Zoloft vs Welbutrin
Hi! I searched the forum for an answer to this, but couldn't find anything. I switched from zoloft 100mg to welbutrin 300mg a month ago, and really....I'm more depressed with the welbutrin than with the zoloft. I was working out this morning and almost in tears for absolutely no reason! I was just wondering if anyone is…

Bad Man Ronald McDonald
So I saw Anthony Bourdain last night in Tallahassee...SUPER funny by the way. But, he was talking about how Ronald McDonald is more recognizable worldwide than Mickey Mouse or Jesus. Crazy!

"Me" day
What do you all do when you get some time to yourself...for some "me" time? I take an extra long shower, or a bath, and paint my toe nails and finger nails, and (if it's the weekend) I may have a glass of wine with it :) What do you do for some "me" time?

Full Fast
Has anyone tried this? They say it's clinically proven and gave the journal of the study. I looked up the journal, and it's a legit journal, but I can't find the article. I found one that may be about it with Sublingual Spray, but I don't subscribe to the journal and can't read it. I also just emailed them to see if they…

Crabby!
So, I'm sure (well hopefully someone has been through this and has some advice for me) but I've been REALLY crabby lately! I know some has to do with me being hungry and refusing to eat much, especially to be able to be in my calorie limit. I eat 3 meals a day, and a snack if needed, but I'm still crabby. Also, I lost 3…

Opinions! P90x or Insanity!
I've done P90x and didn't really like it. It was great for muscles, but I was looking more for weightloss.

What does everyone…

Drinking and dieting
So, I still like to go out to the bars and have fun with my friends, which, yes, includes drinking a sufficient amount. I know that those nights TOTALLY undo everything that I have done during the week, like, eating right, and exercise. Does anyone else have this problem? Or any suggestions to where I can still go out and…

Overweight ilegal?
I just found this link on yahoo..Im sure some of you have seen it already. But Japan is measuring waistlines and imposing fines for those who are too big. Granted..it seems odd, but, looks like it may help with the diabetes and problems associated with obesity. Bet it would keep health costs down then too, in the long run.…

Only ate 600 cals, and I'm FULL
I only ate 600 calories today..and honestly...I'm SOOO full!!! I didn't exercise just because I'm sore from a weekend of a lot of tennis (I was at my parents, and I CANNOT lose to my dad:). Should I just take it as an under day? Or try to push it for more cals? It's 5:45 now...hmmm. Thoughts?
