Don't take it. It can potentially be dangerous. Without knowing your starting kidney function, your sodium and electrolyte levels etc etc etc you can cause some problems. yes, diuretics are given to people to get rid of swelling, ie lasix. Lasix is a loop diuretic which should be monitored because it depletes your body of…

thanks yall! I was obsessed with weighing myself. it was so hard to break out of that cycle. but I was proud of myself and wanted to continue to see that number drop.

Thank you all so much! I have such a hard time looking at the before picture. I hope this inspires someone. I never EVER thought I would be able to do this. Your positivity and support mean SO MUCH to me!!

This warms my heart, thank you! 6 months ago I never dreamnt I'd be in this position. I changed my life completely, and am so thankful I did!

I ate clean and exercised almost everyday. I incorporated strength training and cardio along with staying within my calorie goal.

I've found that any way you serve quinoa is delicious. Some of my favorites: Quinoa burrito with light sour cream, taco sauce, shredded cheese, jalapeno peppers, lettuce, onion, tomato Quinoa with 1 tbsp hummus, mixed peppers (raw or frozen), and mixed frozen vegetables cumin pairs so well with it too! ive had it with…

Thanks yall! And the terrible part, I thought I looked good in that dress! :huh:

I try to eat clean and stay within my calorie goal set by MFP which I believe I have everyday since I started in September except for 1 day. On MWF I lift weights and do cardio, and I try to do at least 20 mins of cardio everyday. It took about a month and a half of my MWF routine to make it stick and I now absolutely HAVE…

Got it! I wasn't able to get the full picture on the screen. Hopefully that is better.

I only have almond milk. Do you think it will still taste good with that substitute?

i love hummus, that would be a healthy option. i dont eat meat but kabobs with veggies on would be a good pick it you do. i would opt for broiled fish. i'd be mindful of the carbs ie with the hummus see if you can get veggies instead of the pita. or if you want the pita, bc it is delicious-watch your portion size. if they…

I personally love kale. Not sure where the info came from about it being a garnish lol. Sweet potatoes and white potato chips that you make yourself. I'm not a chip fan but love vegetables and love different ways of preparing them. I know pampered chef sells a device that cooks the item of your choice into a crispy chip.

I loved tae bo! Do you have a HRM?

dr. oz can't mess with the power of the mind. and that ultimately holds the key to success. You need perserverance! these people who say, "if i did it, you can do it" kind of gets me...i mean, now that i have lost weight I can't say I haven't felt that comment come to mind. But, there is no magic potion, lotion, pill,…

OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!!!!! You look amazing!!! GREAT JOB!

squash....zuchinni and yellow squash are delicious. cut the squash into small circles, and cook on a george foreman or put on broil to brown it a bit and then flip and repeat on the other side. it's so good!

rice cake and peanut butter...i havent tried the pb2 yet, but i believe there are 45 calories in 2 tbsp. for an apple cinnamon rice cake it's 50 calories.

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great job! :-) Congrafulations!!
