Abusive ex-boyfriend. Nuff said.

Two of the side effects of paraguard are heavy bleeding and severe cramping. If the cramping is bothering you, and it's NOT an infection), see if your ob/gyn will prescribe you naproxen. It's a prescription NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug), like ibuprofen on crack. It should help. But definitely check to make…

This is going to sound weird, but celery and guacamole goes really really well together. :D

I am new to primal lifestyle, but if you want to add me, feel free. :)

Thanks!!!

So I started the primal eating plan yesterday, and I found I wasn't as hungry as I usually am. I ate way too few calories, which was bad, but I wasn't hungry, which is good (??). I guess the one thing I am going to have trouble with is figuring out how to add so much more fat to my diet. Can anyone help me with that? I've…

Also, how do I change mmy goals for protein, carbs, and fat in my goal section? I know you can manually alter them, but I have no clue how. Help?

Hello! I would really like to join your group. I am starting the primal/paleo diet today and, frankly, I need all the help I can get. I have a scale (an evil little beast), and I frequently eat waaaaay too damn many carbs. :) So, here are my stats: Name: Sarah Paige Age: 23 Weight: 192.4 Goal Weight: First goal is 175,…

I'm going to start paleo/primal (not sure which, yet, but prolly closer to primal) tomorrow. I'm hoping it will help with my mood swings (I was diagnosed bipolar in 2002.) Is there any evidence that this lifestyle helps you out mentally as well as physically?

Thank you so much for putting this up here. I am looking into it, doing research, etc. Consistently, I am over my daily goal in carbs, and I know that if I don't make a drastic change, nothing will change. That's not true for everyone, just me. :) I am going to jump in with both feet and go grocery shopping tomorrow. My…

Planned Parenthood is a low-cost center for women. As I recall, they do payments based on a sliding scale, so you might try them. They're an excellent resource.

This week I started exercising for the first time in gods know how long. I rode the stationary bike for 30 minutes and did weight training for around 15 minutes. And I found that it was actually fun! I was really really surprised, honestly. I do it by myself, since I do it at the school gym and my roommates don't go to my…

I typically gain the week before my tom hits. By the time it comes around, the bloating has gone down. It also really depends on what birth control you're using, I've found. When I was using an IUD (non hormonal form), I would gain something like 6-8 pounds some months. Talk about disheartening! I'm using a hormonal form…

It IS fun! But yeah, back problems can keep you from doing it. Abra526, don't be shy! It's a lot of fun and it's not promiscuous or anything (well, at least where I do it).

Doing a little bit of research, how many calories you burn while pole dancing is directly affected by how much you weigh. So...hm. A 190 lb woman (like myself) who pole dances for an hour at intermediate to advanced levels can burn around 500 calories. And obviously, the less you weigh the fewer calories you burn, or the…

Week 2 weigh in: 192.6. Total weight lost this week: 2.4 lbs. I'll probably walk around OCCC for 45 minutes. Does packing count as exercise? :tongue:

Starting Weight: 195 Goal Weight by End of May: 188-190 I'll be honest, I have a real tough time staying under my calorie goal for some reason. Any thoughts, help, ideas?

Thank you so much for all the responses!!! I'll check out the site later tonight. What kind of foods should I eat to increase my fat intake?

It used to be that when I'd get stressed, I'd eat and eat and eat. Nowadays, though, when I get stressed, I get hungry but have no appetite. Not a good way to lose weight. And it's not the finals that are getting me, but the last minute papers (I'm an English - Creative Studies major). Nice thing about being a Creative…

I did it back in 2006, and gained 50 lbs. I then went to IUD because it was more permanent, with fewer side effects and no remembering anything. But because I have not had any children, it kept slipping. I use the Ring now and it's working wonders. I wish doctors would explain to women, when they get the shot, that weight…
