Sleep is the key. I get 4-5 hours then naps. I'm never in deep sleep to recover. Then I don't eat enough sometimes and I end up gaining wait from hunger. My body does everything backwards. Less in more output...yeah right.

Same here except for the sweating. No answers other than here's a Prozac, and you're lying about how much you exercise and eat clean. It's just not possible to do everything right and still gain weight.

Im 39 and been fighting my weight for 20 years. Hair loss Weight gain (chronic) Headaches Dizzy ness Unable to lose weight Muscle fatigue Vomiting after work outs (personal trainers) I don't eat much because I'm fat, I work out all the time because I'm fat. I gained 5 pounds this month and 3 last month. My dr says it's…

I only use Kosher salt and its at minimal levels. I'm not much for condiments. I drink 3 camelbak's a day. That is to say about 9 cups of water.

Clarification I'm not juicing every single vegetable I'm just doing a green juice twice a day. Not going to argue over to juice or not to juice. I'm content with that part of my diet my consternation has to do with the weight fluctuation...and thanks for all the comments I appreciate the perspectives.

I have a beautifully marked Boxer named Ramsey. Best dog I ever had, besides my Pug General Patton....may he rest in peace.

Go to Amazon.com and get a cookbook called Bean By Bean...you'll never go bean confused again. :laugh:

Pretty sure we are PCS'ing there in a few months so I will remember to come back to this page. I have 3 kiddos but I despise gyms so working out in nature is my thing too. ;o)

Agree with this poster

I made butternut squash quinoa coquettes this week. I roasted the squash, sauteed cauliflower, artichoke hearts and then cooked my quinoa. I added it all together seasoned to taste pile into the coquette's and sprinkled with little bit of mozzarella.

I had the expensive one to Starbucks. I had to start making my own coffee at home then I went to decaf then I dropped sugar and just used fat free hazelnut creamer the liquid and now I stay to that if I drink it at all.

I've been rebooting since Saturday and lost 12 pounds. I can't sleep at night but its working like a charm otherwise.

Honestly, if your man is that concerned about his own sugar cravings you have about zero support and I would clean house. Eating a healthy lifestyle takes a village. If you are surrounded by crap every day then you will eat it. Just sayin...Get it out and keep it out. Having will power is great when you have nothing in the…

I just sent you a friend request and a message. Hugs

I did years ago and its effectively all soy and made me ill.

Wow...I was asking for reviews from people who've used the product and I am getting personal opinions on where motivation comes from and diet and exercise. Again...please respond if you have used the product. Thanks

I wasn't trying to "do" anything necessarily. I specifically asked for people to respond who have used the product and get their opinion. When I say "pick me up" I am referring to motivation. It's nice to get a boost in motivation and a pick me up towards your goal. Again I'm asking for reviews from prior users.

The body wrap is called IT WORKS! You can google it... it has a lot of reviews but its usually people selling the product. I saw some youtube videos on it and it looks like it could work for some people. I was curious if anyone had used this particular wrap. Thanks

Hi, I just got to Gordon in June. I joined the south ymca on Tobacco road. They have date night two times a month where they watch the kiddos for free. Anyhow, I've got tons of DVD"s and that Brazilian Butt Lift work out too but I have a motivation issue as well. Plus my kids (3) don't go to bed till 8 or so. So if you…

I have a pair of killer espadrille wedges from Nine West in my closet. The movers came 3 months ago to pack all my things so I could leave Fort Hooah (Bragg) and one of the packers took my shoe showed it to his buddies and said "look at this! would you look at this! She's so tall what's she doing wearing shoes like this?"…

Well, first off the surgeon knows how to cut you open and how to do the surgery and all but you need to listen to your nutritionist. Mine in particular and I'm 5'10 told me to eat 1200 calories a day, no more than 15 carbs at each meal and no more than 5 grams of fat at each meal. 6 small meals a day and 80 grams of…

I try not to say...It's no one's business anyhow. Plus, it was and has been and always will be the toughest thing to do deal with in my life. I get so annoyed when ignorant people say things like "you took the easy way out". For that reason alone I try not to say anything. I stopped using my card the first time I tried…

I brought my computer and watched Netflix for 4 days and had about 4 months of Vogue magazine to look at.. The pillow for coughing or adjusting is a good idea but I had a port on my left side and the other one right in the center so I probably couldn't have used it anyhow. My doc went the distance w/ precautions. Just…

Victoira's secret boyfriend jeans with a western belt with all the crystals and bling on it and a black tight long sleeve henley from Victoria's too. I bought the jeans when they went on sale. Very motivating. I really want a blinged out belt when I go to Texas for Christmas...and I want to wear it so it get's seen.

Shoe shopping is horrific and I don't normally go. I just bought Ghost 5's with my husband got fitted for them, and that wasn't too bad but...I got an 11.5 in those trainers. I remember about a year ago going to Ross and looking at the 10 and up section was was about 4 pairs of shoes and this little petite 4'9 woman comes…

I think its a cop out to blame choices on environment and economical status. Every convenience store I've been to has crap soda, sugar drinks, junk food everywhere. I can't recall the last time I walked into a "suburban" convenience store and anyone handing me a wheat grass to go or humas in a hurry. If you frequent…

I got a shot glass and I used that for my water. Every time I emptied it I filled it back up again. It holds about an ounce I think so you can also keep track of how much you are drinking that way. Pretty soon you'll be up to drinking like normal. I know they told you or at least mine did not to use straws but that's about…

I was that 380 pound woman on an eliptical for 1 minute. The people in the gym ignored me for the most part but after i saw some serious progress and I lost some serious weight everyone got a lot friendlier. Its intimidating and I sure would have liked it a lot more if someone had given me a "attaboy" and "you are doing…

I went to gastric bypass in May of 2010 and I weighed 310 pounds. ( I am 5'10) It's July of 2012 and I have lost 70 pounds so far. I got pregnant 6 months post op which was not the thing to do, but I had been in the hospital with a complication of bacteria in my intestines (turns out yogurt and ginger could have fixed…

oh and yeah those models wish they looked like that!!! lol Your boyfriend is right. They airbrush and distort the models till they don't look like themselves either. Just look at Candace...in real life in her real photos she's skin and bones and her hips are protruding from her skin...but in the magazine she's all tanned…
