  • Glad that you clarified your point - it makes much more sense now! I definitely agree with you that excessive water intake for weight loss methods such as water fasting is definitely dangerous - but my reasoning differs because usually the problems of this type of "dietary plan" are related to the lack of glucose intake…

  • Just curious - what types of problems do you see from "overdoing water"? As far as I know, if you don't have any medical problems like diabetes, chronic heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, hypertension, kidney failure, etc. it would be incredibly difficult to "overdo" water. I guess the only issue would…

  • Like everyone has been saying already - plenty of water (or if you don't like water plain like me, water with MIO, crystal lite or other flavoring added.) If I feel hungry I usually try to drink a glass of water first and wait a few minutes before I decide if I am really hungry. Also consider if you are actually hungry or…

    in Quest bar? Comment by MegsLeaBrown August 2013
  • If you can't throw it out, can it be relocated? Just pick it all up and put it out of your eye sight at least, like in a break room cupboard or another corner of the room??

    in Sick and tired of protein... any advice? Comment by MegsLeaBrown August 2013
  • I ABSOLUTELY HATE protein shakes... and my husband was insisting that I increase my protein intake. So I tried QUEST BARS instead. They are great! They are gluten free, have lots of fiber and at least 20g of protein per bar. They are good for something quick on the go after a work out or you can use them for breakfast like…

  • I Also use the Youtube videos for help with new makeup ideas as well, but the girl who's tutorials I follow is different. She goes by XSparkage (http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEZufuEDQi-bHovN37Ra2EA) and she does a lot of really fun stuff!
    in Ladies, MUST HAVES in your make up bag? Comment by MegsLeaBrown July 2013
  • 3 Things NEVER leave my makeup bag : 1) Mascara (I like waterproof mabelline full and soft in very black) 2) Eyelash curler (its a random one I bought at walmart lol) 3) Eyebrow pencil!! (I use a mabelline pencil in blonde/light brown - always choose a pencil colour one shade lighter than your hair, or if you are really…

  • That is great! Giving yourself until November should be enough time :)
    in Calling all short ladies! Comment by MegsLeaBrown July 2013
  • Since you are already within the normal BMI (22.9) range at your current weight of 120-125lb and height at 5'2" I would say it might take a bit longer for you to drop another 10lb. But for your comparison I am 5'4" I lost the first 10lb within in about 5 weeks from when I started to make changes. So I would say give…

  • I would caution you that loosing weight too quickly may actually put you at risk of Gallstones and Cholecystitis. So just be sure that you aren't loosing too quickly!! Great job on your Hb A1C by the way!! :)
    in Looking to lose 10-15 pounds a month Comment by MegsLeaBrown May 2013
  • Muscle cramps could be from your electrolytes being out of balance. Make sure you are getting enough potassium in your day. I have problems with low potassium so I use "Half Salt" (which is a product that contains 1/2 sodium chloride 1/2 potassium chloride) to cook with. If you can't find that you can always get "no salt"…
