Nursing mother
I am back on MFP after finding out I was pregnant with twins, about a year ago. I gave birth by C-section on July 19th. Since it is not listed under the exercises, I would like to know if anyone knows how many calories breast feeding ACTUALLY burns per day. I've heard too many varying guesses to be sure, and if anything,…

Still looking for workout buddies near Queens, NY...
Hi! I posted something like this a few weeks ago, but to no avail.... I know somebody out there must be close. Where are you??? I soooo need a workout buddy! I have lived in Fresh Meadows, NY for 7 mo., and have no real, physical friends here (except my BF). I need someone to be active with before I rot away in this…

Antidepressant withdrawal and nausea
I have been tapering off of Effexor for a few weeks now (It gave me high blood pressure), and I am on the lowest dose now until I add my new anti-depressant to the mix on Monday (Celexa). My boyfriend and I had the flu about a week and a half ago, but I still am nauseated off and on through the day, and my shrink said that…

Pre-made low-cal cake options???
I need lower calorie birthday cake ideas for my boyfriend and his twin! His twin brother is in the hospital, and they turned 30 yesterday. I am not going to have time to cook, so I need something that I can grab on the way there. His brother and I are both watching our calorie intake, so it has to be something…

Totally gross question...
Alright, so I want to deworm my cat, since I haven't done it since I moved to the city and he used to be a country cat...eating birds, mice, bugs etc. So I Google "How to get rid of worms in cats", I was thinking of trying some sort of non-chemical treatment on him, since it's just a precaution. Of course, after I get my…

Need to vent. Depressed.
I'm up late. I was hungry, but just had some Healthy Request soup & one of those single-serving popcorn things. Anyway, I struggle with depression, and I am weaning off of Effexor because it made my blood pressure very high and will start Cymbalta next week. Also, it's my time of the month.....so basically I'm an emotional…

Effexor to Cymbalta
Hi, I posted this same question under the subject "New Med" yesterday, but haven't gotten a response yet. My Md. is switching me from Effexor XR to Cymbalta because the Effexor has made my blood pressure very high. I have been taking it for 3 years, and it may have had a bit to do with my weight gain. Of course now I am…

New med
My Doc. is switching me from Effexor XR to Cymbalta due to the fact that Effexor has given me high blood pressure (Pretty sure it made me gain weight over the last 3 years, too.) Does anyone have any experience with Cymbalta? I'm mostly asking about weight gain...

Am I SUPPOSED to eat those extra allotted calories from exer
I'm confused, I know that technically I'm allowed to eat the calories that I earned from exercising, but am I supposed to look at it as my new caloric goal for the day? If I eat the extra calories they reward me with, will I still lose weight? I really don't understand. I want to prime up my metabolism, if that's what that…

Anyone work out @ Flushing Meadows Rec. Ctr.?
Hi! My boyfriend and I just got memberships for the Flushing Meadows Rec Center, but he is mostly just interested in the pool. I would like to do some cardio and a little bit of lifting, too. If anyone is interested in being my gym buddy, please let me know. Thanks!
