Violet Petal Study
Has anyone heard about the Violet Petal Study for an endometriosis treatment medication? I submitted my information and I qualify, but I'm torn as to whether or not I want to participate. Would you ever do something like this? www.violetpetalstudy.com

Weight Loss with Endo
Do you guys feel as completely exhausted as I do sometimes? I have multiple nights where I sleep for 12 hours at a time throughout my week and I always feel tired, especially when my cycle comes around. It's so hard to make myself work out. My Cymbalta is for chronic pain management but apparently that could be…

Endo & Nutrition/Homeopathy/Etc...
Hi ladies, I've been on Cymbalta to control the daily pain I have with my endo, but I hate being on such a strong medicine since it goes against what I feel is overall good for anyone and it's probably contributed to weight gain. But, it helps, and instead of dealing with the pain every day, it's only once a week or so. So…

Cymbalta
Has anyone tried this for chronic endo pain management? My doctor has me starting it tomorrow. Hoping it helps with the physical and mental side of the chronic pain my endo causes me...

What do you wear to the pool at the GYM?
I want to use my gym's pool, but I don't know what is appropriate. I'm thinking I probably don't want to jump in wearing my bikini I'd wear at the beach. And racing Speedo's are expensive. What's normal? What stands out to you as inappropriate?

Body Fat Monitor Tools
I'm looking for recommendations for a body fat monitor that is accurate and affordable. I'm looking at body composition scales, hand-held monitors (like what I've been using at the gym), and calipers. What are your experiences with these? Any recommendations?

Should We Take Breaks from Logging?
I'm wrestling with the idea of taking a break from logging my food, but I am struggling with that idea. I feel like part of me is getting too obsessed with the whole thing - to the point that I'm dreaming about MFP, calories and whatnot. I wonder sometimes if I'm doing it because I *have* to, because it's become a matter…

BFP Stats NSV - My first Success Story Post!
I started this journey to get fit (again) on October 9th. I weighed 159 at the time. I had lost 3 pounds after the first couple weeks so I was around 156. At that time, I went to see a trainer at my gym for my free sessions (that had come with my membership ages ago...oops.) These were my measurements then (they may not be…

Subtracting Maintenance Cals from Cardio Burn
I have heard conflicting information about this topic and I'm at a loss for what to do. I use a HRM when I workout to log my calories and my typical workout is ~55 minutes and I burn ~500 calories. I don't pause my HRM when I'm walking from one machine to the other or when I'm putting back a kettlebell. My heart rate stays…

Probiotics
Anybody use them or have recommendations? Is it worth it? (I know that's a general question, but I don't even know where to start...)

Anyone else?

What to do when your spouse eats less than you (What's that
When I moved in with my boyfriend, I was 150 lb and he was 185 lb (at 6ft tall). We were both chubby, but in a cute way. Well, I don't eat meat and he does, but guess who cooks more. ;) Anyway, after 6 months, I gained almost 10 lbs and he lost 20. (Life isn't fair.) Anyway, thanks to a recommendation I got on MFP, I…
