Same thing happens to me when running or exercising. Using the Neti-pot for nasal lavage has helped a lot. I used to take Sudafed, but it revved my heart rate up too much but it worked really well.

My experience has been that, I needed to make sure my levels are normal and likely will need to check more frequently to get to a good level. Compliance plays a major role - take the pill(levothyroxine) with a glass of water and wait 30 minutes before you eat anything for proper absorption. I have been taking the pill for…

Could be your blood glucose level is going too low compared to what you are used to. Eat a snack that agrees with your body and your run about an hour before your run and see if that makes a difference. Other possibilities could be that you have post-nasal or sinus issues, neti-pot to clean all that out may help. You may…

This is great advice, I was going to recommend the professional help part also. A licensed mental health professional can help OP sort out where the disconnect is.

I agree with blackcoffeeandcherrypie. This is all about control & manipulation.

I love my Vitamix and have my breakfast from there. 15 almonds; 3 dates; 1 frozen banana; handful of frozen strawberries & blueberries and a tablespoon of chia seeds. I add in 3/4 cup of water and the vitamix does the rest. Have been drinking/eating this for a few years.

Make a big batch and freeze in to-go cups, that way you can grab and go in the morning, especially when you are running late. Also, make the night before the nutrient loss will be minimal. Either way, you don't wake up the house.

I am diagnosed with fatty liver and there can be a number of causes including: alcohol, high cholesterol (not just from eating but liver producing it), medications, etc., etc. First thing is to see if you have any medications that are metabolized by the liver and change that medication. Then cut down on alcohol or…

You may want to try Spanx Compression T's and shorts, pricey though. Also, pick-up Body-Glide, it works wonders to avoid chafing. Angelina's suggestion is a great one to start.

I'm in. Current weight: 193 11/30/16 weight: 183.

I agree with Rissa. I did 2 rounds of insanity and towards the end of round 2, I hurt my wrist and could not put any weight on it. I took 2 weeks off and completed afterwards. You may want to ease back by doing a couple of core cardio and balance and pure cardio workouts to get back. After you feel you are somewhat back on…

There is a number of ways to address: Keep your activity level @ sedentary and eat back all of your exercise cals (if you have entered goals into mfp then it should have built in the deficit already - suggest by C$4RL05), the other suggested by OP, eating a portion of exercise cals back. I do the first one, for me it is…

Hi Esther - Congratulations on making it through the first 2 weeks, the toughest transition. As far as weight loss, keep at it. It could be a number of things, when you start your muscles may be retaining more water and it may take time to loose weight. Consider measuring yourself, I lost inches even though the scale did…

If you already have both of them, why not do a trial with both of them for 2-3 weeks. I have done two rounds of insanity, so can only speak about that. For the first month, it is 3 workouts plus 1 recovery repeated over for the month, I am sure p90x has a similar schedule. Once, you have exposure to both then you can…

Update 11-9-12: Here's what you do: SW: 198 lbs CW: 184.6 GW: 179.6 Weigh in Dates: 11/1 - 184.6 11/9 - 183.4 11/15 11/22 11/31 Need to continue at this rate to achieve goal.

Hey - Nice work getting through week 1 and starting week 2. I did 2 rounds of insanity and the most important thing was to fuel yourself the day before and after workouts. I had a protein smoothie immediately after workout and a lot of water throughout the day, in addition to eating all of the calories burned for the…

Let's assume that your sister sugar coated and try to convey the same thing - do you think it would have had the same impact? Change in behavior is so difficult to come about that at times, it does require something blatant or traumatic. My blatant/traumatic moment came when my mother told me, that my entire body was puffy…

Thanks for doing this, I am in: Here's what you do: SW: 198 lbs CW: 184.6 GW: 179.6 Weigh in Dates: 11/1 - 184.6 11/8 11/15 11/22 11/31 Total weight lost: ~ 13-14 lbs as of 11/1.

I have a polar FT-7 that works really well. Before getting the polar FT-7, Amazon had sent me a women's polar ft-40 by accident, that was good too.

First - Did you feel a flutter or any type of stress during the workout? If you did then you need to get a medical opinion and get an EKG done. The other more likely possibility is that you need to change the batteries for the HRM.

To address your questions: There is no hard timetables, basically it will take you 126 days to get through the program instead of 63, no big deal, especially you are doing all the other things listed. Another item to consider is that during month 1, the workouts are about 35-40 minutes with 1 going close to an hour. Month…

I visited my family in April 2012 and mother called me a few days later. She called me and gave me an earful. She told me that my uncles who are in their 70s look better than I do (I am 37), she mentioned that I was puffy everywhere and if I dont take care of myself, no one else will. She also said that if I dont have my…

Agree with MissDov. I have been on meds for >7 years. We have a hormone deficiency which regulates metabolism, I am not aware of any other treatments (supplements, etc) except prescription meds that will replace the hormone. You may want to check out other forums on mfp for support and counseling as there is an active…

You got it, you want to puff it out like your are sprinting on 1 leg. I find that if I focus on exhaling, inhaling happens automatically. I did run out of breath a few times and had to stop, but that does not happen anymore. The long deep breaths work well for me during warm-up, cool down and during recovery, for the…

Cologne, maximum is 2 sprays.

Blood test from your doctor would test for this. He or she would also do a hemoglobin, hematocrit and other items. Hemoglobin is the indicator for anemia while ferritin and TSAT are for iron. Good luck!!!

I started round 2 of insanity, 2 weeks after finishing round 1. I liked the structure and familiarity. My body was going through withdrawal, craving for the work-outs. I thought I would breeze through month 1, BOY WAS I WRONG, it was tough. Started month 2 yesterday and I was in tears by the end. After this round, I will…

Biggest concern with excessive oral iron is constipation. Nausea is also common. What is the reason for the additional iron? Are you anemic? Have you checked your ferritin and Transferrin Saturation (TSAT) levels? Check out the fact sheet from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), a lot of it does not pertain but…

I am going through a similar thing, separated waiting to be divorced. 2 kids, though not living with me. Suggestions made to me by others: Join a meet-up group, find a support group in your area plenty of them around, do things you enjoy, learn to be comfortable in your own skin and volunteer. It's like riding a bike, it…

I am on my second round of insanity. I was pretty unfit before starting round 1. Took me about 2 weeks to get all the moves right and I was sore for the first week. By the middle of week 2, I was good to go. I really like the structure of insanity and the results, so I decided to do round 2, still pretty tough as you are…
