  • For some reason, I keep buying the size I used to wear. It's like I can't accept it. But a few weeks ago, I wore something that I bought with the idea I'd wear it when I lost weight. I didn't even have to kill myself with spanx (it was pretty clingy). And yet I just ordered a top in my old size, even though my old tops in…
  • Anything you buy over the counter is worthless (rule of thumb). Eat raspberries. They are nothing but good for you, are filling and not too expensive. You won't get a boat load of ketones, but you really don't need them. Just working on getting enough calcium, vitamin D and B12. I also take Vitamin E.Getting the proper…
  • I am in! I am cautiously optimistic about spring arrving and walking being a thing that could happen!
  • That is very doable, 6.5 lbs per month is a reasonable and healthy goal. I am about 2 months in and I've lost 17lbs as of last Wednesday, so I am really hoping I can hit 25 before month 3. It is 8 lbs... for the thrid month of weightloss, it is probably a pipe dream. Enjoy!
  • What everyone else has said plus one. It isn't a free day if you weigh yourself right after! It becomes "nightmarish recriminations day!" That's no fun. Weigh yourself once a week, same time of the day, write it down and move on. Remember your weight can fluctuate depending on your time of the month, sodium intake and just…
  • I would also recommend working with a baratric specialist. (not a surgeon). I've been working with a doctor and his team for the last 7 weeks, I've lost 17 lbs so far. At your weight (been there by the way, I looked okay too.) you need the support of team who specializes in weight loss behavioral control. My husband was…
  • Think of your body not as fat or thin. Remember that there are almost a million other reasons that you could hanging out within 3 lbs of your lowest weight. This could be your dreaded plateau, the point where your body feels like resting for a few minute. It could be that you are reaining water, or that your hormones are…
  • I've been taking it for a little over a week. I was skeptical about diet drugs, but it is working out very well. I am doing this with medical supervision and that has done so much to improve my general attitude about everything. Treating it as a condition, not a personality flaw makes lifestyle changes easier to accept.…
  • Try taking melatonin (1mg) an hour before bedtime. I've been doing it for a month and it is amazingly effective.
  • I have an under desk bike. It isn't a bu++ busting work out, but I am able to do it all day without sacrificing my work quality. I do between 30 minutes and 2 1/2 hours of pedalling a day (depending on meetings...). I've lost 6 pounds in 2 weeks and my energy level is much better. It falls under the better than nothing…
  • Did 100. will do 100 more in a hour. What a fun challenge!
