If you don't fix the reason why you overeat a surgery won't help. I started at 280. It's been 101 days and I'm down to 225. You don't need surgery.. especially if you've lost weight the healthy way before. You can do it again

It's normal. I've lost about 55 and I still see myself at the higher weight. Even with my clothes falling off and fitting into slightly smaller ones I don't see a difference in the mirror. I take weekly pictures so I compare them often hoping that my brain will make the connection. Did you take photos to compare prior to…

Yeah that part doesn't make much sense. They could be using her assets against her if she owns a vehicle or has money in a checking account? How do you pay for rent/utilities/etc if you are unemployed? I do hope you find a job soon! Grocery shopping can be daunting when you're trying to eat healthier and don't have a lot…

Chicken breasts and thighs are usually under 1.99 a pound and I buy a large bag of frozen vegetables that is under 4.00. I don't eat a lot of breads or carbs but they're a good idea if you aren't able to eat your calories with just meat and vegetables. You can add olive oil to the vegetables to add more fat and calories. I…

I believe all of the states in the US have income cutoffs whether you are a single parent or not

It's so close!! Congratulations! It's been 8+ years since I have been under 200lbs.. I am sure you will be absolutely tickled :) Do a happy dance, scream and cry if you'd like. You can do it!

I found it very expensive and didn't provide good results. My Curves actually scolded me for having a higher heart rate during my work out. They didn't want us to sweat. It was awkward. I went with my mom as a teen.. they limited us to 3 visits per week. Overall just odd. The machines only had one resistance. It may have…

I promise you didn't kill it. I have been at it 3 months, down 52lbs and holy sheeeet I feel like I have cheat meals every other day... I had Mexican AND Chinese food this week and didn't weigh to log it. I just drank extra water to help with the water weight.. and yes. My weight went up 6lbs and stayed for 4 days. Now I…

I have been obese the majority of my life.. 148lbs when I was a 4th grader.. wearing size 14 womens in 3rd grade, etc. I got to 250 then 200 before with 0 loose skin at age 18. Then at age 24 (now) I got to 280 and I am a little under 230 with 0 loose skin. I am anticipating my loose skin won't show until I get around…

Measurements of your body. There was a point I stayed the same weight for about a week and a half but my clothes fit a LOT better. I didn't take actual measurements but I know despite no movement on the scale that my body was improving.
-
Do you use a food scale to weigh and MFP to track every thing you eat every day? Weight loss isn't linear... in the beginning my weight would go down 2lbs.. up 3.. down 4.. up 2.. down 5, etc. During my last menstrual cycle I gained 9lbs overnight.. I weigh myself twice a day. Do you take measurements? I also have PCOS (as…

I took them for about 5 months and nothing happened for me. Was also taking them with green coffee bean extract.. and it just was a waste of $40, in my opinion.

I am hypo and only when my levels were corrected was I able to drop weight in a healthy manner. I have no thyroid and take 300mcg of levo and 50mg of cytomel each day along with 10k vitamin D. My levels were in the 150.00-275.00 for over 3 years which caused a host of other health issues.

Your skin is absolutely flawless! I am jealous

I only log when my weight is at least 0.2 down. I do not log my weight that fluctuates up. I gain and lose upwards of 9 pounds a week for a net loss of anywhere from 1.5lbs-3lbs
-
I don't log water but I do log everything else I eat.. even if I take a bite of a snack my son has I try to calculate how many calories it may have. I have been made fun of for logging a single almond or single m&m but it just works for me :smile: not everyone is the same and I don't have expectations for what others…

I take celexa 40 and wellbutrin xl 300... I feel they work best together for me. Wellbutrin kicked all the negative side effects I had with celexa and celexa killed the heightened anxiety wellbutrin gave me. Celexa absolutely killed my sex drive and wellbutrin alone made it out of control. I'm not suggesting to ask for…

Keeping your skin moisturized definitely will not hurt! Stretch marks doesn't necessarily mean you'll always have loose skin... a few of my friends gain and lost a bit of weight (50+) with pregnancy and while they do have stretch marks their loose skin is minimal. Strength training can help minimalize the look of loose…

I loooooooooooooooooooove Diet A&W.. 'Diet Snapple Peach' which has 10cals.. and sugar free red bull which is also 10 cals. Pepsi max is great and I am usually a coke kind of girl
-
My goal is 110-125lbs for being 5'5. I am like 100 pounds away from it, hah. Lost almost 50 so far
-
When I overeat I just take away 100-200 calories per day until I even it out for the week.

I had a bad side effects from Depo which included my entire endocrine system screwing up and it also caused ulcers in my stomach. I have thyroid cancer (no thyroid now, take pills) and it caused mal-absorption of my pills which caused a huge list of problems. I gained 60lbs in under 2 months and only received one…

I actually picked up smoking when I started losing weight, it's only been two weeks since I began smoking but still, ugh.. when I get cravings for food I just go smoke. I do notice food doesn't taste as lovely. I likely will quit cold turkey and increase my water intake to take my mind off cravings.

As long as you aren't feeling sick/weak/lethargic/etc fasting is okay. I work day and night.. I get hungry after my day work out but after my night I don't have an appetite at all.

I lost 26-30lbs by 6 weeks but I had over 170 pounds to lose. Even 20+lbs in 6 weeks is a bit much as a goal. My actual goal was to lose 25lbs in 13 weeks or 3 months.
