Yep, can totally see it! You look great!

Ask your physician about taking Topamax, it is for migraines and it makes carbonated beverages taste like crap. I used to drink 3 cans of diet coke a day and I have been taking it for three months now and have had two cans of diet coke the entire time. Just doesn't taste the same. Topamax helps the headaches. I do drink…

Maybe I am doing it wrong. I do Zumba 2 on Wii on carpet barefoot and I haven't had too much problem. Of course it isn't as great as being on a hard floor but being in my cramped living room isn't as good as being in a classroom either. I can deal with it though. Works for me, although I might not be doing the moves in the…

I stopped eating breakfast because frankly I am just not hungry in the morning. I eat lunch and dinner and I always eat something before bed. I have to have my evening snack or I feel like I am depriving myself "dieting". This is how I like it and I am not going to change it. I am still losing weight and I am I eating…

I didn't have a c-section, had two kids naturally and I am here to tell you that my pooch is ugly. I contstantly in the past get asked if I am pregnant (I just has another baby three months ago so if they ask me now I think I might smack someone). Mine is genetic though. My Grandma looked pregnant at 83 when she passed, my…

I do what I did with Weight Watcher's, they will only take your weight once a week so that is what I do. Now with that said I have a ritual. I weigh on the same day wearing the same pj's (although if I would have thought about it sooner I would have done it in the buff) and right when I wake up each week so it is as…

Bump brings the topic back up to the top of the message board because someone new has commented on it so it doesn't become old where no one comments anymore and becomes lost in the old messages. Okay I just did Zumba 2 on Wii for the first time. I would have to say that it is similar to a class. If you want to find a class…

Bump saving for later, great recipes!

Steak, Seafood, Chinese Food, Homemade Rolls with butter. I could have all of these together as well no need to seperate.

I like lots of color. Mixed fresh fruits and mixed fresh sauted veggies make me feel good. I even feel the urge to take picture of the food because it looks so pretty. :)

When I consumed more calories I was drinking a ton of alcohol which made me eat more. Now I don't drink.....actually I had two beers last weekend and two glasses of wine over a month ago but that is about it. Before I could drink 6 beers a night. That is about 700 calories a night. Yeah I know, I had a drinking problem.…

Just bought Wii Zumba 2 today after taking a Zumba class for a month and losing 9 pounds this month following a low cal diet, zumba, and walking. I am stepping it up this month and doing Zumba three times a week in April and plan to lose at least 10 pounds and hoping to lose 12 pounds in 5 weeks. Sorry can't tell you how…

I am a pretty negative person (I am working on that) and I I tend to judge people on first impressions (just realized this and realized that I usually think people are snobby and they are usually just shy like me).

I think I have taken everything out there. I took ephedra when it was legal. i took phentermine and my pharmacist begged me not to do it. I used to buy it online and lie about my weight to get it so an online Dr would prescribe it. I used to take all that caffeine pills that you get at the gas stations and some other…

Add me! I had a baby in December and gained 48 pounds and I am trying to lose that and then some. I also did WW in the past and tried to do that on my own after the baby and for some reason and didn't work like it used. So far MFP has really helped me (been on here for 2 monthes and lost 22 lbs so far). Good luck on your…

LOL to giggling in yoga class. You sound like a blast to be with. I think you are doing everything you are suppose to. I really do! I think you will get your answers once you meet with your doctor and your nutritionist.

Have you been tested for PCOS? Another option is have you tried a gluten free diet? I am thinking of some things that have happened to some of my girlfriends that have made them gain weight that was hard to detect at first. PCOS I believe makes you insulin resistant and makes you gain and I believe gluten has something to…

I am 31 working mom. I have a 6 year old girl and three month old boy. I took my daughter to school today and there wasn't school today. Yeah I am that kind of Mom. I don't know which way to go most days. My meals are quick, if they take more than an 45 minutes from start to finish then then they better be in a crock pot.…

That is just absolutley amazing. Good job!

That is odd because the first profile pic that I posted on MFP I cut my husband out. LOL! He was sleeping in a chair in the background though, don't really think he wanted people to see that. Hahahahaaaa! . I used to post more pics of my husband when I first started with facebook but they looked "fake" because it was the…

Oh yeah! Much better! You look great girl!

I really must disagree with all the posters. I have lost weight by walking, of course I start doing intervals of jogging at some point but not much. I also walk 4.0 mph or higher at all times but you can definately lose weight by walking. There is a good DVD set called Walk Away the Pounds by Leslie Sansone that is a great…

Hi Denise, I am Julie and 31. I hate excerise too. In fact, I avoiding it right now by reading the chat board. Ugh. I am going to send you a friend request. We can help support each other if you would like to accept. Good luck on your journey!

Edamame, yummy! You can use some soy sauce and some sea salt on them but I just put bag in the microwave and then dash some garlic salt on them. Another really good one is roasted caulifllower. Drizzler oliver oil over a head of caulifloweer with some garlic salt and rosemary (if you have some) and bake at 400 for about 25…

Kansas University. Rock Chalk Jayhalks!

I was going to make black bean and corn salsa today. I haven't made it in forever. I love it! Yummy!

i also like to get Bremmer's Turkey Meatball's in the frozen food's. They are quick to throw in the oven with some pasta. I go to Aldi's on a weekly basis. I have gone since I was kid. My parent's were those poor people that somone mentioned earlier. I learned a lot growing up frugal. I am tight with with my money, only…

There is actually quite a few things online you can try for free try you tube or tumblr. My baby is 12 weeks old and I have done DVD's Walk Away The Pounds which is very easy gets the heart going but can be boring, Denise Austen Low Impact which is somewhat fun, Zumba online, taking a Zumba class once a week, and also…

It can happen to any of us. I hear blow drying their hair keeps them away. Chill out tonight, have a cup of tea, take a hot bath, wath a movie, or have a good cry do what makes you feel okay without heading to the fridge. This to shall pass.

Looks like more than 20 pounds. You look way more slender. Your face and and stomach are the biggest changes. Keep it up girl you look great!
