Vitamin B/Chromium Picolinate to Curb Junk Food Cravings
So there was a Dr. Oz segment on GMA last week where he talked about sugar/junk food actually being an addiction like a drug. I COMPLETELY feel like that is true for me, so I took a portion of his advice, which was to start taking Vitamin B Complex and Chromium Picolinate, which are supposed to help "detox" you and break…

Lexapro and Weight Gain
I was put on Lexapro a little over a year ago to help with POTS (for those of you who don't know what that is, it's a disease of the autonomic nervous system). I've always been genetically on the thinner side, to the point where I used to TRY to gain weight in high school, but I've put on 25+ pounds since going on this…

Need Paleo Help, Please!!
I have POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome), which causes a whole host of symptoms, including digestive issues.

I wore the counter to the gym and compared it to what the elliptical was…

More P90X Questions
I just finished Week 1 of the Lean program and am loving it so far! A couple of questions though....the first few days, I wasn't burning nearly enough calories as I anticipated (only a little over 100 on core synergistics, for example), and I'm wearing a calorie counter/HRM. Today, I did X Stretch and burned over 400…

P90X Question
Just got P90X and was reading through everything.....one thing I noticed is that it seems to emphasize that you should not be counting calories and/or creating a calorie deficiency while doing P90X. I started MFP recently and wanted to do both....any thoughts? I can't afford to buy all of the foods in the nutritional guide…

Horrible Diary Day
After doing really well with my calories the first half of the day, I binged on 6 of the homemade cookies that I baked for my husband and stepson, then continued to spiral out of control by eating a McDonald's Angus Burger meal (minus the drink) for dinner, and ANOTHER half dozen of the cookies, all while cancelling my…
