  • Awesome! I love lifting heavy!
  • I didn't lose weight but I lost inches. Can't remember exactly because it was a while ago but I know it was 1 size down. My endurance increased & I noticed I could run longer.
  • Agree with others. Fat burners left me with an irregular heart rhythm. Wish I would of never taken them. Build more muscle & you will burn more fat.
  • Gracey for many years the pill worked great for me. I didn't have any complications or problems. It wasn't until the last 5 years or so that problems have started showing up. I'm not sure if this is due to long term use of synthetic hormones or maybe due to switching brands. If you can avoid the bcp, I would say stay far…
  • Thank you for your response. I'm hoping that my cycle will go back to normal and I'll be able to lose weight. I also hate the pill and what it has done for me. I am happy to be hormone free for 23 days. I haven't experienced major emotional issues just some mild bloating this week, tender breasts and itchiness.
  • I used to get migraines all the time and thought they were inherited since my mother gets them all the time. Figured out last year it was Reclipsen, so I was switched to Microgestin FE 1/20 but that made me so bloated & irritable, then switched to Ortho Tri Lo and that made me insane. I had serious temper problems with my…
  • So sorry about you experiencing that. That's horrible! I didn't know vision could get worse. I had a friend who got a blood clot while on Mirena. Pretty scary stuff. I initially got on the pill when I was 14 years old to regulate my periods. I used to get so sick while on my period that I would miss school. I've been on &…
  • Congrats on losing 10lbs so far! That's awesome! I need to lose 25-30 lbs. I wish you the best of luck with your weight loss journey as well! Thank you for your response.
  • I started OxyElite Pro... the old formula May 3rd. I lost 3 lbs after a week of using it. I followed the directions exactly except I cut down to 1 pill a day after week 2. I really wish I could of continued to take this because so far it's the only pill that has worked for me besides the banned Hydroxycut with ephedra. 1st…
  • It depends what supplements & what you're trying to achieve. I take a multi vitamin every day & a protein shake every day after I workout. In the winter months I take vit c & Host Defense by New Chapter to prevent myself from getting sick. Creatine, bcaa & fish oil are also popular supplements.
  • Whey is great as a post workout shake especially if you consume it within 30 mins of exercise. It helps with muscle repair & recovery. You will notice that you won't be as sore. If you can tolerate dairy then whey is good. If you can't then try a plant based protein like rice or hemp. A great high quality protein with not…
  • Speaking from my own experience when I gave up soda & sugary fruit juices I lost 10 lbs in 2 months. I was drinking soda & juices almost everyday though. Now I only drink herbal teas, water, mineral water or almond milk. Once in a while I will take a sip of my hubby's soda but that's it.
  • I know this is an old post but I think long term use of hormonal bcp messed me up. I've been on so many different kinds on & off for the last 24 yrs. I had horrible cramping & would get so sick with nausea/vomiting that my parents put me on bcp to regulate which itdid help. The pills worked great for many years. Now I'm 38…
