  • Sorry, I haven't taken Provera. I hope someone can shed light on things for you, because that doesn't sound good at all. If this is still happening I'd see your doctor. I hope you feel better soon!
  • No! Naked Juice is full of sugar and crap. There's nothing natural about it. Just check out the lawsuits against them.
  • Apparently it's one of the first places I lose weight ... my fingers, my feet (they've actually shrunk AND slimmed down), and my neck. I've always found it weird, but I'm glad because they used to be quite a bit bigger. The size of my class ring in high school was a bit ridiculous.
  • We're so close! Female 30 5'3" CW: 198
  • You definitely want to make sure you're eating enough during Insanity. Your body needs it. I was eating around 1900 calorie or more. Also, You won't get the majority of noticeable loss on the scale until month two. The same thing happened to me during the first few weeks because of the muscle I was gaining. Definitely look…
  • My goal right now is 140, but I plan on rethinking that when I get there. The thing is, I haven't been a healthy weight since second grade so I don't really know what a healthy weight for my body is as an adult ...
  • I have a hard time with motivation as well. One thing: eat more! Your body needs fuel for your workouts. 1200 won't cut it for as much as you work out. Do you log your exercise? MFP is made for you to eat back calories to fuel you. Your body will appreciate it. Good Luck!
  • I think people are taking this a bit seriously. It was simply one of those "wouldn't it be nice?" moments. Sure it would be super nice if I could have surgery and miraculously have an amazing body without any possible side effects. I would LOVE that ... but the reality is that's not how it works. We all know that and so…
  • The Book Thief by Markus Zusak ... This book was AMAZING! Don't bother with the movie if you're a reader. It doesn't even come close.
  • I'm not expert, but I feel like with how active you are you should be eating more. If you're sticking to the lower end of the 1500-2000 range with being active 4-5 hours a day instructing, I'd try sticking with the higher end of that and seeing if that helps. I feel like that's a lot of activity and your body needs the…
  • I'm currently about half-way through The Book Thief. Great read! I just received the first 5 books of A Song of Ice and Fire, so I'm really anxious to start that! :)
  • OMG, I want to pull my hair out when people say "muscle weighs more than fat" ... a pound is a pound no matter what it's made of. Sounds to me like you're just building some muscle. :) which is a great thing! If you're not happy with the inch loss as well, how's your diet been? Exercise alone won't get the job done,…
  • /\ /\ THIS! Also, I'm from Wisconsin ... 8 drinks a week here just MIGHT quench your thirst a bit if you're lucky ;)
  • I just started Insanity with the fit test yesterday! Feel free to friend me ... I also have a problem sticking with workout programs so the support would be great :)
  • I've done the 30 Day Shred, but it was NOT for me. I didn't even make it a week because I was so bored with it. Personally I love p90x3. Its only 30 minutes and everything in it can be modified. Although I happen to love Insanity and Les Mills Combat too ... all of which can be modified. And no ... I'm not a Beachbody…
  • I was diagnosed at 19 (now 30) and I have never in my life had an irregular period. I have also never had a cyst. I do, however have almost every other symptom that exists! ... I really think the name should be changed from PCOS because it is far more complicated than having cysts and messed up periods.
  • I have PCOS and I've lost about 35 pounds so far. I have at least 50 to go. It WILL be difficult! It takes persistence and I have found I have to be more diligent than others I know. It's more difficult for me to lose ... but it's possible! I finally found a good Endocrinologist and I'm on Metformin ER and Spironolactone.…
  • ^ No and yes ... Dr Oz has said himself that he does NOT promote ANY of this stuff. He's covered info about this and a lot of different topics and companies say he backs it without his permission. They slap his name on it in hopes for more sales ... Also, I agree on the last part. Supplements are just that. They're meant…
  • I'm on Spiro too! Definitely has made a huge difference for me. Once I got my facial hair threaded off (Love it for my brows) and it made me break out so bad! Since being on Spiro my facial hair has gotten a lot better, though I have to pluck a bit every week. I also have a lot of hair on my arms and stomach, and it's…
  • It's because in our society we've developed a bad relationship with food. The guilt we feel when we splurge once in a great while can eat right through you ... I know. For the longest time I thought that if I was going to stick with a healthy lifestyle that there was no room for such splurges. If I allowed myself a "cheat…
