Truly Amazing! Such an inspiration! Care to share some of what you did to make this amazing-ness happen? 7 months and 100lbs gone! I would be delighted with myself beyond words! Everything doesn't work for everyone... but always interesting to hear what worked when it worked as well as whatever you did for your weight…

My suggestion would be this.... something I learned while dealing with Gestational Diabetes- during both my pregnancies, and now with Type II Diabetes... ( well under control too! ) I do this: Eat 3 meals and 3 snacks every day. Spread about no more than 3 hours between each meal or snack. Make sure you are drinking your…

My Mother-in-Love turned me onto a book that has helped her with this very issue... I am still reading it and learning myself but thought you might want to know and look into it and see if it might help you. I hope it helps me like it helped my MIL :flowerforyou: The book is called: MASTER YOUR METABOLISM written by:…

Hmmmmm..... Microfiber? I find it fits better than cotton- and lets you "breathe" better than nylon.... It comes in various styles of panties from thongs to those lovely "granny pantaloons" :laugh: But seriously. I find the material doesn't ride, bunch, creep, crawl, or otherwise annoy me- it's like a second skin :wink:…

I have the same problem when it's that time of the month- Being aware of it is important- when you DO snack/eat... just keep in mind what you're putting in your mouth.... Eat three healthy meals each day- and three healthy snacks- drink water... keep your metabolism burning- and your tummy occupied.... You're going to gain…

Like another reply before mine- are you eating enough calories? If not- your body goes into starvation mode and stores what you do consume instead of burning it for energy. Like another reply before mine as well- 1/2 a pound is a healthy loss- Lose it too quickly and it's more likely to come back... I find with mine- I…

Hmmmmm... Beyonce' - I think she looks great- not too thick not too thin :flowerforyou: Just right

Yes! It's all the loads of carbs and sugars, and little to no protein. You get either lots of rice, noodles, breaded meats which have little to no meat in them... things in the sauces to make them thicker ( more starches ) and veggies. If you could pile up the proper portion of meat and veggies and carbs... you might do…

I lost weight once just tracking calories (No less than 1,000 and no more than 1,200) - limiting my fat gram intake to 25 or less per day... drinking two tall sports bottles of water each day- making sure I ate three times a day- and took a daily vitamin- it was a weight loss "program" called Prism. I was 25.... and I lost…

I am a hardcore Coffee and Iced Tea lover... However because of this, I have to make a point of drinking even MORE water since those things are diuretics... I am not a huge fan of plain, boring water most of the time... However.... I have found that there are certain Crystal Light mixes I like that will help me consume the…

Ok- My two cents on the calories burned from exercise is- I eat like I always do each day... on the days I exercise I increase my water in-take but I do not eat all those lovely calories I spent burning away at the gym... if you do that, you completely void out the workout... so why do it? I want to lose weight... not…

Grats on the job opportunity! As for the weight gain... have you been exercising? Working out? Anything that will cause you to build muscle? Remember muscle weighs more than fat! When I first began working out at Curves- I didn't see any significant weight loss right away- but let me tell you- once you get into a…
