I find that when I drink water or chew minty gum, my cravings go away instantly. So, give that a try :) Good luck!

21 here at 5'6" and 35lbs to go :) Feel free to add me

Definitely bump for later!! <3

7/10 :P

Yup...20lbs that won't budge. I've just finished resetting my metabolism(I hope) and now I'm going back into deficit. I hope this works!!

"That will mess up my calories" ...lol I felt like one of those skinny girls always concerned about their weight

Same here, if anyone wants to be steam pals send over a pm :)

Canned cheese, Mayo, Soda, Most juices, All hostess products..there's probably more

Lol! This is very true for me. I am always on, whether I'm posting or just lurking.

I've heard it's not wise to keep up the exercise while flaring. Going through a flare the most important thing is to get your body as much rest as possible. I would exercise in between flares. Another thing you could do, which is probably the best thing, is to confront your specialist on your exercise routine. Ask what the…

Hi Kelly! Congratulations on getting off the prednisone! We all love and hate that drug :P Luckily, the weight gain from prednisone is mostly water weight. You will find that coming right off within two weeks of trying to lose weight. Let me tell you something, exercise is your friend if done right(Like, don't start off…

Every tip helps! Thank you very much :) I will try sticking to it for another month. I'm in no rush to lose since I'm pretty okay with where I'm at now but I would at least like to see some movement :P

Yeah..I've been pretty bad lately with the processed foods :embarassed: I will place in the fiber column though! I've always been scared to listen to my body when it says it's hungry but I will give it a try :) Thank you for your help!

Thank you kindly! :)

Bump for help

I don't really pay attention to my carb intake. I just happen to end up in the 130-200 range. I haven't noticed it affecting my weight loss.

A bit over 2100 calories a day

You go girl ;)

I also have iron-deficiency anemia. It's really hard for me to get iron through my food so I just take a vegan Iron supplement :P

Hmm..This is certainly interesting. Before my lifestyle change I used to sleep way too much. Even if I slept early I would wake up around noon. After my lifestyle change, I can still go to sleep early just fine but I wake up when I get my full 7-8hours(without my alarm ;P)

Tuna, Lemon Juice, black pepper. Bam done

Gaah Cheesecake is my ultimate weakness D: OP: Great job! :) We're all proud of you!

lol I'm sure that works every time! :P

lol I honestly have tried telling them as politely as I could but it's not so easy when you grow up in a household following old fashion beliefs such as "the older the wiser" or "respect your elders, don't talk back"

Makes me feel better to see others understand what I'm going through :) Thank you everyone <3

Barbara's Bakery Puffins Cereals :D My favorite <3

Agreed, makes you feel not so alone in the battle against our own bodies. Thank you for recognizing my achievements so far. Honestly, the weight loss has help a lot when coping with flare ups. Being heavy puts more stress on our joints. Your 20lb achievement is also so awesome! Before you know it you will fly past that…

Wow, congrats! :D I can't relate to how difficult it must have been but I'm sure it was very difficult. I haven't had a sip of soda in over 8 years thanks to my mom getting me into the habit of only drinking water

I tried figuring this out as well and I found out there is no difference. Europeans use kCal and Americans just say cal. Most of the food I eat comes from Turkey and on the nutrition facts it says kcal so thats why I needed to know.
