I'm thinking it wasn't the "milkiness" that caused the problem, it was the lack of calories. Plus losing 7lbs in a week is waaay too much unless you are morbidly obese. I suppose if you have to drink one on the go here and there, sure. But it's not sustainable, as others have said. Plus, there's much better tasting food…

Congrats! Be proud, it's a finish! I want to work my way up to a 10k, I've done several 5ks now but need to improve my efficiency and mileage. Kudos, and enjoy it for the accomplishment it is!

I like when my veins showed up. Let me know I was heading in the right direction! I worry when they go away!

I do both. I have a gym membership, because they have treadmills, classes and a pool. The pool is most important to me, because I like to swim laps a few times a week. Since I started running I don't go to the gym as often as I used to because I'd rather be outside. I have dumbbells at home but can see where once I outgrow…

No, it's not. I know the old timers insist that ALL medications must be avoided, but depression is a medical condition, and for some that includes psychotropic medications. To shun his antidepressant would be equivalent to skipping his blood pressure medication. OP, while I think you could phrase your feelings a bit better…

I don't have a big-breasted problem, I'm quite the opposite actually, but I'm wondering if strength training on the back and pectoral muscles might help support them? That and really good quality bras. I have a friend with this problem. I'd talk to the doctor if it's causing discomfort.

Are you still taking this while in maintenence? That isn't what it was intended for, nor is it supposed to be taken without a doctor's supervision. It's a stimulant that needs to be monitored and isn't meant for long term use.

I got choked up when a song came on in spinning class. Fortunately they turn out the lights and it was loud in there, so no one saw me. I did have trouble breathing though. I tripped once on my step during a step aerobics class. I was in the front of the class.

I can't even.... I'd love to know what herbal teas from china someone can take to make CANCER go away.

Yea, don't do that. There is no reason to eat so few calories. It's not sustainable. Your body needs nourishment! OP, whatever you choose, make sure it's something you can stick with. You can't resume old eating habits and think the weight will stay off.

From a google search it looks like the ingredient in this tea that causes "weight loss" is Senna, which is a laxative. So all of the posts above that talk about the risks of taking laxatives are completely accurate and called for. If you're not constipated, there is no reason to take a laxative. If you feel bloated, talk…

There's also no medical proof that you won't be allergic to penicillin, or you'll develop a food allergy, or that you'll have some freak accident and get hit by a car driven by a clown on the lam from the police and die tomorrow. The odds are in your favor here. The vaccines are safe, and on top of it, you get the perk of…

What does medical errors have to do with vaccines? Medical errors are in reference to administering the wrong medication, or amputating the wrong limb, that kinda stuff. I have a friend who had polio as a child from living in an orphanage in India where vaccines were not available. The lasting affects of the illness are…

Why? OP didn't indicate that he has celiac.

"All natural" does not mean safe. There are plenty of "all natural" products that can do damage. They can interact with medications you already take. Caffeine has side effects. Senna or other laxative pills can lead to worse problems down the road with your digestive track. "Natural" supplements aren't very well studied,…

Find a therapist trained in Cognitive Behavioral therapy. What you are describing is binge eating, not addiction. CBT will help you to identify your distorted thinking patterns and modify them, while also modifying your behavioral responses to these thoughts. The key to successful therapy is finding a therapist who you…

She likes to draw controversy by making videos talking about celebrities weight gain and health habits, always coming back to "all of this could be fixed with a raw vegan diet, btw buy my book raw until 4 blah blah blah". It's a shame so many people listen to her.

I found my cat adding some shakeology to her water bowl this morning. Should I be concerned?

OP, you're a male, right? (your profile pictures make me think you are). Be grateful for that, it's much more acceptable for a man to shave his head than a woman. My mother has alopecia-age related, and is humiliated by the look of her hair. And she hates her wig. My husband is losing his hair, but he's got a nice shaped…

I had knee pain about six months in when I started running longer distances at a time (as opposed to intervals on a treadmill like you've been doing). I went to PT and was told to strength my hip flexors (think clam shell exercise-I can't describe it but google it) and hip hikes. And stretching-running can really tighten…

If it worked, (and maybe you said this already) why do you have to lose weight again? I would think it must not have worked that well then? I suppose your plan could work if you are mindful of portion sizes. It seemed possibly low on veggies? They are a great way to increase the volume of what you eat without all the…

Actually, it proves much more than your anectodal evidence. Unless you yourself are a doctor. Although my friend who truly has celiac disease, verified by biopsy of her intestine, thanks people who have "gluten intolerance" for the improved variety of foods in the grocery store that she can eat.

She's talking about eating AFTER. I don't see why not, there is nothing wrong with eating later in the evening despite the old wives' tales about "don't eat after 6pm" etc. I understand not wanting to go to bed on a full stomach, but something light and well rounded won't hurt.

I carry on, it's just another day. Like others said, it can help with the symptoms.

There's a beachbody coach on my facebook feed who posts those "I love my shakeo" pictures all the time. Every couple of weeks she'll then post a "back on track, I'm unstoppable!" post, basically indicating that she's fallen off the wagon. After the last one, I wanted to ask her how that shakeology was working for her since…

Actually, ADHD is a mental illness, listed in the DSM V (yes, the US uses this book too) as one of the neurodevelopmental disorders. Symptoms might lessen in severity as people age, but it's there whether you like it or not. And diet isn't necessarily going to change that. From the DSM-V "The ADHD diagnosis in previous…

You posted in a public forum, and received cynicism. This is natural, people typically do not like generalizations without evidence. Feeling a "rush" from the vitamins (really?) that someone supposedly won't get from eating, or vague "everything is better" endorsements aren't proof. It's not hate. If you want people to…

Yea, I enjoy masticating my own food, no machine needed. There's nothing magical about juicing.

Where is your source for this? Gluten affects MOST people? Please provide us with some studies that verify this claim.
