Truth!!

I have been taking it for a little over a week and honestly, I don't feel any different. The only thing I have noticed is that I am not snacking as much during the day (other than my normal planned snacks) but I haven't lost any extra weight than just applying CICO. My goal was to increase my metabolism...and my advice is…

You are so right to be scared of Essure! NOT a good product! Killed one of my friends in January and almost killed me! Thankful I no longer have it! Even if it caused me to have a total hysterectomy at the age of 30...worth it.

Please don't get Essure. I'm 30 years old and just had a hysterectomy to have it removed. Almost killed me. Please do something else! www.facebook.com/essureproblems

Please be careful with this method. I am 30 years old and just had a total hysterectomy to get Essure out. If you start noticing changes (pelvic pain, bleeding, rashes, weight gain I mean the list goes on and on) It almost killed me. It perforated out of my fallopian tube and was almost to the point of migrating. There is…

You look amazing! Congrats on a job well done! :)

Twins! 29, 5'3 SW: 263 CW: 258 GW: 160 Mom of 2 boys, married and work full time for the city. I'm not even a month in yet, but I'm determined. I'm active daily and my diary is open:) Add me if you like!

This sounds like a much better option. Master Cleanse is no joke...and your a**hole will feel like the 7 rings of fire...or so I've heard.

I have about 80 lbs to lose...and it's definitely slow going. I've lost 7 lbs in 3 weeks and I'm totally ok with that. I only want to do this once so I would rather lose it super slow and keep it off than lose it fast and put it right back on. I just changed the way I eat and I walk every day. I gave up soda for the most…

I also have Essure...funny it's hormone free but I have gained about 50 lbs in the 3 years I've had it. Awful product.

My scale reads that I gained 4 lbs since yesterday morning. I'm not sure how accurate it is or if I'm just retaining water really bad. I slacked on my water intake over the weekend...I don't think I had any yesterday. So, don't get discouraged!

I've been at this for going on a month and have only lost around 4 lbs...and it fluctuates daily. I'm not worrying so much about the number on the scale but how my clothes are fitting and how I'm feeling. Try to focus more on that and it won't seem like such a big deal to only lose 2 lbs. Good luck and keep up the good…

Me too with the room temp water. I can't drink cold water unless I'm hot or eating. I like Smart Water, but usually will just buy one and then keep filling up the one liter bottle with filtered water.

I've also been diagnosed with fibro (not sure how accurate that is...I know the pain will lessen as I lose weight) But the pool is a great option. I also have some arthritis and I find that the low impact benefit of the pool is awesome. Great for when you're having a flair up and there are a lot of places that offer water…

I have coffee every morning. It's a must for me. I used to be a huge Starbucks addict and would drink most of my calories in a day. Now I just stick to home brewed coffee, low fat creamer and natural sweetener or a little sugar. Now I can also eat during the day instead of just drink coffee:)

Ugh...me too. That stuff is how I imagine crack being.

Sure, go for it. If you want to torture yourself and have any and all weight you lose during the 21 days come right back when you're done. 21 days is insane. Water is the best cleanse there is. Stick to that. A 3 day cleanse I can see, just to eliminate some water weight...but 21 is crazy.

Thanks for this! Just added it to my list!

I'll be 30 in December and I feel the same way! Want to start my 30's the opposite way I started my 20's!

Grilled chicken, turkey bacon...use your imagination. Didn't say it would be good!

SkinnyPop popcorn. 37 calories for 1 cup. You can find it at Sams. They have another brand, but I can't remember it right now, there are different flavors and all very low in calories.

You could probably make your own and cut out half the calories:) (No fun, I know)

148 calories for 4 cups of skinnypop.

Me too! :) Lets get it! :)

I never gained weight on the pill. I did on Depo. Then I got Essure in 2010 and I've put on about 50 lbs. Funny thing is, Essure is the only non hormonal BC I've ever been on and I've gained the most weight with it. Don't ever get Essure!!! So many issues.

And have you tried the cinnabon delights at Taco Bell?? OMG. I've been skinny before...they taste better than skinny felt! ha!

^^^This...all day long.

^^^This Edited to say, the only thing I've ever tried of Advocare that I did like was the Spark. Not because it makes you lose weight, but it does boost your energy on days you would rather sit on the couch instead of get up and work out.
