Okay, I really need some help....
So far I have lost 11 pounds (although I know the last week or so I've gained a few back), and I'm really proud of myself. But lately, I have found it really hard to stay motivated to eat right and exercise as often as I used to. If I have a cheat day, I will always say "oh tomorrow I'll start eating right again" and it…

Is it so wrong?
Recently my doctor put me on a medicine called Topamax. She prescribed it to me for migraines. Not only does this medicine work great (as I have not even had a tinge of a headache) but it also decreases your appetite. SO, since my doctor put me on it in April, I've lost 9lbs, which is great. The problem is, when I went to…
