Natural Ways to Help Detox the Body After Mirena
Now, before you start jumping down my throat about there is no such thing as a detox, I'm not asking for dieting purposes. I am not asking about pills or drinks made of lemons and syrup. I am asking for natural food/drink ways to help the body release toxins and regain a sensible hormone balance. I am having my Mirena…

Stupidly Confused - Stage 1
I have read and re-read the book. I have looked at different logs. I have read and re-read the "stage 1 help" post here. For the past 1.5 hours I have been clicking between all three resources and STILL can't effin figure this schedule out! :mad: I understand the letter/number combo means alternating and I understand that…

OMG! I think I'm Starving My Kid!
Dramatic title, yes, but from what I'm reading on NIH, my son should be eating like 2600 cals. I have no earthly idea how many calories he eats and I've been close to logging it just so I could figure it out. Every time I turn around the boy is hungry :noway: . He is 12, currently he is playing basketball and baseball…

What is Considered Heavy Lifting?
I go down into the gym at work and lift 3 days out of the week and every time I go down there I see a picture of an oily guy with mad crazy muscles the size of my head. So while I'm working out I have him on one shoulder doing bicep curls and me on the other wondering if I'm actually doing anything close to what he is…

Working On the Food...Now
So I'm getting pretty good at eating more on purpose. Yay me. I haven't always made the best choices, especially when traveling/visiting/football watching. I put the chic out of my head that says mean stuff and I've come to grips with actually buying whole milk on purpose. Great. So now I think this is the best time to…

WTF?!
So, ok, I get that I have only been at this for a week and some change and I recognize that it will take a while for my body to get it together. Great. I also realize that I am trying to get use to what foods to eat with higher calories and for the past week and some change I don't think I've gotten it 100% right…

My Body Is Fat...how about yours?
Holy cow! I just did a body fat calculator (http://www.gymgoal.com/dtool_fat.html) that someone on another post suggested and it said: 54% (U.S. Navy Circumference Method #1 - men and women) 35.7 (rounding to 36)% (U.S. Navy Circumference Method #2 - women only) 36% (book by Covert Bailey "Fit or Fat") 42% Average Yikes!…

A Little Nervous...
After reading for the past two days any and everything I could find about EM2LW, I'm going to give it a go. It's a tad bit scary...I've calculated my TDEE as well as my BMR and my TDEE - 15% and 2 out of 3 are about 1000 more cals than I'm use to eating. I am prepared to gain the weight back, but I do not plan to stop…

Which One Gets You Pumped?
TJ is by far my most fave in home workout, and while I like all of them, I noticed that some get me more pumped than others. Fat Burner is one and Cardio 3 has me going iiiinnnn. LOL Which one's get you going?

Belly Fat Jiggle Question
How in the heck do you get it to go AWAY?! I'm starting to feel like I look pregnant and like its going to just jiggle off my body when I walk. Like I seriously have a jiggly belly beer gut and I dont even drink beer.

Let's Go Blue!
C'mon Blue team! Let's get crackin'. This is mid-week. We are lagging behind the Red Team by 1 point so that means we are close. Let's push the rest of this week out so we can get some great numbers :flowerforyou: *ummm...yea...for the record, I am a bit amped today and I have no idea why :huh: *

Starting April 16th...anyone else?
So it's looking like I am a home video workout junky lol When I heard about JMBR I was like "what?! Why am I late on this?" and I snapped it up quick. I have had it in my possession for a week...sorta scared of starting. Anywho, I figured the 16th was as good a day as any to put it in motion. Anyone else starting tomorrow…

Different Flours--WTH are they used for???
Ok, so as of late I've been sticking well to not eating as much carb laden foods, but I've come to the realization quickly that a girl can only take so much life w/o a pancake. Wandering the aisles of the natural section of my grocery store I've noticed some new things. Shirataki noodles for starters (awesome for the no…

I'M STUCK!
I've hit that dreaded "P" word :sad: I need help. I've been stuck at 239-237 for a while and I dont know what to do to get back on track. Some days I eat like crap, but for the most part I'm eating the same. I run 3 days per week without fail and burn between 700-300 (depending on how hard I go at it). Ugh....so tired of…

WTH Is This Pain Behind My Knee???
For the past week I have had this annoying pain behind my knee. It's more like a 'soar' pain not a 'sharp' pain. It doesn't hurt after I rest it, but after a 2-3 mile run it hurts and it will hurt the rest of the day/night. Stick your leg out. Now grab the side of your leg where your knee bends. That's where it hurts. Does…

Hot, Sweaty Fun--You Game?
Anyone want to join in on the sweaty fun? :wink: I figured that I wou--Wait...ugh...you guys are so dirty! :embarassed: I'm not talking about sex here people. Get your minds out of the gutter silly heads. I'm talking about starting Turbofire today. Hence the 'hot' 'sweaty' reference. :huh: Anywho--I'm starting it today. I…

This May Be a Dumb Disney Marathon Question...
But, if you run the races what happens afterward? Do you stay in the park and play or what? Do you have to purchase a ticket to do things? I know that you have to pay for the additional parks and stuff, but if you are running the race and your family is watching--what happens when you are done? Must you tear your children…

Insanity (again)? Turbo Fire? Chalean Extreme?
At this stage in the game I'm burnt out :explode: and I need something to couple with my running. I liked Chalean Extreme but I don't think it was intense enough. I like the lifting weights thing though. I felt stronger doing it. I've done Insanity and I love it. I did one of the workouts the other day and wanted to do it…
-
Extreme Anyone?
I thought of doing P90x but then I remembered I had Chalean Extreme collecting dust so I figured why not do that first. Tony kinda scares me a bit. LOL I've seen a lot of women say they loved the program and there were lots of great results so I'm putting Tony and that crazy *kitten* Shaun T on the shelf for now and…

Muscle Itching????
This may sound weird, but my thigh muscles itch. Not the skin, but the muscle and sometimes the inside of my knee. What does that mean? If I lightly punch my thigh it feels sooooooooo good but I look like a looney toon doing it. I'm super curious if anyone else has itchy inside muscles :huh:

What the what?!
There is sooooo much stuff out there that I feel like I "need" and I can't sort out which to purchase 1st. (FYI: these are in no particular order) 1) Running shoes--Im set to run a 10k in July--July 4th to be exact and mama needs a new pair of shoes. 2) Sports bra (I need at least 2 Enells)--Ok my boobs are huge. Let's…

Channeling the tortoise
Soooo....I'm new here, but not new to the race. I'm really not focused on losing weight so much as I am getting fitness up. The plan? I plan on channeling the tortoise (you know the turtle from the tortoise and the hare?) and taking it slow. My goal is to run the Peachtree Road Race in Atlanta, July 4th. Let's see how far…
