The mirror says it all
06/1/614 I made myself stand in front of the full-length mirror this morning. Naked. How did this happen? How did I get this way? Well, it's the items I stuffed in my mouth while languishing on the couch - the things meant for 4..6..8 people that I consumed in 24 hours. It's avoiding standing naked in front of the…

What to take?!
I'm so new to this whole premenopausal business. I am having the memory loss, tiredness and then some insomnia, mood swings, and very little bleeding, but deep cramps. I'm not sure what to take as the natural products aren't all regulated by the FDA. A few of my friends have mentioned creams and oils and say that helps…

Talk about adding insult to injury!
I'm going to whine a bit, is that okay? :cry: Menopause is a fact of life for women. It's the period at the end of decades of periods. I get that. With the "Big M" comes the homones - crying, impatience, and anger of minor things; tiredness; sensitivity to certain foods; headaches; and cramps. We all dealt with this as…

Anyone trying to "eat clean?"
I began eating clean February 2013. I'm still in the early "stages" of eating this way. When I do, I don't experience the spikes and dips I experience from processed food (due to the chemicals, extra salt, fat, and sugar), and I no longer eat Splenda - it gave me terrible headaches...or rather, I stopped getting terrible…

Breaking up with carbs
I am addicted to carbs - the simple ones especially that also have other things I don't need, but are so readily available. I know what I need to do: clean house, but would love some advice on how others hve kicked the carb habit - especially the withdrawl. I've tried quiting cold turkey a few times but the cravings are…

WLS in May - would love MFP friends in similar situation
Hi, I'm on a weight loss journey, as many people are, and a component of mine is having the Sleeve Weight Loss Surgery in May 2013. I'm on a program given to me by my bariatric surgeon's office. I didn't do well at all during the holidays, but I'm focused now and trying to acclimate to this way of living before the surgery…

Exercising with a knee injury
Hi, I'm on a sixth month weight loss program, as I'm planning to have WLS in May. A year ago I tripped/fell and really smacked my right knee (below the knee), and it took two months for me to recover. I went all summer/fall with no problem, but my knee's really been bothering me again...perhaps due to the change in…

New to the site
My nutritionist introduced me to this website - I had no idea it existed (I'm glad it does), or there was a site with so much information available. I'm begining a 6-month weight loss program prior to having weight loss surgery. It is a requirement, and I am glad that it is, as it's giving me the time needed to work…
