I have the non hormonal IUD and I used to be okay on the nuvaring but I got blood clots from it so I can't be on anything hormonal anymore. I now have the worst cramps ever and I'm in tears for a good 3-4 days and I usually have really bad back pains and nausea from the cramps :( My dr gave me a prescription for a…

Have you ever tried iron supplements during that time? I used to get really exhausted because I feel like I've donated tons of blood as well and the iron pills help me to have some energy then. I only take then during that time for the week then I'm good afterwards. I get anemic during it because of the blood loss but…

I love mashed potatoes too and I could devour them in they are in close sight. I have made them before with half mashed cauliflower and half mashed potatoes and only make a small amount so that there is enough for whoever is eating that night. Then I don't get tempted with leftovers and I can still enjoy them. I did this…

I always stick to malibu and I usually mix it with diet. It tastes really good and kinda makes you feel a little tropical. I also like effen black cherry and diet. Malibu is 51 calories per oz. It's not too bad :)

I have actually saved money by eating whole fruits and veggies, whole grain rice, chicken, ground turkey, etc. I also don't eat out as often as I did before and when I do eat out, I eat a lot less because I'm eating things that keep me fuller longer throughout the day, not the crap I was used to eating.

I know all about the yo yo dieting and being up and down and trying every possible diet plan on the planet. I've done it all and nothing has stuck for me either. Something always came in my way and helped to distract me from my ultimate goal. You can definitely friend me if you want and we can help support each other. I…

Awesome job :) I'm starting a program on Saturday. I'm so excited to see how it works out. Mine is a competition type of setting so we'll see how it goes. Keep us updated with your amazing progress! Kick that fat's butt!

Can you make both stuff that you can have and stuff you can't have? I'm a picky eater so it makes it easy for me to make things that I can't have that I also don't like. Maybe by adding something you don't like into something you shouldn't have it should make it easier to avoid that. I try to do that when I bring treats to…

I have a lab/shar-pei mix who is just the sweetest little thing ever. Her name is Maggie and she is such a lover... loves people and dogs. She loves to cuddle and just be loved. She's 2 years old now and I can't imagine life without her :) She definitely helps me with working out since she loves walks! My main picture is…

I was 16 when I started driving and I'm 27 now.

I grew up with a lab and I have a lab now. She's the sweetest most loving dog ever! She is great with kids and she is the least tempermental dog I know. Our lab growing up was amazing as well. They are very laid back and great with people, kids, and dogs.

I added you :) I would aim for your net calories to be what they are giving you since that is assuming you are doing no exercise. I don't usually eat all of my exercise calories back but I do eat most of them back and lost 5 lbs the first week. Good luck :)

Hey! I'm Allie. I'm in Palatine and I'm always welcoming support and friends :) feel free to send me an add if you would like.

Hey everyone, my name is Allie! I'm in the northwest suburbs. I'm currently at 314lbs and this is the highest I've ever been. I finally decided to do something about my weight. I want to be be able to do things that thinner people get to do more easily. My first goal is to be under 300lbs and then after that my goal will…

I'm trying to do small weight goals along the way. I picked a goal weight based on what I think I would feel good at. I will probably adjust it when I get closer and realize what that weight looks like on me. Especially for those of us that have a long way to go, no reason that you have to stick to your goal weight that…

moist

agreed ;)

HAHAHAHAHA love his grill!!! Too funny. I'd take Lochte anyways. Phelps is not hot!

I am @amonroe1343. Come follow me and I'll do the same :)

Don't let her get to you, she's crazy! Everyone has different preferences and that's what makes this world great. Keep your head up and don't let her negativity affect you. She's just jealous for some reason, ignore it and move on. Be proud of who you are :)

I love their spicy chicken sandwich. So hard not to want one :)

I was on a gluten free lactose free diet for a while... It was not much fun since most gluten free items contain lactose items. Good luck with that if you are not able to have gluten.

There definitely is a difference. I'm about the same height as you so I hope I can pull off 150 lbs. My goal right now is 160 but I'm also starting a lot higher since I'm over 300 right now. I hope that I can see myself as being a thinner person when I start losing weight but I haven't really lost more than 50 lbs before…

Thanks :) I love your hair. I wish I could rock a short hair style and you have a pretty smile too!

Thanks much :)

You must be a fast driver ;) I'll be waiting!

Malibu :) oh wait I have that all the time

Did someone say swallow?!? You know what they say about bigger girls ;)

I got 2nd haha then I know he'll be done after that! ;)

I think we need some more guys into the mix of this party ;) It seems like one guy with all the ladies and I don't think he can handle all of us! HAHAHAHAHA
