I came across your message when I did a search for Zoloft. Welcome! I've been on Zoloft only since December, but it has worked wonders for me! I'm sorry to hear it didn't work out well for you, but I hope you've found something that works better. How is your weight loss journey going?

I used EAS Lean 15 protein powder and loved it. However, EAS recently discontinued the Lean 15 powder and replaced it with the AdvantEDGE powder. It's disgusting and is not a replacement at all.

@janejellyroll yes, I put 1/3 cup of seeds in 2 cups of water and let it soak overnight to make the gel. Then I add two tablespoons of that gel into my smoothie.

I'm seeing that a lot of these recipes say to cook for 6-8 hours. Does anyone have any recipes that can cook for at least 10 hours? That's how long I'm gone during the work day. Would appreciate any suggestions!

I just finished Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn. Loved it until the very end, but still worth it!

I agree with taking some photos of yourself now, and compare them with old photos. Being overweight can cause problems mentally and emotionally, not just physically. We all know that! I have a friend who is very overweight, and her weight fluctuates a lot. She doesn't accept compliments from anyone, because she simply…

That's simply not true. Eating clean to maintain weight is NOT a requirement.

Thanks for the info!!

My doors do have moulding, so maybe I'll check this out. Thanks for the recommendation!

Read this interview. She dances around each question she's being asked. http://www.realitytvworld.com/news/the-biggest-loser-winner-rachel-frederickson-dodges-too-skinny-questions-15881.php

Rachel looked unhealthy to me. I looked up her height and her final weight, and she is underweight according to the BMI Calculator. I'm scared for her!

Thanks! I decided to go back and look at my settings and it was indeed set to lose 1 lb. per week. I changed it to .5 lbs per week, and it adjusted me to 1550 calories. I've also been mixing up my exercise this week; I had gotten into the same routine and figured it would help to change it up.

Toshiba, all the way. I love my Toshiba laptop. I've had it for 3 years, and still no problems.

Thanks for the responses! Here are some answers to the questions you guys have asked: -I measure my food, but I don't weigh it. If that makes sense. However, I try to overestimate my calories if I'm not sure, and underestimate calories burned during workouts. -I've been less stressed out lately than I was earlier in the…

I don't like a lot of veggies, but here are a few things that work for me: -Broccoli sautéed in olive oil & garlic -Raw carrot sticks dipped in Bolthouse Farms Ranch Dressing. This is a yogurt-based dressing that has WAY less calories and fat than regular ranch dressing. -Fresh green beans. These taste much better than…

If you ever decide you want to do some weight training, Walmart has dumbbells that are less than $5. You don't have to join a gym or buy expensive equipment in order to do weight lifting.

This. It's Standard Time now.

I eat a Fiber One bar for breakfast, and I find that it keeps me full until my mid-morning snack of greek yogurt. But I have the same problems here as everyone else. What else can I eat for my breakfast that is similar to this?

I'm dying laughing. This is great!

Hi guys! If you want to try a healthy store-bought ranch dressing, Bolthouse Farms makes a great one! It's yogurt-based, and you can find it in the refrigerated section near the produce in most grocery stores. Only 45 calories and 3 grams of fat per serving. And it tastes great! http://bolthouse.com/product/classicranch

I'm doing the one in Atlanta! I did it last year too, and I walked the entire time. A lot of people walk it because 1) it's not a timed race, and 2) the color stations get backed up, and you have to stop. But I enjoyed it for those reasons. It's a FUN 5K with no pressure!

Good for you! My last soda was on January 11th, and I have never looked back. It hasn't always been easy, but it's worth it! Cherry Coke was my weakness :-)

Yes, I've been having a very tough time with this! I work full-time, and I'm in grad school full-time. Juggling all of this and trying to be healthy at the same time (along with whatever life decides to throw my way) is really tough. It's a daily struggle for me, and I would be lying if I said I never succumbed to "bad"…

Yes, I've been doing a lot of research online about nutritional facts for various fast food restaurants. One of the least damaging options is Chick-Fil-A's chargrilled sandwich with a cup of fruit on the side. That's usually what I try to get if I'm not able to fix something to eat ahead of time. I drink water with it…
