It was helpful for me but I think a big part of that was having the right therapist. She specialized in PTSD and rape trauma and was able to help me work through things in a safe, stable environment where I didn't feel threatened. Unfortunately, a lot of times PTSD treatment involves discussing the traumatic event in order…

I have chronic major depression, generalized anxiety disorder, and PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder). As a result, I take 450mg Wellbutrin and 1.0 mg Klonopin every day. The medications really help me but they also can have weight gain as a side effect. I started out on Zoloft and gained 20 pounds... I lost a little…

Hi! I'm finishing up week 3 today so I'm a bit ahead of both of you but LOVING IT so far. I think FIRE 45 or FIRE 45 EZ is my favorite. I also really like FIRE 55 EZ. :) I have the extra DVDs so I'm doing the 20 week program too.

I do them back to back just to get them done. Besides, then I only have to get all sweaty once! Also all you turbo peeps, I'm still fairly new here and looking for more friends so feel free to add me :)

omg, I am such a turbo addict. Yesterday I had a rough day and all I could think of was going home to get my Turbo "fix" because then I would feel so much better (and I was right!) I think my favorite workout is FIRE 45 or FIRE 45 EZ but I love all of them :)

I add coconut, pineapple, and a little bit of vanilla... sometimes some truvia if I want it a little sweeter. DELISH!

My husband and I have been married for almost two years now (our anniversary is in August) but we've been together for 9 years.

Endorphins!

I've had two major knee surgeries and 2 minor surgeries (arthroscopy only & a hardware removal). I had my major surgeries when I was a teenager but here are the things I suggest you ask because the knowledge was helpful for me: 1. What type of anesthetic will be used? Will they use general, or will you be awake? Do you…

I wear thongs and hipsters/cheeky panties. I like boxers on guys.

Mine is super easy and boring (to some). I like black beans with rice and fresh pico on top. YUM! I had this for lunch two days in a row :) Sometimes I make black bean soup but otherwise, I'm not that creative... I guess I should check out some of the other responses here for more ideas!

Thanks for reminding me! I got so busy working on my inspiration board that I forgot. I've got to go eat dinner and shower before! As far as during, I'm going to use that hour as my meditation time for the day. :smile:

Wow, you look fabulous!! That's awesome :)

I take a multi-vitamin, biotin, and a probiotic (I have IBS and it really helps). I also used to take fish oil but I stopped because I got a gross taste in my mouth from it. Blech!

^^This. I'm an emetophobe (irrational fear of vomit/ing) so if there is a chance of getting a bug, I freak out. Though my inclination is to avoid food, I stick to things that are on the bland side. Oatmeal, non citrus fruits, etc. I also make sure to wash my hands as much as possible to reduce the chances that I'll get it.…

Tiger Parkhaven.... LOL

I'm always looking for new friends and accountability partners. Feel free to add me! :)

I just posted in the Slytherin home room - this is AWESOME! :)

Hi - I just saw the post and invitation to Hogwarts. I'd love to be a part of Slytherin if y'all will have me!

I do cheat but usually when it's beyond my control. For example, Fridays are my weigh in day. I weighed in this morning and showed a 4 pound gain from last week. However, it's my TOM and I can gain up to 8-10 pounds in bloat so I never count this week of the month. Next Friday I will record my weight.

Happy to help! ^_^

Mine are 15" and they've always been big. Even in high school when I was at my thinnest, my calves were always 13.5 - 14. The only time it bugs me is when I want to wear cute boots!

OMG, I saw this episode on TV and I thought I was going to die laughing. AWESOME!

I change my workout playlist on a weekly basis. Here is the latest mix: Lady Gaga - Born this Way Daft Punk - Derezzed (Extended Mix) Avril Lavigne - What the Hell Far East Movement - G6 J Lo feat Pitbull - On the Floor Flo Rida - Right Round Ke$ha - Tik Tok Rhianna - S&M Will Smith - Black Suits Comin' (Nod Your Head)…

I consider myself to be nice. Then again, I'm a counselor - kinda comes with the territory.

It's just one day. We all have slip ups and indulge from time to time. Don't beat yourself up over it. Remember, tomorrow is a whole new day!

I'm a big fan of the Moving Comfort Juno bra. It's a bit hard to get on but once it is on, those puppies aren't going ANYWHERE! http://www.movingcomfort.com/Juno/350025,default,pd.html Edit for link.

That is so wonderful! I've had asthma since I was 4 years old and I was told that I would "grow out of it." While it's gotten MUCH better, it's still there sometimes and, unfortunately, it's exercise induced. However, I find that the more I work at cardio the easier it gets. I hope to someday accomplish what you have!

LMAO! :laugh:

^ This! I stopped going to my gym largely because I was sick of dealing with the preppy college girls that would come in wearing full makeup and then do .2 MPH on the treadmill trying to look hot and pick up guys. Uh, no. If you come in and -WERK IT- I don't care! I guess what I'm trying to say is that I don't really care…
