these shoes freak me out. I just can't imagine putting that much material between my toes and be comfortable. Don't you feel like your toes are stretched far apart? Maybe it's just me because I have really tiny toes, so these wouldn't fit me at all

restaurant salads are sometimes worse than real meals! It's crazy!

I did phentermine for 1 month. I lost 12lbs during that month without diet and exercise. I wasn't jittery and I felt great. I loved this stuff! BUT....after the month had ended and i got off of it, I gained all 12 lbs back within a few weeks and MORE! So look out!

When I do Zumba, my HRM says differently almost everyday! So I would recommend you get a HRM for it. But if you are wanting to go by MFP's standards, I'd log it in under dancing.

Agreed on this HRM. I have the Polar FT4 as well, and very happy with it!

Yes, you need one with a chest strap to accurately calculate your calories burned. It gets a constant reading of your HR the whole time. If you get one without the chest strap, you will be so disappointed! It's very inaccurate because it only bases your burned calories on when you stop and touch the face of the watch. The…

thanks!! bumpy!

I just finished the 3-week cardio kickstart program on Active2, and will be starting the 9 week program soon. I discovered side arm planks during yoga class, but it wasn't a bent arm. I had to balance up on my hand. It's more tough that way! But the advice someone gave me during yoga helped me get my hips off of the floor.…

make sure it was a FULL PANEL. most doctors only test for TSH. You need to have TSH, T4 and T3 tested. Get a copy of your lab results and make sure you are good!

Thanks! :) My advice to anyone that is on synthetic thyroid medication and are still suffering from hypothyroid-related symptoms really need to find a doctor that will prescribe an all natural thyroid medication! Most doctors WILL NOT do it! So keep hunting for the one that will. I was diagnosed about 5 or 6 years ago and…

I've only tried it once and was completely grossed out. It was bitter and thick. NASTY!

Hmm.....maybe not? :(

I do not own a pair, but I've thought about buying them. I recently read some articles of them getting sued from hip and back injuries from wearing the shoes too much, so I've kind of been weary of them. They seem pretty overpriced for just some extra rubber on the bottom of the shoes.

I binge on nuts too. When I look at the serving for only 10 almonds, I'm like "how in the hell is that a snack?!" I was thinking more like 50! lol

I don't plan my meals out, but after breakfast, I grab the snack that I will be eating in between breakfast and lunch. And then when it's time for lunch, I plan it right then. Then I grab the snack that I will be eating that afternoon. I guess my snacks are the only thing that is planned since I'll be taking it with me.…

FINALLY started 30 Day Shred today - Yay! Level 1, Day 1. It was rough in certain spots, but it was definitely do-able. I definitely felt a lot of burning in some places. Luckily it's only 20 mins! lol starting measurements: butt - 41.75 tummy - 35.5 thigh - 24.75 upper arm - 11.75

Oh now I know what I'm going to use my 20% BB&B coupon for! A slicer!

I would love to figure out how to do this with my diet. It's really tough when I can only have 1200 calories a day. Turning that into 5-6 small meals is so difficult. I ended up eating just snacks throughout the day and didn't really get much nutrition out of it. For example, I just ate a 100-calorie pack of crackers as my…

I'm with Linda. I love my Polar FT4! But I haven't had any problems with the strap. I found the strap to be very comfortable and moves with your body. I wear it right under my sports bra, and it feels like the bottom band of my sports bra, so I really don't notice it. I love that it calculates my calories burned based on…

Oh yeah?! I have a Central Market a couple blocks down the road. I'll check that out this evening. Thanks!

bumping for a new day. would like to hear what some others have to say.

Thanks! I'll definitely look into the prenatal aisle and see what I can find. I do have some B-complex vitamins that I take in addition to a multi. Though, I really am not sure if it's enough. I really don't know how much of it i would need. I looked around on the internet and found a list of stuff to look for in adrenal…

can't wait for my dvd to come in! I'm gonna hunt down a good deal on some hand weights.

Now that's dedication!

I ordered 30DS yesterday, so I'll be joining in a little late. I'll start as soon as it arrives! Can't wait to ***** about every muscle pain in existence!

Weights before cardio. Cardio will make you too tired to push and give it your all for weights. I do about 7-10 minutes of warmup cardio before I do weights. Just so my HR is up for the strength training. Then go back to your full cardio workout after you are done with weights.

I have this same exact issue. It's not the laces or how tight your shoes are. I've even done the elliptical barefoot..yes, i did....still the same thing. Also wore very loose clothing and no panties. It starts in the toes and spreads through your feet. Before you know it, you can't feel if you are stepping down or not. I…

I just ordered this today! So I'm sure I'll start it by then!
