I am really going to miss her. She had such great information to share. Maybe someone can lure her back to this post and see how much she is needed. OMG - so someone has been deliberately tormenting her? How sick and sad is that?

WHOO HOOOOO!! congrats! :flowerforyou: You should go buy yourself something to commorate this day!

You are too kind. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.:flowerforyou:

Can you post your menus for the last week? What is your heart rate like when you exercise? How much water have you been drinking? Are you close to getting your period? How often do you weigh yourself? How often do you exercise? What do you do? Sorry for all the questions, but I really want to help find the answer for…

I quit cold turkey about 2 months (6 days, 28 minutes) ago and I run approximately 8-10 miles a day. The main reason I have not slipped? I really wanted to quit. This has made all the difference. What did I go through? Well, there is the eating thing, which, thanks to this site was easy to overcome. Then there is the…

That is a HUGE step! Good for you. Can you move them away from you? :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: Be proud of yourself!

I'll check it out. Thanks for the info!

I'll tell you what I tell my boyfriend when he wants to cry future tears....use some of those powers to foretell the future to pick the winning lottery numbers! :tongue: Look, you don't know that you can't make the goal. Why not try and see how far you get? If you give up now, you will never know, will you?

The medication is called Procrit. It really boosted my mom's energy level.

My mom had breast cancer, and yes, I completely understand where you are at. I am so sorry you are going through this. My answer may come off sounding a bit harsh, believe me, I do not mean it this way at all, but remember that since you are the rock that eveyone is leaning on, then you have to take care of you first. If…

The way my trainer said it to me: When your body is trying to recover from an illness, it needs all it's healing powers to concentrate on that illness. When you work out, your muscles require repair. If you work out when you are sick, your body will not concentrate on healing your illness because it must divide itself…

Oh man, that had to make your week! Good for you!

Hello and welcome! You are going to love it here....most of the people here are very positve and helpful! :flowerforyou:

Ya have to love the drooling part. lol!

Fortunately, it's not like we have to work together or even interact. The conversation had nothing to do with you - so that makes this entire conversation ridiculous and totally not worth my time. I will not check this thread again. I am not interested in your opinion on the matter.

Okay - once again, you all have made me feel so much better....of course, now I will need therapy before going to the dentist again due to the horror stories...:wink: . It's funny, I'm more concerned with the fact that I'm not going to be able to eat (I can't swollow and it's been 3 hours). Hands down - you all have had it…

Oh my god....you poor thing. They didn't knock you out for your wisdom teeth? I protest for you!

I've had 322 calores today. I've had 7 shots of novacane and dental work done on 6 teeth giving me shots in both sides, upper and lower. I can't eat anything or I'm pretty sure I will eat my tongue with it. :noway: How bad does THIS SUCK? :sad: Just wanted to get this off my chest. I look like a chipmunk...and I miss the…

I found this article very interesting....I first learned this when I was a weight loss counselor and thought I would pass the info along... Muscle vs. Fat, Which Would you Rather Wear? Muscle Does Not Weigh More Than Fat (five pounds is five pounds), but it is Much Nicer to Look at 5 Lb. Fat vs. 5 Lb. Muscle As you can…

I want to thank you guys so very much for your supportive comments about this topic. If any of you had seen what I was put through yesterday with this topic you would understand why there were tears in my eyes when I read your comments. I only want to help. I went for 2 years only eating every other day...it has taken me a…

Maybe you should try another approach...a ball, a bosu (god, if you don't feel pain after using a bosu ball, you have abs of steel :smile: ).... Also, the best way to get rid of belly flab is cardio...so don't let the crunches bother you.

That guy who does that 30 day thing (you know, the Supersize Me guy)...went on a Guiness only diet for 30 days and his weight dropped like 2 pounds and his blood work improved. So you picked the right beer if that helps! :happy:

:flowerforyou: I wouldn't worry - the water weight is not your true weight....water pills can cause an electrolyte imbalance and muscle cramps (as a result)...be careful with these. I just find it's better to avoid the scales while on my period. It isnt' worth the pain. Oh, and skinny cows and grapes are my favs on my…

Good for you! You are awesome! The will power and dedication those 40 pounds took is astounding! Congrats!!! :flowerforyou:

I'm so sorry you are frustrated....but isn't it better to be frustrated because everything is too loose rather than too tight? I'd be doing the happy dance right now! You should be so proud. Now you can walk around in public with your loose clothes and tell people "I have lost so much weight that my clothes do not fit me…

You are truly an inspiration! Great job!!!!:flowerforyou:

Only once a week. Women tend to gain and lose a LOT of water weight and I don't want the temporary gain to derail my efforts.
