I also had the problem of prolonged bleeding and I went to the doctor again and again and then I remembered something that someone had told me years ago- when you are past child-bearing do not go to an OB/Gyn but find a gynecologist. I did just that and she was the first one to explain to me why I was bleeding to death and…

I have missed the post about someone still having periods at 55 years old but I want to offer some advice that was given to me when I was still in my 30's. When you are out of your child bearing years, seek out a gynecologist. Not an OB/Gyn but someone that only practices gynecology. I was bleeding to death for ages and…

oranges and tomatoes give me pimples....dairy will give me the cysts and although I say dairy - milk is the worse. So wise to cut it out for now. And it was my dermatologist years ago that told me that milk was the offender- not just my best guess

sweet

Too many oranges or tomatoes will break me out but my worse offender foodwise is dairy

I have not lost a pound in over a month!!! I know I need to bump up the exercise to get over this hump but doggonnit I'm lazy!! I did add some cardio at home after the gym yesterday and I did some cardio at home tonight. I'll hit the gym tomorrow for strength and cardio and try to get some in at least once this weekend. I…

ha! My neice went looking for them today- just because they are funny. There's also a candy corn M&M that is supposed to be just as bad if not worse than the Oreos!

wow!

I'll wear any color. I'm 5'9" and it hard to find tops that are long enough

wow! What a variety of scents. I read this through because I'm searching for my new fragrance as well. I wear Helmut Lang and it has long been discontinued. I stocked up on a couple of bottles and have enough to last for a bit but then I'm stuck. I did an eBay search recently and I guess I'm not the only one that wishes…

I absolutely cannot get my butt out of bed so I workout in the evenings.

September is the new January! My weight loss stalled last month but so did my exercise! My goal for September must be to add more cardio between gym days!

it's just nuts how they slip the bad stuff into things that should be good stuff. It's difficult to find a yogurt that isn't full of stuff you do not want to consume like high fructose corn syrup.

Wow! I AM a registered dietitian although I do not work in health care. And you need to do a little research before you make such a definitive statement since you are WRONG! Diet soda contains no calories and it's not high in sodium like some have stated (like the expert above) but it is not without harm. Many studies have…

Google "summer porridge". It's a make ahead recipe using oatmeal and yogurt. That would be something already made up and easy to grab

Switch to raw nuts

I'll admit it bugs me too. I'm working as hard as I possible can and on the machine next to me is someone in street clothes not breaking a sweat - arrrggghhhh.

In the past when children were overweight, it was typical for the medical community to say to let them grow into their weight. This is no longer the case as today's kids are prediabetic, have high blood lipids, and other harmful medical conditions. It's up to you as her parent to help her to live a more active lifestyle…

have you tried the shoe slips? It's an elasticized piece that fits around your favorite shoe. I've even seen them at the checkout line at Wal-Mart

Laura80111.....I have a friend who is an attorney for a state agency so she doesn't make a lot of money. She works for Home Instead on the weekends for extra cash. She had no experience.

I have hit a weight loss plateau but I also must admit that I have not been doing enough cardio in between my strength training. My monthy weigh-in at the gym is this Friday so I'm hoping a little effort before then will make a difference.

Olympic medal winners do not shower before accepting their medals!

I go after I work out and my hair is damp and pulled back (which looks really bad on me). So far I haven't run into anyone I know while looking like that....but now I probably will since I mentioned it!

and....what really bothers me these day is the number of typos in books. Are there no longer proof readers at publishing companies? It's not just in bad books but even in books by well known authors. I just read a Salman Rushdie book with a misspelled word and Janet Evanovich books contain so many errors it's hard to get…

July was a good month and I look forward to August! My goals for the month- *Sit in the sun for a few minutes several days a week to boost my vitamin D (not easy for a pale woman) *Push myself at the gym *Add more exercise at home

I weigh every day and record once a month

I really, really have this problem too and what is working for me right now is taking digestive enzymes after every meal( you can get them anywhere- I've gotten them at GNC and Krogers) and probiotics ( which you already take). A lot of the other things that have been suggested do not work for me. I eat a very high fiber…
