  • I take a pre-natal vitamin (although I'm not TTC or anything) plus fish oil. I feel a lot better on days I take them. I think it's the iron that really helps.
  • Firstly, what are you going to have to cook with? I just finished my first year of college and I had to eat at the caf. All I had in the dorm was a microwave. So will you have a kitchen to use or will it be mostly at the dining center?
  • It depends on your age, if your fairly young (think 30 or below) your skin is still elastic and will adjust to your body. Although, the stretch marks won't go away until you surgically remove them or maybe try one of those OTC products.
  • We don't have classes at school. It's kinda sad :( I wish we were bigger like the state school and then we would maybe have those amenities.
  • I think you're talking about donating (or selling in many cases) plasma. Some people just don't handle blood donation well. It's a combination of their body, but also some people have the mind set that something will go wrong - and then they have a physiological reaction such as passing out or vomiting. Then the cycle…
  • Thanks for the input so far guys! Our nursing instructors are split on the issue. Some swear that it makes weight loss difficult and others say it has no side effects. I've been on Seasonique for 3 years now, so I don't think its an issue of my body getting used to it. The hard thing about my diet isn't watching my…
  • It's also important to note that exercise alone will not reverse the insulin resistance. Diet is also key. As stated previously, carbohydrates are really going to need to be watched closely. You can't only do one or the other to maintain or reverse the effects of type II, a combination of diet and exercise are a necessity!…

  • I'm in college currently and have had pressure from parents to switch from Nursing to Pre-Med, but haven't. My advice is don't do a job unless you love it. Sooo many people go into nursing thinking the pay is good and there will always be a job. I think that nursing is the type of job that if you don't go in loving it, you…
  • I do it every other day, but on the off days I do c25k. Sadly, I feel like the c25k was/is easier! For now atleast! (I'm in week 1 of both)
  • I shredded for the first time today. I'm rotating every other day between the shred and c25k. I was soooooo tired after L1D1, I assumed it would be challenging, but not overly difficult. My original plan was to do the shred every day and c25k every other. But there is no way I could do them both in one day! Best of luck to…
  • I recently sold my horse because I came to college. I showed Hunters and Equitation. I was a very long shot Maclay hopeful. Sadly, I've aged out so I couldn't try for it again if I wanted to. I had a beautiful 16.3h TB mare who was a veteran on the show circuit, she is now living a semi-retired life just being a horse…
  • Thanks a lot guys! I'll take some of your tips and try them out! To the person wondering about my height, I'm 5'1
  • I do the "weight loss" option and its a 28 minute workout with a 5 minute cool down. Last time I burnt 321 calories. When I started I would only burn 270ish. I love using this machine! I also supplement it with weight lifting. Arms and Legs are alternated every other day and I do abs every day. I've lost weight, but seeing…
