thats interesting. i havent heard of anyone else that has IBS issues during her TOM. I usually do too. And now that you mention about stress, I think thats what my problem is right now! I was wondering what my deal is because I havent been eating anything out of the ordinary. Thanks for the tips :o)

I know this is an old post but i thought i would resurrect it instead of starting my own.... I just started Yaz and was worried that I would gain weight while on it. In fact that is one reason why i started MFP. I wanted to make sure if I did gain it wasnt just because I was eating more. So far I have actually lost 5lbs…

omg thats so funny you say that. i battle with that all the time. thats why so far i only do the exercises my fiance has showed me how to do at the gym. i am mortified of looking dumb like i am using a machine wrong or something. If I swallowed my pride i guess I could ask someone how to use it. But then i dont want any…

yes yes and yes. I have had it since i was little. Genetic I think. I havent really pinpointed specific foods besides if I eat too many sweets at one time or too much fruit. Also for some reason EVERY time I eat at Claim Jumper, I have to run to the bathroom as soon as I get home. Its pretty bad. I know that generally…

my experience was slightly different because i was still a teenager but for 3 straight years i had a very regular 30 day cycle, then i started swimming everyday on the team and actually went 5 months without a period. finally my body figured it out and settled down again in a cycle.

yogurt with some -healthy- granola in it is also delicious and filling

omg party in the usa by miley cyrus for sure. i loved it and started singing along when i heard it first and then almost gagged when i found out who it was.

i have the same problem a lot of times. lately i have taken a small/regular portion, and then put away the food completely so i am less likely to get up and refill my plate. when i am done with that much i will drink some water and sit for a minute. the majority of the time i do not even feel as hungry after doing that.…

I totally agree. Thats also why we try to mix up our exercise with fun activities like tennis, hiking, swimming, etc. That way we wont get bored with the gym.

Hm. that actually does make sense. Thanks... :o)

thanks! yeah thats the plan. I dont want to fall into bad habits especially because people keep joking about all the weight we will gain once we get into married life. Yikes!!

Haha, my digital one does the same thing. It is very frustrating. It gives me a different reading if its on the tile, on the rug or on the wood floor. Normally 1 or 2 lbs difference. But my mom says it is always the same for her. Who knows.

Yeah thats true. I wanted to be more fit and if this is what my body is telling me what it wants to do, then so be it! I told my fiance he's got 2 options: chunky me with full boobs OR fit me with smaller boobs. Guess he cant have everything. Haha

Because I didnt have a ton of weight to lose in the first place, everything else seems to fit ok except a few pairs of pants and some skirts that are looser. I am normally a 32DD but i havent checked in a few months... so i guess we will see!

I went on a hike the other day and apparently burned about 800 calories. I wasnt expecting that but it certainly was nice! At the gym the elliptical is where I burn the most calories. About 100+ every 10 minutes. Its easier than running on the treadmill because it doesnt hurt your knees, so I feel like i can go much longer…

congratulations that is so amazing. i bet you are so excited about your guy too. that just makes everything even more awesome. keep it up

congratulations on signing up for a 10k. that is a big step. if you set little goals for yourself and work up the amount of running/walking you do slowly, you shouldnt have many problems. i am a terrible runner and i was able to finish one. i made up my own regimen by running three or four times a week. i started out…

my jaw literally dropped. that is amazing. congratulations on your acheivement

hahahaha that made me laugh. i would love to do that to someone

Oh yes I was wondering the same thing the other day. I did it before hand but I dont know if thats right.

Thats so awesome congratulations! (I'll admit I was curious to know how losing track of your nephew fit into a success story, but know i get it!) Keep up the great work!

I actually agree on that one. It is very frustrating when I decline a certain food, or extra helping of food (which might be very difficult and take a lot of self-control) and they undermine my decision saying that I dont have to worry about my weight. Even if other people see me as a healthy weight, I can tell when my…

I love working out the day of an event especially if I know Im going to meet new people. For some reason it makes me feel good about myself and more confident. I just make sure that I give myself at least 2 or 3 hours to cool down before I have to go anywhere

Thanks guys. Yeah Im willing to try it out :o) Seems like everyone here is pretty warm anyway so that makes it easier.
