Some of these comments are just beyond belief awful, especially with the parents and other family members. When it comes to family why can't they just discuss their concerns privately without resorting to insults. If anyone in my family said some of the stuff posted here they would be seriously cut out of my life. Who…

This is my biggest battle. I am trying to wean myself off slowly. I had 3 peanut M&Ms (yes just 3 single pieces) to kind off satisfy the craving without going nuts. Always heard sugar is an addiction and I need a way to cut it out cold turkey. It is a major struggle.

Wow what a difference. I hope my face size gets smaller

Your words of encouragement on your profile are exactly what I need.

Simply amazing

For me it was more like a series of defining moments July- looked at pictures from vacation with my hubby and couldn't believe that was actually me August- finally stepped on the scale and it said 190lbs. I was 10lbs away from being 200 and I am barely 5'5 September 15- I consider this my actual d-day, dermatologist gave…

You are doing good 9 pounds in one month with only 20 something pounds to go. Remember slow and steady wins the race. Let your body get used to this new weight loss.

I track everything. You would be surprised how many calories some fruits can have.

I am 5'5 and have 43 lbs left to lose. Although so far I have lost 12 pounds it is kind of discouraging trying to find the right things to eat along with a good variety. I weigh in tomorrow morning hopefully I have lost at least half a pound. I am still regretting the pizza I had on Friday night.

I agree just walk. I started walking a month ago and now it is so addictive. I only planned on walking 3x a week, but now my body craves it everyday so now I walk at least 2 miles every day. If I can walk having anemia then I am pretty sure OP could walk also.

I seem to be having the same problem weekends seem to be worse. The problem is I am not hungry although I am still under 1200. I am trying to force myself to eat more in the mornings, but I usually do my walking first thing in the morning.

I would really prefer to just drink water. Water is strongly recommended for my minor genetic condition. I have to take my supplements twice a day. But I do have a bottle of lemonade concentrate in my fridge. Just got to make sure to use a straw.

I was considering getting one for the holidays.

Don't know I have been evaluated for malabsorption problems. Doctor thinks the anemia is related to a minor genetic condition I have, since it is common for people with this condition. Do you take the Vitamin C pills before or at the same time you take the iron supplements?

Well since I am going through this weight loss program we weigh in every Tuesday and it just happened to day 2 of my cycle. I am usually a few pounds heavier during my first couple days. Can't wait for next Tuesday to see how much I actually loss.

5'5 with 43 more pounds to lose

I am from New Orleans and yes losing weight in the south is hard. So much temptation just thinking about catfish poboys, beignets is enough to make my mouth water.
