  • That's awesome! I am about a week into it and it's so hard! I told myself I wouldn't weigh in for the entire month of March. I am still staring at the scale every time I walk into my bathroom and I hate how tempting it is... I suppose I really should just hide it or put it somewhere, but part of me wants to get over the…
  • I have a few friends who LOVE the Nike Training Club app, which puts together workouts based on time and your goal (strength, cardio, toning, or specific body area), and keeps track of your progress. It sounds like you have all the equipment you need to start. I haven't tried it yet, just got as far as downloading the app,…
  • Not sure what CAPE is, but I usually go to the CHEA convention here in California every year, and I LOVE it! Gives me the motivation and focus I need, because inevitably, it always seems that right around summer, I start questioning whether I should continue homeschooling, if I'm doing enough/too much in certain areas, and…
  • I feel your pain girl, so sorry! My levels were borderline hypothyroid for years, and my endo didn't think it was necessary to start hormone replacement therapy. To be honest, I didn't want to start either as all I've heard is that you'll be on it forever. (I rarely ever take any meds, not even tylenol) So I tried…
  • Love your post! As someone with zero movement on the scale over the past few months but seeing differences in the mirror, it's hard hearing people brag about weight loss week after week (and I would be too if it were me, I'm not hating on anyone here!) But this is exactly the kind of thing I needed to read today. Thank you…
  • Very interested in trying this method. My scale has been stuck for 8 weeks (actually much longer but that's how long I've been tracking it on here), despite exercising 4-5 days per week doing TRX/Riptrainer, C25K, kickboxing and cardio, and staying within the recommended 1200 calorie range. I've lost 2% body fat over 2…
  • ^^I agree with you that googling information can lead you to scare stories, but the side effects I stated weren't from the internet- I experienced them all firsthand. I think that taking a doctor's recommendation at face value can also be unwise. Typically doctors aren't given all of the information about a product (not…
  • If a yoga mat won't stay put, what about one of those hard plastic pads with spikes that you put under desks for chairs to roll on? I have 2 in my home office, and they don't budge. I bet that would work!
  • Please, please, please consider taking your Mirena IUD out!! Do your research, look online for Mirena side effects, go to the forums and facebook pages put together just for this reason. I can't emphasize how much I wish I had removed mine before the major problems started. I plan on posting my story in a blog soon, but…
  • Wow, I totally found the RIGHT post to click on first- I can sooo relate! I was in my sister's wedding last year, and even though I had a year to get ready, I wasn't focused and ended up gaining weight. (This was partially due to a medical issue that was undiagnosed at the time, but I won't pretend I was really trying to…
