His cortisol levels came back normal. He did have a high creatinine level though. He has stopped taking creatinine powder a few days before the test thinking that may have been the culprit. He is pretty much secluded as we live in Germany, he doesn't go anywhere but the gym on base, so he can't get steroids. He stated he…

He is 22 and has been body building since he was 16. He can lift over 200 pounds. He feels he can no longer take off his shirt and I feel sorry for him. I took him to the doctor so that they can run tests to make sure it isn't due to hormones. He weighs 235 lb and is 6'1''.

Thank you so much for all of your responses. I really appreciate it. It did sound too good to be true. I think increasing exercises and just watching what we eat especially increasing fruits, veggies, and protein is the way to go. Thank you again. If anyone has any additional ideas, I would love to hear them.

My favorite is mango, so fresh and juicy, however, it's messy but I don't mind. Those of you that love oatmeal, chop mangoes into your oatmeal and if you like, coconut flakes. You never will need or miss the sugar. I love Alaskan King Crab and Snow Crabs dipped in unsalted butter but only as a treat.

Hi, I'm Lydia. I find that it is not always easy to eat healthy when you have family members that tempt you. I did do clean eating for one month before and lost some weight. Then my college son moved back, and you know, the weight came back. So now I am set to eat healthy, lose weight, and end the nightly heartburn…

I have been gone for awhile myself. Something must have been in the air! Oh, I know, winter. You are right, spring finally arrived and we went to the woods, hiking with my 2 sons and dog, for over 2 hrs. Then I walked my dog again a couple of hours later. She is sleeping! I guess I tired her out! I am sore and will be…

I am glad you are back. I have been going to the gym weight lifting 3 times a week. I also went on a 3 hr bike trip with Max 12, while Cory 21 and Zoey (dog) jogged beside us. We were tired when we got back an hour after sundown so it was real dark and no lights on our bikes. I couldn't sit without pain for a couple of…

I think all of us are in the same predicament. We get busy with what is necessary in life and our exercising takes the fall. I too have let it slide. We are trying to do 2 months of homework in 1 1/2 months and that is hard to do. We did finish one month and starting the next. Everything has to be done by Sept 17 as we fly…

We are feeling that autumn has come to Germany. We have had cool weather and rain for 2 weeks and no sign of stopping. I did loads of ironing today, something I hate. Although listening to the Glee music made it tolerable. Usually I watch Harry Potter or some other show I have memorized so it is just listening that I do.…

I like cucumbers with buttermilk and radishes. Salt and pepper added, of course. It is cool and refreshing with Calcium and Vit D.

I have gone to the gym and lifted weights. I have also listened to music while walking so that my mind is on other things. You can write your feelings down using word pad, libre office, or whatever program you computer has. That way only you can read them. You can always talk things through with all of us. All of us have…

Sandy, So proud that you were able to skip the ice cream. If it's a flavor I love, I would have a problem. Darlene, you can exercise at home and not wear any shoes. I usually don't wear them indoors when I do DVDs. DJ, For a crack on your heel, use one of the tools that get rid of hard skin. I have several that I use. Then…

I have read that weighing in should be done in the morning before you eat or drink anything but after you have gone to the bathroom. I usually weigh myself daily but not always.

Metamucil or the generic equivalent works wonder and you should take it at least once a day. It lowers your cholesterol, increases fiber, and of course helps with bowel movements. I gave it to my BFF and husband and it has also lowered their cholesterol levels and made bathroom time faster and easier. If taken before every…

These are the places I measure so that I see a change downward more often. Neck, upper bust (above the boobs), bust, rib cage (below bust), waist, abdomen, hips, upper, middle, and lower thighs, calves, upper arms, and deltoids. This way I can see changes more easily and not get so discouraged. Sometimes you lose inches…

Dorothy, I am glad everyone is able to resist temptation! I also have been good for the past 4 days. I actually don't have any more heartburn. It usually goes away if I watch what I eat. DJ. Sorry to hear about the wasp sting! When Max was little there was this enormous yellow jacket wasp under his bed covers! It stung him…

Here is a true story that my son wrote that I thought all of you would get a kick out of! You wouldn't believe what happened today? I just had to write you and tell you this funny adventure Mom had today. Waking up a little late because we were all up late last night watching Rules of Engagement and How I Met Your Mother…

Today I started the 3-Day Refresh from Beachbody. I wasn't hungry at all today and had enough energy to do Turbo Jam. I will keep you informed how it goes these next couple of days. People are supposed to lose 3 pounds and some around the waist. If anyone wants anything from Beachbody, I am a coach there and can help you…

It's a shame I don't live by you or you by me. Here in Germany, in my neighborhood are lots of dogs. We have had around 7 dogs walking together at the same time most days. Isn't there anyone in your neighborhood that also walks their dog. It is a great way to meet people from your neighborhood. Before I got my dog, I just…

It's funny that you want to lose the same amount of weight in 2 months. I wish us both the best and hope we succeed. I am starting Max in school again on Thursday since his friends are starting then. Hopefully, we get 2 months of schooling in before vacation as well. Going to try to do Math and Spelling everyday and 6 days…

I also have been in 2 different Ultimate Challenges with MFP. They seem to just want you to check in with: Did you exercise 20 min? Did you log in everything you ate and drank? Did you stay within your budget? What is your weight. They really don't have the conversations and caring that I have found with this group. I love…

Hi, I'm Lydia, 52, and I live in Germany close to the Netherland border. I love reading and watching TV. I am also a pretty good cook. Married 28 yrs to Ken who works for NATO. He loves to play tennis. We have 3 wonderful sons together and one dog. Zachary is attending Colorado School of Mines, has a BS in Physics…

I love to cook as well and my son asked for chocolate chips cookies. He asked, "What did you put into them to make them so good?' I said love. I made oatmeal cookies for myself using only 1/2 stick butter and applesauce. They are really soft and have about 365 calories for 3 or there about. I put chocolate covered raisins…

Well, migraine or no, I still did Turbo Jam 20 min. and Ab Jam 20 min. and took my dog for her evening walk. My migraine ended up going away! I don't understand how it happened but am glad it did. I am glad people like the daily logs. If everyone writes only on it, we shouldn't have to look at the other sites. It really is…

Sandy, The reason I am in Germany is that my husband works on the AWACs and is now a NATO civilian. We have been almost where ever they are or at least he has. My son, Cory, lives in Altamonte Springs and goes to school in Winter Park, about 20 min. north of Orlando. For homeschooling, Calvert sends lesson manuals so all I…

My goal is to go from a size 14 to a size 12. I would also love to get rid of my stomach!! I bet that is everyone's wish.:love: I have kept all the clothes that I loved from when I was skinnier and would really love to be able to wear them again. I don't know about all of you but I hate having pictures taken. They always…

I just finished reading your 4 pages of discussion and think this is the best group ever! I am a 52 mom of 3 boys. Zachary is studying at Colorado School of Mines. He has a BS in Physics engineering and working on his Masters in Computer Science. Cory is studying Film at Full Sail in Florida. My youngest, Max, is 12 and is…

I too have a dog and no backyard. We have to go for walks no matter the weather. When it is hot, I go early in the day and then again later in the evening. My dog is a Norwegian Buhund so she also prefers cool weather. I take a bottle of ice water and a small bowl and she lets me know when she wants some. It's so cute!! I…

I have Turbo Jam, Slim in 6, and Rockin Body and I can never decide which one to really do for the 4 weeks. I keep going from one to the other. I will keep trying though.

Yes, I have the strawberry and chocolate vegan one. I live in Germany and if anyone needs it that lives over here, they can let me know. I am going to be having it everyday as well. Did you download the calendar for them with the recipes. I have 3 of them but really haven't tried them yet, but I should.
