Try Eboost it is the bomb, I drink a glass every morning it really helps with my daily vitamins and energy. Make sure you are sipping on water all day.

Snack on pumpkin seeds. They carve your appetite and take a while to eat, before you know it you have snacked until your next meal without adding many calories.

You are da BOMB!!!!!!!!!!! I am so motivated now.

coolbeans I will try it now.

before I started losing weight Before I started losing weight As I started losing weight down my first 100 lbs Getting closer to my goal Right after the birth of 1st son 9 months preg. with last son Current weight after birth of last son and pretty deep depression. I am down 52 lbs from this pic but I have a ways to go.…

Wow. Thank you soooo much.

Ok, call me a hater if you want. I was well over size 30-32 and just left of 400 lbs. I am now in a size 16-18 up from a size 14 after childbirth. I was perfectly comfortable getting down to a size 12 and living there, but now that I have seen what you have accomplished I gotta get to where you are. I hope you are happy…

I am going to try this one today. I dont know about the pitted dates though. I will let you know how it comes out.

This is do-able. Thank you for the suggestion:drinker:

I had 150 lb weight loss after my bypass. I am surprised to see that not one person mentioned water consumption. A good balanced cardio + strength training workout combined with drinking a ton of ice water will help your skin rebound. People do not know I have had gastric bypass unless I tell them. It is soooo important to…

I have been wanting to wear them to the gym but I am a little unsteady on my feet just walking to my boys school. I don't expect them to help me lose weight just maybe assist in strengthening a muscle or two. I guess I will wear them for a while before I take them for a test drive at the gym. Thank you for your input.

Wow, now this is good to know. I bought them brand new at a yard sale for $3. Good thing I didn't fork out more than that.

Oh, good point. They are the tone ups. Shoot I can't run barefoot let alone a shoe with a thick sole. :laugh:

I don't care much for jelly but I love simply fruit by Smuckers. I really have to limit my bread intake so I will have a teaspoon of peanut-butter and my simply fruit.

My surgeon has me at 1200 calories a day and he is pretty famous out here in AZ. MFP's calculations are exactly right. I try not to eat back the calories I gain from working out but well truth be told that can be hard to avoid.

Oh my gosh!!! You guys are hilarious. Does this work if you have a cold? Can I just eat a can of Crisco?:drinker:

I try to prepare most of our meals but, you are soooo right. Thank you. I will certainly do this.

Oh how I miss the days when I could plan my day in the morning. LOL now that I have a 4 and 7 year old the only thing that goes according to plan is waking up in the morning and going to sleep at night.

I am new to the whole calorie counting thing. I usually have to stumble across the things that end up working for me. This process was no different. Some times my train is the last one to pull into the station. :tongue:

Glad to hear it. I tried it with, I can't believe its not butter and some salt & pepper. It is the bomb!! Now if I can find a replacement for rice :sad:

Oh, okay. Thank you.

I don't know about other folks on here but I have a lap band. It is an aid but trust I have to do the work. My surgeon has me concentrate on a loss of 2 lbs. a week. Trust that is healthy you do not want to lose any faster than that remember you need to balance fat loss with muscle gain. When I first started losing weight…

Thank you. Take a new pic of your new you and your guy to use as your profile pic. You look entirely different!!

Dang gurl!!!! You look so gud!!! We have the same body type. I am struggling a bit right now but I am making smarter decisions.

Wow, You are da BOMB!!! I have the lap-band and so far I am down 50lbs. I really suffer from PTSD (well earned). I used to be a brick house but the last few years have taken their toll on me. I am going to the gym tomorrow come Heck or high water and get back to where I used to be. Luv your story.
