I tried that and Effexor (ended up sticking with Effexor for about a year) and didn't gain any weight nor lost any. I was however way higher functioning. And it's true that food never really crosses the mind at all. My suggestion is to do it but don't start with a high dose of 150mg all at once. See if they will gradually…

LW 272.8 CW 272 Yay. Lost those 8 oz.

Goodness! Blood sugar of 150 is REALLY high. I believe fasting blood sugar is supposed to be between 80 - 100. I'm hypoglecemic (opposite of diabetic) and my reading this morning was 63 and I felt like crap with it that low. I can only imagine what you felt like with 150. I would be buzzing! Take care of yourself!:smile:

LW 272.8 CW 272.8 No change. Might be because of all the splugging I did this weekend. Bad Linne! :cry:

I wasn't until you just mentioned it! GRRR :laugh: Problem is I need chicken with it. Not JUST the BBQ sauce.

Yay! I remembered this time. SW - 300lbs LW - 275.2 CW - 272.8 Not too bad. Happy with that. :smooched:

It probably would if I didn't eat off the dollar menu. It is actually cheaper for me to eat fast food (or out) than to go shopping at the grocery store. I've done the math and it's just frustrating.:laugh:

Man I've been so bad at this! SW - 300 GW - 150 LW - 279.5 Current weight (10/18/09) - 275.2

Yeah I think it was the scale. I had been using my boyfriends scale at his house on Sunday's and this past weekend I went out and purchased my own. I weighed myself three times (within a 30 minute window) and it was the lower number I go the first time at my boyfriends house (minus a lb.). So from now on I'm using my own…

i have noticed a change actually but for the better. I always had a fairly large range (1st soprano to 1st tenor) but I had noticed over the last couple of years I was having a hard time reaching those 1st soprano notes. I was getting really frustrated and then just was like "whatever" - i guess it's true that age makes…

What do you do if you are allergic to squash? Seems like a great recipe besides that and I really miss mac-n-cheese. I have a box left over in my cabinet for my son and I have been putting off making it because I know I'll dive into it as well. It's just so hard! Cheese and pasta are my friends! *laughs*

I don't normally count it for my regular water intake but that's just me. Not sure if you can count it as water. It is liquid.... I'm stumped lol

Helpful advice from: http://www.mamashealth.com/pregnancy/pregcalories.asp Eating the right number of calories lets you and your baby gain the proper amount of weight. During the first 3 months of your pregnancy, you do not need to change the number of calories you are eating. Normal-weight women need an extra 300 calories…

Mine is chocolate and beef during that time. I usually get the cravings so bad that I drive everyone around me crazy. To fix it I usually get a serving of the dove dark chocolate and I'm in heaven for the rest of the day. For the beef I generally eat a lean steak and do a little happy dance.:flowerforyou:

I was on my way to the airport for a return flight from Arizona to DC. Of course it was cancelled and the airport was a mad house. My husband and I just stood there and stared at the screens while at the airport for a good 20 minutes after the first plane hit and then without saying a word we both turned and left the…

Nope not been sick. That's been one of the major pluses about the new eating. I am not getting as many colds as I used to (and I used to get A LOT - like once a month I'd have a really bad cold). Now I've just gotta figure out what probiotics are. lol

Hmmm I do eat A LOT of fruit. That might be it. Fruit is my friend though :sad:. I have to keep up the sugar due to my hypoglycemia so need to figure out an alternative I guess.

I usually do but I also then decrease how much I stop (estimation) to pick something up. Especially if you're going to be out there for an hour or two.

Alright. That's what I thought. I've lost 25lbs. so far and only been doing this since the end of June so maybe I'm jump starting my metabolism. I'll just make sure to pay attention to what my weight is doing and if it slows down I'll cut down the cheat meal to once every two weeks. Right now it's my sanity break. The one…

Depends on what kind of snacks you're eating and how much time you are waiting in between. I generally eat breakfast at 8:30. Snack at 10:30. Lunch at 12:30. Snack at 3 and then dinner when I get around to it. Sometimes if I have dinner earlier than I'll have a small snack around 6 or 7pm. Also, if you are hungry in…

Breakfast I had cereal and a cup of milk. Mid morning snack I had grapes and string cheese. Lunch I just ate a lean gourmet meal and a plum. Later this afternoon I plan to have some granola and for dinner I am thinking a turkey burger and a salad or chicken breast with a salad and lite french dressing. I usually total…

Granola is king! That's what i tend to snack on a lot. Either the Quaker bars or something like that. I'll also eat some low fat graham crackers and grapes for snack. Tops out at about 150 calories (just in case you wanted to know)

Well I COMPLETELY forgot to weigh in last week so it's only a guess how much I lost. Either way: SW 280 2 weeks ago weight 263 CW 258 WOOT! :happy:

Going to be weighing in later today (yes I know you should do it in the morning but I don't own a scale so can only do it when I visit my parent's house) but I'm nervous because i feel like I've gained. Feeling a bit bloated today for some reason... we shall soon see.

i'd like to give it a shot.

i've noticed my skin feels smoother and it's way clearer and has a little more of a healthy look to it. I've also been told that i look younger now (which i never knew weight made you look heavier *shrugs*). The cloths i used to wear all the time have gotten baggy and I tried on a pair of jeans I hadn't been able to wear…

So happy! SW 280 Last Week 265 This Week 263 GW 150 WEEEEEEEEEEE!:happy: My friends and family have started to remark that I look like I'm loosing weight. I hadn't told anyone I was going to try. All my cloths are getting too big *laughs* I had on a skirt yesterday and I was pulling it up all day. Nice problem to have…

Well my SW was 280 so that's 28lbs. 15lbs down and 8 more to go. Not bad.

hiya joining in the June starters group. I didn't weigh in last week but the week before that I had lost 5lbs. SW (6/23) - 280 CW (7/17) - 265 So that's 15lbs down so far. Quite excited *grins*

Well it looks like I was completely wrong. I've actually lost 15lbs. I don't know what was wrong with the scale I was using but I'm straight now. YAY!
