  • I tried it and was hungry! I felt like I was eating carbs all day too! I like special k products, but couldn't handle it.
  • Please use this website when considering choosing: www.rateadrug.com It has so much information put on it by users of all kinds of medications. People rate it and their side effects to it. I started out on Ortho-tricyclin-Lo (combo pill). I loved it, but it ended up not shutting down my ovaries, and made a giant, but…
  • Thank you all so much for your feedback. You have helped a ton w/info on what works for you and what will help me attain more protein. I like the idea of the rice protein for no GMO's and easier to break down. I didn't know that was available! I don't want to take soy due to the risk that it may affect pregnancy hormones.…
  • My husband surprised me on my 30th b-day this last September. It was learning how to trapeze. Amazing experience!
  • Gonna add to the B list: beans baked potatoes banana bread w/chocolate chips bangers & mash Barbeque anything Baskin Robins beef stew bell peppers bing cherries birthday cake biscotti black olives bread sticks brie cheese broccoli--I know, but I actually love it esp. from our garden bruschetta butter--any kind butterfingers
  • you're wearing a black dress
  • It also helps if you are a chronic migraine sufferer. I took magnesium supplements once a day which decreased my hormonal migraines from TOM!
  • I love anywhere in Sedona! West fork is beautiful when the colors change over to fall. I usually love the more secluded hikes in Sedona, but that one is awesome in fall!
  • This may sound silly, but have you ever tried wiggling your toes every once in a while? Think about how much movement your toes are getting while you're on the elliptical especially for 45 min...they're kind of falling asleep. I used to take cycling classes that lasted for an hour and our instructor would tell us to wiggle…
  • Yummy! thanks!:smile:
  • From Hi-Health: Ultraplan Women's multivitamin for Women Mega potency. I take 1 in the morning and 1 at lunch. I love it & I'm sensitive to things in medicine/vitamins. http://shop.hihealth.com/Ultimate-Plusreg-Mega-Potency-for-Women-180-tabs-P5236.aspx
  • totally normal :drinker: It's the hormones...
  • yum!!!! thanks for sharing!:smile:
  • You can have a food allergy to pineapple, but other than that it's an excellent fruit for you & I feel bad that she can't have delicious pineapple! It is one of the cleanest as in least amount of pesticides. I once had an allergic reaction to pre-cut pineapple from Fresh and Easy (which had come from Malaysia). I broke out…
  • Hi, I do yoga at a yoga studio about 5 times a week. I sweat like crazy, but I know that I'm not getting a full "cardio" workout. I think it really depends on what kind of yoga you're doing. I believe I'm getting the lower end of my cardio (for heartrate) because it kicks my butt some days. On MFP, under exercise I type in…
  • Hi, When we lived in an apt. with a patio we did square foot gardening...there are awesome books & resources out there to do this type of gardening. Now we just got a house and are in the process of transplanting our square foot garden into the ground! Here's a great website to buy heirloom seeds (not-genetically modified)…
  • Yes keep eating fruit! I posed this same question when I first started. I decided that I would take my total sugar and subtract the natural sugars from it and that was my "real" sugar total. Just don't go overboard with the serving size with fruits because it can affect your body i.e. glycemic index, how you metabolize…
  • Hi, I know our bodies have a stopping weight when we're eating healthy and taking care of ourselves. It's the point at which your body doesn't want you to lose any more weight. (obviously that would be different if we weren't taking care of ourselves). I am also 5'2" and I'm not sure how low my weight can get to while…
  • Hi, I totally give in to chocolate cravings in moderation, especially if I'm under my calorie goal & it's not going to push my stats way up. Right now since it's hot (I live in AZ--just hit 115 today) I saw sugar free fudgsicles on sale at the grocery store! Just had one tonight & it was amazing! The serving size is 2…
  • Last year to start my healthy lifestyle, I started a colon cleanse. To me it was a way to start over with my eating habits and clean out my system which I had never done before. I was recommended one by a friend whose father was battling colon cancer. She continues to do it about once a year and it really helped out her…
  • Hi, I am always over in sugars and have posted about this before asking the same questions. What I would do is take your total sugar that you had for the day then subtract any natural sugars from it like fruits, milk, honey, etc. Then you will get your "real" sugar total. The only downside to eating way too much natural…
  • Try Kashi Go Lean Protein Cereal. I used to eat the Kashi Go Lean Crunch...but it's really high in sugar & calories compared to the protein one. Plus the cereal has as much protein in it as an egg! I get mine at Target of all places because it's cheaper there then in our grocery stores in AZ. It's great on its own, but I…
  • thanks for sharing! just checked out the website & it looks awesome!!
  • Do you have a refrigerator? If so, stock that up with foods you like that will last a while. Ask if you can have a crock pot...you can make really good & healthy recipes in it and then put them in the fridge for leftovers.
  • Hi, I tried starting P90x Lean over the summer, wasn't seeing results, but I also was traveling too & couldn't do it while traveling. I only got through 60 days of it. I wasn't on MFP yet while I was doing this, so I believe I was overeating. I had an ovarian cyst, so had to stop working out for about a month. This gave me…
  • HI, I take a women's vitamin supplement from Hi-health that I love and have never been sick from. It's made by Ultra Plan (the hi-health brand). On the bottle it says Sustained Release, Ultimate-plus, Multiv-Vitamin for Women, Mega-potency plus energy & Women's support complexes. I have a sensitive stomach too, and have…
  • Trying doing them on your knees first so you can build up to doing them off your knees. Doing them on your knees helps out a ton & it makes you feel like you can tackle push ups a lot easier :smile:
