Hi there, congrats on your weight loss!! With your shape, I would start with anything that is wrap-style or that helps to accentuate the waist. Try to stay away from long flowy bouses that are "oversized" and loose or baggy, or stuff that falls of shoulder, etc... which sadly is the common trend right now (I hate it!). Not…

I struggled with this then finally realized I just needed to be strict with myself and either place it in a room that I don't go into all the time or hide it, then only weigh myself on a certain day. Give yourself a SET DAY that you weigh yourself... and DO NOT weigh in any other time. (I do every Friday morning, since…

So glad to hear you were able to get out and things may start to get to normal (whatever normal can be after such a destructive tornado :-( ).

Exactly why I did it!!! I am (used to be) a choc-o-holic... and when I saw "Oats and Chocolate" I was sold. And actually... those bars taste pretty darn good compared to any other 90 calorie option out there!.. Just wish it didn't do this to me!

Thanks, I'm really looking into the prune juice and magnesium... sounds like a winner versus the violent aftermath of some of the laxatives I've read about lol

Glad I'm not the only one! I used to be a once a day kind of gal (sorry, TMI)... just from eating fruit.. almonds... protein shakes, etc. I'm going to steer clear of anything relating to the brand Fiber One going forward.

Good information lol. I will look into the prune juice. :)

What type of gentle laxative? I know some have a bad reputation.. Maybe a tea??

What supplement do you take? At this point I just want to be regular again!

You're probably adding too much water. But really, shouldn't your herbalife distributor be helping you with this? I mean- thats why there's a ridiculous mark up on the stuff.. paying their salary.. so they should be able to at least help you make the shakes if they're going to sell em to ya!

Oh.. and I highly agree with this!!! The defaults are silly.

The macros are only a guideline. Set the goals how you would like and to what YOU feel you can acheive and maintain. If you want to stick to leaner meats, fruits and veggies, eggs, nuts, and limit your grains... then do a 40 protein 40 fat 20 carb. If you want freedom to have higher carbs... then do 40 carb, 30 protein, 30…

So far I see nothing wrong with your diary. As some others have said - weight loss success will come from a calorie deficit- doesn't really matter what is contained in that. Be it 50% sugar and 50% fat... etc. So if you want to eat chocolate and candy for a couple days straight but stay under your goal.. so be it. For…

I agree with others, if you're not hungry in the morning then don't eat. :) There are many Saturday or Sunday mornings when I've gone over on my calories the night before, and rather than eating a breakfast that morning because I "have to" I just go work out and assume I'm burning the overage of calories from the day…

Wow- everything you have described is like... PERFECT. :) Great job on your slow and steady weight loss so far and your dedication and determination. Ignore their comments. Its sad that people surrounding you will always jump to criticize before they compliment, even when its for the better. As many others have said,…

Phentermine is a prescription that you can only get from a doctor. Phentramine is sold over the counter, online... and its not the same thing. Be careful. You don't know who you're buying this from- and what they're putting in the pills. Just an FYI.

Sure why not.. it wouldn't hurt to do one in the morning, then one at night (if you have the energy for it... then go for it!). Or, as mentioned alternating days. They are both very challenging and will yield great results, however you don't want to get burnt out or hurt yourself.

Haha that is awesome! I've heard many women who have lost a ton of weight and leaned out, but then their muscles end up making them wear a different size or even make their old jeans fit differently. Not saying that happened here, but similar. :)

That is awesome!!!!!

Its only cheating when... as many others have said, people act like the ton of weight they've lost in a matter of months is from their hardwork, diet and exercise. Never acknowledging any procedure was done. Then make the rest of us.. who- by the way- are trying to lose the same amount of weight... look and feel as if…

You look great.. congratulations on the results from all your hard work and dedication!

This is so inspirational! Great job! You look amazing. I've only gotten as far as a few 5ks..but my goal is to run half marathons soon!

@ Bluefox.... Nepalese? You remind me of an old classmate who was from Nepal. :)

You probably would have better luck in the Recipes/Food message board... but here's one of my faves: Turkey Bacon-wrapped Asparagus Take 2-3 asparagus spears, clean and trim like normal Wrap with 1 piece of turkey bacon Cook as many as you would like in the oven at 425 for 12-15 minutes or until the bacon looks cooked.…

I saw in one of your other posts that you're 5'4" and at 150. Maybe try scaling back 10% on total calories and see if that works? I've seen many people have success by cutting their calories back just a little bit when they're not losing. Or, if you're taking in 1500 calories a day... maybe try getting at least 30 minutes…

My face looking thinner. With weight gain my face got this round shape to it, and my cheeks got chubbier. I've been all the way up to 172... and now I'm at 163 but it still looks round as if I haven't lost weight. I'm looking forward to losing a few more pounds and it not necessarily being a pant size- but a face size. :)…

Best of luck, I hope you get it! Even if you don't... stick around on here and you will reach all your goals and then some! :)
