For the folks with Multiple Sclerosis ONLY
Hey guys, I'm going to a neurologist tomorrow with a very probable diagnosis of MS (after finding 4 lesions on MRI and at least 3 "episodes" that I can think of) I'm doing research on the Swank diet and *limited* research into diet and complimentary therapies, since I have no interest in getting on interferons or any other…

Mirena IUD users...
Anyone experience headaches that don't go away after having mirena in for over a year??? I'm seeing my OB soon and I'm contemplating having it taken out b/c I've had a headache for 9 days that isn't relieved by ANYTHING and I've tried everything from massage and acupuncture to homeopathic meds to migraine meds and beyond.…

So I did a Spartan race...
I weigh a little over 200 pounds right now. I lost weight, gained it back, lost more, gained more. Over. And over. I've been in a relationship with a really good looking and fit guy (without trying, he can wake up and run a spartan beast just for kicks without doing any exercising for months) I have no idea why he's with…

Doing Spartan Sprint out of shape!!!
Hey everyone...so I'm doing a Spartan Sprint in May. I used to be an athlete and I was always in shape, through the years fitness level has dropped off. I'm trying to get back into shape as quickly as I can in order to do the sprint in May, but I'm so scared that even if I do stick to a good workout regimen I won't be…

Any nurses out there?
I'm an ER nurse at a level 1 trauma center and I work nights- 12 hour shifts. I usually work 3-4 shifts in a row and usually any daily activities are on hold for me during that time seeing as it's difficult to go balls to the wall for 12 hours and come home and want to do ANYTHING other than sleep, shower, and haul a**…

Quadracep injury
So I just got back from South Padre Island last Wednesday from partying like an animal and dancing like one too. Apparently the "only losing weight by dieting and putting exercise into the mix later on" concept made this TORTURE for my body. I'm pretty sure I pulled my left quad because it hurts like h e double hockey…

Slim Forte
Has anyone heard of this or used it/knew someone who used it? It claims to be all herbs and stuff but helps with appetite, and it works. Is it considered cheating when you used pills to assist you in not eating everything in sight?

Going grocery shopping
Ok so I'm leaving in a little over a week to go skiing for thanksgiving break (WAHOOOO!) so I need to buy just enough for like a week and a half of food planning.

Holy sodium batman....
I didn't realize how much sodium I'm taking in and to top it off, I've been having a hard time drinking water lately and I have no idea why. In nursing school we are in clinicals 3 days a week all day and it's hard to keep up with water because 1. we can't go pee very often because we're busy and 2. we can't have drinks…

Excited!
I have lost 21 pounds in 2 months, but for the last two weeks have felt myself sinking back into some old habits (giving in to some cravings often last week, not working out and being lazy etc....) I was getting really scared that I was already giving up when I have had more success this time than ever before. Anyway to…

Hello everyone. My name is Kelli and I live in Texas.

I have been working on it this semester and have lost 18 pounds, but I have found that my…
