  • .25 mg of topamax and I can't think. I have no appetite whatsoever and would totally forget to eat if I didnt set an alarm. When I do eat, it tastes OK, but the aftertaste is like when you ate hot pizza and kinda burned your mouth, if you know what I mean. Doesnt hurt, but not pleasant either. I have short term memory loss…
  • OH and congratulations on your new job and the fact you are thinking AHEAD as to how you will keep your healthy eating going! WOOT!!!:drinker:
  • As stated above, McDonald's doesn't make you sick or fat, eating more food than you are intended to does. I worked for them for a short while after my mother passed away. I was seeking a new career path in order to stay home with my 3 children. Mom watched them and I couldn't bare for anyone else to raise my kids. I have…
  • tried to fix it. the IMG should be img that are inside brackets. Great job!
  • Have you spoken with your doctor? Does he have you on any medication in conjunction with the low carb diet? I do know when I reduced my diet from crazy 3000 plus calories a day to 1500 (with exercise) after about a month I experienced lack of appetite. But when I did eat something, it triggered the hungry mode in me.…
  • Anna, this has been the hardest thing I have ever had to deal with! What has finally worked for me is probiotics. Good ones. I went to the health food store and bought the ones in the fridge. I am on a self imposed, very strict diet. I take the probiotic in the morning. Have no sugar, eat small meals with no spicy, tomato,…
  • Ahhh. I just saw IBS.com. Ok I will check it out.
  • Dear MFP Members, I have gone through and deleted a conversation which had nothing to do with the OP quesion, and de-railed the thread completely. Although MFP encourages differences of opinion in the correct context, and NO ONE became rude or abusive, I felt the OP deserved the respect of getting answers to the questions…
  • that website comes back as a job seeking site. do you have a better link?
  • Huh. They give Topamax as a weight loss tool? I am relieved to hear the side effects wore off for most people, because I am taking it for chronic migraines and need it to work! The fact I have lost a few pounds is great, but I need it to take away the migraines. Thanks for the idea of setting an alarm as a reminder to eat.…
  • Hello Folks, I have cleaned up this thread, as it was de-railed from it's original intention: The success of the OP. In the process some of your posts were chopped up, hope I did an OK job:wink: :flowerforyou: Arewethereyet MFP Moderator
  • above here, in the blue line, it says FIND MEMBERS. You will need to know her tag name. the easiest way is for her to come to this thread and post:wink:
  • Either have her come here and post so you can click on her name, or search it above. Click the name and it will give you the option to add as friend. You can practice on mine if you like.
  • Yes-but only the refridgerated kind that have a bazillion strands in them! :laugh: The back story: I had a bout of IBS about 15 yrs ago and it went away. After separating from my 27 yr marriage, I noticed some changes, but chalked it up to bad food, no exercise and stress. Finally I went in for an unrelated colonoscopy and…
  • Oh my goodnes, why dump the yolks? They are the yummiest part!:love:
  • the trick is to get them in ice cold water asap to shrink the egg from the shell. I use a colander to strain the water, then place the colander in a bowl with ice/water in it. Or if I have just a couple, I hold them under the running water. I am in South Florida so our water is tepid not cold. After I run them for a few…
  • Whitney Houston "I Will Always Love You" My daughter and I would sing it in the car when she was little. We still do and she is 25 :laugh:
  • I used mine on a trainer! LOVED it! All for me. I negotiated and recieved quite a few sessions for that money. Lasted about a yr
  • No.......BUT.......I have some health issues and have to eat 3 hours before laying down. When I lost 36 pounds with MFP I ate wheat crackers and peanut butter at 8 pm every night:drinker:
  • My trainer had me use stairs. I started up high, working my way over months to the floor. I also did planks which helped to strenghten a lot of my body. When I finally did the one full push up it was an amazing feeling and I was almost 50! Now you are making me want to start up again:wink:

  • From what I have been told,I had the most fun at Peter Frampton :blushing: My all time favorite was Carol King and James Taylor. Since I was 11, I went to their music to sooth me when things were very bad, so it was a dream come true to sit close up and personal and listen:heart: :heart: :heart:

  • A friend of mine exercised each time she wanted a butt, and lost instead of gained while quitting. What better time then when you are shaking things up!?! She has a treadmill but even a staircase in your home, or walking in place can do the trick! I wish you all the luck and sticktoittiveness in the world:flowerforyou:
  • When someone I know gained back 50 pounds about 5 yrs post bypass, her doctor put her on strength training. She was lucky enuf to have her ins pay for some, and she could afford most of having a trainer. She would do some cardio, like 15 min to warm up, then do balance/strength training for an hour or so ever other day. By…
  • That was very nice of you:flowerforyou: Don't want to get off topic, but you never know WHO you are helping. I had forgotten how much better I felt when I ate like this. I too would split my lunch in two. (less thinking:tongue: ) Thank you so much, as now I will start this up again! I know I am going to feel so much…
  • Well the idea of "recipes' was to have them posted here. Some add pix and websites.......but if you cruise thru the threads in Recipes you will find many good ones. Another thing you can do is use the search tool.
  • I noticed that but a mile is not just a mile. If you walk that mile in 20 minutes, you are going 3.5 if you do it in 13 minutes 2.5 or something like that. So the calorie burn for 1 mile is different depending on the speed. So when I walk the dog fast for a mile, in 15 minutes I log it as 3.5 mph walking dog. The best way…
