What was the BP med? Just Google it and you'll be able to tell if its a diuretic. Congratulations on not needing it anymore!

Congratulations! That is so much more important than the numbers on a scale, at least from my perspective. What an amazing accomplishment. Keep up the good work!

Check your BG when you have these episodes, and keep it charted with your other BG checks. That information will be good to have when you see your doctor. Good luck!

Preach!

You should definitely talk to your GP. I assume he or she will do routine bloodwork again? Go in armed with all your questions.

Can you ask her to hide it? No joke, my fiance hides the junk he buys at my request. He usually eats it when I'm not around or awake. I don't have the self-control he has, so he knows if his bag of chips is going to last , he has to hide it (or get a flavor I don't like). Its not perfect but it works.

I'm 5'5'', 165lbs. My eventual goal is 132, but really I'd just like to lose 15lbs before my wedding in September. Feel free to add me!

Not in your boat, but I wish you the best of luck OP!

Yes. I'm also working a lot of overnights and its winter, so it feels like everything is a fight right now. The best thing I'm doing right now is justportion control. I'm not eating or exercising like I should/could be, but I'm not eating three portions of everything like I want to.

Whenever I eat a lot of fruit I go over. Whenever I eat two eggs I go over on cholesterol. My labs have always been good, so I figure it's not worth stressing over if I'm not eating an entire meat-lover's pizza or a pint of ice cream by myself.

I love black beans. I just made some last night. Sautee onions and peppers, once they are soft add some canned black beans and frozen corn. Season with cumin/chili powder/crushed red pepper if you like it spicy, some lemon juice, and throw in tomato towards the end. Let it simmer so the fluid cooks off.

Congratulations! And regardless of your weight your eyebrows are on point!

I'm getting married in September. I looked up under groups and there are some wedding related groups but it doesn't look like people are active in them.

The first time I did T25, I got through alpha but didn't finish beta. It was hard because I honestly didn't have 25 minutes of cardio in me, but I improved a lot by the end. I don't remember my weight loss numbers but I remember feeling accomplished and amazed at how much I could do of the workouts by the end of the first…

Wow congrats on your weight loss! Add me

I'm doing T25 too. I usually do something simple like going for a walk, unless I work 12 hours because I walk a lot at work.

The fact is, you are concerned about the health of you and your baby, and if I were you, I would call your doc and schedule a visit. Be prepared - write down all your concerns, what if's, etc. If you need print outs of what was said at the appointment or a plan, ask for them. If your weight management program doesn't suit…

I rotate, but I'm on nights for the next month. I wish I knew how to do it healthier haha but I'm trying just like you.

Gotta love those 12's

I'm basically your wife. I'm on and off MFP, on and off diet/exercise fads, gaining/losing small amounts of weight, and I have a insecurities about my body. And I have this great fiance, who is also trying to lose weight. It sucks, and whenever my fiance tries to make a helpful suggestion, it just aggravates me. I would…

I'm getting married in September! I'm trying to be realistic, so my goal is to lose 25lbs for it, but I'd really like to more.

Your goal depends on a lot of things. There are a million people here who can and will give you advice on how to accomplish it. My only suggestion is not to think of it as 65lbs in 6 months. I think breaking it up into a goal of two lbs a week or eight lbs a month is a nicer way to put it. That way, you have a specific…

People are overreacting about the flavor, but not the price, which is pretty ridiculous. I wish I'd done some research into alternatives before purchasing it. I wasn't so crazy about any supplement to begin with, but its such an easy cheat vs planning my meals to really meet my protein goals...

Can you call your doctor rather than waiting a month? Depending on your relationship with your doctor, he/she may not charge you for a quick phone consult. Especially they are the person who prescribed this med and should be monitoring you for side effects. It sounds like you have orthostatic hypotension, the fancy name…

I try to exercise so I have more calories to play with, first of all. I've been trying to substitute vegetables for pasta whenever I can, since that is a vice of mine and doesn't really add a whole lot of nutrition. I eat a lot of yogurt, eggs, and chicken. Mostly portion control does the job.

I'm 25 and hoping to lose about 50lbs and keep it off. On one hand, it seems like an impossible task, but on the other hand, getting to be as heavy as I did seemed like it was impossible too. Funny how that worked lol.

I hear you. When I drink, I drink, and then I eat. And it has been glorious, and now I have to keep track of my calories, and it sucks! What I had been doing to curb hangovers is alternating each alcoholic drink with a glass of water. Fewer hangovers, fewer hangover binges. I don't really have any advice on the food end of…

Yes, and keep it off! I've been up and down with my weight since high school, and I need to take control and maintain the changes I make. I recently became a nurse and that has only encouraged me to lose weight and get healthy; I see so many patients with unhealthy baselines who have to overcome so much more than someone…
