And, if you are allergic to bee stings, you will be allergic to bee (anything) pollen. Yep, I swear by it too. It gives you more energy & a more positive outlook (imho). I take it (eat it) every morning.

You are going to do awesome! It's not as hard as it sounds, trust me. And, you've got half of the battle won just by beginning. You have determination, a goal, a plan & all that equals success! Now, you just have to believe in yourself & the pounds will start to fall off! Besides you've just come to the most inspiring…

I take 5000 of Fish Oil every day. Will check out the Vit D - hadn't heard of that one. But, I also take Bee Pollen (if you are allergic to bees, you are most likely allergic to Bee Pollen so be careful)! I started with Fish Oil. I did okay, but after I started taking the Bee Pollen, I started to feel lots & lots better. I…

bump thanks

:laugh:

Wonderful results, my friend! Great job!:bigsmile:

I've been running for a few months. Everyone's responses were fantastic, but I did want to add... Check out Runner's World Shoe Page: http://www.runnersworld.com/channel/0,,s6-240-0-0-0,00.html I could not have begun to buy a pair of shoes without it. It really gives you lots (maybe more than you need right now) of info on…

Perfect! I just programmed it in my phone! Thanks so much for your help. I've been wondering about how to do this for a while. :flowerforyou:

I have the paid one.

Swedish Bitters is an herbal elixer that basically, stimulates the gall bladder which produces bile, which then flushes through the ducts of the liver, cleansing it in the process, of wastes, toxins and accumulated debris. This action, generally, will also initiate a bowel movement. You take 1-2 tsp (I think - check label)…

I have IBS-C too. Amitiza messes with my vision (:huh: ) so I can't take it. I used to take zelnorm & it was fabulous, but alas anything great they snatch off the market. I've taken miralax for years, but since eating healthier & doing some of the same things that Hillary is doing, I've been able to control it. I'm totally…

Yep, couldn't have said anything any better. Ditto. Good on ya' Hillary! :drinker:

Thanks Kara! I can't wait to get back out there, but I know I have to give myself time to heal up. I'll definitely look into the Chi Running. I think I am a normal to high arch w/ normal pronation (not that I totally understand that), but that's what I bought my shoes on. But, I really don't know if I'm a toe or heel…

OMG! This helped immediately! Thanks for that.

:wink: Bump

You guys rock!~ Thanks for your replies. I'm really worried over here & your quick responses really helped. :drinker: I usually do try to do some light stretches before hand & a 5 min easy warm up but maybe I'm too eager with that. I also do a 20 min Yoga session every morning. I'll try all your suggestions. And to those…

LMBO! I've learned: 2TBSP of dressing is a huge amount! If I don't exercise, I tend to binge (don't ask why, can't explain it.) If I find something that is fun (for me it's Yoga & Running), I will *want* to exercise. My body craves activity. Good food is good to me.

Really sounds yummy.

Just wanted to say that today is graduation day (day 90) - In my experience, you absolutely have to have FAITH in the program. I went into this with the attitiude of: I'm already this weight so if I stay this weight but am more muscle than fat, so what! Well...I have absolutely no idea what my weight is, but the last time…

Personally - my nutritionist started me on this & it works ALONG with healthy diet & my weight lifting & cardio. :flowerforyou: Use Sea Salt & a loofah & scrub the heck outta those dang spots:flowerforyou: My personal experience is that it totally works (with everything else I'm doing). The backs of my thighs were not good…

I have these same problems from people that are close to me. They see that I am looking better & comment on how so & so lost a ton of weight doing the cabbage soup diet or some such nonsense diet "craze". I just politely say that's great for them & then move past it. I've had people tell me that I don't NEED trail mix…

bump for later

bump cuz I can't watch it at work, but I wanna come back!

Okay so yeah, I'm a girl, but my brother (the runner in the family) swears by compression (think that's what it's called) shorts. He "bare" runs otherwise I think - just the compression shorts & his run shorts over them. HTH

Uh-oh, sorry for not checking the posts. I'll brb with the recipe & nutritional info.

Glad you posted this as most people do not even know what PCOS is, much less how it can affect us. :flowerforyou:

How low is low carb? All bran muffins are going to have some carbs (actually most have lots - I've got one for around 18 or 19).

I eat clean-ish, pretty much follow the diet (usually by following the carb/protein/fat split through MFP), do my dvd every day & follow up the strength training days with the P90X recovery formula. I've seen some pretty decent results. I'm on Week 11 Day 5. I'm seeing more results in the last 30 days than with the first…
