Awesome! Keep up the great work!

I found that if I just kept on walking, they went away the further I walked. It took a month or so before they were completely gone. If I stop walking for any length of time, I get them again when I start up but they do go away after a couple of weeks. Best thing for me is to never stop walking.

^What she said!!! ^ I thought I was a 38DD but actually I am a 32G or 34FF depending on the brand. I was buying huge bands to try to fit in the cups and I look so much slimmer and better now that I have the right size. I have to go to specialty shops but it is worth it. To the ladies who wear their phone in their bras, I…

How much water are you drinking? I have a friend that found that the more water she drank, the more weight she lost so she went overboard on the water. Needless to say, she lost most of her hair and it hasn't come back. Her doctor told her that she was flushing the vitamins right out of her body. Stick to the recommended 8…

Wow, what a difference!

I found photos! I put them in my profile. The first is me at 190 lbs and the second one is at 155 lbs. I am 147 right now so just a few more to go!

As I am reading your post, the above is exactly what I was thinking of. See your gyno and have a pelvic exam. You might have fibroids which are extremely common in women. I ran into the very same issue. I had lost about 30 lbs and my stomach was not going down. One day, while lying down, I was looking at my stomach…

This above is a wonderful idea. Start cooking super healthily and invite her for walks or other activities that are low impact to start with. If you take over the cooking, shopping, and keep the junk food out of the house, the temptation won't be there. Good luck!

Great observations! I find that some people don't like change so you will get underhanded comments like "Are you sick? You have lost weight!" Or "You look good now, you don't need to lose anymore." My mother is an expert at those comments. When I had lost about 20 lbs and she hadn't seen me in a while, she patted my…

I used to gain 5 lbs each and every time. Very frustrating when you are trying so hard to lose.

Exercise will raise it and that is probably why mine is so good. I walk over 9 km a day and over 12 km on the weekend. A friend and I walk each day without fail.

I definitely would do another. I was quite surprised to find out that we could have gone further. We didn't want to but we could have. I expected to be exhausted at the end of that and we weren't. And this morning, I am not sore. Another surprise although I was pretty stiff for the rest of the day yesterday.

In Canada, I love the Oikos, even the fat free kind. However, I made the mistake of buying Oikos in the US instead of the Chobani that I usually get at Sam's Club and it was inedible. It had a horrible after taste. I have no idea why the same company would made great greek yogurt in Canada but disgusting stuff in the US.

I was told to take 1000mg of EPA so you will have to read the bottles and figure it out. I have a fish oil right now that provides 500mg per capsule so I take two. High EPA oils can be a bit tricky to find. By the way, my naturopath told me to increase my vitamin C to stop the bruising that I was getting from taking high…

Personally, I am okay with my numbers but the doctor I saw a few days ago freaked me out with saying that if I didn't get my LDL down, I was going to get a serious talk from my regular doctor (who is on maternity leave) about having to go on statins. So I thought I would try to go the natural route rather than go on…

This particular niacin is flush free niacin because it has the inusital molecule attached and it non-harmful to the liver according to my naturopath. I hope it works because the internet isn't too optimistic about Inosital Hexaniacianate being effective in lowering LDL cholesterol. I went to her because the research I did…

The above looks like a good regiment. This is what my Naturopath recommended for me today. Diet - Go back to my high fiber fruit smoothies (21 g of fiber in one) -Increase my intake of vegetables by having soup or steamed veggies at lunch -Drink 2 to 3 cups of green tea -Eat 2 fruits per day Supplements -2000 iu of Vitamin…
