Personally I prefer to get medical information on medication and information from professionals who have been to school for years. Particularly pharmacists, they have so much knowledge regarding drugs and prescription medications. A Mirena IUD is a prescribed medical device, so if a doctor does not know or a pharmacist…

thanks to inspiration from bsinno, I am into day 2 of NOSCALEJULY, mine is still in the bathroom, I am just ignoring it for now!:bigsmile:

Have you checked with your prescriber or pharmacist? This would be better answered by a medical professional.

I would say set your activity level at moderate and eat at that level all the time. That is advice I have seen given many times here. Overestimate your activity level when it comes to figuring out your calories rather than underestimate. The reason is you do not want your body to think you are starving it ever. When you…

That is wonderful progress! Congratulations. maybe I should do a no scale July! Except I did get on today, rats! Well I have a start weight to go by, off to do measurements and then no scale until August 1st!!!! I will let you know how my experiment goes! You have inspired me.
-
I can't answer that but I can say, don't weigh yourself everyday, you will drive yourself crazy!!! I used to do it too. If the scale was up I would beat myself up, if it was down, celebration time! It is just a number. Don't let a number rule your life. Instead focus on how you are feeling. How does it feel to be eating…

I don't think one day of burning that many calories and not eating them all back is going to do damage. Now if you did this every day it might be a problem! Wow, do you have a cape that says Super Gardener on it??? Hope you got some water in, if it was hot like it is here right now, you would have melted into a big…

So to change your MFP settings go to My Home tab at the top of the page, You will then see a tab for Goals, click on it, then you will see another tab Change Goals, click on it, You will now see two lines you want to click on the Custom settings and then click on continue. Now you will see all kinds of values. The basic…

You can also put egg whites in your oatmeal, you don't taste them, just make sure you cook them thoroughly! Protein powder smoothies may be your best friend for awhile. Greek yogourt has a high protein count. Soups, add protein powder! Soft cooked eggs. egg custard, quiche without the crust, cottage cheese. The blender…

I am so sorry you are feeling so desperate and ready to throw in the towel. I am no expert here but I do know this. You need to know your numbers. Start from scratch, today. Work out your numbers using the Scoobys site, figure out your activity level. You have to be honest with this. Now you also have to do your…

We all want quick fix. It just cannot happen for us, but when you think about it, this eating thing is so much nicer. Sit down and make a list of all the pros and cons. Bet the pros list is much longer!

Unless you are taking steroids you will not get bulky. Women cannot get bulky, they get sleek and sexy looking. Like HHM just said, look at Kiki and Lucia, they have been lifting for quite a while. Never in a million years would anyone ever say they are bulky, muscle bound women, they have strong sexy sleek bodies. I think…

My suggestion to you would be to read through all the sticky pin notes here. Also view the videos, they also reinforce the information and are fun! They give you all you need to know about what EM2WL is all about. I am not really a big fan of the Paleo diet, I have not read all about it but from what I do know it does seem…
-
You know your sister best, if you have done many things in the past together and she has sought out your advice in the past or taken unsolicited advice from you with no problems then I would say yes, but I suspect that because you are asking here it is something you are unsure of. If you are unsure of her reaction I would…
-
When I was at the 3 week mark I needed it too, just keep reading those notes and watching the videos. They got me through to now, I am in week 8! You can do this. Keep posting when you need to.
-
It is difficult to explain but I know this, I feel good. I have lost 5lbs. I am eating healthy food. I don't hate my food. I don't snack uncontrolled in the evening. I sleep well. I have energy. I am now able to do my strength training program and not feel exhausted. Why, because I am finally feeding myself. It is really…
-
It is difficult to say really without seeing what you had for breakfast? I definitely was a low calorie girl at one time and hated eating breakfast! I started eating breakfast long before starting EM2WL because I had to. One thing I know, I include protein, carbs and fats in every meal to keep a balance. It really makes a…

I also go to a personal trainer, she has also competed and trained for the past 20 years. Her advice is vastly different from your PT. She thinks that you need to feed your body healthy foods and enough to fuel it so that you can lift and live! She is also learning about nutrition and very well read on the subject. We do…
-
I can say yes we have. I read all the sticky pin notes and viewed the videos for the information. It is a lot of information to get through but it is so worth it. Sounds like you should visit a doctor first though if you are having troubles with the flu/digestion though. I believe it would be wise to be checked to make…
-
You no longer view food as an enemy to be conquered You don't worry about what the scale says, you enjoy how well you feel now. You are no longer cranky, biotchy or stressed. You are calm, content and happy. You don't cruise the cupboards and fridge in the evening looking for food, you are satisfied because you fed…

Nice!
-
You are on the right track but you should estimate your exercise on the generous side, meaning if you think you may be closer to strenuous then plug that value into the scoobys site rather than moderate. The reason is that you don't want your body thinking you are starving. If it thinks that it will hold onto every calorie…
-
You can eat healthy and still get in your calories. Go to the store and stock up on full fat yogourt, cheese, eggs, tuna and all the usual foods you like to eat. Just have larger portions at dinner. As long as you are eating healthy foods you can get your calories in. I would assume that you can continue to track while you…
-
I have trained with a personal trainer, in fact, I have had 3 different trainers. They all said the same thing, you need to learn correct technique when lifting. You need to lift to challenge but not cause pain and you need to rest between sets. They also encouraged me not to strength train the same sets of muscles on…

Lucia is right. You can work out that lower body. You can do some walking. Just don't give up now. Sounds like the heat and post vacation blues might be getting you down. Plus you are looking for a job and that can be tough too! Your shoulder will heal, give it some rest, ice it or give it some heat. I would also say visit…
-
My question to you is what kind of foods are you eating right now? If you eat foods that have a lot of sodium in them or use a lot of salt on your foods, cut back on that right now. Try and eat as many non processed foods as you can. I know that can be difficult especially if you are busy and working but do try. If you…

Ok so here are my two girls as promised, Sally is the calico, and yes she is full grown. Lucy believes in the EM2WL principle, she is the tortoiseshell! :wink: I changed my avatar and it shows on my homepage but not here????? why oh why.... There we go! I am so challenged :blushing:

I wish I could post a picture of my beloved Shasta, she was so gorgeous, total nut bar, goofy and just plain dumb (I think she played dumb so she would have to do things!) She was a Dalmatian, gorgeous dog, brown eyes that melted your heart. She grew up on a 65 acre farm with us and then we had to move for DHs work so we…
-
Yes I have one and love it. Like the stairs feature on the ultra, the sleep monitoring and steps taken. I pretty much ignore calorie burn though. I love the friendly greetings too! Customer service is great but I wish you could talk with someone, it is email support only at this time. I have had some problems with syncing…

Etre bien dans sa peau ~ to be comfortable in ones own skin I love the meaning behind this especially when I am in the gym and feel a wee bit intimidated by the gym bunnys :wink:
