Well I'm glad you learned something...I found out the hard way. It's scary in a way because it feels like its going to come (cramps, the whole 9 yards) but no blood. It's been since December for me...not fun. Kind of scared to think about when I do get it..can we say, crimson wave?? geez.

Thanks all! I figured it had something to do with my weight gain. I've had normal cycles until last year, then it got weird. Mine are normally a light 2-3 days if that and then once I gained some weight they went to heavy/bad for a week. Now its playing hooky and as much as a girl would love to say "yay, no period!" - I…

Hi all! I think this is the perfect group for me! My goal is 100 - 110lbs ultimately. I would love to be apart of this group! I am a 2014 bride, so that is a motivator, but definitely feel I could use some encouragement. Thanks! Jen {thatjengirl}

Thanks! This makes me feel a little better. I see from your profile you eat gluten-free has this helped you at all?

Sugar isn't my issue..salt is..eek!!

Thank you everyone - I appreciate everyone's answers. I'm truly not looking for a cheat or an easy way out, I am looking for something to jumpstart for me. I eat a lot of fruits/veggies as it is - but being a Wisconsin gal, dairy is a huge issue for me - I know I eat way too much of it and too often. I thought about trying…

Haha, this made me laugh - thanks for that, I don't actually eat donuts (honestly) and luckily don't live near a Dunkin Donuts haha!

I just started "tying" to do it - I got some recipes from Pinterest. Where I've found - the ingredients are EXPENSIVE. That's all I've encountered so far - but more energy for sure!

I have tried Metablife when I was younger (I'm 24), and it scared me. Felt like my heart was racing. That is my BIGGEST fear because all of the gunk in products. I think I may take everyone's advice and do protein powder + berries/PB. I have two jars of Slimfast mix (never used) that I might use for breakfasts with a…

I will try to scope that out! I am such a sucker for PB & Choc...that just may help to curve cravings! I have had such a hard time trying to get myself to drink soy, and then rice milk and almond milk - even chocolate stuff. Barf. I guess being from Wisconsin I am just stuck on real MILK. lol.

Is this like the whey protein jugs you can buy at Walmart? I am sooo new to this!

I suppose that is true! My fiance is a MAJOR junk food fien, which makes it hard for me since we live together. I feel so 'greasy' and 'bleh;' when I eat junk....just so hard to stay on track!
