I had surgery on May 26. I spent a week in the hospital with complications. I didn't lose a single pound, AND I was on a clear liquid diet for a week. A week later, I started melting. Then I hit a plateau where inches would melt off. Then weight. Then inches. Take your measurements, weigh in weekly, and follow the diet to…

My then bff had gb and once she dropped about 100 lbs and I went to visit. She said to me " I'm getting rid of my clothes. If there's anything you want get it now or it's going to goodwill." short, sweet and to the point.

I used to feel that way but not so much any more. I started taking a good multivitamin and working out first thing in the morning. I also eat a bar. I choose Access, but whatever you choose, make sure it burns quickly (carbs, whey) eat it ahead of your workout. Like 20 minutes or so. I burned 800 calories today with only a…

I was able to lose 60 pounds during and immediately after pregnancy. Got that little sucker and gained back 30 but started noticing my hair was breaking off in hand fulls and now that I have 6 months left I'm super emotional around what would have been my period though I never was before. I have been able to lose weight,…

I do. It's oatmeal/bagel sandwich (egg whites, whole wheat bagel thin and meat of some sort). Lunch is usually left overs or a salad dinner just depends on which state I'm in.

Until yesterday I was the pal that never denied a friend request no matter what. Then I started noticing girls in my list that aren't eating or are drama queens and supremely judgmental or use foul language. I'm not that kind of person. I take a vested interest in the people on my friends list and it really breaks my heart…

You should have said " I know RIGHT!" Smacked your *kitten* and kept on running... idiots...

I used to work for a large retail operation. Here's what you do. Complain. LOUDLY. Obviously someone thinks it's sexy because they manufactured the damn thing AND it sold out. If the sales person doesn't want to do her job and be pofessional she shouldnkt be working there. She is not entitled to define sexy as it applies…

American. For the total break down- African American (can't you tell?), Native American (can't you tell?), German/Irish (probably couldn't tell this one).

Same. Most nights it's the running thoughts thing, but some nights its just like you described it. NO good reason, just hit my second wind at bed time. On those nights I usually clean or read a book and about half an hour later I'm tired.

If you were going out to get oil why did you just buy yourself something healthy to eat? Just because she wants to eat crap doesn't mean you have to. You can cook for yourself.

LOL

SAHM with insomnia here. Feel free to add me :)

ok... I'm backwards from the norm I guess. When I started I tracked my typically day for a week. I was eating 900 cals or less except on Sunday's when we would visit family and I would eat around 2000/2500. Edit: No, I don't have and ED, I'm just never hungry even though I'm fluffy. I have to work very hard to stuff 2000…

I had a friend who fought for 3 years or more to have the surgery done. She was denied and denied and every turn. FINALLY she got the surgery one Christmas eve... it's now 3 years later and she has had her entire stomach removed because of it. I'm not saying it was the doctors and I'm not saying it was her, but both are to…

I quit smoking last month... what it is about smoking that makes you want to go? I never smoked in the house or anything so it was just odd. I think it was the coffee and not the cigarette, but they went hand in hand. Yes, I stopped my morning cup too because it was a trigger. One day I made some coffee in the a.m. and…

Me too!!

You should eat at your bmr. It's already a deficit. Any less and you're starving yourself. I just had to up my calories as well because I started to gain. I'd increased my workouts as well and quit smoking while staying in my goal and gained 5 lbs. There's not that much water to gain on my body. So I started eating more…

Depends on you and your fitness level. I'm doing it now and it killed me. I had to take two days off because I was so sore. Back at it tomorrow though. I would say, try it one day,.see what u think and then plan accordingly.

The pool burns double calories because your body is fighting to stay warm while you're moving. I wear an hrm and burn mega calories on it, but then I add about 200/hr for the "keeping warm" aspect.

Steve, 8 for the half if your face I can see ;)

O.D. Student here... Didn't want the M.D. Burning eyeballs is not my idea of a fun time.

You have to think positive ON PURPOSE until it becomes natural. Such a huge key. You also have to own things. So for you it's ur butt. Own it! Think "my butt looks big. But it's mine, big and all. Someone some where wants this booty and I got it" then shake it,.smack it, laugh at yourself and roll on. Lying to yourself is…

Exactly. A weight problem is often times hiding deeper issues.

I have an hrm but I add my exercise so it's called "jillian michaels is the devil" in my database ;)

For me, it's like Nike said- just do it. I hate going to workout. I can come up with a million reasons not to, but I just had to realize I love me. I want me to be around for as long as I can be. Even though right now I'm healthy yet fluffy, it's not a guarantee that it'll be like that forever. I don't want to wait until…

*Raises hand* I totally love me some me! It's not about shape or pants size for me. It's about health. I may not always love what I have seen in the mirror, but I always knew it was up to me to change it. I've done that a couple times. Now, it's a lifestyle thing for me. I love me still, but I wanted to quit smoking…
