I am picky about vegetables, too. Some things I've tried doing to sneak in more veggies: 1. Hide lots of small cut up veggies in soups, chili, or pasta sauces. The smaller the dice, the less offensive I find them. Usually it is the texture I dislike, even more than the taste, and this hides both pretty well. 2. Mix them…

Thanks for the input! I did a little more research after posting this and decided to just go for it. I ended up getting one that can be used as a pedaler or as an elliptical-style machine if you stand on it. Maybe when I lose more, I'll be able to give the standing version a shot, but so far I have only used it a couple…

I have a charm bracelet that I get to add a new charm to each time I reach a mini-goal. I also have a mason jar where I "pay myself" a dollar for each pound lost at each weekly weigh in. Both my husband and my mom have agreed to match me dollar for dollar, so I'll be making $3 from each pound I lose! I'll use that money to…

I also take it at double your dose (and have been for several years) and it hasn't stopped me losing so far. It may be one of the factors that slows it down more than it would otherwise, but it is certainly possible to maintain or even lose weight while on it. Good luck!

Thanks for the encouragement! I have been eating back a lot of what I burn in exercise, so maybe that is part of the problem. I'm going to try to cut down on that. As far as variation, I have not really been doing any one thing consistently enough to think that is the issue, but I'm also going to branch out and try some…

I'm not sure. I haven't been measuring inches, but maybe I should start. Thanks for the tip!

Thanks for the information. You're right... and from past experience, I should expect the weight loss to come as you said in "chunks." I guess I just keep waiting for the chunk to happen and after a month, it starts to feel like it isn't going to. I just need to give it more time and keep making healthy choices. Like you,…

Thanks for your response. 16 pounds in a normal month would be excessive, but it's not really unreasonable for my first month considering how heavy I am and how much I have to lose. That said, your point about water loss is probably true and could definitely be a big part of the difference from month 1 to month 2. Thanks…

Thanks so much! I will definitely be looking into these. :)

Love it!
