  • I've been on it since October 2013. The first month was rough because I hadn't been on birth control for years, but after that first month, my body settled out. Between May and October I was able to lose thirty pounds and keep it off through diet, although admittedly I've indulged during the holiday and gained five or so…
  • So what you are saying is that you eat your own food in your car and bathroom, and you enjoy the sounds of upset, hungry infants crying? What an annoying, unsanitary hassle laced with female body loathing. "lol"
  • I am quite shocked by this bride's behavior, and I could never imagine asking my friends to do such a thing. To me, the people I care about are equally as important on my special day as my groom and myself. Case in point, my bridesmaids and I went dress shopping for them about two months ago. I decided to let them pick…
  • Many times, this may be the case. However, be sure to check with your physician before doing so. One of my aunts tried a similar diet (on top of a gluten free diet) for six months, and her body couldn't handle it. I tried something similar and experienced similar results (no fun!), and my physician decided the risks…
  • Twenty-five year old on Levo 100mcg, too, with many of the same symptoms.
  • Hello my fellow beautiful brides! I hope everyone's week is going great. My wedding is October 12, 2013, and my goal for this challenge is to lose 16 pounds. A weird number, I know, but it will put me at 175 lbs, which is a nice, rounded number. I'm currently 191 lbs, but hopefully not for much longer! Wedding planning is…
  • A local woman named her daughter Ebola.
  • Let's try this again! I was initially involved in Cycle 1, but life reared up, hit me in the face, and I decided to let the referee count me out ala boxing style. I'm pulling a Rocky, and I'm jumping back into the game. I'm getting married this October - so very excited! I have spent the last three weeks really focusing on…
  • I'm 25 with roughly 50 pounds to lose. :) Anyone is free to add me, and I hope everyone is having a great day!
  • Boo. My "breakfast" this evening put me over my calorie intake for the day by almost 200. I was barely awake and the fiance didn't want to cook, so he picked up Five Guys. Now it's all water until 3 AM. (Instead of counting calories from being awake to being asleep, I count midnight to midnight given I pull 30 hour days…
  • Ignore my crest and badge. I don't have a really good picture of it on my hand, but I love it. :) It's really special to me because he handpicked the diamonds himself, much like my father did for my mother.
  • A hearty congratulations all around to all of my other fellow brides-to-be! I am excited to be starting this challenge with everyone. Good luck to all! My name is Heather, and I am 24 going on 25. My fiance and I have been together for six and a half years, engaged for two, and will have been together for seven by the time…
  • Hello everyone! My name is Heather, and I am one of the stragglers that came in a little later to the competition. I am excited to be a part of Team Iris! This is my first week officially "back" to my healthy routine, so my start has been a little rough, but I am looking forward to getting on track. I have been focusing on…
  • A good evening/morning to everyone! My name is Heather. I'm 24, and I was diagnosed about a year and a half ago with hypothyroidism. Initially, I was placed on 75mcg of Synthroid, but recently my doctor bumped my prescription up to 100mcg. I have several classic symptoms - decreased energy, weight gained/"sticking", quick…
  • I am grateful I saw this, because I have been wondering the same thing myself. I work from 10:30p to 7:10a, so it has been interesting to see how everyone else tracks their intake. My current system of tracking my food (~7p = breakfast, ~3a = lunch, etc.) doesn't seem to work for me, and my days off tend to muddle things a…
