ImaSongbird - I think that is what I would need it for. I think just the hectic nature of my week will help me lose a pound or two then monday morning its back. I guess its not so much that I overeat on the weekends but I have more time to sit and do nothing and without any energy I don't exercise.

I also have celiacs so I don't have a choice, the only real reason people should eat gluten free is if you have a sensitivity to it. It seems like it is becoming a popular "it thing to do" its not healthier than just eating clean whole grains. Its not lower calorie especially if you buy the gluten free products to replace…

My mother currently goes to a weight loss doctor and was prescribed this and I have an appointment with him next week. She has lost 28 lbs in about 10wks. I actually am worried about her when she goes off it because she never tried to control her eating before and she still does not really even while on it. She can't do…

You are an absolutely gorgeous girl! Great Job!

I have a question, I have no intention of getting this surgery or any weight loss surgery but I had thought about talking to my mother about getting it a few times so that is why I read this whole thread. It seems like people that have WLS done still need to follow a low calorie diet and exercise .......so I guess my…

Thanks for posting this, I have celiacs so I have not been able to eat wheat for a while (and have never felt better by the way) but I keep trying to convince my husband to eat the gluten free foods that I do and he is not on board yet. I am forwarding this article to him!

I have a wish list at a couple of my favorite stores online and all the clothes are in smaller sizes so when I hit certain points I will go to the list and buy 1 or 2 things. But being able to look at the list of all those cute things that I can't wear yet is a big motivator!

YES! So I work in a very small office with only 2 other girls and our boss. The one lady is older and LARGE but she does not seem to care about losing weight so whatever with her but the other girl is about 100 lbs overweight. So ever since I have started on my weight loss track she has been straggleing behind. I will grab…

I totally agree with you, my sister in law who also has a 4 year old was being pestered by her 4 year old for a piece of gum one day and she looked at me as she took it out of her purse and said "does Jack want a piece too?" and I said no Jack does not even know what chewing gum is, he has never had it and I don't want him…

YES! I have a 4 year old and 1 year old and have a family history of diabetes and high blood pressure. We do not buy unhealthy food now, I can't remember the last time my child ate at a fast food place! I have gained weight through my two pregnancies from being unhealthy and I will not let my children grow up with health…

Sometimes being to nice can be a bad thing, my husband says he loves me no matter what, says if finds me attractive the way I am but that can sometimes make it ok to send your health on a downward spiral.

I actually wish my husband would have harped on me more about my weight as after having two kids it has gotten out of control. I mean I don't want him to be mean, call me names and make me cry but maybe offering something healthy for dinner when I was pregnant vs offering to go get take out! I also understand what you are…

You and I are the same height and have the same goal of 140 ( I am starting out heavier though) but add me, the more friends the better!

I actually noticed that when I put my weight into the treadmill it will show at the end of my work out that I burned more calories than if I just hit the "quick start" and go without putting my weight in.

I have Celiacs so I am all gluten free, One of my favorite grab an go foods are Soy Joy Bars and Lara bars (the peanut butter and Jelly ones are the best) I also do alot of protien, grilled chicken, fish, peanut butter on a slice of gluten free bread. There are some good snacks if you are like me and need a crunchy treat…

When I started running (I'm am doing 1 mile a day, walk a lap then run a lap at the local track) my legs were so sore for the first few days that I could barely walk, I had to suck it up and keep going though and after about a week the pain went away and my legs felt so much stronger!! Keep it up you will notice how much…
