  • I heard from someone that had gastric bypass surgery and attended weightloss counciling speak on those very thoughts. She told me that after being "fat" that getting over those images would never pass. It was something we would have to live and deal with everyday. It has been 2 yrs since I lost my weight and I still see…

  • Check with your doctor if it doesn't stop, but i would bet your body is detoxing. When we start messing with the foods and additives we eat on a daily basis, our body goes through many changes. I battled headaches when I first started my weight loss journey, they soon passed. I noticed if I didn't drink high caffiene…

  • :grumble: I couldn't find the Biggest Loser Last chance workout on the list as well, so I just chose aerobics (moderate) for me. I have one of those things you wear around the chest and arm to measure how many calories you burn in a day. I am considering dragging it out and putting it on just to get an idea of the calories…
  • I usually see 3-4 lbs difference between morning and night and because of this I NEVER step on the scales at night. I do not weigh on monday morning because I am very suseptable to water weight from high sodium foods and we eat out alot over the weekends, so I usually weigh Tuesday and Wednesday mornings, first thing after…

  • yup...I loved sweets as a kid and still do. I firmly believe we are what we eat and I mean that from birth.. I try to teach my children differently, but they unfortunetly have a grandmother who thinks she can give them any sweets 24 hours a day...I preach constantly about healthy food to my girls. I have battled weight my…
  • We threw a huge party for them yesterday. I had seen family that I havent seen since before Christmas. Well, I have lost a total of 43 pounds since I started trying to lose weight.

  • I went over on fried food Friday night and yesterday (Saturday) my breasts hurt all evening...I never thought about it being the fried foods, but maybe that was it the whole time. I am going to start watching this and see if it really is true. I know that since I started eating healthy, my breasts haven't hurt much at all.…
