  • I have had similar results literally with any anti depressant type of drug, and while your Dr may say it's not a side effect of the drug itself, I honestly believe those drugs create necesarily a chain of symptoms that unlitmately can cause weight gain. I have fibromyalgia, and have been put on nearly all of those stupid…
  • My sister in law was in the middle of a multiple hundre pound drop the first time she got pregnant. She gave up her dieting during the pregnancy, then got right back on it as soon as my niece was born... Fast forward to 5 years later, she'd lost her 'baby fat' and continued on her body sculpting when she got pregnant…
  • At first, I just had the phone app to help me count calories for a biggest loser style competition and knew that food journaling would make me think a little more about what I put in my body. But before I knew it, I was showing all my friends, they all thought I was a little silly... Now they're seeing the beginning of…
  • Well, your friend cant lose the weight for you, and the reality of the situation is that if this was easy, we'd all look exactly like we want to and never need a website support system... But here we are... So, that being said, nobody else can change you, only you can change you, and if you truly want results you just have…
  • Everyone needs that boost in the beginning to reassure us that were doing the right thing... It's definately helped me feel like keeping it up!! Yay for small victories, cuz they add up to the big ones and we need them to move on to the next battle!!
  • Im more concerned about the sugars... Because I've been making a valiant effort to avoid sugars but I too seem to be over even when I'm under my calories...
  • When I start getting geared up in the morning, she no linger cares about her watm fuzzy bed... But Oh My God when I grab the running shoes she really starts going cukoo! Then the backpack goes on and she waits by the door, anxiously awaiting me to click on a leash and us go out in the big world!! I love it!
  • I have a blue nose pitbull, and we try to go out everyday... Where our normal route is is about 3.5 miles up a good hillclimb, then of course back down... It's also where all the housewives run and sometimes folks dont appreciate me bringin a dog, but she wears a backpack, literally carries 2 liter water bottles and wags…
  • 1. Ear cover good, even necesary, even possiby like a motorcycle or messenger bike face cover, I'm sure you've seen something that covers the botton half of your face. I would probably wear light colored lens sunglasses to protect my eyeballs from the frozen. 2. If you can afford it, invest in some cold weather running…
  • Well, the truth is any of the thermogenics on the market will help jump start your weight loss, and I had great results about 5 years ago with one of them, but unless you are using that time to also retrain your body's habits, you will gain it all back just as fast if not faster than you lost it... So much more satisfying…
  • That's a tough one... and this is coming from a 25 y/o who was 'encouraged' to lose the weight at and before her age... I've been on the diet rollercoaster my whole life and I wish that someone would have taught me the importance of feeling good in my own skin instead of trying to show me how much better off id be if I…
  • Good time to take control... The longer you wait, the harder these changes can be for our bodies and medicines to adapt to! Biggest help... small steps. Ya, the biggest loser concept is great, but lets face it, if you could go at 100% intensity all the time and for the long haul, you wouldn't be at this point... I was a…
  • I think I started losing weight when I was considering buying the size 20 stretch jeans... It seemed like just one day nothing fit... And I did the same thing, went to 'just see' where I was, bought a size 13 jeans that day, the next month, I had to buy 11... My sister's wedding is in June and I have no idea what size…
  • Easy there tiger, it's really easy to just tell yourself to stay away from the things you love... NOT!! Skinny ***** drink good... We do grape vodka and flat water, if you need the bubbles, go for the soda water... I learned the hard way, every now and then you have to allow yourself those over the top nights, trust me..…
  • I live in a house where I am constantly temtped by all the things I shouldn't be eating and people with habits I'm trying to break too... But with this tracker, I feel like I'm accountable not only to myself or a number on the scale... But I still have to wake up everyday and make the decision to continue tracking.
