I started the 24 Day Challenge on Monday, but don't own a scale any more (EVIL INTRUMENTS OF TOURTURE) -but I will keep you posted. A few things that may help - - I tend to be a little ocd - so I ziplocked each of the items that has to be taken on a different day into zip lock baggies and numbered them. - I started the…

Thanks guys :). No no, s.e.x. injury on this one, but it may have been me pressing to stop the cramping. I had some major knots going on yesterday. Guess more stretching and Tiger Balm to stay ahead of this.

Thanks for that question - I noticed the same thing and so when the machine is at 550, the HRM is at 1100.... I'd much rather go with the 1100. :)!

Go HEELS!

To try to digest later... bump.

So, I too had surgery several years ago. I did loose a little weight in the beginning, but have not had the successes that others seem to have had. It is just as much of a committment to making the right choices... continuing to make the right choices. I'm trying again on MFP to be honest about what I am eating and…

I think this is part of the issue that it is a 'syndrome' more than a disease. All my blood work is with in normal ranges and always is. All the 'typical systems' are light or non existent, the biggest issue is just the lack of cycle. I do wonder what else it may be, but where the drs office can only say if it is not…

I am working out 4 - 6 times a week, usually with 45 minutes of cardio and weight training 2x per week. Which is an increase from 2 x per week with a trainer started last February. I have not had any weight loss after 12 weeks with the new program, but am still plugging away. That being said, I did stop drinking diet soda…

Their Tabouli is awesome!

Bump - ditto on the PCOS.

You can try to go get a body wrap if you really think it matters.....

Sometime the battle with life requires that you stop hunker down and just survive. There are points though, that can allow you to see how to get yourself out, make yourself stronger and then win the war. Each day you choose to make a good decision builds you into a better person. Keep looking forward!

Thanks everyone - I was hoping for the funny comments on this! Totally in it for the burn and loving it!

I have blond hair, so just know that if you have any hair that is on the light side, the treatment may not get rid of those. I had a total of 10 underarm treatments and still have to shave some. Much better than before, but not 100%.

The other things that may be causing some of the problems are if you drastically dropped your sugar intake or caffeine intake. Both would cause the withdrawals symptoms that you are mentioning. That being said, keep your protein intake high and be between the 1400 and 1600 calories and you will be fine!

My favoite recipe is to take a small package of tuna, 1/2 cup of cottage cheese and about 1/2 cup of fresh salsa and mix. My friends usually turn up their nose until they try it..... very yummy.

Not for me, b:smile: t I have been such a life-long yo-yo dieter that eating less than won't work. You can do that for a short period and not have an impact to your rate of weight loss, but after a while you will slow down your metabolism - which will cause you to plateu. Go ahead and each - making smart choices - this is…

Downsize your sweet tooth :). Rather than having the big candy bar , cookie, carb....- make sure you have the mini's/smallest version you can around. They usually only have 50 calories - mini candy bars, so as long as you don't go overboard it is a great treat. The other odd thing, rather than banning sweets / carbs from…

Have your pot luck be a healty snack so you can fill up on yours but sample, or seem to, some of the other items.

Goal 1: Get moving and toning - more muscle means more calories burned. Goal 2: Get under 200lbs Goal 3: Not having to shop in the 'big girl sizes' Goal 4: Get to the 150lb range - which even though I am short - is a good attainable weight.:flowerforyou:

I completely understand that - it is another form of addiction, just not one that hurts others as much as it hurts you. There are some great books that may help - Gennene (sp) Roth. It is something that I have struggled with and have spent many hours alone as a result. Hang in here.... it is a hard, slow and very possible…

On a side note, I had a doctor with a similar situation. After about 6 years of having similar conversations with my OB - I came into an annual and she had lost all of her extra weight. She explained that she had been going through a lot of personal issues and that was something that she had been unable to focus on. So - I…

If you have a dining room chair with arms, that is a good measure too.

Great job Paige! I have about 100 lbs to lose and feel your pain. Lisa
