Well I did step on the scale and so far it is not showing any gain... I think it should have as I did eat around 2000 cals for two days, So it may show up later in the week, but I hope not.

I have to agree with some of the other posters. 1. 2 days per week seems excessive. 2. Eating until you are sick does not consitute a cheat day. I still have 1 day per week that I eat about 500 to 1000 over my usually plan which means I have one or two items that I would usually not have. Such as going out for lunch and…

I had one about 2 yrs ago, results were no bone loss. However I have shrunk from 5'10" to 5'9" but apparently that is not much to do with the bone loss but more other issues of the spine. I just had another test on the 12th Dec and I am waiting for the results now. Hopefully I have no signs of any bone loss once again, I…

5'9" these days, used to be 5'10" but seems I have shrunk! I am 245, over 50 and my goal is 180, I am large frame. I have not been 175-180 since I was 17yrs old but looking back at photo;s I realize now it was a pefect weight for me then, even tho in those days most folks thouhgt I was very heavy and said so often. At my…

I lived abroad until I was 17 yrs old then moved full time to the US, then in 2000 to 2011 I began traveling and living in Europe, Asia and the Middle east. Folks in the US have no idea what it is like to live in say India or Egypt for example, not to mention Africa. I think if more folks 'lived' in this other countries…

misskerouac How funny your example are so similar to mine!! I am the older sister, I am 5'9" (having shrunk from 5'10"), she is 5'6" (who knows she maybe less now too), I am applie, she is a pear. She is very pretty, and I am plain. We are both fair but I have a red undertone, she does not. In my youth I could tan but do…

When all of my slacks would not button and I had to go buy 'fat' pants the kind with no button nor zipper to make do... I am an apple and most of the wieght goes to my middle, so it's impossible to buy womens clothes when you are shapped like this. In fact I had to get men's jeans just to make do for a trip to a mfg plant…

In theory I suppose yes. But in practice not such a good idea. I have certainly done it, in fact after 10 weeks eating what I consider clean, high protein, low processed carbs and lots of veggies, this past Sunday I wanted to EAT. So I thought I will go have want I have been craving and purchase a french bread baggette,…

Incredible! What is your secret? I am not 'post' yet, still seem to be having some 'output' on occasion but not often, maybe soon. But I have been on a clean eating program and exercise for 10 weeks now and just hit 29 lbs gones, that is 2.9 per week. But your 5.75 per week is amazing. How many calories are you consuming?…

I lost 9 my first week on my new eating plan, so it is possible to have retained fluids and once you eat right and drink 8 glasses of water the 1st week can result is a big loss, not typically fat...but water.

Wait for your test results. I was so tired recently myself, I was working 14 hrs a days often 6-7 days a week for months at a time, and I so tired I thought I must have that chronic fatigue syndrome. But instead my tests came back that I was Amenic and very much so.. likely from all of the work, stress, and a monthly cycle…

If you worked the 6.5 hours then you should be paid, I do not think there should be any question about that, and maybe it was just an oversight on her part. You may need to gently remind her of this.

I love breakfast tacos. 1 Egg 1 High Fibre Wheat Torrilla (La Torrilla Factory) 50 cals 1 oz low sodium ham 1 tablespoon Pace Mild Picante Sauce. Around 160 cals for one breakfast taco and keeps me full until lunch.

Yes to all of the above. My last bout with heavy bleeding went on for 20 days and so far as not come back. However I have had more stopps and starts this year than the last two. It's like it never ends. I agree with the other person who posted about the Albation, check into that, and you may need to swtich to another gyno…

I applaude you for wanting to be a good neighbor, very few folks are these days! :flowerforyou: However if the noise is between 7am and 9pm, and it is limited to say 45mins to 1 hour, I would go ahead with it, and maybe just explain to your neighbors that you need to exercise and that it would be a limited timeframe. I can…

Well this probably will have mix results in opnions, but I was having the same issues so I dropped my caloric intake to 1000 for 3 days, and then back up to 1300 for 3 days and that did the trick. Maybe just a fluke. This after about 3 weeks of little to no loss.

If I plan for it, and it fits into my caloric intake for the day along with a balance diet I go for it but usually that is only once per week or less. However I do eat animal crackers, which are low in fat and sugar and I often have those as a desert in the evenings only after I have eating a well balance diet and it fits…

I see the exact same thing, up 1, down 2, up 3 even, then later down 4, water weight and other facts, 1 lb is not worth getting upset over as it is highly likely it would not be actual FAT gained. I always say to myself if I ate well and did not binge eat 3500 cals in a day, then there is no way I could have gained 1lb of…

Excellent!!! I wish I could say the same, at 26.5 lbs down, I have only lost 2.5 insches off the waist and massive muffin top... I think it will be the last to go on me... Keep it up....!!! Amazing effort.

I did! No change from yesterday, which is good. Did not eat too much yesterday stayed under 1500 which was my goal, so I did very well.

I have never tried Optislim but have done Optifast, which I believe is about the same thing. I did the Optifast once years ago, and then found that the company that made the protein shakes and such was the same as another product called Wonderslim to which you can purchase online at www.dietdirect.com. So I acutally use…

40lbs in one month? I think that would be very un-realistic unless you had a gastric by-pass or gastric banding and even then likely not that much. I've also tried many things over the many many years and as the other members have said they may help for a short period but they do not help in the long run and the weight…

Very funny everyone! I sat by two ladies who each ate the large bowel of poporn.. it was a bit much. Lucky for me popcorn while I like the smell sometimes, anoyes me as those little things get into your teeth and such (guess the hull) so that part I hate. But I will think about the forzen grapes next time. And yes I saw…

Welcome I have been using this site now for over 50 days, and Sunday is the end of my 8th week. I am doing much better than even I expected. I had a gastric bypass in 2005 and at that time I just did not believe I could do this on my own, at 400 lbs it seemed daunting, so I elected to choose some medical help. I lost down…

I believe you can go online and they do indeed have some of that information, and they in particular do have a healthy option, but you have to look for those marked as such. Lately because my sis and her family like to eat out once a week and I usually meet them for dinner I go onine and see what is the best choice before…

Tomorrow is the end of my 7wk of a very strict eating plan, and I am down 16.8 lbs and I was weighing every few days, and seeing the scale go up 1.8 lbs, down .5, etc.. so it was making me crazy. So now I try very hard to only do so once per week, every tho I want to....seems like if you are really keeping things to 1200…

I had to ask some time ago mysefl, but I would like to know who is came about, bump, does it stand for something in particular? I figured it for some text slang, or internet blogging term. (both ot which I have little time for)

I found one I like on www.justmysize.com, by Champion I am only a DD but I think they did have some for larger.

MzBug, Thanks for the input, I think you are right... thanks for the defiintiion to BUMP... so clueless was I...

Thanks for the input. Anyone that is 250+ typically will lose a lot the 1st week and it may be 9 lbs but mostly water weight, so that really has nothing to do with my main issue, the last 3.5 wks the weight is .5 per wk. Water well I like to drink and do so all day long, and it best it is water instead of diet cokes which…
