Clean your plate!?!?!
It was always engraved in my head to "clean your plate" as a kid - how do you undo this!?!? If I go out to eat, I'm going to eat my entire plate of food usually. If I eat til I'm satisfied, there's usually not enough left to make another meal out of it, and I end up eatting it. It's a bad habit. How do you undo this crap…

Puffy from Birth Control!?
Has anyone had any issues with bloating from a birth control pill? I began a new birth control pill with a higher level of hormones. If so, how many months did it take for your hormones to regulate and unbloat?

Ephedra

Live in the "NOW"
While I was letting my deep conditioner sit in my hair in the shower this morning, I thought to myself “Why do we feel we cannot do something nice for ourselves until we reach certain weight loss goals?" I don't think it is necessarily the most positive thing to feel we are not worthy of pampering ourselves until we've…

Guided VS Custom

The reason I ask is because my BMR is 1878 (I had this done by a professional in a lab) and know I should not be going under my BMR. The custom calorie intake suggested was 1400 calories. I went to college for for…

SOUL
I heard this today and thought it was a good question to start share. And the question is ... What are you doing to feel your SOUL? Sometimes its easy to forget life is so much more when we are busy, stressed, frusterated, or focused on one thing and not the big picture. Hope everyone has a beautiful day!

AM vs PM workouts
I cannot workout at the end of the day. After a long day of chaos, the last thing I want to do is workout. I'm going to have to make myself get up in the morning and hit the gym. Do you workout in the AM or PM's? If you workout in the morning... What motivates you in the morning to get your workout in? How long did it take…

Anti-Depressants
Has anyone ever gotten off or tried to get off their anti-depressants. I talk Welbutrin (an extremely mild med used for anxiety &/or depression). Any advice? I dont want to take a pill my whole life. I don't want to talk to my DR about this b/c I feel like many DR's are all about medicating. I want to look more to natural…
