Hello! I went off hormones this year and got the copper IUD put in. And let me tell you...there was a BIG change. For years I couldn't figure out why, when I worked so hard and ate so well, nothinghappend! no muscle gain...no weight loss NADA. I've lost about 4 lbs since coming off hormones (not a ton but for me that's a…

I've had 3 people tell me I look skinny in the last month :)

i do sometimes, but then i remind myself that if i dont eat enough, i'll just gain fat.

Hello! I'm almost 5'1, weigh around 117-120 and I'm 36-26.5-36 I've also got a 19-20% body fat. I'm working on toning up more and getting down to 110 :)

Only way to truly know what you burn is to get a heart rate monitor. i love mine!

in my experience with using food for self medicating, it feels fine at first but in the end...it makes everything worse. the guilt, the negative self talk of "why did you do that" blah blah you know the drill. I suggest, getting out out of the house. Book at the coffee shop, go visit a friend, take in a movie or whatever…

i take it back! the one pic i saw she looks wayyyy skinny but in these ^^ she looks great:)

hi there. i got my IUD in february. I've got the paragard so it's a lot different with side effects but the insertion is the same....no kids here either and the doc didnt give me anything to dilate me. and man it hurt. a lot. BUT the pain only lasted around 5 sec. just take deep breaths and try to relax (it helps) and i'm…

i hope for her sake she did really do it the healthy way and that she knows when to maintain. in my opinion she looks a little scary skinny...

everyone is different. you're body might just need more time to self regulate. after i went off the pill i didn't get my period for 6 months. now i'm on a non hormone IUD and i have all the "real" PMS symptoms you just described. But in my opinion it's better to not have hormones for as long as we have (i was on the pill…

Oatmeal is generally mushy but I enjoy mine more when I add less water (to make it crunchier) and with some raisins in it it's great. i also love cinnamon in my oatmeal which helps regulate blood sugar.

hahhahah love this. nice joke.

i think high heels kill your feet at any weight....

I got a fun test done at my gym where they put on a mask and made me work out. It gave me my base rate and top rate that I want to stay under to not burn sugar. I think that it's sooo different for everyone that you should consider getting a test like that done and an online calculator won't be as accurate.

Hey! I'd suggest getting a different kind of body fat test if that's what you're using as your goal. At my gym they test it with calipers which is more accurate than the height/weight but less accurate than a water dunk. Those you can find at a lot of universities. So if there is one in your area you could try giving their…

I usually do only on the weekends because I have my settings at sedentary since I have a desk job. On the weekends I'm moving around constantly instead of sitting for 8 hrs/day so I'll log a little extra if I clean for a long time etc. Otherwise I just track my gym sessions, runs, and if i go for a fast walk. I think it's…

for a salad dressing that isnt full of preservatives and other gross chemicals: http://www.marzetti.com/products/marzetti/product.php?bc=45&cid= very delicious too

ps and there were 66g of carbs in the one i looked at. yikes!

i would suggest if you don't already, make you're own food. some of the "diet" foods have really high sugar amounts. Like Healthy choice have like 14g! that's a ton.

hell yah! good work

I'd maybe look at the amount of sugar that you're consuming. Some lean cuisines or other microwaveable lunches have more sugar than a snickers bar. (!!!) Also you might need more calories it doesn't seem like very many. I used to under eat on accident because i didnt know how many i needed to eat back after working out.…

don't know if anyone suggested this but if you belong to a gym the PT's get a discount code for HRM from Polar. Ask them about it. I got my FT7 for 60 bucks instead of 120...

that happened to me when i was under eating. like WAY under eating. i've heard that prenatal vitamins help

hey! me and all my friends are on the same track as you. 5'1 116 lbs and trying to get to 110

High intensity interval training. I think it works best on cardio machines and if you google it you can find sample workouts.

all great suggestions! thanks everyone.

wow! great job!

the only thing that interferes with fat burn is alcohol. your body stops burning fat until it gets all that out of it's system... sad huh?

Have you tried La Croix Pamplemousse? It's the ONLY sparkling water i like. its yummy!

very high in protein too
