I just completed week 1 and can't wait to start week two!

It is incorrect. You can still get hypertension, diabetes and you can be more prone to being deficient in important nutrients/minerals and vitamins. Vegan isn't really the best way to go- unless you are against eating animal products...then that is different. It isn't a miracle diet

CDiff would have a fever along with really foul smelling diarrhea, and the patient usually becomes extremely dehydrated.

Does it happen if you have eaten recently? I have heard this from some of my patients who are s/p cholecystectomy as well- but I haven't ever really been given a reason as to why it would be happening..for sure follow up with your PCP. :)

I have a fitbit one and I love it. It has helped me tremendously :) Worth the price!

you like zombies? Download the Zombie 5k trainer to your phone or ipod! I did and I am loving it, you are part of the story and at the same time you are being trained to run 5k!

5'2" here, GW of around 120ish, feel free to add me!

It can be done, I have chronic pain in my rt knee and chronic headaches r/t sinusitis..it is just more difficult...I always feel better after I work out though!! Always do

You probably need to see a doctor and have your TSH levels checked and your iron levels checked to see if you are also anemic. Being anemic can make you tired, exhausted, and if your TSH levels are too low, then that will also cause you some trouble. Having hypothyroidism will slow weight loss and make it more difficult,…

you can link your fitbit account to your MFP account also...

I would keep up ice, and elevation. Try to stay off the foot as much as possible as these things can take some time to heal. If you aren't feeling any better after one week s/p the injury it would be time to consider consulting with an MD about incase of there being a fracture somewhere. :) Feel better. (source, I am an…

Yessss...I take wellbutrin XL and it has helped alot. I use it for a dual purpose, 1. to help my depression and 2. to help with my ADHD. It helped curb my apitite and I feel much better on it, that said, I also take adderall and that probably helps a little bit too. Keep up the exercise, trust me, I understand how hard it…

I take wellbutrin, adderall, xanax and ambien. But as I am feeling like my old self again, it is getting better, but no matter what never give up.

I agree, as long as you are eating the correct kind of sugars (non processed), it is okay to be over your sugar limit - because not only are you eating food that is good for you, you are also getting all kinds of vitamins that you wouldn't get other wise. I would say just make sure that you are within your kcal limit and…

I want to do it so bad, but seeing as I have already had 2 seperate knee surgeries and a 3rd pending, I don't think it would be smart. My hats off to anyone who can complete it!

I actually just had to buy new scrub pants because mine are getting so big on me. Plus, it doesn't help that the iguana med brand seems to run big! I got tired of always pulling my pants up, I am in a weird spot right now, but I am in between a small and a medium! I know it is a good thing, but man do I forget how…

24 here!! feel free to add me :) lost 23 lbs so far!

24 and I am trying to lose around 50 lbs!

I have recently gone back on adderall, so I am going to say that and drinking plenty of water!

I bought a Fitbit One last week and I love it. The flex is back ordered every where I tried to find one. So the one it was, I absolutely love it. I don't have to wear it on my wrist, and as a nurse that makes me happy. I don't need anything else to get germs on it. The one is small, and sleek and from what I understand…

I just finished a medrol pack about three weeks ago, which isn't too awful compared to the nightmare of the prednisone. My doctor (this is used to get the swelling in my sinuses under control before a surgery) wrote it out to be taken like so: 50 mg for 2 days, 40 mgs for 2 days, 30mg for 2 days, 20 mg for two days and 10…

I wish I had a B cup! Big boobs are overrated!!!!!!

Awesome!! Keep up your good work!!

Agreed!!! I agree with you!!! :) Keep it up!
