Fitness	30 Day Shred	May 02 2008 13:13 (UTC)	36
wow! I just started this on april 30..im on my third day...I AM SORE! I work out for almost 2 hours at the gym everyday ..on various cardio machines and NOTHING compares to the burn I felt with this in just 20 minutes. I guess less sometimes is more?! So .like tracy, i'm going to do level 1 for 10 days, level 2 for 10 days and level 3 for 10 days, and see where i'm at when thats over. I cant imagine I wont be shredded ( unless I eat 5000 calories a day or something) yay for jillian!
Health & Support	anorexia = hair growth?	Apr 25 2008 19:14 (UTC)	5
try cutting out foods that boost testosterone levels, like peanut butter, nuts and high glycemic carbs. All of us, well most of us, are blessed with the lovely peach fuzz but if its starting to grow in thicker, coarser or darker, it probably has something to do with your hormones. you can always get rid of it by way of nair, laser, electrolysis, etc. but its best to find out why its changing in the first place. I say, no offense because you aren't significantly overweight, try loosing 10 or so lbs. you will be amazed on the difference it has in your hormones, make sure you are eating a very healthful and balanced diet including lean proteins, complex carbs, and lots of veggies and fruits. cut out processed items too. I bet if you try all this, your fuzz will no longer come in dark. but the problem is getting rid of the already dark fuzz..nair! Hope i helped ya!

Health & Support	Painful bump on the back of my neck	Dec 16 2007 18:05 (UTC)	5
i have this - sometimes doctors call it a buffalo hump which is a fatty deposit at the top of your spine, but mines not fat its bony, alot of times people with certain disorders like cushings or pcos will get this fatty deposit due to the excess cortisol production in their body which places fat in abnormal areas. but like i said, mine isnt fat and i've actually had it since i was really young, like younger than 10 i'd say. my dad has it and do does everyone on his side of the fam. lately though, it has been hurting me, so im kind of thinking about going to the doc and getting a mri or catscan of my spine to see if something more serious is going on, can't hurt right? i am a professional hypochondriac though, so i'm not sure my dr will go along with this but, i'm giving it a try. good luck and i hope i helped somehow..

Health & Support	does anyone take/ or have taken Zoloft?	Sep 15 2007 17:13 (UTC)	11
ok my question is...if I continue working out and eating healthy ..can I still gain? I have heard that it doesn't matter if you eat less or more healthy than before you were on it..your body act differently and you gain weight. I know it affects the hormones and your metab. but if I decrease my calories..wont that be sufficient to not gain?
Fitness	who here thinks working out everyday is a waste of time?	Sep 11 2007 22:43 (UTC)	2

Health & Support	low blood pressure	Sep 11 2007 11:42 (UTC)	1
i have low blood pressure also...my doctor didnt seem too worried when she saw this though. Its not uncommon for very atheltic and anorexic/bulemic folk to have a low Bp..i'm not anorexic or bulemic by any means but I work out intensely 7 days a weak for at least 1hr so ..it does lower bp. i wouldnt worry too much about it. just be sure shes taking in adequate nutrition.

this is an odd question to ask.. i think a more appropriate one would be listing everything you ate and then asking us...

Weight Loss	eating before bed.	Aug 01 2007 03:42 (UTC)	3
as long as you are within your calorie range for the day go ahead
Health & Support	.. is this bad?! (huge breakfast, then not much the rest of the day)	Aug 01 2007 03:04 (UTC)
eat small meals throughout your day and stop eating at 5 pm. and make sure each meal has a small amount of complex carbs, protein and some veggie or fruit. its not hard to do and if you stop eating at 4 or 5, depending on when you go to bed, you will probably have that hungry feeling you love. you arent helping yourself by only eating breakfast, thats not smart.

Fitness	Walking/running on an incline.. effects on legs & bum??	Jul 29 2007 15:08 (UTC)	2
I have always been told that using the incline on the treadmill will make your butt stronger and lift it. Now, if you butt is mostly fat, the treadmill will make the underlying muscle stronger and probably give it a better shape but I do not believe it will make it smaller. God I hope it doesnt bc I use the incline everyday in hope of making my small butt ..well...bigger, and who knows it its doing anything but hopefully, it can't hurt. i would suggest jogging or even running to lean out the legs and preserve the butt. jogging overall is such a great workout and it gets the legs in tip top shape.

Fitness	stairmaster??	Jul 23 2007 20:45 (UTC)	6
i do the stairmaster ( well..i started doing it 3 times a week about a month ago) and my thighs well, legs as a whole got wayy thinner. ( which i didnt want because they are think to begin with) so..thats weird. haha yeah..thats my two sense.
Fitness	flat bum	Jul 23 2007 20:13 (UTC)	7
hahaha cottage cheese look..i love it. i have it too, jeez. what gives lord, what gives?
Fitness	flat bum	Jul 23 2007 20:06 (UTC)	10
oh boy... I. my friend...am the queen of complaining when it comes to my butt. its flat and small and i HATE IT. my entire family has the same rear and it saddens me. but i am trying to do squats with a barbell every other day, along with about 3 miles a day jogging ( sometimes on an incline sometimes not, depends on if i feel up to it.) i do the stairmaster too and lunges with dumbells. i've been doing this for a few weeks and i can say i have seen a little improvement shape wise but i defintiely have no bootay yet. try some deadlifts and squats for a good month and keep staring at your butt till you see some results!
Fitness	stairmaster	Jul 23 2007 02:43 (UTC)	4
yay!! i just started doing squats with the barbell at the gym about 2 weeks ago..hopefully a sexy bum awaits me. well..if not sexy..at least some shape
Weight Loss	I binged yesterday--	Jul 23 2007 02:39 (UTC)	4
i love the harshness haha, its so true though.. so many people post here complaining about eating one too many handfuls of popcorn or something retarded like that.. ( sorry if I offend someone during this rant) and it really irks me. dont call it a binge because its just not a binge. If you were a literal binge eater ( and I am. well, recovering ) you would get pissed off at a comment like that. you cant control your binging. its just something that happens, repeatedly. and it sucks but you can overcome it if you really really try. but my point is this..maybe people should a) stop posting about a woe of binging unless you ate 5 pizzas and a cake by yourself in 2 hours. OR go to some pro-ana site so they can tell you what to do. this site is truly helpful and everyone who contributes to it is helpful but its not comforting when people post about eating a few hundred cals over and start crying about because if you really understood calorie counting and the science behind it..you wouldnt worry because you knew you'd be alright and tomorrow is a new day to (not starve yourself) but get on the right track.
Weight Loss	I binged yesterday--	Jul 22 2007 22:30 (UTC)	10
it sounds like you planned a binge? that makes no sense.. your 'binge' was probably not as bad as you make it out to be. you're fine, just it clean for a few days
Fitness	stairmaster	Jul 22 2007 22:28 (UTC)	8
I use the stair master alot, in hopes of creating some sort of shape to my flat rear... i have really toned legs already so I don't know if the stairmaster encouraged this or not... but im sure it doesnt hurt in creating nice legs
