I took prescription pills when my BMI was in the obese category formerly and it was recommended by my doctor. At the time I took Meridia and also Phentrimine. They really don't help much, and are just complimentary to other effort that you put in. They are only legal and safe when prescribed by a doctor and you need blood…

This was my first week. I also cried. TEARS. Other unusual stuff. I think this might be part of the first week, but already I can now sleep through the night on day 10 and I'm getting in my water.

I've tried to find a balance because I have chronic pain and can end up able to do nothing but lay around in agony if I push it too much. Go start and promise yourself to give it 15 minutes. If after 15 minutes you can't imagine finishing your workout, go rest. If after 15 minutes another 15 doesn't sound too bad,…

My Mom has the same exact spine issue including the fusion (2 disks). She's done amazingly well, but now that her feet have issues, when she's unable to walk due to her feet, her back gets really bad.
