Can't wait to be like you!! I bet you feel incredible!

My sister was diagnosed over 10 years ago. My aunt passed away from MS related complications and died around 70 after 15 years in a wheel chair. My sister has good and bad days, has tried all 3 meds without much luck. But she doesn't do her best to avoid trigger: stress, heat, sleep deprivation and diet. I know how you…

Thanks for the pics it really motivates to see how your belly has shrunk! I need this

I tried it, liked it. But I rinsed well, toasted then simmered with chicken broth and lots of veggies and just a bit of low sodium soy sauce. It's very filling so calories not worrisome. I little is all it takes to make a meal

Over medium and if they give you blank stare, they haven't waited tables long.

Been there. I'm new too, but this time is different. I'm not on a diet anymore. I'm just fed up, pun intended, with eating unhealthy foods and being fat. Try at first focusing on making a calorie deficit, then ease into healthier foods and maintaining the deficit in calories. Next try eliminating some of your empty high…

There are many articles about chickens gaining weight when given antibiotics. Do some searches on it, interesting and disturbing stuff. Made me finally jump on the organic bandwagon and open my eyes

Yummy I can't wait to try this

Omg you guys are all awesome with fantastic ideas! Thank you all so much

Pork, it's the other white meat! Just choose the leanest cuts. I've grown to like it better than chicken. I buy a whole pork tenderloin and have it sliced, then freeze in individual bags. I try to eat steak (sirloin) twice a week. The key is eating 4oz servings (size of your palm and not thick cut). I'm not a seafood…

Cucumber with spicy salsa?! Thank you so much for this idea! Missing chips and salsa the most, life altering tip you shared, thanks!

Thank you for sharing the pics. It's hard to visualize the end, but each of you help people like me see how 100lbs is like a new person standing in the mirror

I too have the same goal. I'm trying to lose 12lbs a month and I have lost my first 12 in less than 2 weeks. The key for me is to stay around 1300 cal or less. Lower healthy carbs, mostly from fruit. I try to have 25%carbs, 35% fat, 40% protein. I drink high protein shake for snacks or with veggies as a meal. I eat lots of…

Update: heartburn is gone. It's been one week. I'm taking a probiotic and eating lots of zucchini squash. Thank you

I'm in the same boat. So grossed out by my weight and overwhelmed at how much I must lose. I'm a week into it, I've lost 8.5 lbs total. I guessed on my starting weight, got a scale and found out I weighed 10lbs more than I thought (barf). So I'm almost back down to what I weighed six months ago. That made me realize I have…

I just ordered the Pilates video can't wait to try it out. Thank you

Thank you all for great suggestions

I have at least one every day, because I'm way to low on my protein. I'm avoiding high fat meats, due to cholesterol. I'm getting my fat with healthier options like avocados and nuts. If you are still hungry after 20 minutes of eating a meal, drink one and you will be full. I Like EAS chocolate, they are pretty good.…

High protein shakes with salads are very filling. You just have to get past the first couple days, and occupy your mind. I did a lot of reading, and stay busy. I'm day four and this is the first day I didn't wake up hungry! Quinoa is super filling. I made it risotto style loaded with veggies, I couldn't finish it.

I get on the scale everyday, not to see what I've lost but to see what I haven't gained. It reminds me of that if I don't eat healthy today, I will just keep gaining weight. We all want gastric bypass results, but have confidence that you have the willpower to to change your life. I'm doing lots of lean protein veggies…

I did just what you suggested. Thank you

Thank you all. I'm going to try a probiotic and adding some squash. I'm having lots of success losing weight by eating low carb so I'm not going to back to eating bread and such but I appreciate all the suggestions by everyone

Thank you but no to all. I appreciate the suggestions
