I'm not exactly sure of your situation or all of your symptoms, but my mother has Chronic Fatigue Immune Defiency Syndrome. Her body does not absorb nutrients like everyone elses, and it also has a hard time eliminating toxins. It makes her desperately exhausted and tired. She tried for a couple years to ge diagnosed but…

Hi, I'm new also. I am 25 years old and a new mommy. Trying to improve my health! Thanks for posting the thread- goals are below. :wink: ~Allie7383- PR in my Disney Half Marathon, be under 145, log 5 days a week and drink at least 8 glasses of water every day. ~Skreal89 - break the 210 mark for the first time in 3 years;…

Oh, and in reading your previous post, I would have to say I wouldn't go below 1200 cals a day. That's what is recommended for a minimum by most physicians and even most weightloss websites/books. I don't think your body necessarily goes into "starvation" mode, I just think you may not be getting all the nutrients you…

I was stuck last week and had 1 cheat day where I consumed an extra 500 calories and I ended up losing 6 lbs this week. I don't know if it works for everyone but it seemed to help me. You will still lose if you eat a little extra one day a week. I think it's good, that way your body doesn't get used to you doing the exact…

I wouldn't eat the calories just because they are there. If you are hungry or having a maaaajor craving that's different. :smile: I eat back my exercise calories sometimes. Just depends on the day. The trick is to not feel deprived though. So, if you have done your exercises and have made healthy choices throughout the…

Please don't be too anxious to get off all medication for bipolar disorder. I'm not a psychiatric professional but my mother is so I have grown up learning all about it. The Seroquel may not be the best option for you but if you get off all meds, the results can be bad. I'm sure you know this if you have struggled with it…

Her family must be so proud. Why? That is my question. Why would you do that to yourself on your wedding day??

Hmmm.. Interesting...

Bruno Sweetlips! LOL! :laugh:

My mom said I LOVED carrott baby food when I was little and my nose did turn orange! I have a couple pictures somewhere where you can see it so clearly! ha! :laugh:

I met Rascal Flatts and Chris Tomlin. That's it. :)

Girly girl, to me, is somewhat about how you feel on the inside. I am a girly girl even though alot of times I wear a tshirt. I do not like getting dirty outside. I don't like hunting or anything like that, etc. I like watching makeover shows and the E! channel! :) But when I really want to feel girly- like if I'm going…

Your kid has something in her mouth.. lol.

Avoid... not into girls like that lol.

I wish I looked like your before picture.. Proud for you that you stopped binge drinking and started running. That is awesome.. But like I said I wish I could look like your before pic! Makes me feel like crap that I aspire to look like what you thought was bad.. lol.

I love food. Plain and simple. I was brought up on sweet food, fried foods, fast food, all in double portions. My parents and family still eat that way. I don't enjoy working out. But I'm working on changing all of these factors so I can be a thinner, healthier me!

Very very nice!! Congrats on your success!!

That is so wonderfu!!! I am so proud for you!! You do look awesome. Your story is so inspiring. I cannot thank you enough for posting that. I love to read success stories on days I'm feeling down. Keep up the good work! You are a whole new person with a whole new life and it's amazing!

I'm 5'8" and over 200 lbs. So, my beginning goal weight is 165. Hopefully, once I reach that, I can go further.

Thank you all so much for the advice. I appreciate it so much! :) I did try something tonight that he liked pretty good.. I got the idea off of another post. I took skinless boneless chicken breasts and rolled them in a packet of Ranch dip (powder) and topped them with pieces the fully-cooked bacon you can buy. Baked on…

Congrats on the weightloss!! You're doing terrific. Hopefully I will have some pictures like this in 6 months or so :)

I feel the same way! I want to have people add me, but am nervous about adding people because I don't want to look.. weird or something lol.

I usually break mine down something like this: Breakfast 350, Lunch 500, Supper (as we like to call it in the south ha!) 600, then maybe 250 spread throughout the day for snacks. (Right now I get about 1700 a day). I saw the discussion about eating larger meals at supper as opposed to eating breakfast as the larger meal.…

I need to lose 65. I have been a yo-yoer for years. :/ Hoping this year will be the year I stay most committed to it! I have a new baby and I'm wanting to get healthier for her.. Looking for a few people on here who understand the struggle of weight!

Hey guys, This is my first day on here. I am like a lot of others with a "New Years Resolution" so to speak. I am trying to get back on track with eating better and exercising more. It has been a lifelong battle for me. I started gaining weight at age 4. I have always loved food. I lost about 55 pounds back in 2003-2004. I…
