I've contemplated doing truly morbid things because I'm disgusted with myself. I used to be so beautiful and now I'm fat and invisible. I don't even believe that I can lose the weight anymore.

No, I have a friend, whom I work long hours with, that is doing a religious fast. She's had some hostility recently and I wanted to join her as a show of support. I don't, however, want to back track on the progress I've already made by going off my current meal plan.. Before talking with her about it, I wanted to see if…

It's religious, not weight loss related.

I just don't want her to be the odd one out.. I don't want it to backfire and make me gain what I've already lost, either..

She's doing so for religious reasons.

My scale probably is off. I drink a lot of water each day. More than half my weight in ounces and yesterday I was more thirsty after our meal. I started to get serious ... again.. first week of August. I'm down 12lbs not taking into account these 2lbs. I have a 35lb weight loss goal. That will put me back into a healthy…

oh yes, I've fractured my femur and hyper extended my knee. I'm very clumsy and I get hurt a lot.

Sorry for the delayed reply. I wear Nike Free shoes. I prefer being barefoot and they're very light weight. I will definitely look into others though. I think part of the issue I'm having is that I have high arches that collapse. My ankles sort of turn in. The area hurting is called peroneal? I am very surprised to see…

Thanks everyone. I may be more confused than before... carbs... diabetes... ahh. Yes, she did react to the bread from my sandwich. I think she'd have me drinking protein shakes with almond milk and eating plain, skinless, chicken breast each day. I do like my protein shakes, and don't want to stop those. But I feel I'm on…

Well, more so not to eat too many veggies. She says I should be eating or drinking protein and having very few carbs. I added a banana to my protein shake, for flavor and because I was getting leg cramps, she told me it was wasted calories and not a significant source or potassium... and too much sugar.

What does the ignore button do? If you do not like MY post then stay off of it.

I'll gain the weight back... if I eat it back. I gained the weight with pregnancy and breastfeeding. I haven't not, not been pregnant or breastfeeding in almost 5 years, I don't know that my appetite will be crazy without those factors. You don't know my work out routine. You don't know what my diet consists of. So, maybe…

It's not really sticking my head in the sand, I just think people are quick to complain. I was on the max dose of gabapentin and people love to talk smack about that one but I had no major side effects for a year. Not interested in the our "yelp" culture with pharmaceuticals.

With every drug there are people telling horror stories. Go to a mom forum and talk about zofran and you'd think you're taking crack or something by their response. Ask about birth control options. I traded migranes for sleepy feet. Good trade! Low does Topamax paired with Phentermine is FDA approved for weightloss. I…

I guess I'll updalte in a month. I am not going above 100 mg, its not necessary.
