My doctor prescribed me Contrave and I've been taking it for a little over two weeks now. I have noticed that it does help with making better decisions and makes me feel "normal". By that I mean that I don't think about food 24/7. I'm not sure if the pill helps me with overeating though. It just helps with cravings and…

I think you looks great! Sometimes family is just that...family. They do not want to help build you up but rather seen you down to make them feel better. My mom and my sister are the same way and I have let it get the better of me for wayyyy too long... Example.. When I lost 100+lbs my Mom said "losing weight is the easy…

Enjoy your pregnancy! Stop worrying about what to eat and what not to eat. Unless the doctor is telling you that you need to slow down then I say go for it. I gained 60lbs with my baby girl and was down 45lbs when she was 5mths. Have fun!

About a year ago, when I was losing a crazy amount of weight, I used to take a "lemon shot" in the morning. Basically I would squeeze the juice of one lemon into a cup and take it like a shot before my breakfast. The benefits that I heard was that it helps detox your liver so that's why I started taking it. I did get a…

I'm close to your weight and I'm eating 1,800/day.

Well a year ago I got down to the smallest I have ever been in my adult life and I still thought I looked like I was 300+lbs. Then I gained most of the weight back. Now I look at pictures when I was the smallest and think damn I looked good. It is sad to see pants hanging in my closet that are a size 18 and think "those…

You're looking great girl! Keep up the good work. :smile:

UGH!! I have a friend like that. We would go walking and she would always want to take the shortest route or she would always flake out on me and "over sleep". Needless to say - I stopped working out with her. Actually I've found out that working out by myself is the best thing for me.

I agree - make something that everyone likes and then modify your plate. For example: When I make spaghetti, I keep the noodles and sauce separate. Then I pour the sauce over steamed veggies for me and over noodles for them. And let the kids eat! lol What kind of childhood would you have without poptarts?!?!? BORING!!…

My reply - "are you trying to get punched in the throat?" lol

You may be retaining water due to the sodium. Drink tons of water... BTW, it's none of my business but..... I would never suggest treating yourself to a cheat meal if you're trying to lose weight. Get new workout clothes or something but never food. And why weigh yourself "after" a cheat meal? Doesn't it discourage you? I…

Sorry - I've sworn off most desserts (not hard since I am only a dessert person 1x per month - lol) but I use the two websites below frequently for recipes... http://peaceloveandlowcarb.com/ http://holisticallyengineered.com/

I don't know crap about strength training but I live in Olathe and I'm at the gym almost every night. I'm seriously considering on going to a Zumba class. Has anyone tried any?

I LOVE pork rinds! I use it as a bread crumb substitute in my meatloaf, oven fried chicken, chicken fingers, fried pork chops and chicken parmesan. I also love cauliflower mash but I'm going to have to try that pizza.

I would have him take care of the kids in the morning or in the afternoon (he can choose). You have to take care of yourself before you can take care of anyone else. And if you are happy then you can make everyone else around you happy. If you are happy then you'll be motivated to keep the house clean If you are happy then…

Drink half your weight in oz of water. Drink green tea instead of soda. Cut out processed carbs (bread, pasta, etc.) and limit starchy veggies (potatoes, corn, etc.). Bump up your veggie intake and limit fruit to two pieces per day. Bump up your cardio and lift some weights. Try Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred.

I have four tattoos... "Carpe Diem" on the back on my neck. It reminds me to live in the now. My left shoulder blade has hibiscus flowers with stars and my daughter's name (Amelia Marie). My right shoulder blade has a pitbull which is my favorite breed of dog. And last tattoo which is my worst is on my right arm and it is…

I had a maple bacon wrapped all beef hot dog this weekend and it was awesome!!

I have been overweight since I was 10yrs old and basically grew tall and wide from then on. It is difficult to lose weight and think of what the outcome may be because I have never been truly happy with myself since the day I started really caring. The last time I was a size 8 was when I was 8. lol. Also it doesn't help…

I know when I hit my all time low it was difficult going out with my friends because of the attention. I think that is mainly the reason for me packing on the lbs. I definitely know that sex was better and my DH can 2nd that.

Well I think the real question is........are you Alexandra? lol j/k Tell him next time to post an ad on Craigslist under "Missed Connections". lol. DISCLAIMER - If you ever want a good laugh check it out yourself.

I second this....

Happy

Umm...how do I put this. You're a booty call. Sorry.

Try to fit in a shot of lemon juice in the morning. Basically extract juice from one lemon and drink it first thing in the morning (after workout of course). Make sure that your lemon is room temp, roll the lemon before extracting the juice to make the extraction process easier, chase it with cold water and be sure to…

At least weekly but mostly on the weekends.
