I've lost 95lbs and I STILL don't see it. Even in pictures I sometimes think I look the same. Everyone keeps telling me it'll catch up though.

I guess you can't read either, then? I said I gave up 99% of my stuff. The only thing I can't find an alternative to is Motrin. And I only take one prescription pill on the daily. If it's a life or death and I need to be pumped full of drugs, or I get sick and can't handle it at home, then yes, I'll take it. But almost…

Completely agree. About 10 months ago I decided to go 'cruelty free' with all of my makeup, hair stuff, cleaning supplies, etc.. It was hard, I gave up 99% of my stuff, but I did it. And I live on GUAM. Tiny little island and I make due. There's no excuse for people stateside to not be able to do it. It costs a little…

It's weird, because I loooove warm ketchup from the little packets, but I prefer my at home ketchup cold. My husband prefers the ketchup to be left out, so some days it's cold, some days it's warm. Whatever, lol. Also, there's so much vinegar, sugar and acidity from the tomatoes that it won't go bad if it sits out, so…

Honestly, the only thing that has helped me is therapy. There's usually a reasoning behind it, whether you realize it or not if you even remember it. It took 6 months of intense therapy to uncover my issue. I wish I could say I stopped the moment I found out, but I didn't. It took a few more months before I was able to…

Well it should have been when I saw 372lbs on the scale and knowing I was getting closer to 400lbs (I did actually start losing after this and got down to 320 but then went back to 352lbs). It should have been the day I realized I had a binge eating disorder (linked to my childhood) and I could easily consume 10,000…

Some days my calories are pretty low, either from the meals I made being a ton of vegetables or because I accidentally skipped a meal, but even on those days I try not to let it dip below 1200. If it's after dinner and I see that I need 200-300 calories JUST to hit that, i'll sit down with an avocado, or cheese with…

Honestly? When I first started, I thought a cheat meal once a week would be okay. Then it was a cheat day. Then it was a cheat weekend. I no longer reward myself wit food, because I'm not a dog. I reward myself with other things that I really like and make me feel equally good about myself. Like getting my hair done, new…

How many carbs you eat a day is really determined by you and your body. I know most people start out Atkins style and try to keep it under 20g/day. I, personally, try to keep my net carbs around 30-40g and I lose pretty well (84lbs total, 65 of which have been since mid January this year). My husband on the other hand…

Definitely find a new doctor! I have PCOS and have lost 84lbs, 65 of which have been since January 15th of this year! It is definitely doable once you start eating right, find the right combinations of medications (maybe metformin?) and vitamins (have your vit D checked!) and include some exercise. Don't let anyone push…

My husband and I do. We strict low carb for about 2 weeks then we take like a Friday or Saturday night and go out to dinner (usually sushi) and have a couple of drinks. I do diet coke and jack or something but my husband does beer. We might gain a pound or two of water, but by the time Monday rolls around we're back losing…

Unfortunately, one of the things with low carbs is that it's full of fatty/high cholesterol foods. Obviously, a diet full of bacon, cheese and eggs isn't ideal, but if you balance it with vegetable and lower fat meats (chicken, turkey, etc) every now and then it'll work out. I will say though, when I went from a low…
