I do. I'm not sure of the brand name because I have a generic but it's side effect is MAJOR weight gain. So I have to be super strict with how I eat and exercise just to maintain much less take any weight off. But the meds really help my moods and I am slowly progressing in weight loss :) How about you?

Way to go!!!

That's exciting!!! Great job!!!

Actually thats great. sounds like you are doing good

I'm a carboholic and sugar addict but had no choice but to change because it was causing me more health problems then I ever would have guessed... Do you get frequent headaches or dizziness?

I hold on as well because I cannot allow my arms to hang because of trouble with my shoulder. That guy was very rude. What he did was uncalled for

So how has everyone recovered from these times?

Do you really think so?

I'm so glad I'm not alone in this. I guess my body finally decided the way i used to eat is no longer acceptable.

Oh yeah I've had bad days...but on days like that, just log your food like you normally would and put in your notes why you screwed up. Move forward with each day like new. Don't let it get you down.

I will have to show this to my daughter...she may find it very interesting

CONGRATS!!! You are doing great!

Great job!!!!

As silly as this will sound...what is 2 stone? I'm a silly American who just doesn't know what that means. Beyond that try drinking more water and maybe upping your calories to 1300 and see what happens. If you are still having trouble, call a doctor. I know how you feel though. I've lost 20 pounds and then hit a wall...no…

Wow!!! You look great :)

I use either slimfast powder or slimquick powder. The slimquick doesn't dissolve in the milk as well as the slim fast. But i don't drink it for weight loss really. I have no appetite in the morning. My belly gets upset if i try to get food in there within hours of getting up so i use those instead. They trick my belly into…

I see you agree with the majority. I still do not but I respect you opinion. I do however like your idea. it would have been better to place this in a blog. I should have done that. i like the way you stated your argument. It was original and impressive even if it does not change my mind. thank you for putting it in a way…

Apparently my opinion is in the minority and i am sorry if I have offended anyone. I have not changed my opinion but I do respect all of yours. I apologize if I have upset anyone.

I see that the majority opinion is that I am wrong to assume that it was inappropriate to post parenting questions here. I do not understand or agree but i apologize if my misunderstandings have offended anyone. It was not my intention.

Congrats! :)

I think the whole get over yourself comment was a little rude and uncalled for. I understand stress effects weight but parenting sites are the place to discuss spanking. So are child abuse sites. This is a weight loss and nutrition site. Parenting questions that have nothing to do with weight loss or nutrition do not…

I don't think this has anything to do with eating nutritiously, exercising, and losing weight. This conversation should not be posted here.

A very happy birthday indeed! You look amazing! Great job! :)

I understand your point. The weight loss is unrealistic for people not on the show. It is obvious that it is not reality. There was one show where you could tell all the females were wearing something holding tummies in. But even with that said, I do enjoy the show. There are some exercises and tips I would not have…

Wow!!!

At our buffett there is always grilled salmon available as well as salad and fruit. Start with a big salad to fill yourself up, then SMALL amounts of your favorites...enough to enjoy without regret :)

First thing you should do is set a good example. Do not purchase foods he should not be eating. Dress up the foods he should be eating to get him used to them. Food coloring...mixing them with other foods...flavoring them different.. Change the rules...you have to at least try what you are served...you have to eat this…

Increase your fiber and water intake....if you are still having trouble talk to your doc

I think you've already started. You are here and have decided to change your life. Congrats! that's the hardest step! As for suggestions...track everything that goes in your mouth and all movements you make. Then you will know where you stand. Reduced your sodium and carb intake. Up your fiber and water intake. Get some…

I used to feel the same way. I discovered by limiting my carbs it helped me find more energy. Not a lot but I'm not sleeping 15 hours a day any more. The hardest part is starting. You can do it. Making small changes you can handle instead of jumping in with both feet may be easier. Try tracking what you eat and what…
