my son is on Adderall XR for ADHD---the main side effect is anorexia. he took Ritalin for the last 7 months and held steady with his weight, now that he has taken the Adderall he lost 8 lbs in a month he took it(for a six year old that's a lot). I make him eat breakfast at home before school, then give him his med---then…

34, single mom to a soon to be 6 yr old boy. I'm 5ft 2 inches and I want to lose about 75 lbs. Starting Weight: 201.5 Current Weight: 194.8 Goal Weight: 125 lbs

You can add me if you like :)

i have about 70 lbs to lose. add me if you like :)

I've had slip ups too. i get stressed and depressed and start eating like crap. however, i think this time I've finally had enough of just wearing gym pants and scrubs all the time because nothing else fits me. almost 3 weeks in and 4.5 lbs down---slow and steady wins the race. anyone can add me if they like :)

im 5 ft 2 and started at 205lbs. i am currently at 198. my goal weight is 125, so we have similar stats. this gives me an idea of what i have to look forward to. such amazing progress and results. truly an inspiration for me!!!

i know how you feel. i got out of the navy 4 years ago, down there in VA Beach, and i swore i would never put back on the weight that i had when i was pregnant. i worked so hard to lose it, looked great, and was only 20 lbs from goal. then i get out of the navy, eat what i want, and nursing school started, and then my mom…

a pound is a pound is a pound. a pound of feathers weighs the same as a pound of gold. there would just be a lot more feathers in a pound than how little bit of gold would be in a pound. same goes for muscle versus fat.

run meter looks like a good app, however the pedometer feature is only on the elite version with is $5 a year(which isn't terribly expensive)

i didn't know map had that built in function. i just found it and activated it. does anyone know how accurate it is?

mapmyrun can't be used as a pedometer can it, because i now they have mapmywalk and mapmyride as well. i was looking at pacer, its got good reviews.

my only issue is that with any diet/healthy eating lifestyle is that i don't like many fruits or veggies, and the ones i do like it seems i have to eat them allllllllll the dang time so it gets boring. i really don't like onions, don't care much for tomatoes or cucumbers, nor broccoli, asparagus, or brussell sprouts---i…

what is DANDR, or a chronometer lol??? i would love to see the thread you are referencing to see how to do the old atkins. thanks so much everyone!!

any suggestions, thoughts??? anyone, anyone...bueller, bueller :tongue:

thank you everyone for your input. i just thought i would give low carb high fat a try(and longer than 2 weeks---since i was so fatigued). a lot of people have suggested to me the reason i keep getting so many migraines and just feel so tired and blah(no other way to describe it) is that my diet might have something to do…

Congrats on choosing a great profession! I just graduated in May with my BSN and passed boards in June. If you would like a friend go ahead and add me. I know I'm not in college anymore, and a little bit older than you, but it's still nice to have friends :)

I have been curious about HRM's and step counters, calorie counters as well. I saw the fitbit does the steps and sleep counter, but not a HRM. I would like a combo of all three first stated, the sleep counter doesn't matter to me. However, I have heard that HRM's are worthless for wearing all day when you are just walking…

i was really big on sugar free syrups(made with splenda) and then using more splenda and milk in my coffee. i like it super sweet and light, can't ya tell lol. any who, I've been trying to wean myself down a bit. so for 8 oz of coffee i am having 1 tbsp of sugar and 1 tbsp of hazelnut or cinnabon creamer. thats for like 82…

thanks for everyone's help. :happy: i just have issues with the subtle teas(makes me feel like the taste is so bland and whats the point lol).

if the tea is put in cold water to steep to begin with, can i leave it in the water longer for a stronger taste? or do you always have to start with hot water?

but what about the steep time. can i let it steep longer, because I've been told that it makes it bitter if you do that. on the other hand i have a friend that lets her chai steep for like an hour so its super strong.....

i am aiming to lose about 75 give or take. ill reevaluate when i get to 125 if i am happy there. add me if y'all like :)

i also found this site for no bake quinoa cookies--haven't tried any yet though http://www.yummly.com/recipes/no-bake-cookies-with-quinoa

thanks for posting this because i was having major issues with quinoa. i tried to make it the way a friend told me---in chicken broth with some italian seasoning---none of my family members liked it and neither did i :( so i will have to give some of these a try. i also found this site that I'm going to have to try some…

i started over like a week and half ago. I'm on every day with an open diary to my friends. add me if you like :)

i actually had breakfast for lunch, and lunch for breakfast lol. so i ended up having one serving of fiber one pancake mix(i pureed a banana with a little water and mixed it into the pancake mix)--put those in a waffle maker. had 3 sausage links and one serving of sugar free syrup = 493 calories and YUM!!!

are there any certain types/brands of bars that you recommend??? thanks :)

[/quote] i haven't seen anywhere on the site where to buy refurbished. any idea where that area on the site might be? [/quote] nevermind, i found it :)
