I actually took prescribed Phentramine for over a year. Please, PLEASE- monitor your side effects and be under constant watch by your doctor. This is a powerful drug NOT supplement. It’s more than dry mouth, it’s like 6 cups of coffee at once. Gradually take these pills if you deem it necessary on certain days. Your body…

Starvation/ calorie deficit caused my metabolism to significantly slow down ): My body basically adjusted to the significant calorie deficit and would instead either gain or maintain my current weight if I ate at the recommended amount. I don’t recommend it.

I had the same problem and realized it was largely contributed to high sugar intake and anxiety. Cut juices and soda from your regular diet and only drink water. I can guarantee you’ll notice a drastic change in your sugar cravings. Notify your doctor about your food binges and ask if it could be caused by anxiety or any…

I do every now and then. Logically, I know I should. It holds me accountable for what I’m actually eating that I consciously know I should in small quantities. I don’t because I’m likely out with friends and it’s a buzzkill. Not to mention guessing the calorie intake is likely off. I just adopted the habit of only having…

A friend of mine did this and lost 20 pounds as well did her spouse. Unfortunately, she gained it all back because her mindset implemented it as a diet. Basically deeming it only necessary to reach a particular target weight. If you’re meaning to make the change permanently than you may find success in this. You also have…

Thank you for your recommendations! Unfortunately, high fiber food is already part of my regular diet. I eat a lot of carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts daily. I also take fiber supplements upon the suggestions of two doctors. My digestive system is a mess ):

There's never gonna really be a lightbulb moment. You're comfortable. The lightbulb moment should had been when your clothes were no longer fitting. The lightbulb moment should had been when you looked at the number on the scale. Invest in something that can lead to an automatic loss if you don't do it. Buy a gym…

Info is limited via studies. Reason why I wanted to ask opinions from others. Especially those that have actually taken the supplements themselves. I went through hundreds of Amazon reviews and saw many positive ones. The only reason I decided to purchase Turmeric. Thanks! I have a personal trainer already. I tell him…

Yeah, I was the same way in the sense of making every excuse as a reason not to go to the gym. You have to commit something abruptly before the weight continues to add up. When I pay for something, I've committed to doing it with the risk of losing my funds for not doing it. You can join a gym (even far one), try a workout…

Yeah, that's the reason I purchased it. I'm right handed and the workouts on my left hand side all lead to discomfort and mild pain. Hoping this may help as I build strength.

One meal for 1,500 calories? Jesus - I'd just rather go to Chic Fil A instead of cooking for that allowance.

Los Angeles :)

How many hours are you sleeping? When I cut calories - I have bursts of energy or insomnia at night. I'm usually a drained mess in the morning and throughout the day because of it. I just started using my Fitbit to capture my sleeping cycle. Maybe monitor how many hours you're sleeping at night?

For the love of jebus, DO NOT SPRAY TAN. It made my excess skin so painfully obvious. It's like the ripples of loose skin form an obvious crease it the small folds. I never did it again. Lol.

Not the IE, but LA

1. 210ish lbs - I was seriously obese - the fact that I was a size 18 at the age 14 made me realize I disgustingly unhealthy and could not fit into anything. (Mind you this was before Torrid blew up.) 2. 170 lbs - Now, I gained 20 pounds and my ex started calling me fat and stated I was unattractive. I just felt like I…

At what average heart rate should we be at to have a steady metabolism?

It's generally hard for me to meal prep during the week because I'm on the road a majority of the day. I work sales so I'm from city to city and no fridge. But it's very much possible if you have accessibility to a fridge and microwave. Here's a top rated meal prep set. You can also buy more in bulk on Amazon. I can't cook…

I just found Healthy Noodle. It's only 50 calories and I prep it into spaghetti and veggies. It usually makes for 3 servings with that one bag!

My ex was the exact same way. So I found a way around his disgust towards vegetables. Little oil, vegetables of your choice, and chicken bouillon seasoning over a cookie sheet. Broiled to give a nice roasted taste. He would only eat carrots and broccoli. I would give him a bit of red potatoes and it he'd eat it all. Works…

Victoria Secret leggings are amazing. I bought 3 exact pairs. Their material is also very fit forming and flattering compared to common spandex. They're cotton so not see through. I recommend going a size down as the compression is true to fit.

Only diet pill that has worked for me (and I only take half a pill if I feel I'm going to binge eat) is Phentramine. I needed blood work done prior to prescription. It's effective, but very strong. I'm only 25 and only take half the pill before noon (if I really need to). A month's supply lasts me about 6 to 8 months. It's…

Thanks Marygirl05! The biggest confidence booster I could have! It did take a month for me to walk properly so prepare for that though! :)

Just messaged you the link ... I think.

I did in January. I highly suggest using real self. One of the greatest decisions I made in my life. Since I had been severely obese as a kid for a long time- my body was just never going to be normal even with exercise. The sagging skin just couldn't be saved. I'd post pictures, but they're graphic. If you have a real…

Do you know how to cook?

Olivegirl - I've maintained a 40lb weight loss for 11 years. It was 60 lbs up until March. Which is why I'm back MFP. I'm eating healthy and providing my body nutrients. It's just a 3 day juice fast to attempt to see if it either does or does not impact my plateau. I've asked trainers and read articles. Pretty much a…

I hate exercising. I'm a complete fatty. I had a nice gym next door in the apartment complex I lived at with state of the art equipment and would go probably once or twice a month. No will power. I have to push myself by going to classes or a personal trainer.
