My Evil Doctor
I was recently diagnosed with occipital neuralgia and put on PT. In the meantime, I have been taking excedrine migraine to help with the pain. Well the pain decreased but the frequency has increased. When I went to the docs, he said I'm having rebound headaches and I have to stop taking the excedrine. I'm on day 4 and…

Breakdown at the gym
This morning I had a meltdown at the gym. My fiance and I are doing this together and I'm down 40lbs while D is down almost 50. Every day we go, I'm completely ignored while the ladies in class fawn over the great loss that D has had. Am I chopped meat? I get compliments from friends here and there but it really got me…

What do you categorize toning/sculpting in MFP online
We will be starting a class this week that is half zumba/half toning and sculpting. It will be a mixup of the two. I'm having a hard time figuring out what to put it in under in my exercise. We don't use the app (they want too much access to my phone) and you can't really add anything in here. What do you recommend I log…

How many more diseases can I get
As a fibro and endometriosis sufferer, this weight loss thing is a definite yo yo. I was just diagnosed with Occipital Neuralgia and I'm having a hard time with this. in addition, my savella isn't covered under my insurance for more than 6 prescriptions a year. WHAT? So I'm back on lexapro which is known to gain weight.…

Non nutty snacks
I love nuts as snacks or even peanut butter/almond butter. I believe my Zone bars have nuts in them too. Once I start back in my office in January, I have a coworker who has a severe tree nut allergy. I really like her as an employee so keeping her out of the hospital or having to jab an epi pen is the goal. I work an…

Pre-planning your day's meal
Do any of you preplan your day's meal to make sure you get enough calories? I just got back from a workout and had planned dinner but didn't put it in MFP. Now it's 8pm and even when I put in dessert, I'm shy calories. Just wondering what others do.

Stuck at Same Weight
For the past 6 weeks, I've been consistently losing 1-3 lbs per week. This week I had a 'cheat' meal on Saturday where I still stayed under my goal but was more sodium than I've been eating in a while (believe me, that Kaiser roll and blue cheese were worth it). I have not lost, in fact, gained about 1/4 lb this week.…

Losing weight but gaining inches???
I just did my weekly measurement check-in and am thrilled I lost 2 pounds this week. I definitely worked for it and happy that I'm a consistent loser in my journey. A few weeks ago, we started tracking measurements. My waist isn't budging and my hips got bigger!!!! I'm hoping this is a measuring error from last week to…

Sit Down Restaurant Meal Suggestions
We just walked out of Chili's at lunch today because even the 'healthy choice' menu items were loaded in sodium. The waitress told us we could get things unmarinated, etc but couldn't find anything worth it, or anything that we couldn't just make at home. We travel for business a few times a year and this gets tricky. I've…
