I thought I'd reached that moment when my doctor had to prescribe medication to slow down my heart rate because I was obese with a mitral valve prolapse. That wasn't it though. What finally did it for me was the day I got out of breath and started sweating from carrying groceries up my stairs. I'm 4 weeks in and I've lost…

I have Fitness Your Way through my health insurance. I pay $25 a month total and belong to two gyms (ANYtime Fitness and LA Fitness).

You can add me as well. CW - 229 GW - 150 - 160 I'm 42, divorced, have two teenagers, hypothyroidism, mitral valve prolapse, and depression. I think some of my weight gain may be medication related (depo provera, propranolol, remeron) and thyroid related. This doesn't make it OK, I just feel like I have to work 3x as hard…

I never thought it was food related. Tomorrow is cardio at 7am. Guess I'll try eating something before I go. A cup of mixed fresh fruit maybe and see how it goes.

I'm not really a breakfast eater so I don't usually eat until late morning. I don't eat when I do cardio first thing in the morning, but I don't feel hungry either. I drink 40 ounces of water during my workout and 80 - 100 ounces for the entire day.

I'm in. I've gained 7 pounds this past month after working very hard to lose 27. Sometimes I feel like giving up but I really want to get to a healthy weight.

Hi, I was up to 212. My goal is 150. I just lost 8 pounds in 9 days! But I'm sure that's just the water, beginning of a diet weight loss thing going on. I'm not getting too excited about it, I lost 12 pounds in 12 days the last time I did this and everything after that was a struggle. Please add me, I need and will be…

My kids and fiance are used to it so they hardly notice anymore. My son (who desperately needs to gain weight) sometimes comments that he doesn't think I'm eating enough. I remind him that he needs to eat far more calories in a day than I do. I rarely eat out but when I do it's always with the same friend and she also uses…

I'm not a doctor or nutritionist by any means but I think the more fiber the better. Could it be you upped your fiber intake too fast? I think your body has to adjust. If you were eating minimal fiber before maybe you should try less fiber and increase the amount gradually. No one should have to be sick or in pain because…

5'11" lady here. Being tall does have it's own challenges, especially when clothes shopping, lol. Anyone can add me.

I'm not a health food fanatic and don't associate myself with any specific type of eating but my diary is open and you're free to add me.

Oh wow. Doctors love to diagnose ADHD and hand out meds like their candy. ADHD is a rule out diagnosis. Since there is no specific test to diagnose ADHD any other possible cause should be ruled out first. For the kids that truly do have ADHD and take medication that works, great! Not all kids originally diagnosed with ADHD…

It's a personal choice. My diary is open, I haven't had anyone comment on it. Perhaps if I was getting negative comments or comments about my food combinations I would close it. I like to look at other people's diaries, not to critique but just to get ideas. I'm not looking to "copy" anyone's diet but just looking for…

I was from Jersey. Moved to PA a few years ago. I'm looking to get some friends on here for support.

Hi! I'm also new, or new to taking more seriously.

I also need to add friends.

I know this post is a little old but I had to comment. I started depo Jan 2012 at 37 year's old. I had taken it for 3 year's in my 20's and didn't gain an ounce. In Jan 2012 I weighed 157, a great weight for someone that's 5' 11". Today I weigh 200 pounds. I gained 43 pounds in the past year. I've tried dieting and really…
