I have been on antidepressants for most of the last 14 years-mainly Celexa. The first few years I tried several times going off (I first experienced problems requiring treatment when I was pregnant with my second child-that was rough!!! ) but I was not successful. Since then I have become much more physically active and I…

I can totally relate. You walk in that theater and all you can smell is POPCORN! Tomorrow is another day. When I'm trying to diet it's best I just stay from the theater!

Last year halfway through my training for my first half marathon I developed shin splints. I was doing some training sessions with a physical therapist to help me with an ankle problem I had for years, and he told me immediately go out and get calf sleeves, I think it's similar to the compression/sports socks that Jillian…

I'm thinking it's probably a waste of money, but if anyone out there has tried it?

I have heard that it can be caused by eye fatigue, have you been reading more lately or anything else that could cause more tired eyes? I have had that occassionally and it drives me crazy too.

Congrats on your weight loss so far! That is fantastic! I really love this site, like everyone else- it's free , and so easy to use and you can find great ideas and support. I tried the WW point system w/o actually joining two years ago before I found this site, I was successful at first then my weight loss seemed to…

I have a different Polar, I think it's the F4. Anyway mine was starting to go wacko on and off and I was training for a triathlon at the time so I didn't want to be without, so I bought a Polar FS1 on sale for not much more than an additional strap from Polar cost, so I have and additional watch(a lesser model but it will…

Good One, made me laugh!

Welcome! This is a great site for support ,etc. Good luck!

How funny -I just read your post, I just finished uploading(finally) a picture for my profile. That's my Boston Terrier Sparky. He is such a awsome dog. He looks very mellow in the pic but when he's not sleeping he usually pretty nuts. He can't wait for spring in Wisconsin so we can go back to taking our nice long walks!(…

Hi there! Just another person out there that knows about depression- I am in my mid forties and have been on antidepressants for most of the past 12 years. I have tried going off a couple of times and I have accepted that my life is way better when I'm on them and that it's not my fault, it's biochemical. I am lucky that…

Hi, I tried Hoodia after doing some research on it. I also understood that there are few out there that are pure and good quality. I tried one of them, can't remember which it was a year and a half ago. I really thought it helped. Unfortunately I found out I'm allergic to it -a week after starting it I had problems with…

Hi and welcome. I've been a member for nearly 3 weeks now and it has helped me lot. I've lost about 3 and a half lbs so far. I am like you, I don't need to lose a tremendous amount of weight, I set my goal at 15 but if I accomplish that I probly should go for five more. I have really needed to lose this weight for at least…

I say get the scale, but he's right people can get too obsessive about weighing themselves. I usually limit myself to once a week, except this last week I hadn't dropped an ounce so I cut my carbs and made sure I did a hard cardio workout, I just felt like my weight must be down a little so I weighed myself three days…

Congrats to Eve and Vontreesa!!! Way to go! After the first week of dieting I don't know what happenned exactly but was up .4lbs. I was discouraged but didn't give up, three days later I was down 3 lbs!!! I was very very bad yesterday, so bad I couldn't even bring myself to enter my cals. But todays a new day- getting…

I do a lot of the Lean Cuisines, I think they are pretty healthy as well as tasty. I do agree, especially for dinner they are on the small side. I always have intentions of pairing them with a nice tossed salad and low fat dressing, but then I'm not much of a salad person(I wish I was). When it gets a little cooler out I…

Hi, Welcome! I am new myself and I am finding it really user friendly and a great new approach to counting calories and sticking to excersise. I am 45 and I would like to lose 15 1bs. I have been trying to do that for the last 5 years with very little success. I don't know if it's an age thing or a certain medication I'm…

I have been on Celexa and Lexapro(not at the same time of course) for the past 5 or 6 years after being on Prozac for a number of years. Ever since I made the switch I seem to gain weight much more easily and have a much more difficult time taking it off. I never mentioned it too my doctor as it's not a huge amount of…
