  • I was so a Diet Mountain Dew Girl. Had to have some in the morning, noon and night. I figured... it's diet. ZERO calories. What's the harm?? Then I had some great friends do a 30 day, no soda challenge. I accepted. Within a week, I could totally tell a difference. That was back in April of this year. I haven't drank a soda…

  • Well, this Monday I went in and got the first iron infusion. By Wednesday feeling fantastic. I go for my second one next Monday. I've already dropped over a pound since Tuesday. So, I can see and feel my metabolism has improved.

  • I talked to my RA doctor about it. She explained iron creates the oxygen for cells, the oxygen is what you need to speed up your metabolism. No iron = No oxygen to cells = no metabolism = NO WEIGHT LOSS. I went today for my bloodwork, I find out next week if I need the infusions. I'm 95% sure it's a yes. It's just going to…

  • I took that profile pic like 5 months ago. Around my 42 birthday. I didn't get the skinny gene, but I did get the youthful gene. I've always had amemia, as long as I can remember. It's just got bad after my 3rd child. I also got diagnosed with RA, 2 months after she was born. Iron pills do nothing for me. Doctors have…

  • Time... yep, you read that correctly. Time was my "aha" moment. It was the day after Christmas, almost 5 weeks out from a really bad car accident, I laid in bed crying. I was in so much pain. I knew my weight had to come off. I was over 280lbs. However, I've always failed. This time as I laid there thinking about what I…

  • WATER! Seriously. Drink it, love it, make it your main drink. I'm a soda lover, Diet Mountain Dew, every morning and through out the day. Weight was coming off slower then I had hoped. Finally gave up soda 3 weeks ago, weight is now really coming off and my skin is glowing.
    in 20 pounds in 10 weeks for wedding! Comment by Wonder_Mattie June 2017
  • I should have put this in the beginning. I'm 42, 5' 9.5" tall and I started at 282. I wore 2x in shirts and a tight 22 to loose 24 in pants. I'm now to 254. Today, I just put on a size 20. A bit tight, but wearable. To me, I don't feel like I've lost anything. So when I read the bigger weight loss, I feel that if I was at…

  • I needed that. I did everything right, but did my weekly weigh in.... Gained a pound. WTF? I feel like a total failure. I keep say motto, "Ond day at a time, one pound at a time." But today it just isn't working.
