Weigh ins.
So I'm on day 6 into this and I'm doing good. But I've decided that I will only be doing monthly weigh ins. In the past when I had tried to do this journey I tend to get a little scale obsessed, to the point I will weigh myself 8-10 times a day and if it goes up at all (which I know is totally normal) I will freak out and…

Thrive- Anyone doing it?
I tried the 3 day mini and just got my 30 day supply. It was great to help with my appetite control during the 3 days so I'm hoping it'll help with cravings and hunger along with sleep.

What does the word 'hunger' mean to you?
I have always thought that hunger was that grumbly feeling in your stomach where there's nothing in there, and it's rumbling and uncomfortable. But a few years ago someone told me that I could control hunger, and so I looked up the definition on line. Wikipedia said: "Hunger pangs The physical sensation of hunger is…

Hysterectomy, early menopause, and weight loss
I’m 36 and need a hysterectomy. Timing is up to me (within reason - should happen within next two years). I’d like to get it done sooner rather than later (I’ve already met my $7k deductible for the year with a surgery). It will be a total hysterectomy with taking both ovaries as well, so I’ll go into immediate menopause.…
