Skin care!
One of the items I seriously struggle with is dry skin! My legs look like I am turning into an alligator. I am itchy! I drink a ton of water and put lotion on after my shower but it is not helping. Anyone have a great lotion/treatment they love that seems to help until my levels even back out?

What is your favorite body part now and why?

Not my breasts but my chest. I can't help but look at the curve of my newly seen clavicles and the hollow of my neck. I think it is…

Feels like bread lodged in my chest
Okay, so since Monday morning, I have felt like a slice of hard bread is lodged in my chest! It hurts! It is in the middle of my chest just under the breast bone. Food has not made it worse. It does not feel like a muscle. Water doesn't help. Any ideas?

Short and long term training advice

Is it bad that..........
I am REALLY amused when someone asks me what I have been doing to lose the weight and I reply that I am eating right and working out and then they look disapointed that I did not have a magic bullet?

Okay so since I got my HRM, I have noticed carry over burn. While my body is settling back down to a normal state, I burn like 100 extra calrories, FAST. Should I be counting those to eat back or not?

Losing but struggling
Okay so I am losing but every pound has been a battle. I eat. Trust me I eat. I am doing my cardio and I am hit or miss on some strength training. I am always under on my net but not by much.
