  • I LIKE YOU! ^^^^
  • This is a WIN for providers such as myself who work in a "medical center" who's focus is treating the dis-ease of living created by the symptom of obesity. Too many times I come across someone who would greatly benefit from my services and that of my team to discover the root of the issues that have resulted in the…
  • Thanks everyone, it's gotten a lot better. With the patch, even when taking it off at night the dreams have been CRAZY so I think I've been clenching at night. I went to my lovely chiropractor and he did accupuncture on the sides of my head for the jaw muscles as well as massaged the muscles and adjusted my jaw and it's…
  • I am 38 days cig free. I used the book Allan Carr's Easy Way to Quit Smoking for Women (HIGHLY RECOMMEND) as well as the patch. No withdrawl at all and I love how I smell now and how everything tastes :)
  • It was explained to me that women have breast tissue ALL OVER their upper chest cavity. Pregnant women sometimes feel pain on their sides and under their arm pits. Have a radical double mastectomy will not remove 100% of this tissue. There will still be "some" because it's impossible to get it all. However, as we've seen…
  • This information above is false. I did the same thing as she did in 2010 because of my family history/genetics. Insurance paid 100% of it INCLUDING my deductible.
  • I've also realized, again as it's happened several times in my weight loss journey that when I get overly tired/bored/sad/upset my go to's were food, smokes, cocktails. I had a pretty long day yesterday at work and some things are changing at work and all I wanted to do was go to a local pub, sit in the beautiful weather…
  • I think I might have turned a corner. I spent all day with my mom yesterday who is a smoker and she only smoked twice while I was there and she smokes outside when she has company but the only time I even thought about smoking the entire time was after I had dinner. The moments are becoming fewer where I even think about…
  • Doing good, still using the patch and just started ready Allen Carr's Easy Way :) - I have a feeling by the time I'm done with the book I'll be done with the patches too! :)
  • Having one of those days where I needed a release of either a gut wrenching laugh or a gut wrenching sob - I went with the laugh! Thanks all!
    in I'm done... Comment by salgalbp May 2013
  • Thank you for posting. You ladies are STUNNING!
  • Hi Gordon - my TDEE is approx. 1900, BMR approx. 1500 (I say approx. because I've had many different variations) - I'm sitting at approx. 27% BF - I've had tests say 20%-30%. I'd like to get a dexa scan in the near future so I can tighten these variations. After many years of dieting I have finally wrapped my brain around…
  • Thanks all! Very encouraging to hear from all of you and I'll check out the links suggested! You all are incredibly inspiring to me so thank you!
  • I want this in my topics! I'm at 26% BF and I don't give a rats what the scale says but I want that 20% BF! Thanks for all the helpful hints folks! Sal
  • Agree with all the posters who said confidence! I recently went to a work wellness conference with 40 of my co-workers I've never met. I smile most of the time and I'm super friendly. My friends always said I could make friends anywhere anytime. (I get this from my Dad) I also tend to have rose colored glasses on 99% of…
  • ^^^This^^^ x 1000!
  • For me personally ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! I prefer to get lost in my mans arms not vice versa!
  • Just wanted to reply again because I think of you often and I am SOOOOO ROUTING for you!
  • It's gone well. In some aspects better than I thought and in some a little harder than I thought.... I changed up my morning routine, even drive a different route to work. Instead of going to the local stop for coffee and a pack of smokes I have tea in the morning and take a different road so I don't drive past my local…
  • Keep lifting girlfriend or start. I've also lost 120-130ish (depends on the week) and I know that when I'm in a good lifting routine my arms tighten up and I'm proud of them. ALSO - eating clean to lose the BF%, Bigger Musles, Less Body Fat % will help fill out and tone up the skin. It'll never go 100% away with out…
  • So inspiring!!! Thank you for sharing your story!
  • Thanks so much Nellyett!! :)
  • THANKS!!! I'm happy, excited and VERY PROUD to say that I'm on my 101th HOUR of not smoking!!! :) The patch is really helping and I've changed my morning routine, cleaned my car windows and plan on vacuuming and detailing the inside on Saturday. Since it is no longer a smoking vehicle it needs to feel and smell that way…
  • ^^^^^^THIS^^^^^^^ I wear cowboy boots every day to work and I work in Health Care :)! - However, my Ariat's have held up the best! I also wear them dancing although line dancing has gone out of style in our area I love to 2-step, 3-step, swing, polka, waltz, jitter-bug and I wear cowboy boots to do that as well!
  • WOWWWWIE!!!! Way to go, STUNNING!
  • Hey Girlfriend! I'm SO glad you're still here and just wanted to say hello, I'm routing for you and don't give up!!! We're all here for the same reason and that is our health. We're in it together, one day at a time! Sal
  • WAY TO GO!!!!!!!! So Inspiring! Thank you for sharing!
  • You're doing great! Keep it up!
  • Besides for ALL OF THE REASONS you wrote about in your original post, his co-dependence on his family is another HUGE RED FLAG! For anyone to be that reliant on their family on the opinions of their loved ones body shape, size etc. is extremely unhealthy and something you should not have to deal with. It sounds as is he…
