Great Thread! I was the person who kept a full candy bowl on my desk every Halloween. I would eat at least half, over the week. This year is the first time in nearly 12 years, I didn't have a candy bowl. Funny thing is they all know I'v changed my eating habits, but they keep coming into my office. I see them hoping I have…

I think you should check your blood pressure at Wal-Mart or your local grocery chain. I have had nausea when my blood pressure was too low and too high. Another culprit could be blood sugar. Your blood sugar could be off causing Diabeties or Hypoglycimia.. Are you dizzy too! Inner ear issues can cause dizziness and nausea.…

We have recently decided to eat Vegetarian with a nod to Vegan. We find Cheese is our biggest stumbling block to Vegan. I have tried a few substitute cheese products but don't like them. My family loves Cheese. We don't eat eggs on weekends anymore, but I haven't tried to take eggs out of bread products. Almond Milk is…

Hi, I love your story, because my starting weight was 206 as well and I'm currently 160 too! I started in May and the weight dropped pretty fast at first. I'm really struggling now. I loose one or two on Monday. Then gain it back by Tuesday or Wednesday, then it takes all week just to return to zero and loose one or two…

The first clue was when I was doing a very intense workout I got incredibly dizzy. Then I noticed all week occasional dizzy spells almost wanting to faint, after working out. Sometimes even when getting up to move into another room. I was curious if this had to do with my blood presure. Was it too high and the meds wern't…

I'm 49 years old and have lost the weight at least 3 times and now working on the 4th with 15 lbs to go. I even had a Gastric Bypass in 2001. Therfore I think I know from where I speak. It's a choice and about lifestyle. It was important for me to stop letting everything and everyone get in the way of my health. For me…

Love it! Not heairng my thighs rub together when I walk. S-- drive is back with gusto, I'm not annoyed anymore when my guy wan't me to wear sexy lingere. :blushing: I'm able to run a mile without stopping for the first time ever. Using the bathroom and excuse me , but cleaning myself is much is easier and more…

I must chime in. I was a life long Diet Pepsi addict. Some people wake up in the morning and drink coffee, I would drink diet soda almost exclusively. Usually 3 to 4 liters a day.Very little water if any daily. In 2001, I had a Gastric Bypass, they advised me stop drinking diet soda, because the cabonation streches your…

Not only do you look amazing and much thinner and healthy. You also look younger the first picture looks like your Mom or older sister. You rock!

I live in Colorado as well and I can confirm we need to drink more water than most, becuase of the dry climate. Be sure your drinking at least 64 to 72 oz of water. Next eat lots of vegetables and cut back on meat & Dairy. Finally if your not eating enough it can slow down the process. Sometimes just making sure we eat…

I love your story, scares me a bit but it's real and raw. Please save your life! Watch, Forkes over Knives and The Beuatiful Truth, both are avaialbale on Netflix's documentary. I'm 49 in September! My Fiancee is 50 Next March. I believe these movies may have saved our lives. God Bless!

Taco Bell # 1 Up until 4 months ago I used to go to the Bell 3 to 4 time a week. I was on a first name basis with the staff at the one by my office. Diet Pepsi #2 It was a 6 Litters plus a week habit. Salty fat ladden snacks # 3 I could graze on chips, salted nuts, pretzles, popcorn all day. Red Vines #4 I would by a large…

You look fabulous and happy and healthy! Love the hair too! You look fun and ready to go an an adventure! Congrats on all you sucess!

Great Question! Several things. 1) I was lucky enough to find the man of my dreams who proposed last Thanksgiviing. I didn't want to hate myself in my Wedding Dress. He loves me any size, but I love him too much to stay heavy. 2) Watched Fat Sick & Nearly Dead! Eye opening Documentry! 3) We were working on our yard last…

I'm quite a bit older than you are 49. However due to blood pressure issues I'm looking for a new Birth Control method. I haven't had a hysterectomy, but I did just look into the cost. It's over 2K after insurance, my funds are allocated elsewhere so I can't afford it. I'm not sure I would qualify for medical issues either…

This made my cry! I'm very happy for you. I wish you blessed with an easy, sweet, healthy, hilarious baby! My daughter makes me laugh almost everyday for 13 years. God Speed!

Scott! I bet you gained muscle. I assume your working out. I started new blood pressure medicine a month ago and it's has my body reeling. I lose three pounds Monday Gain 2 lbs Tuesday Lose .6 lbs on Wednesday Stable on Thursday Lose 1 lb on Friday Saturday I kick up the exercise and gain a 1 lb Sunday Stable Monday lose…

Please don't give up! I know how important it is to see the result on the scale, but it's not the only measure of sucess. I'm 48 will be 49 next month. I also have a desk job. You can do it. Watch "Fat Sick and nearly dead". It's a documentry on Netflix very inspiring. I watched this and fasted for one weekend. Drank…

Hi You really need to see that specialist. I would stop all weight bearing exercise. Wear the boot when weight bearing, ice it (Freeze a water bottle) it will help with inflamation as well as advil. Buy good quality walking shoes like Asics gels there are website for shoes for people with heel spurs. Always have good shoes…
