  • Thanks! I did great for 3 days then made chili with what j thought was all gluten free. I must've had a spice that wasn't GF because I spent time in the bathroom, was so bloated I was gonna pop, and heartburn. Never again. I can't believe I used to live like that every day! Wow! I can see a difference now.

  • I have a suggestion for you, something you can try. I drink 2 tsps of raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar a day. I drink the Braggs brand and pour it in my glass of orange juice.

  • Thank you! I'm truly clueless in all aspects. I have quite a few friends who had the surgery and all said they would do it again in a heartbeat. I'm nervous and excited at the same time because I haven't been thin since the 3rd grade! What will it be like??? Wow! And thank you for reminding me that surgery is a tool…
    in Trying to lose to avoid bariatric surgery Comment by MBentley79 December 2015
  • I'm actually going through the process for surgery now. Bariatric. And I don't want to. I thought I was just seeing a great nutritionist but turns out it's for surgery.

  • We are in this journey together. The way I look at it is if I fail I start over regardless of how many times, even in the same day. DON'T GIVE UP! I've been trying to lose weight for years but nothing ever stuck. I did it all for the wrong reasons. Now I'm doing it for me. And I've only just begun. I started this app on…
