While I was pregnant and for awhile afterwards, my OB told me to take 1000 mg of Magnesium at night for the fibro...in 3 days I felt like a new person! I never went back to the Rhumetologist, and after awhile, stopped the Magnesium. I have bouts now and again, but it's usually if I get really cold, or if the pressure in…

What didn't kill me, strengthened me...

I have carpel tunnel, and the push ups didn't hurt at first, but after day 6, I woke up in so much pain...had to rest it for about 4 days. Now I do them on my fists because my wrists stay straight. Can almost do as many, and I feel that it's working my chest more this way as well.

Since I've been single mom'n it with the hubby out of town working, I'm usually thinking, I wonder what the kids are tearing up...Is Jamie pouring his food all over the floor that I just mopped? Are they killing the dog? How much longer before I get interrupted because they are fighting about something silly? Did I put the…

My Shoulders and back...much due to cleaning houses for a living. Dusting, Vacuuming and mopping 7000 sq ft houses will do that :D

I know I will probably get dogged for saying this, but when I was at 277lbs and had tried and tried and tried again, I went to a bariatric clinic for help. 119lbs later, I can say that I am very glad that I did. I needed an appetite suppressant while I relearned how to eat. I used it for about 5 months, under a dr's care,…

I plan on buying one for the first time in a LONG time for our vacation this summer...wouldn't quite wear one yet, but I'm still workin' on it :D

My husband loved me at 300 lbs...now that I am 157 and he is still his same 185 with a pot belly, how could I be so shallow to let that come between us? He worries about it, but as supportive as he has been, it wouldn't matter to me what his weight is. I would love for him to be healthier so that he will hopefully live a…

Height: 5'6" Age/Gender: 37 yrs. Female Highest weight- 290 lbs Lowest weight- Can't even remember, been battling for SOOOO long! Current weight -157 lbs. Goal weight - 145...unless I get there and am not satisfied, then maybe 140.

I take a multi, Fish Oil, Vitamin C (and haven't had a cold all winter!) And D3 and Iron because I am deficient...Found out about the D3 because of my Fibro bloodwork, and have been turned away donating blood several times, so added the iron.

Someone gave me seaweed crisp things...the first bite was like, oh, cool, I could eat this...and then the aftertaste...YUK!

I think you have the right idea...you are doing what works for you! I, myself, have cut carbs and sugar way down, and have lost over 140 lbs, because that's what has worked for me. It's the only "diet" that has ever been sustainable and satisfying to me. However, I do cheat, not often, but I do :D

last name is Tuck, my oldest daughter by my first marriage is a Smith...

False...I try but fail most days. TNP is feeling blah because it's monday.

truely amazing, I am so happy for you! Way to go!

I've had people see me...look at my kids, and then it hits them..."WOW". Not being recognized is definately my favorite compliment! Way to go!

bottom line....my ex husband use to say this all the time, and that's when I knew he had been drinking WAY too much...

I searched for results also, and couldn't find anything. I plan on starting the program in the middle of march, since that is when my husband, also known as the babysitter while I go and workout, will be out of town working for a month and a half. Since I am losing my ability to leave the house and workout due to the…

Not really cheating, but did have a couple of Mic Ultra Lime Cactus...yum!

I can't eat them without over doing it, so I give a donation and tell them to keep the cookies, lol. I'm toooooooo weak to even have them in the house!

Yay! Thanks!

164.4 as of this morning. Add me to the challenge, if you don't mind! would love to be at my goal of 145 by the end!

So awesome! This is also one of the things that I look forward to, being able to ride ALL the rides in an amusement park! Way to go!

There are low carb options for tortillas, which I use if I want something "sandwhichy". Ole' Xtreme wellness has only 5 grams of net carbs (carbs minus the dietary fiber and/or sugar alcohols), and they are pretty good :)

I can't stand for anyone, including my husband, to touch my neck right under my chin...shiver...

Brewster's MIllions?

We go to the beach the week of July 4th, and I have 19 or so pounds left to lose, and some serious toning still in progress!

I'm 5'6" and 164 lb and wear a size 12, some 10s...down from 300 lbs and tight 24s :D
