Thanks Tessanne. It does seem like so long and I hope it goes so fast. I live in Minnesota and have the Minnesota blue cross blue shield. I am so afraid that once I go through this that they will decline it. I am afraid that if I lose too much weight these 6 months that they will decline it for that reason. So it is very…

Phentermine is the other diet pill that was taken off the market years ago when there was the Phen Phen rage. The one I am taking is the "good" Phen. My doctor also is having me take L-carnitine suppliment with it, which helps to burn fat. The doctor that I see has a bariatric program that he does, that is why I am going…

what were all of the reasons that they gave for the denys? I am having a hard time waiting the six months, how long does it take once you get denied? This is making me a little nervous

Great job, i've only made it to 10. You are doing great

Oh now that is just nasty. I think I would find another gym...lol

I guess I have to say that I give in, if not I just crave things or I will give in later. I think it is ok to allow ourselves some free days as long as we get back on

I go to the gym and use the nustep crosstrainer, and use my elliptical here at home. Even if it is only a few minutes a day, I figure that it is at least someting. I does seem to burn a lot more calories then the treadmill.

I am going to go against everyone else and tell you that I know what you mean. If I eat too many calories, I don't lose weight either. I have to almost starve myself, or I just dont lose. I think that everyones body is different and I am glad to see others eating 1200 calories and lose weight, but I just can't seem to.…

THank you, i'm going to try it...:)

The first couple of drinks were a little bit different, but then like everything else, you get a taste for it. That is all I like to drink now.

That is great, You need to put yourself first

i'm in the same boat as you are. I don't see it at all. I haven't even had anyone say "you look smaller" My jeans are a little bigger on me, but i haven't went down a size or anything. It is very frustrating to lose 22lbs and not see it. Oh well, Ill keep at it. You keep up the great work also.

Ive switched to the Bud select 55. That way i can have two beers compaired to one and the taste isn't that bad. Hope that helps. Good luck

wow, that is great. It really have to make you feel really good. I wish i had that support from my boyfriend. I couldn't get a compliment if i asked for one. You are really lucky. Good job.:smile:

that is so great, and such a great feeling. Congrats!!!!

I have a select 55, not to bad, just takes a little getting used to. But only 55 calories, you can have 2 to one normal beer

your doig great. Keep up the great work. You will get there

I think that is a really good thing to do. I think when we get frustrated, we can go back to the old "us". Making a video reminding us of what it is like is a really good idea.

wow, great job

HI. i don't have the ea active for wii, but i was considering getting it or the biggest loser for wii. I did get the golds gym cardio, i only used it today and didn't like it a lot, but i'm going to use it anyway. I figure its better then nothing at all. It doesn't keep track of calories or anything.

Wow, i jsut started my diet and my period is so heavy right now. I would find it a blessing if it stopped altogether. I'm in early menopause, so it would just be great. Good luck to you

wow, great job, you look really good.

I know what you mean. I feel the same way. If i see success stories it seems to help me with the inspiration i need
