Purple wrist!

^^^This

I took Alli and this is a known side affect of fat blockers. (I'm not sure of what you're taking but it sounds the same). Anyway, it was very uncomfortable and I didn't see enough of a change to make it worth it. http://www.livestrong.com/article/189792-fat-blocker-side-effects/

I have a cheat meal/day on Saturdays, but I still keep myself in check. Most days I still wont go over my calories, but if I do I've built up enough of a deficit to make up for it. I think it's nice to have something to look forward to. I don't binge out on McDonalds and I'm still not eating processed food or soda but for…

UGH! I'd much rather see boobs then the duckface.

Not at all, they have HFCS in the bread.

That's cool! I'm definitely not ready to specialize, and I lean away from behavior therapies, I think they are amazing for a lot of things but it's definitely not my forte.

I'm iffy on PsyDs. I've looked at the programs but I'm not thrilled with a lot of the curriculum. I'm definitely planning to get my doctorate though!

All my department peeps are the same they all graduated from the U of M (its a closed circuit at this school) and I'm just looking for other perspectives.

Word.

I would think that would be true with weight training. From what I know you are supposed to have 2 rest days in between each muscle group. But I don't think it matters with cardio

How long have you been on MFP? A while...a couple years? Just now starting to have success How many calories a day do you eat without exercise calories? 14-1500 ish Do you eat your exercise calories? sometimes (I stagger my calories)

It is probably the minerals interacting with your pots and pans. If you see a film on them and they are stainless steel, pick up some bar keepers friend and clean them once a week with that and that will get rid of the residue.

Thank you! I skimmed them but I'll go over more in depth tonight. I'm being a little bad and playing on here when I should be studying. But I'll be back with questions I'm sure.

Can I join? Is this where I post? I'm a little confused I've never been part of a group.

Fangirl here! I want to play!

These are some great ideas guys. Thank you!

I log it as circuit training.

I tore my ACL a few years back and I understand, it was the worst, I could barely do anything, I had a hard time doing anything. I would suggest anything in the pool, even if you are just walking laps, doing balance ball stuff, shadow boxing. Mostly though I'm going to say try and get into the water, I know its hard to put…

I go to UMN so I guess I'm obliged to say the Gophers.

No, big disappointment.

I think there's a huge stigma on anyone who is trying to lose weight or be more fit. Someone is always going to be there to tell you not to. Seeing someone go from being very heavy to not heavy can be a shock and others may not know how to process it. What's important is that you're eating enough (at least 1200) calories…

Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman

Wow, you are such an inspiration! Congratulations! Your hard work has definitely paid off.

As harsh as this may sound, it may be time for new friends. No one needs people like that in their lives.

I don't know if your office offers it, but it couldn't hurt to ask, I used to work at a place where you could ask them to put in an adjustable desk so that you can make high enough to stand or sit. It's great, because standing is much better than sitting. Otherwise I also knew a bunch of people who sat on balance balls…

I like to have my meals planned so that I always know when I'm going to eat next (this includes snacks). I keep things like grapes and pretzels around so if I do have a need for a quick snack, I have stuff available from both sweet and salty catagories. As for when I have really bad cravings for something, I make sure to…

Cheeseburger!

I like mine and so does my sister, ours have lasted quite a long time. I actually prefer it over the GPS, mainly because I like to run with my nano as opposed to my iphone. Give it a try, I think it's worth it.

I would maybe see another doctor. You should get a second opinion just to make sure - no matter how good your doctor is. Also, is it possible you're tearing internally or externally a little bit?
