This is absolutely amazing!!! Congrats!

Wow, how incredibly awesome! Thanks for sharing!! Congrats!

Oh my gosh, That is just awesome. Thanks for sharing!

I love various fruit flavored green tea. Coffee was upsetting my stomach, but I needed the caffeine, so I use this instead. I love it!

Wow. This is just awesome. Thanks so much for sharing!!!

Bump ;) I love shrimp and would love healthy recipes!!

I have a friend who has this problem, and she found out she has Celiac.... If she now eats anything with gluten, she is in the bathroom for the rest of the day. Also, my son's doctor said those with a milk sensitivity tend to also have problems with soy milk. She had us try almond, coconut or rice milk. He gobbles up…

My current favorite is American Authors - Best Day of My Life :smile:

Bump to save for later :smile:

I would love to join, if you'll add new members to the group! I'm not sure how to though!

bump. =)

Wow, what an interesting post. And very inspirational responses. I do get scared of the final goal. I've always been great at losing the weight, but then would feel like I got there and thought I could be done. I thought I didn't have to count calories, that I didn't need to watch my portions, or the kinds of things I was…

Vitamin D is great for energy. =) I don't know about B, but I do take D, and I love it! More in the winter months for me, because of the lack of the sun, and then less in the summer. Good luck!

A lot of those places have nutritional info on the web - so you can look up their menu, see what you would like, and then check out the calories for them. I love to eat at Applebee's because they have an under 550 calories section. I had a shrimp and sirloin deal just the other night with veggies and potatoes, and it was…

And what about water? Are you getting enough? Or did you suddenly cut out caffeine??

That doesn't sound right.... Are you eating back your exercise calories? Otherwise, what else is going on? Stressful events? Have you had your iron checked? Getting enough Vitamin D? Or what about - are you pregnant?? I'm sorry I don't have answers, but I definitely think it should good looked at!

Oh I absolutely agree with you! It is SUCH a great excitement to see the 10s number go down!!!!

Oh start with 3!!!! Then go up from there. I've been doing it for a while now, and on the majority of the exercises, the 3 lbs still get me good - just a couple I use 5 with! I love it, good luck!

I would look into different exercise videos... find low impact ones to start with, and gradually work your way into higher impact ones as you lose and get stronger! I am just getting into the exercise dvd world... so I don't have suggestions for you. Good luck and keep up the good work!

I'm sorry to hear about your loss and your difficult battles with family illness. I'm sorry to hear that your grandmother passed. It definitely is hard to cope with things like that. I hope that all goes well for you and you can reach your goals! You can do it! Good luck!!

I'm definitely feeling it... try taking Vitamin D - it definitely does help! I usually up my Vitamin D supplement a little more this time of year because of not being outside in sunshine! We're almost to spring!

Well... two ways... if you set your goal at 1.5 lbs to lose a week, then it will raise your calories and then you eat your 400 exercise calories. Or, with where you're at right now, you eat your 1220 and your 400-500 exercise calories... so totalling 1620-1720 depending on what you do for the day. Your Net Calories equals…

I have a few thoughts... First, you could try to start slow. Start with setting it as 1 lb a week, and then slowly move it to the 2 lbs a week so that your body gets used to the reduced calories. That's what I did, and it really seemed to help me. Are you drinking enough water? I'm terrible at it, but I do feel it helps…

Okay... first, if you think there might be something medical going on - definitely check with your doctor - because that can have a major roll in it. I did check your diary. The two things I noticed was that there was never any water logged. It is SUPER important to drink water. I struggle with getting all of mine in, but…

LOVE IT! Definitely got me laughing!

I haven't, but I would talk to your doctor to find out if you can start doing more. You definitely don't want to push it too much or too fast. That is a major surgery, so you don't want to take the restrictions lightly. Good luck and hang in there!

Don't give up!! There are so many awesome gowns that fit all diferent shapes and sizes! I'm one of them! I was shorter and definitely heavier than I wanted to be on my wedding day (and trying on, too), and I found some amazing dresses - one that I absolutely loved and felt beautiful in! Try on all different styles to find…
