we all need a break now and then ; )

I know even doing the wii fit hula hoop activity (no actual hoop involved!) is a killer cardio workout, AND I totally feel it in my abs the next day. I would imagine the weighted hoops would add even more to the challenge,

You seem to really be READY! That is the most important step. With total commitment, you can realistically be off all meds w/in a year! I am a nutritionist and nurse and would love to help you!- Michelle

I was wondering the same thing! This place is all about SUPPORT, people!!!

oh wow. I couldn't believe it when I saw this post. I (did) have a prolactinoma, and your description sooo closely mimics my experience. I, too, was always thin... had 3 kids, lost all the weight after each one and then suddenly and quickly started packing on pounds with no real explanation. Friend me and I will be able to…

For some reason, the bigger the vessel, the better I do. Find a container you are comfortable chugging out of. I use a wide mouthed pint sized reusable bottle, and when drinking from this I seem to have no problem drinking about 10 (8oz) servings. Once you get used to drinking this quantity of water it is no longer a…

I am pretty sure that IS illegal!!! I have three kids and each one of them has had at least one male daycare provider. I always welcomed the opportunity to have a positive male role model in their lives. I think your brother should talk directly to the owner.

the above is simply not factual!!! Please do not report things as facts unless you have an actual knowledge on the subject matter! Thank you!!!

that is not high at all. 2g Sodium is considered a medically low sodium diet. Your daily totals may be looking quite low because many of the entries in the database on here don't include sodium.

good for you!!! I love how you broke that down, so true! However in this case, decimals/fractions are totally worth mentioning!!! I think this should be viewed as a milestone right this minute!!!! You are officially under 300 pounds!!!!!!

Extra Virgin Coconut Oil is by far the healthiest oil for you. Contrary to popular belief, saturated fats (coconut oil) are most recognized and utilized by the human body as energy. Coconut oil contains medium chain fatty acids which can very easily be converted to energy.

whoa!!! this chick is dumpster diving for coupons... now that is taking it too far!!!

Wow! Ok, weights, it is!!!!

South Jersey here :)

if you rightclick on the pic and select "open image in new tab" you can see the whole thing! and yes, I see a difference :)

that is excellent! keep up the good work!

Cinnamon is a very effective blood sugar stabilizer, which indirectly can be helpful with weightloss.

nah, not offended at all. I would kinda expect them to be wearing something gymish :)

oh my goodness! I am dealing with this same thing!!! Especially after a big workout.... like 2-3 hours later it kicks in. Nothing warms me up! I try and explain it to people as being cold from the inside out. I am a nurse and I have no logical explanation for this! It is not like I have lost so much weight that I have lost…

good for you!!! the end is in site :) must feel great!!!

Hi! Nurse with craaaaazy schedule here! And patients/families who show their love with food! lol

me!!! I work two back to back 18 hr shifts as my main workweek and then pick up random shifts as I can. Makes it rough. Planning is key!!! I pack and log everything the night before. The other obstacle is avoiding all the treats my patients try and feed me!

i never really get sore from cardio, even when I just started out and was reeeeally out of shape! It's the weight training that really tears down and rebuilds the muscle, which is where the soreness comes in.

i also tend to log the lower one so as not to over estimate, buuuut, I think the HR monitor is probably more accurate because if yours is like mine it is more customized to your particular situation than the machine is, and it is taking into consideration your heartrate over the entire exercise time. I have heard that the…

mmmm... I love both. will have to try this! Thanks

I'm kinda in the same boat right now... I've been doing alright with chicken noodle soup and toast. Just ease yourself back to your former plan.

You brought a tear to my eye. I am going through a rough time right now and found this inspirational. Thank You! I wish you the best!!!

Yes! I have.... beware however that this company is a MLM or pyramid scheme... but the products are great. Very nutritionally sound and tastes great.

Its usually only available around Christmas in stores, but I love love love it so much I ordered it in bulk from Amazon: Celestrial Seasonings Nutcracker Sweet! its just perfect!
