I have in the past taken a B-complex vitamin supplement, and that seemed to help a little bit. They kind of make you gag though, because they have that very vitamin-y smell and taste to them. Good luck!

I have been running for a couple of months now, after about a year off.... I have not had any problems until the last couple of weeks. I have developed shin splints. I don't feel like I have changed anything, but obviously something is different. Any ideas of what I can do to get past this and continue to run? Running is…

I have finally started to lose! I have lost 5lbs!!! I know it doesn't seem like much, but it's been hard to do it the healthy way this time. I've always done the 'quit eating' diet before.

I have been on depo for about 7 years now, and I absolutely LOVE it! I know a lot of people gain weight on it, but I was fortunate enough to not have that side effect. BUT....I just had a physical yesterday, and my doctor told me that depo contributes to bone loss. So, if any of you have been on it for a while, like I…

Thank you :happy:

Has anyone used alli? What results did you get from it? I'm trying to decide whether or not to try it, and my sister wants to use it as well. I am, of course, skeptical of any claims they have on their website. Just lookin' for a little feedback. Thanks :smile:

I am with you! Today one of our employees from another office brought in a bunch of HUGE caramel rolls and cinnamon rolls with the yummy frosting. I ate oatmeal. It sucks, but at least I am not sitting here at my desk trying to plan a workout that will burn the 1500 calories I just ate. I just think quietly to myself "a…

Just remember, you have to start somewhere! I started running a couple of years ago,and I couldn't even run for 30seconds without feeling like I wanted to die. I worked my way up to running for an hour straight in a matter of a couple of months! Do what you can, and don't give up! And, like all the others have said, who…

Or, Papa Murphy's de lite pizzas.... I would just have separate pizzas, or even meals all together, then you're sure to stay within your calorie limit, and he's happy as well!

I don't have one yet, but I found one on REI.com. It's a Timex Sport personal heart rate monitor. It's got all of the features that I would need it for. $69.95.

I have tried working out in the morning, but I find that my workouts aren't as good.... I get up at 4:30am as it is, and getting up any earlier is just too much for me. I work out right after work before doing anything else. That seems to work ok for me. I get a more productive workout from it.

Yay for Minnesota......except for the weather today....

If you keep on top of eating your healthy snacks so that you don't get so hungry, it helps. As for the co-workers bringing in pastries, my company provides donuts or bagels and cream cheese every friday. My trick for myself is that I just tell everyone that I hate donuts. This way, if I go grab one, everyone will give me a…

I also have had a disappointing week. I don't know what the deal is...I have been working out and burning about 550 calories per workout. I am having some problems with eating all of my calories though, so maybe that's my problem. SW: 150 CW:152 We'll all do better next week - I can feel it!!!

I would like to know what kind of monitor you have as well. I have been looking at them recently and if you could recommend a brand, or tell us what brand you have, that would be great!

Doing well so far :smile:

It's hard, but keep your chin up. You have to talk nice to yourself or you're not going to stick with it. We're all here for the same reason....to lose weight! Good luck :flowerforyou:

Count me in too! I need to be held accountable for a goal! We're going to Lake of the Woods over 4th of July...I don't want to be the fattest girl there again! Today = 150 Goal by July = 125-130

I just ordered some, I just got it and started using it today. I'll let you know if it works or not....and if there are any issues with the billing/customer service.

When I first started doing Taebo, I had a hard time as well. Now I'm addicted! I sometimes do 2-hour long workouts in a row. Keep up the good work, you'll get there in no time :smile:
