Grapefruit!!

Hey There!! I am about to go through Vertical Sleeve in June. I actually started a blog, to document my experience, before and after the procedure. It's definitely something you need to do your research on and be dedicated to. It is NOT the easy way out by any means. It is a tool to help you become the person you were ment…

Ya don't need to buy a 'cleanse system' to detoxify your body. If you have a juicer, try mixing high antioxidant fruits with wheat, lemon and barley grasses. It looks really green and kinda gross but tastes fantastic and is a great pick me up in the morning. If ya don't, Odwalla and Bolthouse farms sell Super food and…

WoW! Thanks for all the support!! :D To answer your questions @lloydrt... yes, I did have to meet certain criteria to qualify for the surgery, and to get my insurance to pay for the procedure. It's different for everyone, depending on insurance so I can't really tell you what they might be for you. It isn't so much a…

Lol, no.. emotions do play a huge roll in it, that's for sure, including your eating habits. That's why, most of the hoops I had to jump through were meeting with dieticians and a therapist to help me start sorting these things out. Exercise has never been an issue.. for almost 8 years, I was a semi-professional,…

Lots of veggies and make your meals colorful! Not everyone wants or likes to eat so called "healthy food". They find it bland..reasonably so considering the crap we're used to that is full of fat and salt. If you plate has a lot of color on it, you'll find you're more satisfied with your meals. I found that roasted corn in…

How's it going, Early Risers!! Ready for another week??? Especially after the holiday weekend. I know I feel off the wagon a bit during turkey day.. but tomorrow is a new day, so let's get to it! :D We got this!

Got up today!! Yey!! Took my dogs out for a nice walk and shook my *kitten* a bit with zumba. Hope everyone's doing well!!

So.... I had a horrible night's sleep last night and could not for the life of me get up when my alarm went off. It's not much of an excuse, and I will get up, do or die, tomorrow morning to work out. I'm just going to -have- to make time for working out today in the evening.

OK guys.. woke up at 5:00 and did an hour of my Zumba tapes. Maybe not with as much finess as I would if I had done it when I was awake.. lol. but as close as I could, I suppose. Who else woke up early and worked out??

This is great! I'm so happy to see people willing to give this a shot. I'm not sure if there's an actual option to make clubs or not, but we should all do our bests to see who's posted for the day, and who hasn't. We can e-mail eachother and post on our home pages to try to keep things moving. Any of you, add me and I'll…

I've only been on here for a few weeks, but you guys will love it! All of the tracking and accountability has helped me lose my 7lbs. I'm hoping for A LOT more, but a journey is travelled one step at a time, eh. Good luck, I'm sure you'll do great!

You'll definitely get the extra support you need here. Good luck and welcome.

Welcome! I'm sure you're going to love it here. If ya need a friend, hit me up :)

Wow! I'm so glad that I'm not the only one. Thank you all for your wonderful responses. I'm gonna have to get some new shoes and change up the direction I'm peddling. Thanks again all! <3

Yeah, just do some light walking, and drink a lot of water, I'm sure that extra few pounds will just fall right off. :)

Welcome!!

Welcome!~ Hope you like it here. :)

I agree with you, I love it here! Friend request on the way.

Sounds like you're doing everything right! Keep up the good work. Just try increasing your water intake. Sometimes, the smallest thing can make your body cling to water, it sucks!!

You can do it!! Hit me up if you need a friend :)

Good luck!! Glad you're doing it this way rather then continuing to use pills. I've done that before, and it completely screwed up my metabolism. I'm certain if you stick with us, you'll achieve your goals, friend request on the way :)

Welcome! I'm sure you're going to love it here. I've only been a member for a couple of days and already think it will help immensely. Good luck!

Welcome! I'm new too, hope you achieve your goals.

It does take a while to jump start things, trust me. But, maybe you're consuming a few too many calories?? Or maybe you're not eating the right, nutrient rich foods. It could be a lot of small things that just add up. Either way, keep going, you're doing great. I know it's hard but you can push through it.

When you're on your home page, there should be a button up top that show's you the goals you keyed in when you set up your account.

Thanks guys!! It's nice to see that everyone here is so friendly and supportive, this is exactly what I was looking for :D
