Jodi- this pill sounds great! But, what happens after you stop using it? would you go back to you'r disorder?

greekblondechic · 04-10-2004, 08:48 AM

Great article Jilly!!! It makes me really excited that I should be starting CBT soon.. and it mentions my school!

RUTGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jill · 04-10-2004, 09:18 AM

Thanks for the info Jodie-I havent read it all yet. Can this be bought in stores?

Fitgirl70 · 04-10-2004, 09:27 AM

Jill.....how are you this morning? What's on the agenda for the weekend?

atherjen · 04-10-2004, 09:31 AM

I was taking 5-HTP for a while to aid in sleep and relax more.. it defintly helps!!

JLB001 · 04-10-2004, 09:40 AM

You should be able to buy it in stores. Craig said GNC sells it.
I haven't tried it, so I am not sure if the disorder would come back. I know with me, once I cut sugar out, I don't really crave it anymore.

Jill · 04-10-2004, 09:49 AM

Hey Fitgirl-I work today then have the next 3 days off!

I dont know what Im gonna do with myself-ive never had 3 days off in a row unless Im gone on holidays! Granny's tomorrow

, planning to have a tiny cheat MEAL, thats all. Not a cheat day

AJ-can you buy 5-htp in stores?

Thats what Im trying to do first. I dont want to resort to pills unless it absolutely necessary.

Fitgirl70 · 04-10-2004, 10:02 AM

I hear ya....I had a cheat meal last night, well kinda, I tried to have quesadillas, but the tortilla wasn't crispy so I picked out the chicken and steak.....I did eat some of the rice and beans though....to be honest, it wasn't really good

I just talked with my gf who was on the same program as me for months, and said that I can switch the protein into diff meals, as long as I get the proper ratios of protein cals and carb cals in the day!! No more 8oz of chicken at once for me!

atherjen · 04-10-2004, 04:04 PM

awesome! I didnt think it would be too much of a prob as long as it was still the same daily totals!

how have you been doin today girl?

Jill · 04-10-2004, 05:03 PM

Great, I like eating clean!

Thanks for asking sweets!

JLB001 · 04-10-2004, 05:08 PM

Jillie! Great about being able to move things around. Should help on the feeling so bloated and full!

Jill · 04-10-2004, 05:21 PM

My gf said the totals cals in are the main thing. Im gonna e-mail them to be 100% sure next week. This is just such a relief.

Dont ya all think spliting the protein would be better anywase???????????

atherjen · 04-10-2004, 05:40 PM

Yah I do!! it would be much more balanced throughout your meals!

Jill · 04-11-2004, 08:58 AM

Hey peeps!

I need some advice, I think I walk like a complete idiot. Ever sice Ive been powerwalking on an incline I get these incredibly HUGE blisters on my heals. I ususallly then take a couple of days off of pw, and then when I start to pw again I just create another blister! Last night I went walking outside, 50mins, NO incline, and the blisters I have NOW are huge, and hurt like hell. I just put on 3 bandaids (on each heel) and am off to do cardio, the CT cause walking hurts! Any opinions or advice?

greekblondechic · 04-11-2004, 09:01 AM

Do your sneakers fit right sweetie?

Jill · 04-11-2004, 09:05 AM

Happy easter all! Someone eat some chocolate for me!!!

Jill · 04-11-2004, 09:06 AM

Greeky, they all fit right, I think I just walk like a weirdo or something

sara · 04-11-2004, 09:19 AM

Jill- do they allow you to eat protein bars?

greekblondechic · 04-11-2004, 09:21 AM

I doubt it, altho you can ask a friend's opinion. Most likely it's because of the incline, and of course if you already have blisters its really easy to get more even if you are not on an incline. Try letting them heal, then walking withOUT incline to see what happens. If the blisters return, then its not the incline. But I have a feeling that it is. Let them heal completely tho!!!!

I highly doubt it. I dont eat em anywase!

Greeky-I am taking a break from the incline.

**Jodi** · 04-11-2004, 11:54 AM

It's your sneakers. Just because you feel that they fit right doesn't mean they fit well enough for fast paced incline walking, running or jogging.

I've used this site in the past to find out what fits right and it. I didn't buy them there though, too expensive.

sara · 04-11-2004, 11:55 AM

Jill- My trainer told me I can eat anything I want, only need to stay with my calories .. I'm going to ask him if protein bars are ok for some snacks (SOMETIMES)

Jill · 04-11-2004, 11:57 AM

Thanks Jodi! Having any treats today?

Jill · 04-11-2004, 11:59 AM

Protein bars are full of crap IMO sara. Id rather eat REAL food!!

I have a GREAT game plan today people. Im going to Grannys for easter din. Im planning to have my huge p shake with berries and milk b4 I go, that way I wont be able to eat much cause I'll be too full! Smart eh?

sara · 04-11-2004, 12:01 PM

Very smart Jill

just make sure you won't eat

I know Protein bars are full of crap, but they better than eating out or eating unhealthy candy bars
