I'll join! I'm shorter than you and weigh more, so it's been interesting. I decided to add Insanity to my normal workout regimine, instead of doing it as a standalone workout. I only did 3 days last week, because I was very tired from the cumulative efforts of Insanity plus other stuff. Two days so far this week, and I'm…

Mild laxative to clear up this episode. Going forward, try adding a little more fat and eating greens lightly cooked in a little liquid. Like spinach, collard greens, kale, etc, lightly cooked in vegetable broth. You will eat much more in one sitting than you would eating it raw, the calories aren't horrible, and the extra…

Being the DD is an automatic pass. They should thank you.

Story of my life for the past 10 years. In fact, I'm struggling with this some now. Zyprexa was one of the worse, but I've had plenty of others too.

Wellbutrin was not a good match for…

Group exercise classes are awesome for so many reasons! I was a group fitness instructor for several years, and plan to go back to teaching as soon as I deal with other issues unrelated to the classes themselves. I started off taking Body Pump and I weighed about 270 lbs. My gym switched from Les Mills to the BTS programs…

Hi, I've had (and still have a little) horrible hives for the past few weeks. I went to the doctor, who just told me that it happens sometimes for no reason really, or stress, or seasonal allergies, whatever, and to take Benadryl or Atarax, which is a prescription antihistimine. While I haven't been able to determine the…

Hello. Things that help me are: 1) Give myself a reasonable and acceptable range of calories to eat for the day. Sometimes I do better, sometimes worse, sometimes much worse. But it keeps things in perspective. The daily calorie goal set my MFP is a stretch for me, and I know that I will not meet it most days. I also…
