Welcome!
I'm also a member of the Christians Unite group, but I know there's sometimes a difference in perspective, as well. This group is NOT to go against the Christian group - I see it as more of a supplement. =)

Paleo/Primal: Yay or Nay?
About a year ago I really started getting into learning how different foods affect your moods. Then, though, I went to Spain: land of endless carbs. While I've had a great experience overall, I won't pretend that my moods haven't been a little more - er, unstable - since I got here... The past week I've started to think…

The Scale: Friend or Foe?
I'm currently doing a semester in Spain, and just before leaving I was becoming slightly obsessed with the scale. I weighed myself every day, sometimes multiple times a day, just to see the fluctuations. Before leaving the country, though, I resolved to not weigh myself for the 6 months that I'd be here, only bringing a…

Mac vs. PC?
I've been a PC since my family got our first Dell about 10 years ago. I currently have a Dell laptop (Inspiron 1525) that I've loved to bits for a little over three years, but it simply isn't what it used to be. I tried reformatting the hard drive this summer to try to clean it up a bit, and it helped but definitely didn't…

Can't Sleep?
I don't know if this is weight-loss related or not, but the past few nights in a row I've woken up really early in the morning, hungry. At first it wasn't so bad - 5am, 4am - but this time it's 2:30am. Definitely not normal. Is it possible that, after working out daily for a month, my metabolism has sped up or something?…

My Mom's NSV =)
This morning I was getting ready to work out in the basement with some DVDs, and Mom said she'd work out upstairs (she likes to walk in place while watching TV). She's recently started doing this for about an hour a day, and has been caught saying things like "I need to get my hour in." So today, after we finished working…

Strange NSV, but I'll take it!!
A few of my friends have decided to participate in National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) this year, so I decided I would, too. For those of you who know nothing about it, the goal is to write a 50,000 word novel by writing an average of 1667 words every day of November. (nanowrimo.org) ANYWAYS, I've been plugging away…

Dairy Free = Acne Free?
Over the past week I was staying with my grandparents in Minnesota. My grandpa is a now-retired doctor, and before I left he asked me, "What's this on your face? Is this acne? And on the other side, too?" I said it was, and he asked me if I wanted to know how to get rid of it. Like anyone who has acne, I said yes. He told…
