I'm doing well now. My feet still get sore at night and hurt sometimes during work outs but they're much better. I'm just starting to get back on track as of this week. I also just realized myself that I was using my surgery as an excuse. Sometimes you just need a slap in the face or come to terms with the fact that it's…

I would like to at least try it!! I had three surgeries on my feet in the past year so lunges may be hard with the way my foot would bend but I'll definitely try! And if I can't do that I'll substitute for something else :)

To add to what I was saying, it's hard to start over. It's easy to use surgery as an excuse because no one will blame you for it. However, I found that my shorts from last summer during my first surgeries don't fit me anymore. That's a motivator. Also I had my surgery on my feet because I could no longer exercise with…

Yes, I've tried talking to him about it and he totally understands. It's just I always have the fact that I know he likes me how I am now to fall back on as an excuse to not take it 100% seriously which really sucks. I almost wish he had told me I'm fat because at least that would motivate me

Thank you!! That helps a lot

I'm in the exact same position. Two foot surgeries this time last year. Another one in December. Recently cleared to exercise due to heart problems as well. I've never been so out of shape :( I have a lot of muscle still aside from that which atrophied from not being able to walk for three months so I don't necessarily…

Then you have absolutely nothing to lose as long as it's healthy for you :)

It's important that your partner is attracted to you. However, if you don't want to do it for yourself at all, it may make you feel resentment towards him for it. But if losing the weight will help your health, it can only help.

People like different things. I have to take about ten pills a day for medical reasons. I'd rather drink an overpriced shake than add another pill to that list. If you're looking to get some good nutrients, don't want to take a pill, like the taste, And the price isn't an issue for you, it won't hurt you. But if the price…

I totally agree. I never said you need it. Do I think it has some type of nutritional value, yes. But like I said its nothing you can't get from other products for a better price.

I never said you couldn't find it elsewhere. I also never said its crucial for someone with celiac. I actually was saying the opposite. But to say it does nothing for you and is only a marketing scheme seems inaccurate to me because it does contain good ingredients. It is definitely a marketing scheme but it also has some…

Also, while thyroid medicine does help that. I couldn't get to my doctor for about a week for a higher prescription and shakeology did give me energy for that amount of time. It has natural energy boosters. Now do I think you can find sources of energy in other products or naturally? Yes. Do I think shakeology benefitted…

It has ingredients that are natural nutrients that give you energy. It may be a marketing scheme in the fact that it's not worth what it costs but there's no denying that the ingredients will do good things for you and give you energy. As far as celiac goes I don't risk eating or drinking products that may have cross…

I actually really liked shakeology. It gave me the energy I needed to get through my work outs (I have hypothyroidism and a heart condition so that's not always easy) but it also made me crash afterward. The greenberry one is my favorite. However, it has gluten in it. I found out I have celiac and stopped eating gluten…

I don't need to lose 100 lbs but if some of you would like to add me it would really motivate me to keep up with my own goal of losing about 50 lbs.

I'm right there with you. This summer I haven't even put on shorts once :( I don't look overweight but the scale says otherwise. So does the cellulite.

I had surgery this time last year and gained almost 20 lbs since then because I could not even walk for half the year. I'm so upset with my body and it's gotten to the point where I just didn't care anymore. Especially because I have an extremely attractive boyfriend who loves me for me. But now I want him to be able to…
