Ok, I am starting to get a little worried. I had the Mirena IUD put in at the beginning of June. A month later, I had it taken out, because I absolutely hated it. Anyways, I had a cycle around the 26th of August, but now- it has been 11 days late already and i have no signs of getting it anytime soon. i have been really…

Bought the wrong Tea!
I went to the store yesterday to get more green tea, and was in such a rush I didn't realize till I got home that I bought the Decaffinated version! I like the benefits of fully caffinated green tea- especially with weight loss. Do you think I will still get some weight loss benefits with the decaf version, or should i go…

Need a strength training routine
Hello all, I am really trying to find a good strength training routine to tone and slim up. I have been hitting the cardio pretty hard, but I lack a really good strength training routine.

I am just a little concerned, because we give her plenty of floor time, but she is not crawling yet, and has a hard time sitting all the way up- she will for about 3 seconds, then slowly comes forward. I am a first time mommy, and i know i…

How did you lose it?
Hey everyone! I'm down to my last 10 (possibly 12) pounds, and I was wondering how those of you that have successfully dropped your weight, have lost the last 10? The reason I ask, is because I notice as the scale goes down, the longer it seems to take to reach my goal. I drink lots of water, eat pretty well, and exercise,…

Too many carbs?
Hello everyone! I was just wondering if anyone could tell me what a good limit is for carbs? I am not sure if MFP is a little too high if you are trying to lose the last 10. I am doing the lean version of P90X (so more cardio), and I am also running/ doing high impact aerobics 5-6 times a week as well. Currently I have…

Need a new diet plan
I think I am stuck in a rut :grumble: I am stuck at 140, and can't seem to break into the 130's! It is frustrating, because I exercise and eat like I am suppose to, but the weight won't budge anymore. SO I am thinking about going low carb (like 20-30 grams per day). Problem is, I am searching online for a low carb sample…

Feeling depressed..
I know this is going to sound like a pity party, and that is not my intentions, but I just need to get this off my chest, because I am really feeling depressed about my body.
