I took adipex my senior year of high school- lost about 50 pounds kept it off till I got prego about 2 years later. It works for some but I have known people (like my mother) who lose while on it then shortly after go back to there old habits and gain even more back and its like a yo-yo take a pill lose weight then stop…

why dont you move closer to the job you like? If the commute is one of the main factors that you dont like. Is it 3hrs one way or up to work and back home - that makes a difference I currenlty drive alittle over an hour one way to work but its worth it cause if I moved closer my cost of rent would triple-so there are also…

There are some good bras by Moving Comfort that I have been told are really good for us busty women - though I am cheap so I wear a champion sports bra and then a workout tank with a built in bra and it helps alot but I dont wear it outside the house :) just cause the tank is really tight

I do agree that book three had alot better plot - lot less sexual stuff so i like that it has a plot but really they are sex books in reality- It seems that she got better at writing as she went through each book

I am in the same boat work and school full time with family etc and I drive an hour one way to work/school. I found that I do better If I pack a lunch/dinner -lots of ICE packs to keep it cool then I eat in my car or at a table on campus (depending on the weather) somtimes in the classroom before class etc. You can do it…

Hit up your local farmers markets and see what they are charging- I also tend to go to the store more times a week when buying healthy since fresh stuff goes quicker (eaten and spoiling) Are you able to grow any in a garden or know someone with a garden I have pp all the time at work that are offereing things out of their…

Be patient it took X number of years to put on the weight it will take some times to work it off

My husband does all the cleaning (i occasioinally do laundry and dishes but not often) he has also taught the kids to clean. We ahd the opposite problem when we moved in most men will say the women complains about how they clean well he was going behind me recleaning so I just let him do it all. I do all the cooking though…

I would say yes to this - though I somtimes blame how I grew up -we moved alot I went to 13 schools (if I counted correctly) btwn K-12 grade and even though I seemed to make friends its like we never would keep in touch when I moved. Even now I have pp I talk with at work but no one that I hang out with- If I want to go…

I put some scrolls in the bank if anyone needs them I am doing herbs and inscription

Ya it is - I have a toon on another one with that name too -Im not very creative with names lol

Thanks for the replies- I do like fruits esp juicy ones like watermelon, oranges etc..

Reading them after some of my co-workers were talking about them :) I dont really see a resemblance to twilght but they are ok - the writing is horrible at least the 2nd and 3rd books have more of a plot then the first one

Hi and welcome to MFP I am a mom to three great kids (well one pre-teen 12 with attitude and a 9 and 5 year old) You can add me if you like. I am working on loseing weight that I gained after haveing my kids :embarassed: - I weigh more then I ever did pregnant

I am game for joining - I started playing WOW when some moms in my moms group were complaining about there husbands playing lol - I am the gamer my husband not so much............ My toons name is Fels - Death Knight

I resisted Ghiradelli chocolate at Kroger - I really wanted to buy some but walked on by - I knew if I bought the bag I would eat it all.....................

Cheesecake chocolate fondue I really miss cheesecake..............but I cant eat just a few bites

I log everything = I feel like its easier to not log something unhealthy if I start a habit of selecting what I do and dont log

I dont like my food to touch ever - wont eat what has touched - I know weird I seperate out colors of items like skittles, M&M, etc.... and eat each color by itself before starting a new color - never thought about it till someone pointed it out at work :) I only eat my hot foods hot I dont like lukewarm food either :) I…

personally I stay away from most items that I know have aspartame in them - not always possible but I try - though my problem is if I have it say in diet soda (which is what I typically see it in) then I usually end up with a major Migrane - so for me I stay away other people I know use it and do ok (for now)

went hiking with my dh even though I didnt want to - felt alot better after though :)

I would agree with the others find a new doctor - your doctor should be supportive esp if you are showing that you are working hard to lose weight.

Do you have a snack between lunch and dinner- doesnt have to be much but somthing to help in between. I also find that eating somthing crunchy in the evening if I feel hungry works such as carrot sticks, cucumbers, pretzals etc. I work 12hr shifts so I have found if I go from lunch to dinner without a snack in between I am…

I had mine for the full five years (had it removed in Feb) and gained alot of weight in those years - and even when working out hard and watching what I eat had a hard time losing.

we do chicken turtles when camping - a peice of tin foil with a chicken breast and whatever veggies you want fold up and stick on the edge of the fire or on the grill rack - also granola bars a handy and like others said if you are hiking alot while camping you'll be burning calories so enjoy some food :) Most straight…

I would ask your ob - I know when I was preg with #2 mine said I could cont what I was doing with some modifications esp with ab only workouts and some weights machines like the leg press were off limits. I would definitally take it up with your doc and if needed take a list of the workouts that you do and routines and see…

This has been posed many times and different people have different opinions - the main one being to up your activity level which will adjust your caliories to make up for the added activity you do during the day.

Welcome - coming here is the first step. You will find alot of helpful advice and people that know what you are going through becasue we too are going through the process of losing weight. I find that I hold myself more accountable when I log my food and activity every day. Good Luck on your journey Lauren you can add me…

we try to keep plenty of fresh fruit and veggies (baby carrot, cut up cucumber, celery etc) in the house for them to snack on easliy along with pretzals, fruit snacks, granola bars, yogurt etc. We do not keep chips, cookies (very often there a rare treat), snack cakes etc in the house - we will occasionally buy chips or…

We bought one of the cheap ones and it was ok lasted only a year - Check the weight limits on them some of the cheap ones have low weight limits and will break if you are heavier then what is stated - I would go midrange if you are going to purchase one or try to find a really good used one on craigslist or in your area.…
