I'm losing weight to get pregnant too, add me!

Overall, it's a great tool except for stationary bikes. It does not track worth a damn.

drink water to feel satisfied or eat foods that satisfy your need for flavor, but that are healthier alternatives. Watch your portions.

Salty foods are not your friend right now. You can gain and lose 5 lbs from day to day due to water weight. Maybe check your nutrition when you log your foods, make sure you're being as accurate as possible and measure and weigh your foods.

That happened to me before. Try measuring your food. Also, maybe have your thyroid checked. Some women develop issues during and after pregnancy with their thyroid.

Well, aren't you special.

1330 is low for me and I'm still significantly overweight and tall. It's do-able, but you need to be smart about how much nutrition you're getting. I was really under-eating at one point and nearly fainted at work.

what are you, the thread police?

Then you better stop taking cough medicine.

I think the distinction that people who have little knowledge of this pill is that it is NOT Fen Phen. Phentermine is the safer component of that Fen Phen combination that has been illegal for nearly 20 years. It is given by prescription. It is not for everyone. Some have several side effects while others do not. Some…

I'm no stranger to exercise and when I was bigger, I actually had a good body going- now, I just have this wobbly skin to that I'd like to tighten. I guess what I should be asking is: After I have excess skin, what can I do to tighten it up the best I can in 8 weeks. Again, I'm not looking to weigh less, so if I need to do…

I didn't intend that as a shaming- but I'd like to just tighten up everywhere and build glutes (my butt disappeared 30lbs ago). I'm not sure if having large muscles is what I'm looking for.

Do you recommend that I focus more on burning extra calories than cutting them out of my diet? Like, for example- instead of eating 300 calories less, burn 300 calories more?

I'm going to Hawaii in 8 weeks, so I need something to do to have the best body I can have by then. Of course, I'd like to fine tune it even after my trip, but I just need to advice on what will give me the best results by the time I'm in Hawaii. If I work out, I see results pretty quick, actually. I just haven't stuck to…

I have 8 weeks to do this!

It's the water- keep at it for a while and you will see a difference. I always weigh more the morning after an intense workout.

Pick whatever time is best for you. Some people prefer in the mornings while others prefer the evenings. You don't want to be full, but you don't want to work out while fasting neither. Make sure to have a lean protein after your work out to help build muscle.

Eat more whole grains (quinoa, brown rice, multigrain bread instead of plain white), lean proteins (chicken, fish, tofu), the good kind of fats (avocado, nuts- just don't go overboard!), more vegetables (the more color in it, the better!), more water. These foods are more filling and give you better nutrition. Cut out or…

I can tell you first hand that too much sugar does affect you. At least on me. I've been eating at a calorie deficit ever since Christmas, non-stop. However, I haven't cut sugars and I eat 25-100% more than I am allowed most days. I have not had a day where I don't count my calories, so you would think I would have lost 10…

They don't shrink your stomach, but I think this person meant to say that it makes you get full with less food volume. That, I agree with. When I don't watch what I eat, I can put away an entire banquet. When I eat less for a long time, I get satisfied quicker with less food.

The risks aren't as high as they once were. Phenfen have been gone from the market. Those are the ones that cause serious complications. Phentermine, has it's side effects. It affects some people more than others. It's only meant to be taken for a short period to help you change your habits. If you rely on the pill alone,…

My chiropractor is the same, he gives me lots of good advice and doesn't crack me like a rag doll.

I was being sarcastic. My chiropractor is really good and has helped me a lot. He hasn't cured me, but he does make the pain go away.

Thanks for all your other answers guys! It will look into physical therapy. I definitely will look into physical therapy. I would love to get rid of this pain instead of just easing the pain temporarily with my chiropractor.

I didn't know electrodes and heat packs could do that. Thank you for saving my life.... It's a hip issue, not a spine issue. I don't go there to get my back cracked.

Does that get covered by insurance?

I rarely drink alcohol now and I'm still having a hard time losing weight... I need a month free of sweets and bread more like it.

I still go to the plus size section and grab the same old size before realizing that that a 1x doesn't fit anymore.

5 lbs? Sounds like a plan:)

Count me in. After this weekend, I need a break. Hangovers suck as you age.
