Adderall??? (sp)
Good Morning!! I have a question for you all. Is anyone out there on Adderall prescribed from their doctor?? I am, it's all in accordance to my treatment for my PCOS issues, etc. Anyhow, everyone says it helps you lose weight, but I don't think it's done that for me. I still diet and exercise every single day, regardless…

If you have a super busy day, doing physical things like cleaning, shopping, etc...... do you still officially work out???

Hello Everyone!! My name is Michele, I'm 37, and just started using this site last week. I have never been good at writing down what I eat, but with MFP, so far so good!!!!
