I had it for about a year, wore the strap, and my doc told me surgery was usually not successful. I decided to try acupuncture, and it cured it! It didn't take very many treatments. I was very skeptical as I had never tried any form of alternative medicine before that. Good luck, I know it is horribly painful.

Twelve step programs are spiritual, not religious. Your higher power is whatever you want it to be. I believe that anyone who is an addict is powerless over their addiction. I have been involved in a 12-step program for almost seven years, and it saved my life.

Greek Gods and Fage. I cannot stand the texture of Chobani.

I have been a member of Al-Anon for several years since I have several family members who struggle with addiction. 12 step groups are all different, so sometimes it takes awhile to find the right group for you. They are also free. You can search online for meeting times for groups where you live. I applaud your courage for…

I am so sorry for all the pain and loss you have experienced. Your story has really inspired me. Praying God's continued healing, peace and comfort in your life.

That may be what the report says, but several obese people i know have used it to justify their obesity.

I put my gym bag in the car and go straight there after work. If I don't, I will go home and not work out. Good luck!

I used to weigh once a week, but asked my husband to hide the scale and am now going to weigh once a month. Otherwise, I am too obsessive about the scale.

Wow! Amazing transformation. Congratulations on your success!

They will also bring plain breadsticks without all the butter on them upon request.

I have definitely cut down, even though I wasn't a huge drinker before. I do like wine, so now will just have an occasional glass. I do feel better when I don't consume it.

I had heavy bleeding as well, and had a uterine ablation several years ago. It is outpatient, not major surgery like a hysterectomy. Best thing I ever did.

I am 5'9', and I would be happy at 140. I am being realistic as I am almost 50 years old. Throughout my late teens and twenties I weighed 115-120, but that would be impossible for me to achieve at this point in my life.
