I take a beta blocker (propanol) for anxiety. It doesn't give me the weight gain I have experienced with other anti-anxiety meds. No problems with exercise and I have lost a ton of weight since taking it.

Here's my two cents (for what it's worth), I am a busy mom of 3, wife, and work part time. I strongly encourage you to try HIIT it really helps me! and the effects last 3 days! As far as diets, don't do it. I have paid for, tried, and/or done EVERYTHING to lose weight! The support I found on mfp, at home, and with a few…

I agree! Eat on my friend! If you 'diet' you will never maintain your weight loss!

I had the same issues when I was nursing! I didn't really start losing until our babies were about 5 months. In the beginning I always felt hot, sweaty, and bloated. But then the pounds started coming off. I nursed 1st 6mo, 2nd 12mo, 3rd 14mo. I watched calories and exercised but for whatever reason 5 months was my mark,…

I use Lotrimin Antifungal when irritated and baby powder with cornstarch when not infected. It is painful and embarrasing but can be managed until you have surgery. I want to lose 32 more, then surgery. (although the doctor believes I should now). Good luck!

Late night eating, holidays, and fast food!

AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You look awesome!

Keep going! I started my WLJ in 2001 and kept weight off until 2007 when I regained 80! Since November 6, 2011 I have lost over 112 pounds!!! for a total loss of 166 pounds!!!!!! I own one pair of pants from then (sz 34)! I am now the smallest I have been in my adult life! YOU CAN DO THIS!!!! It is a constant day to day…

I didn't notice a difference until about 50 pounds. If you take your measurements that will help. We tend to lose from the 'outside in' meaning you will notice your face, arms, neck, legs 1st. The difference in clothing is because we tend to wear clothes that are bigger b/c we are hiding. I am still trying to get used to…

Everyone looks amazing!

Then 21 Now 40 We have a freshman in college! (the other two were born in my early 30s)

YOU LOOK AMAZING!

Scam because the secret to dieting (staying slim) is calories! I can't list the ways I have tried to lose weight and some work- for a while. MFP is the ONLY thing that works for me!

Halloween 2011 and Halloween 2012...

My Halloween last year and this year pics! Congrats to you too! You look amazing! I want to lose about 30 more before I have skin removal. My doctor said I am ready though but I think I can take the 30 off! Keep going, it is hard but totally worth it!

:smile:

As someone who has dieted my entire life...I count calories (now). In 2002 I dieted, lost 70 and gained back. In 2005 I dieted, lost 84 and gained back more. In 2012 I changed my thinking, didn't diet and I have lost 106 and continue to lose!!! I eat whatever I want, I live my life! If I am going out to dinner I eat less…

CONGRATS!!! Your hair looks adorable!

He is a smart man! Due to scarcity economists expect the price of bacon to increase as high as 10%! OUCH. My husband has never turned bacon down, looks like i may need to get a second job! LOL

You have done AMAZING! It is a constant struggle! You need to be proud of your accomplishments and take one day at a time! I notice that when I have a big loss week, I reward myself with food. BIG MISTAKE bc it goes against everything I want! When I get in a rut now I change my hair, get a pedicure, or ride a…

Happened to me too...being weighed in front of all of the girls in my 7th grade class. The nurse wrote the weight down and the doctor said 'obese'. I didn't know what that meant so I went home and looked it up and cried!

The day before my wedding in October 2000, I was getting a manicure at a spa with my bridal party. The salon was in an old mansion with anitque furniture- when it was my turn I sat "carefully" and broke the chair. I was mortified and then had to endure an hour of the manicurist describe in detail how AMAZING her dress was…

My husband got me started on MFP and is my biggest supporter! Now we have some of our friends and our BIL on too! My husband has lost 20 pounds with about 10 more to go! I am halfway to my goal!

Doing this on dietbet.com with some friends on here. Free to sign-up/use and you can do posts to each other and track weights- friendly competition. Goal is to lose 4% of current weight in 28 days! You can either go with monetary value or reward of your choice. It has definitely kept me motivated during this plateau period.

Thanks for posting this! I am going to get more information and try it. Been at a plateau and have been looking for new ideas! I do not eat breakfast and eat most of my calories between dinner and bedtime.

It definitely depends on your body. I gain weight on birth conrtol pills unless they are progesterone based. Listen to your body and work with your doctor. I suggest starting with a bloodwork and further testing esp. since you have such terrible periods. I was not diagnosed until 27 with PCOS after years of miserable…

I weigh everything, I have to....guesstimating is what got me into this mess! I measure everything too!

On my birthday my husband presented me with a cake that said 'will you marry me?' with the ring on top. Took me a minute to notice that the cake did not say 'Happy Birthday'! I was so surprised! We have been married for 12 years and I still adore and admire him.

I used to do the Lean Cuisine but now I make a little extra at dinner so I can take leftovers to work for lunch. Saves $ and sodium counts. I do love the peanut butter chicken pasta one though!

Overnight Blueberry French Toast- YUM! 110 calories if made in 8x8 and cut in 12 pcs. Spray glass dish, tear up 8 slices of low cal bread (Nickles), add fresh or frozen blueberries.
