely love it. I find its motivating when I use it because I have a more clear idea of how well I am working out. I also find it easy to use. I also looked into the difference between the FT4 and the FT7. What the store manager told me, and what was validated by polar is that they…

Excuse my ignorance, but what are plyometric??

Its because they aren't miserable enough. They may not like where they are, but it isn't bad enough to inspire change. I'm a holistic practitioner, and one thing that has been stressed through my training, is that not everyone actually wants to get better. Ilness and chronic problems have percieved benefits. For some, it…

The measurements are accurate. I am very careful about choosing the same place each time. Besides, I've dropped a clothing size and am now wearing clothes that I couldn't wear 3 weeks ago. And the clothes that I was wearing in January is falling off and looks way too baggy. So I take this as a sign that I'm measuring…

Just to be clear, I'm not complaining. I'm just confused. I have gone down a clothing size, which I am especially happy about. Plus I've really bumped up my exercise, and am feeling the benefits of that too. Thanks for all the thoughts on what could be happening. I guess time will tell if the scale will move or not. Think…
