Awesome job.. I sure can see a big difference and I agree that 15 pounds seems like nothing until you compare the before and after pics. Keep up the good work. You look amazing!!!

Thanks, and I am sorry you had to go through this as well. Honestly I never eat my feelings. These times are hard and I still stay under my calories but it is just the lack of exercise because I feel drained with the crap I am going through. I am staying positive and looking forward. Better days are ahead!!!

Ok so this is a follow up to my last post on this forum/thread. I am finding that my motivation level has decreased. This is due to the stress that I am currently going through. Long story short, recently seperated since Sept. 2012. Unfaithful husband, and also found out he lied about his entire life to me so I married a…

Hi I'm Tammy, age 38, currently from Upstate NY. I have currently lost 18 lbs in 34 days, but still have 87 lbs to go to reach the goal weight I will be happy with. I have struggled in the past due to having Hosimoto's disease. Between this and the fact that I have been in menopause for 5 years due to a total hysterectomy…

I personal myself do not eat back any of my calories and this was something that I ran by my Specialist that deals with Weight loss and medical condition with in the Endocrine system. I was adviced if I wanted to loss weight that it is not recommended to eat back my exercise calories. I was on WW's almost 2 years ago and…

We all have those moments but you take the good with the bad and move forward. You are strong and proved it by keeping your appointment with the nutirtionist!!! This is a lifetime journey and this will not be the first or the last time you slip up, but you just have to say, "well today was not a good day but tomorrow will…

I looked through your diary for the past 6 days. The one thing I noticed is that you have been given 1500 calories but the majority of the time you are under 1000. You need to at least try to come close to your calorie given. Eating to low of calories does not help your body to get the nutrition it needs and also leaves…

I know I should be happy about 9 lbs in that little of time. Yes you are right maybe I should talk to someone and maybe this will help me in my weight loss journey. I know they have people talk to a theraphist when you consider any type of weight loss surgery because if you mind is not right then you have a hard time when…

Thanks for the suggestion. I will definately try it!! It actually sounds Good!!!

Your right lol I didn't gain it over night and I am not going to loss overnight...I just need to boost my self-esteem, confidence, and self-worth in myself. Long story short, bad marriage took all of these and I am fighting daily to bring them back.. I know I should be happy that I lost 9lbs in under 3 weeks, and I thank…

The doctor put me on Phentermine 37.5mg once a day in the AM one hour before breakfast. I take a multivitamin daily. I actually take the prenatal ones because they have more in them than regular vitamins, and the dr said it is good to take them. I weight myself once a week because I know there is fluctuation in your weight…

I was not a big drinker when it came to soda but I did love to have soda now and then. I have found a substitute for soda that has no calories, fat, carbs, or sugar. I got them at Walmart.. It is called Clear American Naturally Flavored Sparkling Water Beverage. They have a few flavors like Wild Cherry, Blackberry…

Ok I can say for me that working out was boring before. I have now, since, enjoy it more than I did before.. I have not done the Zumba workouts that are on here but I am going to try them today.. I have gone through a ton of the Zumba workouts on youtube and placed them in my favorites so I can get a good workout.. Well…

At the bottom of all the video's which have been shared it shows the name of the person instructing the Zumba workout. If you want to expand your video's you can put it in the search bar at the top of youtube (where it shows search) and it will bring you to more videos from that class instructor. If you like Amber Blanch's…

Thanks so much for sharing. I have Zumba for my Wii but have not done it yet, but I have added these to my playlist. I will try these and also the Wii. I am not very flexible, and as for dancing we that is another story lol. I can hook my laptop to the TV which is good because I can play these on the big flat screen.…

Thanks for all the replies. I have a routine set up for when I get up, Pills, Coffee & Breakfast, and then household chores, and then my snack. Then after that I usually work out. The time may vary when I get to the work out but I always find sometime in my day to get my workouts in whether it is the same time or not…

I am going to do the Fitbit pedometer. Where can I find one. I tried looking at my local Walmart but didn't see it. Does it have to be Fitbit pedometer or can it be another one that I can link to MFP ? So I want to make sure I understand what you stated. I can go by the 1530 calories and what ever I burn from exercise DO…

Twotontunic, It was nice to know that you have had the Gastric Sleeve and your results from it. You are also right, if a person does not stick to the diet and exercise after having the surgery then they are taking the risk of failing. The one friend I told you all about that had to have the tummy tuck, well she did not…

First I want to start out saying that I am not against anything that will help someone with their health and wellness. With that said, I have a friend that had gastric done, and she lost a good amount of weight (not sure how much but a lot). She had to have a tummy tuck because of excess skin. When she had the tummy tuck…
