Loss while on two medications that "cause weight gain"
Hello friends! I'm a nurse (so close to being a NP!) and I am on two medications that "cause" weight gain - effexor and the depo shot. Sorry, but you can't place the blame on medications like these. I will agree that they certainly do not help cravings and water gain is a possibility but the food you put in your mouth is…

Anyone do Crossfit??
I was following "The New Rules of Weight Lifting for Women" but after 5 months wasn't getting a lot of results and it was getting too easy. Plus my work out partner is moving away so I knew i needed more. Does anyone else do crossfit? I have done one class now and I thought I was going to die. How often do you do it? Do…

NROL and calories
What are you all doing for daily calories? The book recommends that I eat around 1800 and 2000 so I've just been trying to eat more but I know i need to keep track of it. I've gained a couple of pounds and I am trying not to let it get to me. I'd really like to know what everyone else is doing. Thanks!

pain!
Does anyone get super sore? My right arm is killing me because that's the one they usually want you to swing around as well as my ankle from jumping around! I'm not even that old so this is kind of sad. I was planning on stretching for a few minutes before doing it because I really don't want to have to skip a day. Any…

Fast forward to last night, over a month later when we hung out again and she asked about dress shopping and I reminded her I am…

Calculating Calories burned from HRM
Hello! So I bought a Timex HRM in order to really figure out what I am burning while exercising. I've looked around on the internet and it seems like there is an equation calories burned = (0.2017 x age in years + 0.09036 x weight in pounds + 0.6309 x average heart rate - 55.0969) x elapsed time / 4.184. Is this how you…

wii scale off?
So I was really trying to avoid buying a scale but i may need to. Last night my wii said I weighed 157.7 pounds and this morning it said 149. I redid it 3 times but it was always around that. As much as I would like that to be possible, I know better. Has anyone had this happen to them? I'm pretty disappointed.
