It's Splenda

I used to suffer from panic attacks, too. A couple of things: *Eliminate caffine altogether - it can trigger them * Do intensive cardio (sweat) 45-60 minutes a day You do both of these things and it will help tremendously. I never get them anymore.

I'm a perfect example of this. Yes, I have gotten muscle and toned up a bit but I have not dropped ANY weight. I have been running 3-4 tims a week for nearly six months (training for 1/2 marathon). However, if I stick to 1200 calories and don't exercsie I can't drop 1-2 lbs a week. it' sucks!

I love the raw unsalted almonds - Trader Joes sell them in 200 calorie packets. They're great for a snack or light meal. Trader Joes also has the terrific Mediterranean Cheese Style yogurt that is extremley low in sugar. A couple of tablespoons with some organic berries is fantastic!

I did something similar for my first 10k. What I will say is that if you stick with the program it will work! It took me 2 months of training but I ran my first 10K in June. Soon after, I started on a 1/2 marthon training program with a local running group. It's been 11 weeks and I'm running up to 9 miles! I never thought…

Your body will adjust after a few weeks. I used to get them every time I began running. After a while they dissappeared altogether.

Rent a bike and ride down the lake front. Walk EVERYWHERE. Chicago is awesome - plus you can get tons of exercise in to make up for all the yummy food.

I would get an exercise ball and check out some yoga/pilates DVDs. There's some core work that you can still do. You probably could also do some biking. If you continue with basic strength training and keep your calories at a minium you should be fine.

The stations integrate the cardio (step, running, biking) with strength training so my heart rate is up at 150 nearly the whole time. That's the key. I wore a heart rate monitor and I burn tons. Haven't done that with just weight lifting alone.

[[Funny that you asked this today. The first couple times I did over 5 miles, I nearly died. I was DONE for the day! Today was my longest run ever and I feel good. Now, I DID take about an hour nap after I ate lunch :wink: but I am SHOCKED at how great/energetic/not sore I feel now. I was going to take tomorrow off, but…

I just ran 8.2 miles this morning for a 1/2 marathon training run and I'm wiped! Is anybody else here training and do they get really tired after those long runs?

www.mapmyrun.com May have something like it.

You know, I don't care what doctors say that once your levels are fine you can lose weight. I swear, it is HARDER even if you are taking your synthroid (or whatever). If you haven't already, I would invest in a HR Monitor (one that wraps around the chest) to see how much you actually burn. I was surprised because I was…

Wow that's incredible! Good for you!
-
Totally! I throw everything on a cookie sheet and sprinklerolive oil with pepper and salt. It's always good. (I would defrost the BS first, though)
-
Almond butter is better for you and it kinda tasts the same. I've switched over to it and I enjoy it.
-
I hear you. I was completely depressed, put on weight and wanted to sleep all the time. Told my doctor to test me for hypothyroid. She didn't want to because I didn't have a goiter on my throat. Whatever. After much discussion she finally relented only to call me two weeks later to say I was severly hypothyroid and I…

How healthy are your co-workers? My guess is not very. Sounds like they're uncomfortable and a bit scared. Misery loves company. Keep on doing it. I wouldn 't be surprised if some of them eventually start asking you for nutrition advice.

Strength training mixed with cardio or "Circuit Training" is an awesome way to build muscle and and lose weight. It lasts an hour and I burn about 600 calories. I'm 5.4 and 160lbs.:happy:
