I've been getting bad shin splints too. Both my legs are bad, but my left is considerably worse. I've heard that the more you run the less painful your shin splints will be. I wasn't able to find much on Google about this either :(j

In the past I've made that exact mistake; oh I'll just starve myself & work out for a month & be thin" but you're right. it doesnt work that way. Every time I want to eat something without checking the calories, or I want to get lazy and eat fast food I just remember "if I force myself to say no today, it will be easier to…

I love walking my little dog! my boyfriend & roommate laugh at me because my dog is so little, but she is FAST, so just trying to keep up with her for 30 minutes is a decent workout for me :)

If you want to join a gym & you will actually go on a regular basis then do it! I was considering joining the Anytime Fitness in my town, but I'm concerned about how much it's going to cost :( I love stationary bikes & treadmills & I'd like somewhere to lift weights, but I can't decide if it's worth the money right now…

i was curious about P90X, because I see so many people who swear by it, but I was watching an ad for it and I honestly cant believe that anyone who isn't already in peak physical condition could possibly enjoy that! also, the training seems so intense that as soon as you stop wouldn't you immediately see your results…

in my experience guys just take it as saying "hey you have a hot wife" This is sort of unrelated, but I was out eating w/ my boyfriend once, and this old man came up next to our booth & he semi-sat down next to my boyfriend, threw his arm over my boyfriends shoulders and said "how'd an ugly guy like you get such a pretty…

it's a good thing that you do feel strongly about it, or else peple might never realize that VLCD's can be that harmful, I'm glad you told me.

I didn't know it had a name! I'm thinking about putting some granola bars or trail mix baggies in my car. I'm such a space cadet in the morning that even if I give myself an extra hour I will still forget something!, so maybe if I have food stuffs in my car I can eat while I'm running errands & whatnot! it's worth a try!!

thanks for the ideas! I bought some breakfast on the go trail mix thingies to eat on the drive to work :)

I am a waitress; if you can find one restaurant that follows federal work laws I will give you a pony! haha! and thank you for the advice! I actually bought some instant oatmeal today! and you're right; it only takes like 3 minutes to make oatmeal! I also got some odwalla superfoods to take to work with me, I can put it in…

oh my gosh, that's horrible!! I had no idea :( I'm sorry that happened to your sister!

I was reading that in cases where people need to lose a lot of weight fast Dr.s have been putting people on very low calorie diets, which is forcing the body into ketosis, that's where the body uses fat to function instead of just using calories. The article I was reading said that ketosis is OK for like 1 month. So I…

if your body is getting too much vitamin A it can be really dangerous. Too much vitamin A in the body can be toxic, it can cause loss in bone density (osteoperosis), liver problems and damage to your nervous system. that's why if you buy OTC vitamins a complete dose only contains 50-75% of your daily value of vitamin A.…

I used to work next door to a subway & I ate there all the time! I love subway, but you hae to be really careful about what you eat there. my go-to sandwich is wheat bread, lettuce, spinach, black olives, pickles, banana peppers, red onions with either ranch or their italian dressing. I never put meat on my subway…

It's really frustrating when servers do that kind of stuff! I'm a server & when a woman at one of my tables says no bread (or croutons, or dressing etc.) & someone else at the table says "oh I'll take hers!" I just don't bring it. last night my boyfriend and I went out to dinner & my server kept trying to push more sour…

I am a waitress at the Cotton Patch Cafe, for those of you who don't know, this restaurant boasts that they specialize in "Texas style cooking" yeah, you can only imagine... chicken friend steak, white gravy, buttery rolls, sweet corn bread, friend chicken tenders etc. for the past 2 weeks I have passed up having lunch at…

this comment just cracked me up :)

PCOS is poly-cystic ovarie syndrome? right? what exactly does that entail? my was sister talking to me about ovarian cysts because she thinks I might have them, but she said most of the time they break up on their own and/or are re-absorbed back into the body... ?
