about 5 years ago, I tried phentermine for about a week. but the dry mouth was so very severe for me. also I didn't poop the entire week! I stopped using it, but was thankfully able to control what I ate without it and lost about 60 lbs. I'm very happy for you and your success. I know how great you must be feeling🥰…

I wouldn't mind doing something like this. I'll have to think on mine. I need a little self care right now!

first, let me say im sorry for what you are going through. for your question, I have a question of my own. what is your weekly goal set at? .5 lb? 1? 2? the reason I ask is bc you say you are only going a little over the limit. if your cal limit is set at .5 lb, you don't have as much leeway to go over your calories and…

thank you, I will do that. I can see how that would be helpful

thank you

incredible story! so happy for you for all reasons.... Weight loss, no meds, no pain or numbness, and everything else you mentioned.

maybe doing planks using the knees. sit ups/crunches. btw, are you still in a cast?

great job!

you look great☺ way to go!

you SHOULD be proud!!! there's nothing dumb about this amazing progress!

awesome!!! you look great!!

that's awesome!!!

congrats on your loss!! keep it up!

you're doing a great job! you should be proud of yourself!!

im glad you didn't listen to her. and yes, the things she suggested were NOT good ideas at all. regardless of how slowly you lose weight, you're doing it the right way which will most likely lead to keeping it off. there is no quick fix and you obviously already know that. so good for you!!

that's great!!! you look amazing!!!

I had lost a bunch of weight about 4 years ago and I was able to shop in the regular sized clothes. omg!! you are right, it's like a whole world of options opened up! it was actually FUN to go shopping. I have since gained my weight back, but I'm back on track now to get back down to the smaller clothes I had bought. as…

me too!!

I agree with Kathryn, if you log it in and stay under your calories, you'll be fine. but drink in moderation bc you are drinking your calories which doesn't help satisfy your hunger. we all hear that each gram of carbs and protein has 4 calories and each gram of fat has 9. but each gram of alcohol has 7 calories and there…

not my main reason... just more of an added benefit I guess you could say. but I don't want to feel ashamed of myself when I run into people I knew in high school. especially ex bf's. i can hear their thoughts now..." damn! i used to DATE HER?? YUCK!"

it happens. first few lbs seem to come off so easily. then bam... nothing. just keep being consistent with your logging, exercise, calorie intake control, and the scale will start moving again.

I definitely need motivation and support. I added you. and if anyone else wants to add me, please feel free to do so!

yes! I need more friends!

ive sent friend requests! I was inactive for a while and now that I'm back, most have deleted me or aren't very active. I need some supportive active friends. it really does make a difference!

WOO HOO!!! I will definitely celebrate with you! I don't care if you have 500 more lbs to lose, 55 is an awesome start! I'm glad you posted this so that you could hear some positive feedback on your accomplishment. good support makes all the difference. and I agree with a few earlier comments... buy that smaller pair of…

correct!
