dark chocolate

special k chocolate drizzle bars

would canned bean work as well?

would it be possible to get your jam recipes?

not to be a wet blanket, but your health is at risk while you try and fix the problem. I would suggest taking the medication WHILE you work toward your goal, then you can talk to your doctor about going off them. I have been able to reduce some of mine already with a goal of none oc

heavier weigths

When an experienced ob nurse argued that I was pregnant! LOL

I have never heard of a single stress incident leading to a heart attack without other factors involved. Don't feel guilty, remember the good stuff.:cry:

my first it was fresh strawberries and salted peanuts (at the same time) with my second it was pickled pigs feet lol:laugh:

def a nsv:happy:

jalapeno potato chips, and i didn't find them till after i started this program LOL

So you don't stay under 1400, big deal. You have made such incredible progress, you should be very proud of yourself.

I haven't watched the kardashians/honey boo boo or Jersey shore either. Haven't played WOW either LOL

Welcome! Remember you didn't get to this point in one day and realize it won't take one day to fix it. Take it one day at a time. I personally found little exercise goals worked best for me at the start. Always ppl here willing to help:flowerforyou:

Every drug has some kind of possible side effects. ASK your doctor. Also any good physician/surgeon/anesthetist will be paying attention and should be able to notice signs of pain. Just remember it is your right to be informed and information is available.

ask her doctor for his opinion. If he agrees with you take a note from him to the school and tell to stick it where the sun don't shine!

Started in Jan of 2012, mid 50's for age, lost 30ish so far. It can be done. good luck

have read some research regarding cinnamon and reduced sugar levels. Doctor said to give it a try there was no harmful side effects to be worried about. I know part of my better sugar controls is my lifestyle changes, but even my doctor was impressed with the changes in such a short time.

keep a list of your qualifications handy. Who knows listening to you handle your own child during the interview might be a good thing.

maybe it is just me, but ppl who lose slower seem to adjust better. Also my doctor said to lotion, lotion, lotion. I have lost 30 and so far so good, just a little sag here and there but even it is improving

non-scale victory

pear tea if you can find it, has it's own sweet flavor

Feel proud, I can't swim hardly at all. Just remember you are doing this for you and you are doing what you need to do to get healthy.

You can't fix stuped or insensitive. Try asking them to join you LOL. Ignore them and keep up the good work.

Keep up the good work, it's working

any amount of exercise is better than none. I have sciatic pain and have limitations. I walk 15 minutes at a time, 3 times a day with no break 3 or 4 times a week. Why that may not sound like much, I can see an improvement in my general fitness and have lost pain. SO hang in there and do what you can.

calorie deficit makes me lose weight. But even the mild exercise I can do helps me tone.

If that's overweight, GOD let it happen to me LOL. She may not fit the BMI index, but there is more to health than that. I love her confidence in who she is.

Some of the same reasons. Excitement, guilt, they don't think it makes a difference anymore and so many more.

Mix of light mayo and mustard works for me.
