Herbalife..yes, no?
I was thinking of doing the Herbalife thing again. I tried it once before but didn't do well because of my lack of dedication to sticking to it. I was wondering if anyone here has tired it and what are your thoughts?

Hope it lasts!
Ok, no reason for posting this except for that I feel awesome...for once. I have cut red meat of out my diet and have been meat free...hee hee :wink: for a week now. I also in that time have stopped eating my usual cinnamon toast in the moring. I have been meditating at night to help unwind and just started a quick…

chart
Hi! I'm looking for a chart of some sort that gives you pretty much all the exercises for different muscle groups. I tried googling and I kept getting sent to sites for fitness equipment and such. I also don't want a schedule, I'll come up with one that works for me, I just want a list or something. I don't have any…

cutting out meat...
HI! So lately I've been having some health issues and one of which is that I'm noticing that after I eat red meat, particularly hamburger, I get violently sick. I get the cramping and then it's a mad dash to the bathroom where I feel as if I'm going to pass out. It doesn't seem to matter where the meat is from. I've tried…

VERRY embarrassing question!
Ok, this is SO uncomfortable to bring up, but I don't really have anyone to talk to and I don't want anyone close to me to know. Say you have been in a long relationship with someone. You love them very much and they say they love you, but they won't have....you know...(whisper) sex...with you? They say they are not…

Every Day???
I just started the 30 Day Shred. Almost 2 years ago I was able to do level 3 with vertually no problems and I could also run 4 miles a few times a week. Now..... Well, lets just say I haven't done any exercise in about 6 months and have eaten nothing but utter crap. I've gained about 40 or so lbs because of it. (depression…

Anyone else on this Med?
Hello MFP friends! My doctor gave me a new medication to take along with my regular anti depressant. The name on the packet is Seroquel XR 50mg. I read up on it a little and it's used for Bipolar and schizophrenia. I do not have schizophrenia but my doctor does think I am mildly bipolar. I don't have sharp highs and lows,…

Anxiety, what do you do?
I just read a post about a member who has anxieties and has found ways to deal with them and not going to food. I would like to know how. Along with anxieties I also have ADHD (they usually go hand in hand). I take an anitdepressant and since I'm back in school for nursing I take a med for the ADHD so that I can actually…

Low Carb/No Carb
:flowerforyou: So, I spoke to my doctor this week and he told me that I should do a low carb diet such as South Beach. This is something I'm not looking forward to as I found that carbs hide out in a lot of foods and I'm not sure what my carb intake should be on this type of diet. Has anyone had success with this and…

Gluten free?
I'm not 100% sure, but I've been reading up on food alergies, due to the joint pains I've been having. (a friend told me to check it out) and I think I may have a sensativity to gluten products. It says the best way to find out is to eat a gluten free diet for a few weeks and see how you feel. But my question is...does…

surgery?
I was wondering… I’ve seen women who have had children and in their before and after pictures they have nice flat bellies. My question is, have a lot of women had surgery to get rid of the “flub” from having kids? I am lucky and have mostly avoided stretch marks, but I do have that little extra flub in my belly. I’m…

GAINED????
So, the past week and a half I've been really cracking down on getting rid of my extra 40+ lbs. I've been eating clean (no processed foods) and hired a personal trainer 2 days a week. I've even started running more. And what happens....I get on the scale today and gain a pound. I even had taken pictures and I swear I can…

joint pain
I'm not sure what is going on, but as always, maybe someone here knows. I worked out Friday...later that evening my left elbow hurt...like a dull throb. Nothing major and it went away. Yesterday I walked/ran 4.25 miles. This morning around 2 am I woke to the worst pain ever in my right shoulder, left knee, and both elbows.…

tosca reno books
I got a book by Tosca Reno last night. I already am doing the herbalife thing (as a kick start) but I am also going to follow her plan. I got the eat clean diet stripped...shed 10lbs in 28 days. I have way more than 10lbs to lose, but I think the book is very informative. Plus I just think it's the way we should be eating.…

horses
Hello! Many years ago I used to own horses and ride all day long. I'm many years older with two children now and am looking into riding again. Just wanted to say hello to all the people out in MFP land who also ride and love it. Also wondering...just how many calories can you burn riding? I plan on dressage and jumpers.…

knee problems
I was wondering if anyone would have any suggestions for me on my knee problem. I don't have any pain while running. (I'm at 3 miles a day) I stretch like I'm supposed to, but anytime I have my leg bent or strait for any length of time, it is so hard to bend and it hurts. (mostly my left knee) I didn't know if a knee brace…

always tired
Hello everyone! I was wondering about being tired. I'm always tired and some days, even when I sleep a full 8 hours that I should be, I'm still very tired. One example being today. It's almost noon and I just woke up. I went to bed around 10 last night and have gotten enought sleep the past few days. But some days I just…

Odd pain
Recently I have had this odd pain in the back of my knee. If you put your finger right in the back where it bends and then go straight down about 4 inches...that's where it feels funny. :huh: I think it started after I did exercises at the gym for the backs of my legs. The ones where you pull your legs towards your…

South Beach
I was at the doctors today for a follow up visit to see how I'm adjusting to my new medication. I've gained a lot of weight on the other med. I was talking to the doctor about how I'm a carb addict and he said I should try the South Beach diet. Not as restrictive as the Atkins. Has anyone ever tried it? Opinions?

oatmeal
Hi! I'm not crazy about plain oatmeal, and I don't like syrup or honey. How can I make it better? I had gotten the apple cinnamon instant in the past but I'm trying to forgo the instant or pre-made anything. Any ideas?

Healthy Lunches
I've been a sugar/carb addict for my entire life. Or for at least as long as I can remember. Growing up we always had some form of starch on the table and it was tradition to eat a brownie, cookie, or ice cream for snack before bed. Well, two kids later and pushing 40 my body is no longer staying thin. I lost weight last…

Body wont cooperate.
Ok, So this may come of as me complaining and cry babying, but I have to get it out. And maybe someone else has felt this way and found a way to get over this feeling. So last year I started running. I thought I was doing very well. The pounds started coming off, and I was slowly starting to be able to run farther and…

Medication weight gain
Hello, Has anyone had problems with medications causing them to put on weight that they just can't get off no matter what they try? I was put on Elevil for migraines and have gained a lot of weight. I tried so many ways to cut out carbs, fats, meats, you name it I've tried it. I also run a lot and have been working towards…

Evil Mom???
I am making the grand effort to eat healthy. I went to the grocery store this week and did not buy sugar cereals, no chips, cheesy poofs, or candy. No processed meals or high sodium "healthy frozen meals" My daughter wanted a snack last night and was gravely disappointed that there where no "snack foods". She had cereal…

I'm trying to add to my exercise journal, and today I worked out with a personal trainer. (first time) He had me working with weights on my shoulders, arms, and back. How do you enter that in??? I put in weight training...arms...weights...nothing. Help! LOL

Beef
I recently saw a program called Food Inc. Wow, what an eye opener as to what goes on with our food. Did you know that in one serving of hamburger, you could have a few thousand different cows in that one serving??? Ewwww! And also...as of when this documentary came out...when it says...FDA approved...that doesn't mean…
