  • Yes, I have discovered them also. Very good!!! I add some blueberries or other berries to it for extra nutrition and for fun and taste.

  • Were you wearing Sketchers Shape Ups, by chance. I found out that they cause foot and leg ailments. I have Achilles Tendonitis and can't work out or walk, or even stand up on my feet without pain.

  • From everything I have heard from some of the weight loss "experts" on here, aka body builders, they say that you should eat those calories. Otherwise your body will go into starvation mode. IF you are exercising, and starve yourself, your body will hold onto the calories, so they say. I was eating under my calories and…

  • That was just the encouragement I needed. I am not seeing the scale move either. But I am feeling better and have more energy now. I know muscle weighs more than fat, so I will try to remember that next time I get really discouraged. Some of my "friends" are losing weight at a faster rate than me, and it seems almost like…

  • Just watched Dr. Oz tonight. He said that if you take a supplement called Chromium Polynicotinate, it will help lower your blood sugar and perhaps stave off Diabetes. Hope that helps!

  • I think that may be my problem too. I got these Sketcher's ShapeUp sneakers. My right foot is flat so the arch in the shoe hits me right in the arch. (if there was an arch) My left shoe feels fine though. I can't walk very far in them. They take some getting used to, but I don't seem to be getting used to them and have had…

  • Wow! You actually have a doctor who told you what to do about losing weight. Mine just said to exercise and eat less calories. No referral to a nutritionist. Those are for personal coaches, which is big bucks. Every diet approach tells a person to check with your doctor before embarking on it. They don't know...they just…

  • woopsie I did not see that other response. I guess it happened after I posted mine and it refreshed itself. I had to go onto FB to remind myself how it was done. Nevermind! LOL

  • On the bottom of the Newsfeed page, there is a Edit Options button. Click on that and a list of hidden people show up. Then you just x them off the list. Mary Ann

  • I'm 5' 0" and just started this in January 2011. I began at 220 lbs. I am 54 and considered morbidly obese, though I don't think I look that fat. I have a big frameand am considered an endomorph. I want to get down to about 125-130. At my age, I think that would be a safe zone to shoot for. I doubt I will ever see the 119…

  • Sorry you are feeling sad. I found that when I ate SIMPLE Carbs, or overate, I was groggy with no energy and would take naps in the day. Then, of course, you don't feel tired at bedtime. What I have been doing is eating less of those breads, potatoes, rice, etc...and I feel more energy after eating proteins and complex…
