Thank you. I've tried everything prior to medication. Nothing worked so I'm sure when I go back to my doctor in August she'll want to put me on something different. I hate medicine!

I was on Crestor for the last couple of years. I recently stopped taking it (but haven't told my Dr.) because my legs were hurting so bad I could barely walk, much less exercise. I also had trouble losing any weight. I only stopped my Crestor 3 weeks ago but already my legs do not hurt anymore. I still have the problem…

I take fiber gummies every single morning. I take 2. They don't fill me up but they do have calories. I have IBS with constipation and I've found these fiber gummies to be the only thing that keeps me regular after suffering for years and years with this disorder. I forgot to add they are Vitafusion Fiber Gummies. They are…

Most definitely. I sit behind a computer all day. I also think stress and lack of sleep play a big part in weight gain.

Thank you so much for clarifying. All this blood sugar stuff can be so confusing!

Coffeeaholic here! I drink it all day long! I can't function without it.

End of August 2012 while on vacation with my daughter.

Nail polish remover from the husband in my stocking. And that was all that was in there. Kind of disappointing but kind of funny too.

Wow! You have described how I've been feeling for quite some time now. I chalked it up to age and menopause. I've had my thyroid checked among other things. All is normal. The problem is that I've been getting more and more tired as time goes on. Just feeling pretty much lifeless most of the time. I think I'll start eating…

That is my all time FAVORITE place to eat! What I've learned to do is eat more moderately. I get the 6 ounce sirloin instead of the 8 ounce. I always get a salad but only put one tbsp of dressing on it. Rather than a baked potato that I use to always get, I've been getting a lower calorie side. And, I always splurge on one…

That's a great success! Congratulations on all of your hard work!

Bump for later

Thanks for the info psulemon. I have just been diagnosed as pre-diabetic and have no real clue what I should or shouldn't be doing. I've only been learning from the internet.

I have been cheated on. My husband of 27 years cheated. We separated for 3 years but never divorced. We are now trying to reconcile. I will say that it isn't easy. The trust has been destroyed and I don't know if it'll ever come back. In saying that, he is my husband. He is human. We all make mistakes. Some worse than…

I would also be interested in finding out an answer to your question as I have the same problem. My pants will fit me in the morning and by evening they're too tight. I drink water, take fiber every morning and still have the problem. It's driving me crazy!

I just saw my doctor and was questioning her about why I was staying the same weight at 1200 calories and not losing. This is what she said: "You're petite. Petite people can't eat as many calories as larger people. She told me to go on an 800-1000 calorie a day diet for 12 weeks and 12 weeks only in order to take some…

I was due for one last month but time got away from me. Although I hate getting them, I know they can and probably have saved my life. I will tell you that I will contact my gastroenterolgist today schedule mine. Promise!

Yes, absolutely! I only have one and it's well hidden and tasteful. I got it for my 40th birthday and other than it being a little faded it doesn't look saggy, lumpy, old, wrinkled, etc. just because I am.

^^^ This. I wholeheartedly agree. I love being treated like the female that I am. I will never profess to be able to do the same things man can do. I also think chivalry shows respect and that's always a nice thing.

sauteed mushrooms - 60 calories, sauteed in 2 tbsp of butter - 100 calories, 3 slices of tomato, 15 calories. All total 175 calories and I'm stuffed.

Unfortunately, this is the exact reason I don't post on the forums anymore. I did in the beginning with honest to goodness questions. I got some rude comments. This is my first comment for a while and I'm sure someone will have something negative to say. Yes, I'm a sensitive person so the forums is no place for me. I…

I don't. I've mostly done cardio/walking at a fast pace. I do have 5 pound dumbells but I have no idea what I'm doing with them so I just stopped doing anything. I'm not sure how to lift weights really. I never had a weight issue before and never had to exercise so I'm pretty new at all of it!

Thank you all so much for your responses. I've been eating nothing but junk. Fast food, sugar. I crave sugar for some reason! I've upped my calories to a little over 1300. I'm really not sure how many calories I should be eating but I know I've been going over 1200 most days the last couple of weeks. I've pretty much given…

Grande skinny Caramel Macchiato. 140 calories. I'm addicted and this is one thing I cannot totally give up!

This is most likely my problem. I stay at or below my calorie goal (most of the time) and have not lost any weight. I've been horrible with what I've been putting in my mouth. While I haven't lost any for a good two weeks, I haven't gained any either. I'm staying the same. I guess it's time to start eating healthier again.…
