Guest guest Posted August 14, 2000 Report Share Posted August 14, 2000 Hello everyone, I just joined the group, my name is Chrissy, I'm 27, and married. I live with chronic pain with several disorders. I have glossopharyngeal neuralgia, it is neuralgia in the middle ear, throat, tonsil, and tongue. It is miserable. Then I have a female disorder callen vulvodynia, no cure, vulvodynia is chronic vulvar pain and discomfort. And I have interstitial cystitis, no cure. I am lucky to have a wonderful supportive and understanding husband which makes it easier to cope. I try to lead a normal life but sometimes the pain gets int he way. I hope to hear from everyone.

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2001 Report Share Posted June 27, 2001 Try cutting back on carbs for last two meals of the day. may help jump start the system. Do you take full advantage of the free days? have you had a week off from the gym and the diet? if not take one week off from the gym and try to eat sensibly, but try to throw your body a curve ball, your body is used to the diet and has hit dreaded plateauville and you need to do something to shake it up.

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2001 Report Share Posted June 27, 2001 To increase fat loss if you plateau Hussman recommends: " One of the best ways to kick-start your results from a plateau is to add a new aerobic exercise to your week " http://www.hussman.com/eas/ I've been running for most of my cardio but thanks to some recent posts I may look into getting a trainer for my mountain bike to mix things up a bit. That and I might try buying a jump rope (that's a small investment). --- curtis wrote: > My biggest frustration is that I have plateau. > Does anyone have any suggestions? __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
