Anyone here with Lupus? I've just been diagnised and have been planning on starting a family......now I'm not so sure. Thanks!

Thank you for your reply, but unfortunately I don't take any medications other than Tavist Sinus about once a month, and I've been taking this for years, with problems in my white blood count now. I did see a oncologist yesterday and he ran more blood tests, so in about 1 week I should know...

I am wondering if anyone knows anything about Leukopenia (low white blood cells/immune system), such as how to correct it? Thanks. : )

I agree, I also wear Nike walkers for everything except running. Love em!!

For someone who is only a B cup, you shoudl be more than happy to have a C. It is nice to get compliements, but wouldn't you rather be told you have a nice waist or butt?? Do you really want people staring into your chest as they talk to you? And, remember all of the health risks that come...

I simply eat healthy with lo carbs all day and eat a normal portion sized dinner. No second helpings (except for veggies if I am low on calories that day) and no bread. You can also check out www.allrecipes.com, they have a lot of different recipes to choose from. They also have just added a...

RE: I heard they went under I may just be imagining this, but I thought I had read that Fit magazine is now called Health & Fitness. (Not Health - it's a different magazine).

You can also try eating small meals every three hours, keeping your sugar levels normal and cravings basically nonexistent. Keep a can of Planter's Mixed Nuts (very filling, and a source of good fat - something you need), protein bars, and more veggies instead of fruit. Eat only 1 serving at...

I eat every three hours. If I wait for my stomach to growl, I am usually light headed and on my way to getting sick to my stomach.

RE: Not one for Bars or Replacement Drinks.... I have to agree with CledaB, I think the only way to feel full by eating a protein bar is to drink a ton of water. I drink about 1 gallon a day and can only eat 1/2 of a bar usually. I like MetRx ?.... (it's not the long heavy bar, but a square...

Why not read them all? I have subscriptions to Muscle & Fitness Hers, Oxygen and Walking, but I also read every issue (thanks to my library) of Runner's World, Shape, Health, Fitness and Muscle & Fitness. You get great information from all of them and pictorial motivation. A lot of them do...

RE: shorter workout tapes I prefer The Firm "Tough Cardio Mix", The Firm "Hare Workout", Tae-Bo Advanced, or Stephanie Steele's Cardio Kickboxing.

Sorry I can't help you with your question. I do have a HR Monitor, but unfortuately, it does not tell me how many calories I burn, just my heart rate and time. I am hoping someone can answer your question though, to help us both. Also, if anyone knows, is there anyway to guage how many...

RE: I'm bad :) Help! I know this probably isn't the best advice anyone can give......but you will only change your eating habits when you REALLY want to. I too, when younger, ate only junk food and snacked all day, and even though I still was skinny - it caught up with me! About 1 year after...

Well, officially a woman's hormones do change every seven years, so that may be the culprit, BUT one little candybar or brownie WILL NOT KILL YOU, I promise!! About a week before my period, I know that if I don't eat somethign rich and chocolatey (no matter how many calories) that I will in...
