I've always been overweight... turns out I have hypothyroidism. I also was brought up that you eat everything on your plate and if offered food it is rude to turn it down... then I started learning to cook from various regions around the world and I damaged my body too much in the military to the point that I can't run or…

I am not trying to be condescending when I say this... You have to take accountability for what you eat and how much you exercise. It doesn't matter if your friends post pictures of food. If you want something that is shown in the picture, find a healthier version of it to help maintain your caloric intake or work it off.…

If it is such a dilemma, don't make your diary visible to said individual or to the community at large. Always remember you will get someone's two cents whether you want it or not. As for sharing information, if you make it publicly available, what is the problem with someone actually messaging about it? Sorry, the younger…

It's unclear if people were arguing, however an answer is nice for others that may be experiencing similar issues. Even if the question is a few years old. I found it via an internet search as my doctor was pretty much blowing off the symptoms. To be clear, it looks like my problem with the blue lips post exercise was from…

Hey, I looked up symptoms today on webMD, of the items listed, the most probable cause that is easy to address on your own is a B12 vitamin deficiency... apparently you need it to make red blood cells which are responsible for ferrying oxygen about your body. Also you may be low on iron intake. Try taking a daily vitamin…

My friend has been telling me that my lips keep doing this, they tingle while they do this, but when I asked my doctor about it, I just got a brush off. I figured it was an issue with oxygen absorption during and post workout. I should probably check into it again. -_-

Generally they want you to eat 1200 net calories a day minimum for safe and healthy weight loss. Some days I am under and it yells at me, but it is usually due to exercise or I had a veggie craving day. Oh, the net calories is your consumption minus what you've burned. Good luck. If you are sticking to your diet and…

Good gods ladies! This idea of a general weight fitting all body types of a given height and age is ridiculous. First of all, when I was thin, my aunt and I who are the same height, however I am built more like a line backer with hips any Latina would be proud of, my aunt on the other hand is built like a swimmer... rail…

Tape and take it light on the offending appendages and then do the wrist and ankle strengthening routines to help prevent re-injury. My wrists and ankles are double jointed, I also used to compete in TKD when I was younger and less broken. The good ol' army saw to the end of that fun. Well, my suggestions are what I've…

If you are relatively physically fit, take a tumbling class with adults if you can find one. The last time I got a flat stomach was from doing tumbling... don't do it if you have a back injury.... highly not suggested. The next best thing would be pilates or advanced yoga?

2-4 times a month... I try for about once a week, but I don't own a scale anymore... the one I had was having technical difficulties where it had me gaining and losing between 20 and 40 pounds in a day which was ridiculous. LOL, it met a timely demise as the neighborhood offering to the free junk pile. I go to the student…

You can enter your recipes into the food log for personal use, or even make the recipe public. For personal use, you just put in what you used to make the meal and then how many people it serves and how much you ate of it. It will save it to your recipe section for re-use later.

I've lost an average of 2 lbs/ week over the last 30 days eating 1530 net calories a day (I am 5'11" and 260 lbs). I've done the 900 calorie diet before and it just throws you into starvation mode making it harder to lose the weight. For me on a daily basis my body uses roughly 2500 calories just for metabolic processes…

You lost weight, be glad of that. I've hypothyroidism, so I saw no improvement until I was put on levithyroxine. Generally you are supposed to get a check up from a physician prior to exercising to ensure you don't damage your body. You may be eating too little for your body or not exercising enough or you have a health…

Changing diet and exercise can affect your mensus, if you are sexually active, I suggest getting a pregnancy test just to be safe. If it is negative, then it is likely due to your change in activity and diet.

LOL, or a spam bot set up by one.

No picture is posted, but here is a potentially useful link for you to answer your own question: http://www.muscleandstrength.com/articles/body-types-ectomorph-mesomorph-endomorph.html

As a general rule, I don't like the taste of Greek Yogurt, that being said, I've tried several brands of it and come to the conclusion that the Dannon Oikos Greek Yogurt is doable. Chobani tasted too much like sour cream that it seemed like I should be putting it on stroganoff or in borsch, not eating it with fruit or for…

Don't forget to log it... if you are drinking a glass of the wine at 8 oz, it should have between 180-200 calories in it... It isn't that big of a deal calorie wise. Just keep plugging along on the road through weight loss.

Ask your doctor to be safe. There are a bunch of things that could affect your period - stress, health problems, exercise, etc. At the least verify it isn't a health problem.

After you've logged each day in May, check in with your physician to see about any dieting and exercise changes you plan on doing. I ended up having a thyroid problem, which I found after I was seeing no results which was disheartening. I am not suggesting this is the same for you, merely that it is beneficial to stop in…

Generally, people you are always around won't notice the difference as they see you frequently. The people that will notice are those that you've not seen for a while. Your family will eventually notice, especially during swimsuit season.

The only potential problem you may encounter is a fallen arch... I had this problem at basic (US ARMY) and it happens every now and again when I do high impact activities without listening to my body... You just need arch support or wraps to prevent this and pay attention to your body. If anyone knows it, you should.

I take the One a Day Energy around lunch time. I can't take it in morning due to my thyroid meds, but it seems to keep me more alert in the afternoons. I also cut down the amount of sugar and that seems to help... no sugar high or crash. :drinker:

I have many things on my bookshelf, however as I am a student, I am currently reading "Water flow in soils" and a variety of other similar books. I am waiting for a break so I can pick up one of my Laurell K Hamilton books again, and a classmate gave me a copy of 'The hobbit'.

Just as a note, I was recently tested for hypothyroidism for not getting results my TSH was 21.4, when a few years ago it was at 4.5 which was well within normal. I've been having increasing problems with the symptoms though for the better part of a decade now. Apparently mine just needed to start slow and over the past…

The custom bra -_-

I suggest finding an activity that you enjoy and is engaging... for instance, I enjoy archery, geocaching, biking, and gaming... I live in North Dakota, so I haven't been able to bike or geocache for what seems like ages, however in some places I can see grass. :drinker: Right back to topic. I ended up purchasing DDR pads…

I have three favorites for Kinect: Kinect Adventures - Reflex Ridge Your Shape Fitness Evolved 2012 Fruit Ninja I also have Dance Masters, but I really could do without the random pictures. I also play DDR and DDR Universe 1-3 with the dance pads. You don't have to dance with those though, more like stomp the arrows into…
