Yes I love going to Pure Barre. I just wasn't sure if I should be adding a bunch of cardio or heavy weights. I have a lot more to lose so I was kinda reaching out

I answered on your other thread about your meds

Welbutrin should be helpful for weight loss. However Zoloft and Paxil are the two weight gainers of the antidepressants. Your GP if they are any good should be able to safely and slowly change meds. Do not go cold turkey off any meds, reducing gradually under supervision is best. Please be very careful and get good medical…

I have PCOS and Metformin is helpful as is intermittent fasting. IM actually helped me more then anything else. And exercise is also helpful along with lots of water

I was told I'd be dead by 50 like one of my grandmas. It still a struggle even knowing I could die if I don't do right

I use them also

A water fast doesn't mean no water as some here seem to think. It means no food and drinking lots of water. Just FYI

What is it?

He is 11 and wants to lose weight you said. So really I'd start with the Dr. and ask what his nutrition needs are first. Also you can't cut out all fun food. Remember lifestyle change, not diet. Now your parents should also be listening to him that he wants to lose weight. They should be taking him to the Dr. and learning…

So many things! But mostly to be at my high school reunion looking better then high school. Shopping for sexy clothes again. And getting off my diabetic meds and blood pressure meds

That's a lot of calories for most people. I guess just try it and see if you lose.

Eat how you can maintain for life. For me intermittent fasting is an easy way to live so far. It seems to be the only way for me after 20 years of trying everything else. No rules just do what works for you

If you are really logging accurately and exercising and not losing something else is happening. First be absolutely sure your logging correctly. If so you need metobolic testing to see what's going on physically

For machines the Nordick track freestyle is awesome. You can stair step and elliptical on one machine or straight up run on it. It burns way more calories then my treadmill with incline. Love my treadmill to but that freestyle on high resistance doing stairclimber makes for nice tight legs.

I have lupus and non of the special diets helped, tried lots. Exercise is what helps my inflamation like crazy

I'm so sorry that you have to go through that. But you need to tell him the house and kids are as much his responsibility as yours. So he can either switch off with you or both pay for someone helping around the house. That's that, do not settle for less then you deserve because he's selfish. He's not being a good guy by…

I now see why WW never worked for me. I now remember the fruit and veggies free for all then not being able to understand why the scale never moved

Pizza will always be my undoing! NY, Chicago etc I love pizza lol

I have lupus. I'm doing intermittent fasting for the last two weeks. I don't know if it's helping my lupus but I feel fantastic and I'm losing weight and have enough energy to exercise a lot! What type of fasting are they talking about? I only fast 16 hours out of 24

Has caffeine so can dehydrate you if it's all you drink. My mother in law got sick because it was all she was drinking. Just an FYI I'm not saying it's the only thing your drinking.

I keep having medication changes that do not help one bit.

People seriously if she changed salt and veggies and it helped so what? Obviously she was busting her *kitten* on top of that.

Believe it or not if you lose down to the lowest possible body fat skin pulls in. Most women can't do it so they elect surgery. The only way is really heavy weights.

No such thing as starvation mode. And yes everything weigh and measured. People have to stop thinking metobolic disorder doesn't exist. It's real folks

I just upped to 1600 we shall see what happens.

Well that's at 1000 calories per day and 12 hours of strength training and cardio a week. And MFP set my calories way higher then my actual burn. Had to get hoopla of tests etc

I only eat from 12 noon to 8 pm. Works great for me. Every other day thing I'm thinking about. Has anyone tried both? What can we expect to lose with every other day?

I only eat between 12 noon and 8 pm. Seems to be working for me so far. I didn't realize it was called intermittent fasting until I saw threads about it on MFP

All that matters is personal progression, not the charts.

I was holding 8 pounds of water from humidity once. The Dr took one look at me and prescribed water pills. That night I lost 8 pounds. For some people weather is an issue. It will drain without the pill too, just takes longer.
