Contrary to the opinions so far ... I loved Phentermine! Not being hungry helped me to make better choices as to what I put in my mouth, and to not crave the bad stuff. If you are otherwise healthy, then why not? Hoping it works for you!

I agree 100% with this poster ... you, and you alone make this choice. I am losing on a low carb, low calorie (and yes, it can def be done eating clean meat and veggies) diet. I hit plateaus, yes, but the scale keeps going in the right direction ... DOWN ... and my weight is lower than it has been since I was in my late…

The only problem I ever had with 'Trazzies' were the NIGHTMARES ... and this is common. My sister takes Trazodone with no problems for sleep issues, and it puts her right to sleep, and she sleeps throughout the night and awakes with no adverse effects. I take Ambien myself and have no adverse effects, despite the recent…

That is FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!

This with plenty of Splenda (did eliminate creamer unless it's a special occasion) and full-fat cheese!

Don't worry about other people and their uneducated opinions! Have the WLS, lose the weight, do what you need to to live and LIVE happily ever after. I had RNY gastric bypass WLS in 2001 and gained back part of my weight, which I have lost again, plus more weight, and I am now smaller than I have been since I was in my…

I gained on Lexapro. I take seven meds daily, six of which have weight gain as a known, normal side effect. But, for most of us, we can still lose if we adjust our diet and exercise accordingly. It's harder, true, but it can be done. I have struggled for years and put on lots of additional weight due to meds ... but thru…

You mentioned that your husband is in the hospital? Maybe it's just emotional eating and will go away when other issues in your life resolve themselves. It's one day. Don't beat yourself up.

YOU are so diligent about your exercise ... I hate to see that you aren't losing! I agree about the 1800 calories also. At my weight, 166lbs now, I wouldn't lose at 1800 - I keep my calories around 1200. It's not that I am depriving myself to hit the 1200 calorie goal, that's just where I end up daily after eating what I…

bump for later

THIS! I have been losing on approx 1200 calories, a low carb, high protein diet - clean, not processed foods. I am not really counting anything, just being careful what I put in my mouth and it tends to add up to the 1200 calories daily. Is it working? Yes. Am I sticking with it? Yes. If it stops working, will I revise my…

Wow .... you jump one person for being snarky (which, BTW, I agreed with) then you post the above? Glad he called you on it.

Bump ... check out those links

This ... I def agree. I use one called Sweet Nothings by Maidenform ... I like the one that you can wear your own bra, but it covers your back to your bottom and just under your boobies to your ... well you know lol. They are great and really smooth you out. What's even better is that they are a reasonable price point and…

SUCCESS was the PERFECT place to post Deb. We may not yet be at the end of our journeys, but we are SUCCESS stories to this point.

Bahahaha!!!

Bump - want to finish this one.

My husband makes homemade hummus all of the time ... and I love it with sun-dried tomatoes! I call him the Hummus King ... I have never tasted any commercial hummus better. Anyway, I will stop bragging lol. There is always a slowcooker of chickpeas cooking ... always lol. We have a Ninja blender and it blends the chickpeas…

Bahahaha! THIS

CW 170 and would love to weigh 150 by 5/29! That would be awesome!!

THIS ... glad you caught what OP said about her health issues Albertabeefy! :drinker: A low carb diet (not no carb) would benefit her. And yes, you can lose weight on a low carb diet ... I have lost 75 pounds so far low-carbing it and I am happy and healthy and the weight is still coming off.

1, 2, 5, 8. 9 and 10 aren't bad ... it's not all a load of crap. Soup ... really? IMO, Soup runs right through you and is usually loaded with sodium ... pretty worthless, no matter what the commercials tell us. I limit dairy ... so I guess I am doomed to be fat, although I have lost quite a bit of weight since I do very…

This! Very good point!

This ... well said!
