Paragard Anyone?
Does anyone here have Paragard? If so, have you experience any side effects? (cramps, heavy bleeding, spotting) I'm thinking of switching back to non-hormonal birth control (used to do NFP/BBT). I am back on the pill now, but every kind I try causes me to swell up like a water balloon! Any information would be great! Also,…

Now I'm looking for more friends who are dedicated and preferably have open food journals :) I'm 20 years old, 5'7 and currently 150 pounds. My goal is not to lose anymore weight, but…

Who's good with HRM's?
I recently got the Polar F4 and I have a question... Today I wore it at the gym while I ran for 30 minutes. I burned 313 calories and thought "I'll leave it on while I go grocery shopping quick just to see what happens." My heart rate stayed slightly above 100 during my walk/jog through Walmart and I ended up burning over…

Am I starving?
Hey everyone! I have a quick question.. I'm basically just wondering if this has happened to anyone else, or specifically females on here. I have an appointment with my gyno on the 10th, but I've been having some weird stuff going on. I've been adhering to a 1200 calorie diet since April (on and off a bit) and have lost 35…

Milk Alternatives
Hey Everyone! I need some opinions. I have never been much of a milk drinker because it has always made my stomach a little uncomfortable. Lately, though, I've been trying to drink more milk with cereal, coffee, etc. simply for the protein and calcium. I have had absolutely horrible stomach problems which are also lactose…

NSV-Old clothes are wayy too big!
A couple of months ago I went through my clothes with a fine tooth comb and got rid of things that were either old and I didn't like, or old (from my sophomore year of high school) that I thought would never fit again, even though I was already started on my weight loss journey. Some of the clothes were sold on a rummage…
