I started last week and so far I've lost 10 pounds which is pretty great. Feel free to add me and I'll keep you posted about how it's going :)

Hi everyone- I just finished my "cleanse" phase and now am on day one of my actual diet. I've actually lost ten pounds already! I must say, today was hard but not for the reasons you might expect. After eating so little the past three days, I had a hard time finishing my meals! I heard talk of a group on facebook in this…

Thanks! I eat almost a completely vegetarian diet as it is, so that should be no problem for me. I was a vegetarian until I was 16 and even now I don't eat any red meat, just chicken from time to time.

All these responses have been great and so encouraging! I really hope that the addition of medication will help me with weight-loss and overall health improvement! I try to exercise daily but lately the lack of energy is making it SO hard! But like I said, I'm looking forward to getting some answers and medication to try…

That's true but make sure you keep in mind that a salad will fill you up/be much more nutritious!! I have a hard time remembering that its not just about the calories, its about what kind of calories you eat.

I'm from Leland but go to school downstate now.

We were talking about this in my medical sociology class- people are very uncomfortable with change. They see you as overweight and that's how they define you. Once your status doesn't go along with that idea anymore people don't know how to act toward you. Sort of similar to how a cancer survivor may feel- they were…

I'd like to try it but my apartment is TINY and I'd have to watch it on my computer... seems like a lot of people are talking about it though, maybe I'll clear some space and give it a shot.

Honestly I wouldn't worry much about sugar from fruit as your body doesn't digest it the same way it does processed sugar, but I try to stay away from juice since its such a concentrated amount at once.

I just dropped my cals back down to 1200 too... I think it's enough and I think you're doing the right thing- just eat when you're hungry and trust your body to tell you when you're going too hard.

Personally for weight loss/cardio I do Kundalini Yoga. Its super fun and combines strength training with fast paced movement, even a little dance. It's easily adjusted for people who are just beginning, and makes your body feel AMAZING when its over!

LOL I love this! ^^

I just did this but I'm having a really hard time believing that I'm supposed to be consuming over 2300 calories a day. That seems crazy! And why would MFP suggest I only eat 1200 per day when this website says I need more? I dont think I've ever averaged over 2000 calories a day, even when I gained all this weight :/ I…

From Leland, near Traverse City, but now I go to school in Ypsilanti. Pls add me if you're nearby.

I'm on it too, been on it for just over two months and I can't decide if I want to keep it up... After reading these posts I definitely sympathize with the hunger and libido- I just wonder if I would lose weight more easily without it?

Do not stress about sugar from fruits and vegetables! It's good for you and easily broken down in your system. Stay away from processed sugar and processed carbohydrates (they turn to sugar and are then stored as fat).

Grew up in Leland which is even more obscure if anyone knows of that, also add me :)
-
Im from Traverse City but now live in Ypsilanti for school. I need more friends on MFP I especially like local pals so if you are close to either of these places please add me :)
