I sent you a friend request.:flowerforyou:

I think that is something that changes as we lose weight. Now, there is no way in hell I would post a pic of myself in work out clothes or a bikini, much less my undies. Maybe if I was at my goal weight, maybe. Right now, however, you are lucky to get the pic of me on my profile at all. I hate having my pic taken, always…

Wow - just wow, that this guy just keeps following the doc's orders knowing that he will soon be right back to where he started. He seriously needs some help from someone that knows what the hell they are talking about. Have an honest conversation with him about this site and finding a new doctor. Maybe seeing that someone…

Men and women lose weight at totally different rates. What may be causing her moodiness, is she is trying to cut too many calories from her diet at one time. So she may feel deprived. She needs to aim to lose 1 lb per week by cutting calories from her diet, by working out more; or a combination of the two. Her choice…

But that doesn't make that statement true. My 96 y/o diabetic grandmother eats white bread only, and that is all she has ever eaten. She doesn't eat a lot of it, maybe two pieces a day, but that is still the only bread she eats. She refuses to try any type of wheat bread.

This is actually how the sneezing starts out.

@jeenak, nope not drinking too fast, just eating. I can't chug drinks. That's actually nice to know! Yay, I'm not a freak after all.

I don't have to have a full stomach for the hiccups to make me sick. I just hiccup so hard that it makes me sick. The next morning my stomach muscles/diaphragm will be sore from it.

Nope, my mother is the same way. She can take a Zyrtec and be knocked out for hours on end. Where as I can take most anything and keep on bouncing. I've even become immune to Demerol/Phenegran shots. I can get one, and walk out the door, drive myself home (though the Drs won't let me), and do whatever. They don't even make…

I think most people that use the MIO, use it to their taste. I don't think there is a particular # of squirts. Use it to your taste. Try one squirt, if that is too weak for you try some more. I see nothing wrong with it, as long as it gets you to drink water.

Zyrtec is supposed to be a non-drowsy medication. I take mine of a morning, and have no issues with being sleepy whatsoever. Allergies are a pain in the *kitten* though. You might try adding a Tbsp or 2 of natural, local honey to your diet. It can help with your allergies. But it has to be local honey, not what most…

Most of those are common sense, but sometimes it takes seeing common sense in writing for it to sink in. Great article, thanks for sharing!

I see no problem with you eating off the kid's menu, whatsoever. Even if the place has a problem with it, point out that your friend ordered off the regular menu, just like an adult and child coming in together. They still make their profit from the adult menu to cover the kid menu item. If you can't get the answer you…

Hey girl, I'm from SC AR, a little town called Camden.

Oh, Darling I completely understand your situation. My story is reversed however. I wanted to quit smoking, but was concerned that I would put MORE weight on. My Dr. prescribed me Chantix, which I had to quit taking because I was not sleeping except every 3-4 days. I would literally lay in bed awake all night long trying…

I don't think an hour a day seven days a week is obsessive at all, especially when you consider the thirty minutes a day minimum is recommended. I could see you viewing it as obsessive if it totally dominated your life, where you had to work out for multiple hours a day, think four or five hours; but I think an hours is a…

Channel Nike, and just do it!!!:wink:

I live in southern Arkansas, in a little town called Camden. We're the town where history lives, and that's about the only thing that does. I currently own two horses, and care for my BMF's (Best Male Friend) horse. Lady is a 16.3 hh 1,200 lb APHA mare, 13 y/o. Fancy is a unpapered QH mare 8 y/o, 15.2 hh and about 1,000…

Congrats on taking the first step to changing your life and health, admitting honestly what needs to be changed. If going to that gym bothers you so much, try another gym or go at a different time. As for the size 2 girls, if they were not concerned with gaining weight, they would not be there! Very few people can eat…

I wouldn't worry too much about it. Things like that do happen, and we may not know why. As for lifting heavy, if you are worried about bulking up (which isn't going to happen) just lift heavier than you used to. Chances are, you will find that lifting is actually making you look slimmer, and more fit. Then you'll want to…

:heart: Very nice! Very nice!:heart:

If you are serious about working out, talk to your doctor about what he/she would want you doing. I would assume that your medical history will dictate what and how much you can do to begin with. Start slow, and don't overload yourself to begin with. You'll burn yourself out and quit. Make this a gradual change so your…

Please go to a doctor before you do more damage to your shoulder. If your regular doc doesn't want to refer you to a specialist, ask for a second opinion. Either that or insist on being sent to a specialist. It's your health and well being on the line, not your doc's.

One day is not going to make or break a diet. Just move on, and eat like you are supposed to today. You didn't get fat by eating a whole bunch in one day, so doing that once is not going to keep you fat. Don't try to punish yourself by not eating at all today. Just eat normally today and watch for doing that again in the…

If you're working out 6 days a week, with both cardio and weight training, you need to eat your exercise calories. 1,200 calories is no where near enough to fuel all of that activity! You have to feed your body to see the results. Also, as your muscle content comes up, you will burn even more calories, and should have to…

I think you are a wonderful person for doing this for your mother. Realize that this is going to be hard on all of you. She is taking a huge step by coming to you for any amount of time to try to learn how to do this on her own. Congratulate her on that fact. Below are the steps that I would take, if it were me. 1.) Talk…

Anybody?:flowerforyou:

You are more than a number on a scale. You have to learn to love yourself before you can be happy, regardless of weight. After my divorce, I had a bad habit of telling myself every negative thing that my EX would call me. Some of them were not very nice at all. I started with one statement, and replaced it with another,…
