I would see a dermatologist. Your body can do crazy things at times. I never had acne as a teen but when I got on b.c. pills and then came off them my face was horrible. Went to a dermatologist and she said I had Rosacea. Prescribed Finacea and it has been my wonder-drug. Eventually my skin evened out and I haven't had any…

For all those asking - I'm assuming it's Jillian Michael's DVD 6wk 6pk. It's at Wal-Mart for about $10. I am doing 30-day Shred and want to do 6wk 6pk when I'm done! Jillian is a great motivator and has great routines!

I'm 5'4" and 120 lbs and still have some trouble areas that I need to lose fat - my triceps, and my stomach.... I haven't lost weight in 5 weeks :( So frustrating. I can't imagine not losing for nine months - you must have some major motivation b/c if my scales didn't move for NINE months while working out and eating right…

Me too!!! I hate all kinds of melons.... fake flavored or real. Totally disgusting!

:noway: :sick:

Hahah Totally agree about Jersey Shore.... :noway: IMO it's trash trash trash! Great things to be teaching our kids... but that's enough of my soap box for today :explode: I LOVE the smell of mowed grass b/c it reminds me of spring and warm weather :glasses: I don't like leggings.... many people wear them who shouldn't....…

We do NFP but I don't chart or take temps.. I go by discharge alone which is pretty consistent for me... I can say though.... it's messed with what seems like the length of my ovulation window... Also spotting in between periods... wish I could help ya out!

Thanks!! That's what I have read too... that diet affects hormones a LOT... Definitely a lot to look into and I"m glad you didn't have any more spotting! Thanks!! :flowerforyou:

Hope everything with you is okay! Did you go to the Dr?

Thanks!! :smile:

Thanks for this! Yeah... I know I'm not preg. but it is concerning your Dr. said it probably wasn't working-out... I have a mis-shaped uterus but apart from that I'm perfectly healthy. Had a complete blood panel and physical not too long ago and everything was perfect... Hmmm a lot to think about!

Very interesting! I have in the past ,had streaks of blood in the discharge (SORRY IF TMI!) when I have ovulated before... Thanks for this!

Wow thanks for all the replies! You guys are awesome! I'm not pregnant... I know that for sure. I'll spare you the TMI. :) I was wondering about a polyp.... I have a bicornuate uterus... (shaped like a heart instead of a pear) and it caused a lot of issues during my pregnancy 2 years ago. I'll definitely check w/my doctor!

I hope your okay! Let me know what he says!

Thanks for posting this! I've been on a plateau for FOUR freaking weeks!!!!! I'm trying this starting tomorrow for sure! Do you still workout like usual every day?? I had a friend who recently lost over 80 lbs tell me that once she got on a plateau she would work out every other day instead of every day and it got her out…

My heart goes out to you... although I don't have a sleep disorder... I go to bed at around 12 every night and I eat dinner at around 7 so I STARVE at night. I've heard if you drink skim milk before you go to bed - the protein will stay in your stomach and give your body something to metabolize during your sleep. Also I've…

Yes yes! Today was my second day and it works! I've been doing Slim in 6 for the past 5 weeks and was never sore... I did ONE workout with 30 day shred (level 2 b/c I had some endurance from SI6) and I was sore the next day - my butt and my chest... I LOVE Jillian - she's awesome! Good news is also, the DVDs are only like…

Okay.... all this back and forth about this is driving me nuts and making it difficult for me to understand what I should be doing... there seems to be good data on both sides... I dropped 8 lbs in 2 weeks by eating a calorie restricted diet (roughly 800 to 1000 cals/day) and working out every day for at least 45 minutes…

I just started it yesterday and I plan on doing it every other day along side the Burn it Up (last DVD in the Slim in 6 series) I hope to increase my endurance more. Burn it up is 60 minutes long and so I figure by deviating the endurance/time of my workouts every other day it will keep my body guessing rather than the…

Hey! I was a stick when I got pregnant and I was SO worried I wasn't gaining any weight that I tried to gain.... BIG mistake! I gained over 65 lbs b/c like you mentioned, the later months of pregnancy were where I packed on the weight! Not to mention I was on bed-rest b/c of a uterine deformation I couldn't control... If I…

This is exactly where I am. MFP will not let me go lower than 1200. I'm 120 lbs and very petite frame and 5'4". No matter what I change in the goal section, or weight-loss goal section, how much I exercise or even when I enter no exercise - it NEVER goes below 1200 calories. I've tried changing it for maintenance, 1 lb…

Well obviously I'm not condoning the practice of starvation. As anyone can see I posted healthy food items to focus on and ones to stay away from. I also am aware that people who have struggled w/anorexia also lose parts of themselves that are not intended (as you said, muscle, teeth, organ function, etc.) My point WAS…

Totally agree. I don't delete anyone unless they are vulgar and I haven't had to deal w/that. If they aren't posting - that's on them - I reply to ppl when I can and post where I can... but it's almost like FB - there are some ppl who I don't talk to a lot but I want to keep up with them when they get on to post.

I completely agree! I hardly EVER eat back my exercise calories - the whole point is to create a deficit in your calorie intake in order to lose. I'm sure every body's different ... but I think it's a myth too! Otherwise how do anorexic people become that way - their body's wouldn't let them lose if that's the case!…

My arms, my upper chest - like... I can see my collarbones again! My upper waist is shrinking and my thighs... but my belly (post baby) is gonna be the last to go. My bust can leave anytime it wants to... but that'll be one of the last places :(

Tonight's my husband's cheat meal... and while I don't do well with them... we're doing Mexican. I'm opting for the fajitas and foregoing the tortillas. No queso for me though... I'll have some salsa and a few chips. I worked out today and am trying to keep my calorie intake lower today so tonight wont be 'such' a stretch.

I'm 5'4" and a half so I'll go ahead and answer! It all depends on your bone structure... If you are bigger boned, then a heavier weight would be ideal b/c your bones would weigh more... I'm very small-boned, so my goal is 110-112 (what I was before I had my daughter) I don't think that 125 for your goal weight is bad...…

Haha you're post was almost identical to mine.... :happy:

Carbs carbs carbs! Sugars!

Hmm you could contact a GNC and ask specifically for vegetarian or vegan products... they should be able to help you find some. I am not a strict vegetarian... but gravitate that way... I eat a lot of beans, veggie-products (soy). You didn't mention if you ate eggs... but they offer good protein. Milk is also a great…
