Break the painkiller in half and then slowly eat some ice cream while the pill is taking effect. I have a really hard time with pain killers and have had a TON of dental problems. Lukewarm soups or yogurt set on the counter to warm up a little are good too, but ice cream is way better ;)

I was on it for the full five years and was probably the thinnest I've ever been in my life. I ate right and exercised a few times each week and weighed about 135lbs at 5'7". I did have secondary infertility after taking it our though. I can't say for sure it was the mirena, but I got pregnant with my first child within…

I take it, it was a last straw for me too. For months I worked out 5x a week ate at a calorie deficit, tried the TDEE minus 20%......nothing. I went to the doctor and he ran a ton of tests also, but everything came back fine. We picked through my diet, routines and drinking (which was none at the time). Finally he asked if…

WOW. I take it just about every single day, which I know isn't great. I have bee doing everything right but have a very slow weight loss (like .5 lbs every other week) and huge weight fluctuations even after cutting out almost all salt and other things known to cause this. I'll cut out the pain meds and see what happens!

Agreed. Go ahead and eat them because I don't want any. Thanks for keeping us medical folks in business! I love the pay ;)

This. I have a 6 year old in sports, she is in the 95th percentile for hieght and wieght, but is very slim and muscular. Yes, she could burn off the calories from junk all day long, but if she continues to keep those habits into adulthood she will gain weight like most previous althetes. Also, I wouldn't keep that kind of…

I also wanted to add that I bought about 20 glass dishes that hold 2 cups of food from the dollar store, they are food grade so I feel comfortable microwaving in them instead of using plastic to store and heat food, but that's a personal preference.

Meal prep! That's number one. You can make a big batch of stuff and seperate it into yours, his and kids. I am a full time nursing student, with a husband that works 60+ hours each week and kid who's a competative athlete and active in her school activities too.Plus I go the gym and host some activites and volunteer at the…

I have a daughter who is turnin 7 in a few weeks, she used to be a little chunky. Once it got to the point of having to buy jeans too long just to fit her waist I knew it was getting out of control. She is now 62 lbs and does gymnastics and competative cheerleading, she is all muscle and an amazing tumbler. This is what we…

If you put the dressing in the bottom, protein and hard veggies and then greens last it's ok. You do have to pack in in a little, that way your protein (chicken, tofu, beans, etc) block the dressing and soak some of it up. I do try to keep them as upright as possible during travel just in case, but so far, so good!

I will be shopping and prepping on Monday because I go back to nursing classes on Tuesday and have a husband and a 6 year old to take care of. I'm excited to start! I'm planning to make soups, salads-in-a-jar and veggie burgers for lunches. Breakfasts will be egg while cups with a slice of lunch meat (other things don't…

I'm still doing my pre-reqs for nursing, but I have a husband and a 6 year old so meal prep is the key! I try to make up a bunch of salad-in-a-jars, egg whites with a slice of lunch meat, I always wash my veggies as soon as I get home so they are ready to grab and go, chop up veggies to throw together wraps, pre-make…

Salads in a jar! I'm loving these for on the go health right now :) Dressing on the bottom veggies and protein in the middle and greens on top, prep them so you can really grab and go. If you need ideas for low carb salads just google "low carb salad in a jar"

Nope :)

I'm buying new breasts when I go into maintenance. Also, a new wardrobe including sexy bras and panties. Once my tummy is flat I want to pierce my belly button :) Along the way, my reward is a cute new outfit for the gym everytime I drop a size....LMS

I'd love to join!

I haven't been able to this yet, but my reward is to buy cute new workout clothes. Just one or two outfits each size until i reach my goal weight, then I'll get a few nice workout outfits. As soon as i finish my CNA course for nursing school i plan to treat both my husband and I to a gait test and nice new running shoes. I…

I have both. The nutribullet blends greens and things like chia seeds beautifully, the ninja does not.

Amazing! I think im going to give p90x a try when the gym fills up, which its already beginning

I'm on school break and just back from delicious vacation in sin city so im hoping to hit the gym Monday-Saturday. I'm also trying to substitute some coffee with green tea.

I eat mostly 'plant strong' and hit the gym most days. It's actually really hard to hit calorie goals doing that. I have literally eaten my husband's cake/snacks to keep up b/c I understand we need X amount of calories. I do always hit my nutrition goals easily for the record and I've never felt better or had skin that…

Just over 2000 calories! Feeling good about that. I ate all I wanted, problem for me was that apparently my stomach has shrunk so I could only fit so much. I also did 90 minutes of Zumba this morning to earn it, but I thought I'd eat a lot more.

I lost my 14 month old daughter October 19th to a malignant brain tumor. It did not come suddenly, and I don't know if it gets any easier, but my heart goes out to you.

I'm a SAHM and student. I have just gotten back into the swing of eating clean and exercising in the past few weeks and would love to have some friends to add! I have about 60 lbs or so to lose. Once I get closer and see how I look I'll figure out an exact LT goal. My current short term goal is to lose 10+ pounds before…

Hi! I'm new here. Here is my check-in fr Wednesday November 20th Did you stay within your nutritional goals? yes Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? yes What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? Worked on catching up with school work (Iknow, not fitness related but it made me happy :) What would I have done…
