I know this is an old thread but I was just told yesterday I have a pituatary tumor and have been referred to a endocrinologist. I cannot get in to see her for a month so I have been reading up on everything since I've never heard of such tumor until recently. I was at 118 3 years ago healthy and happy and then symptoms…

Thank you! I figured I didn't give you much to work with. I will do what I can. Thanks again!

I am glad I found this thread!! I've been researching how to get off Paxil. I tried last winter after I gained some weight back, (went from 185 tom118 2 years ago) my dr put me on a weaning schedule. I had NIGHTMARE withdrawals and started taking my full dose again after 2 weeks due to the fact that I couldn't function due…

Very nice!! Great job keeping at it your an inspiration!!

Hey there! I'm Jen...I am on day 4 of insanity. Previously did p90x, going on a trip to Mexico in 34 days so trying to get in the best shape I can!! Hoping to lose 15 pounds still!! Hoping for the best!!

I'm 5'3" and 136 pounds I burn about 400 on my HRM each insanity workout. I would def recommend getting a HRM!! I got a new one last week. Went to best buy and got a polar f7 for 50$ on clearance. They are normally above the 100$ mark and are supposed to be best out there. Def use a HRM with chest strap for accuracy. Good…

I know this thread is from April but was doing some research as to wether or not to start with P90 or P90X...what are your thoughts? I am needing to lose 20 pounds only, I lost a lot of weight 2 years ago (65 pounds) and gained 20 back that just wont come off. My Nutritionist said I need less cardio and more strength…

I had one for about a week, it was NOT at all accurate for me, it was WAY off just my opinion. I even calibrated it to my stride etc. and it would calculate all kinds of steps while it was sitting still...I decided I lvoed it and the concept BUT just wasnt worth $100 if it wasnt accurate for me.

I am not sure after learning about how many cals I have to eat in the group and that cardio isnt really what they do its more weights that I am a good fit for the group :(

I see....I am not sure if this is going to be what I should be doing after learning all about it, I would rather lose 2 pounds a week and I am not a weights person really. I can learn but am really content with my cardio...My main goal is to be in a healthy BMI and lose 20 pounds so that I can fit into the clothes I wore…

Why can you not do 20 or 25% why does it have to be 15%? Just curious...

I used that one that is pinned to this groups forum...scobby something...and thank you :)

Eating is a problem I have never had LOL! I can eat and eat and eat....lol. But I see what you mean about cardio... so being new to excercise besides the treadmill that I am going to do what would you recommend doing for weights I have no idea...lol...I have 2, 5, 10 pound weights at home. I guess my main goal is weight…

I have already joined the group! :) And figured out my TDEE/BMR...

That does help I will see what I can do, it is hard with how busy I am and how I have been used to eating to do a certain amount of things daily but we shall see what I can do baby steps...lol. I am 5'4" amd 140 am looking to get to 120...

Thanks so much that makes much more sense. Another question then...will doing cardio and not really any weights hurt my weight loss with eating these calories? I just bought my treadmill and love running on it, it is like therapy the also is true for yoga. I cannot at this time watch any youtube videos I am at work but…

I would love to drop 20 in 3 months if possible but will settle for 15 I am in....not sure yet on my calories trying to figure that all out throught this new group here...am confused on BMR/TDEE. But I am in! I am also wanting to go to a nutrionist!

Ok so I read through the sticky note on the BMR/TDEE as well as calculated on the site am still confused though...sorry....lol. So it calculated me at this: BMR - 1417 TDEE - 2196 Daily Calorie Based on Goal of - 15% - 1867 So what am I supposed to eat for calories daily? I do not do much weights just hand weight and…

The link that is given to calculate it all and the replies from everyone on it? I think it is titled "TDEE what is it and why you should not eat below your BMR" I just printed it all off and am reading now....I am at work and being naughty lol. Thank you for your reply. I am going to read and hopefully this can help me!
