Eczema attack
Not sure this goes here but... maybe? When I first started on FP in August I was also battling a terrible Eczema break out, everything that the fam. physician I work with prescribed either made it worse, did nothing or worked for a while and then stopped. I had lost 8lbs with FP, my body looked freaking wonderful, I was…

Question for professional trainers
I am 24 years old and on a stimulant medication for ADHD which makes my resting heart rate higher than average, the ones I can remember off the top of my head are between 90 and 115. I asked my doctor if that means I have to get my heart rate higher than the average person does in order to engage a cardio work out (since I…

On the go Breakfast ideas
I recently switched ADHD medication to one that takes longer to kick in than the old one. I like that since I'd like to start eating breakfast because according to MFP I need to take in more calories daily in-order to get out of starvation mode. I don't have enough time in the AM to even eat a bowl of cereal, so it has to…

Trying to get back on the horse
I lost my motivation a while ago and since I hit a bump and was crazy busy I just gave up on myself. I even returned to eating my emotions and bordum eating :( I was so dissapointed in myself but that only made it worse. I am BACK to 132.4 lbs and not fitting into my jeans- I went to buy new jeans but that process…

Anyone else taking fish oil?
Soo I have been on a work out hiatus thanks to awful eczema (per my derm I should try not to work out until my skin is under control, maybe even until I move) and I heard fish oil had been known to help some people with their eczema. Since I have high triglycerides too I figured, it can only help- right? I've been taking…

Most nutritious shake?
Hey all, I'm not looking for a quick fix to weight loss- I am honestly looking for a shake to help me with nutrition. I know I don't eat as healthy as possible but most of my major screw ups are at work. The only places near my job are McDonalds, KFC, WaWa and there is a subway but it's always too packed to get in and out…

What to do in these types of situations?
This morning a dear friend of mine brought a suprise McDonalds sausage biscuit for each person in our office (were a small office). She is supportive of my weight loss efforts and I think she just didn't me to feel left out and I appreciate that she was trying to be nice, so I ate it. Not only are sausage biscuits…

Female Voices of Country?
This is going to sound really stupid but I am going to be honest with you all: Although I have always loved all kinds of music in various languages, I never listened to country.... mostly because I would get teased by my siblings and a few other family members that I had "forgotten my NYC roots." The older I got the more…

Fitness DVDs that come with "slim down diet plan"
I have never gotten a fitness DVD but I have often considered it, a lot of the infomertials talk about slim down diets coming with the DVDs (I think hip-hop abs has one and brazilian butt lift has one) Sometimes the ads say the whole DVD set is "Not sold in stores" and sometimes they say don't say weather or not the DVD is…

Calories from fat
I have some questions about Calories from fat... some may sound dumb, but please bare with me- I am a noob and I don't know a ton about nutrition 1. Is it important to pay attention to how many calories from fat are in an item? If so, why isn't it in the food diary? 2. Is it more important to pay attention to calories from…

Doggie parents whose furkids have hind leg problems?
My dog, Tequila, is a five year old male chihuahua who has never had hind leg problems before in his life, my grand father got him for me when I graduated high school, he was 4 months old at the time so I know his full history. He is about 9lbs and mostly muscle. Sunday when I took him out to potty at 11:30a he was fine.…

NSV today :P
I love my butt. At my biggest, it still looked good- at my smallest it looked good too. It is one thing that no matter what my weight- has always given me confidance. Now that I'm working out I am trying to do exercises that target the butt/hips/thigh region to make it look even better, my fiancee has made comments on how…

HELP! Confused as heck + medication side affect
I don't get the calorie thing at all. I don't really have a GIANT goal (IMO) and I don't have enough time to exercise a whole lot.... (I try to work in a minimum of 15-30 mins every other day- some exercise days, I can get in as many as 45 and if I have time to, I do it believe me.) Before any of my questions, I want to…

Quick question?
How do you log an exercise that you don't know the name of? For instance, I sometimes do exercises I see in magazines or on youtube or via late night infomertial, lol and I don't always know the name of said exercise to put it into my log and see how many calories I've burned- what do I do?

The joys of ferrent-hood and ferret rescue
I am a very loving ferrent and a loving chihuahua mom... but for me ferrets (as a species not just mine) are just more needy than other animals. People more commonly 'neglect' their ferret's needs, not because they don't care about their ferrets but because of the common misconceptions of ferret care. It really pains me to…

Ladies, I have a question
I read that exercising regularly will help keep menstral cramps at bay, I have read this a million times, actually. I think it made mine worse, if anything. Has anyone else experienced this? I was hoping for some relief but ugh, so far no good. I have only been working out about a week though so maybe regular work outs…

I know this isn't a diet but....
I know this isn't a diet but my fiancee and I went food shopping the other night, I was supposed to do it a few days ago but I wasn't feeling up to it, and we were both so proud of how many healthy foods I picked out and how many of my old time favorites I passed up (ice cream, cheetos, oreo peanut butter filled fudge…

:smile: Hi there, everyone! :smile: My name is Laurena (I usually go by Rena, Lauren, or Bella- Bella and Rena are my faves) I am 23 years old and I work as a phlebotomist in a bilingual clinic a half hour (w/o traffic) away from home.
