Have you tried glumetza? It's the longer acting version of metformin and usually has less side effects. I've been taking 1000mg for about 3 weeks and the only side effect I've had is a bit of constipation.

I have a reconstructed femur due to a bone tumor. I've found that since I've strengthened my leg muscles I have less pain. Strong hamstrings are important for knee stability. Are you working out at home or in a gym?

I agree with oral allergy syndrome. I get it with raw pineapple although I can eat cooked as it changes the proteins. I'm allergic to sagebrush pollen which is why.

At least 100 to lose for me. Add me if you like!

I took some classes through a weight loss program and they recommended making a tool kit...a literal tool kit with anything that you think will help you and distract you. Examples are manicure supplies, a friend's phone number, strong mints or gum, affirmations, a journal, etc.

Depends on if you are a man or a woman I guess!

I'm sorry that you had to experience that but you should be very proud of yourself for taking steps towards better health. Feel free to add me, I have over 100 lbs to lose.

Over 100 to lose, add me!

You could cut out just the nipple areas on your shirts, provided it's not too cold out.

Pretty much. I had a couple of sessions with a trainer and I modified it a bit.

Have you tried BodyGlide? It's an antichafing stick you can buy at running stores and drugstores.

Thanks everyone. I have to get my heart rate up to get an endorphin rush and that's what keeps me exercising!

Looking to lose at least 100! Feel free to add me.

Add me too! Need some supports!

Add frozen berries or maple syrup and top with some walnuts. Also look at: http://yonanas.com/recipe_categories/banana-yonanas-recipes/

Cheese, meat, olive and pickle plate

It's delicious and mixes very nicely. I believe it is more of a meal replacement than a protein powder and has about 200 calories per scoop which is too much for me. I didn't notice any GI side effects, personally.

Any possibilities for community resources? We have something called The Good Food Box which is a monthly produce box for a good price throknugh our community. There's also community kitchen where a group gets together and cooks a bunch of meals and splits costs. Or is there anyone you could buy in bulk and split with? I…

Canadian nursing student here!

Third year nursing student from Canada here. Hoping to lose 50lbs for grad! Add me if you like!

I'm a nursing student who will be graduating in a year from now. I need to lose at least 100lbs, and would love to be down 50 lbs for graduation. While I've been obese my whole adult life, nursing school has made me the most unhealthy I've ever been!

I love carbonated drinks, so I bought a soda stream. I drink it plain, or it's really good with lime/lemon juice. Or diet pepsi.

Hey there, I'm back at MFP after being horrible at logging and paid the price for it. I lost 45lbs, stopped logging and gained back 30ish. Lesson learned! SW: 288 CW: 176 GW: 180

I'm just starting out...I know it will be a gradual long term change. On the days that I eat the most paleo meals, I find that my energy is way better, and I`m not exhausted by 3pm. I`m also not getting hungry as fast or feeling like I have low blood sugar. Additionally, I find it`s a lot easier to stay under on calories…

Feel free to add me. My goal is weight loss to feel healthier too. Just focus on treating your body right and it will treat you right. You can be beautiful at any size.

Here's a link to a bunch of recipes and shopping list to pre-prep a bunch of slow cooker meals. I haven't actually tried any of these yet, but before going back to school in the fall I fully intend to prep a bunch of meals. Looks pretty cheap too! http://lovingmynest.com/learning-activities/freezer-crock-pot-cooking-day/

Sounds delicious! I have a bunch of pizza dough in my freezer to use up too!
