Well, it's been 2 weeks today. I still feel good! The pain on my left ovary has subsided. I had an ultrasound and will find out results in 2 weeks as my dr. went on vacation. I stopped spotting finally and my bloating has gone away completely. My rings feel loose. I have lost 2 lbs. but more importantly, my clothes feel…

It's been 3 days and I am feeling so much better. No real weight loss but so much less bloated, like I said before, comfortable in my own skin. I feel that fog lift and just more like myself. It's crazy how long I let myself feel so yucky. It happened so slowly that I didn't realize my body was feeling that bad. My libido…

Had mine out around 1pm. It's 2:40 and I already feel like a pressure valve went off. Less bloated. My doctor, who I thought was going to put up a fight for me to keep it (he pushed it for so long before I finally accepted), barely asked why. The nurse was not surprised by my symptoms and the whole process took all of 5…

Thanks Chickypoo for updating. I'm glad to hear you are doing well and I hope that is still the case. I finally get mine out tomorrow. I'm going to take measurements like you did just to see. The peace of mind I will feel above all else is what I'm looking forward to the most. Aimbo, how many Mirenas have you had? I will…

For those of you who have had it taken out (long and short term), can you respond to how you're doing now? This Friday, I'm getting mine out. Thanks. I know all the stories are nightmares on line so even if it was a good/fairly reasonable reaction, I'd love to hear it!!!

I had lost 3 and now gained 1. :( Need to find my patience.

I've had it for 3 years now and am strongly considering getting it taken out. I work my butt off and watch what I eat and I just keep gaining and losing the same 2-5 lbs. My worst symptoms are bloatedness, breast tenderness/pain, and facial hair, mostly on chin. Lighter symptoms are mood swings, spotting periodically and…

.5 lb loss for me. I'm guilty of weighing myself everyday. I keep it in check and I'm happy with .5 lb. A loss is a loss. Right?! Great job on your losses! Wow!

I love this idea. My daughter's birthday is August 25th and so, it starts and ends on 2 very special days. I AM going to lose 10 lbs. by Christmas! Wouldn't it be great to show off our new bodies at the holiday parties? Only 4 more days to start creating the BEST Christmas present we can to ourselves!

Thanks! Lifting is so empowering!

Thanks for the advice! Good stuff!

Thanks to both of you! It's all a bit confusing and I definitely need to research more. I'm still maneuvering my way around this website and all the terms.

haha! It makes me laugh when I hear people complain about her! She really can be annoying! I sometimes do the exercises and need to look down and sideways so muting her is not an option in RI 30. I wish! She says "Perfection!" after a lot of different exercises and then gets into her motivational voice and says "it's not…

It is Jillian Michaels. It's a 3-2-1 system. 3 min of strength training, 2 minutes of cardio and 1 min of abs. Each of the strength training moves are done twice, as is true for cardio (ie. 30 sec. of butt kicks, 30 second hops, 30 second butt kicks, 30 sec. hops with no rest in between) It changes every week. (4 weeks…

I actually started Ripped in 30 today. Would it be okay to join in? Holding other people accountable, keeps me in check!

Fantastic book called "The Portion Teller" by Lisa R Young, PhD., R.D. Awesome visuals!
