  • From an RN perspective...weigh in the morning, after void, naked. this is your weight before you add meals and exercise, which bulk up your stomach (food) and muscles (exercise/movement) Weight gain overnight of 2 pounds or greater than 5 pounds in a week is most likely fluid and not fat. your body won't make fat overnight…
  • Happy Birthday and congratulations on a successful journey!
  • I have several friends who have had GBS, the band or the sleeve. one GBS is doing well, lost the weight and is keeping it off so far, the other GBS has a number of issues with nutrition and was in ICU for 4 weeks about three months out. He is now doing better, but looks unhealthy to me. Three other friends have had the…
  • WTG!!! This is a great site and lots of folks to help keep you motivated too. Good luck and enjoy the cruise next year!!!
  • I did WW 4 times over the years. I always got to 30-35 pounds and stopped. I was always eating points that were points but didn't go with the category. I'd get frustrated, stop and gain back 45. This site has been the best thing that has happened to me in a long time. It's easy to log in and if you have the chocolate cake…
  • you can do this. I set my final goal as the "biggie" and each month set a small goal (10 pounds at a time) and post a six week graph on my shower wall where I weigh. the bottom left is the starting weight, the upper top right is the "goal" weight for the end of six weeks. I have one more grid higher than 10 so I call that…
  • Looks like you need to reverse your carbs and proteins. Try keeping carbs to 20 per meal, and particularly sugar to 10 grams per meal, and increase your proteins to 30 per meal.
  • come on in! I love this place. I log in daily too, and I will be sixty in six months so it is really great for everyone. Feel free to add me if you like. Nancy
  • on my way to Zumba for another butt kicking, but I feel really great when I get done. I feel like I am accomplishing something that I have not been able to accomplish since an injury put me out of Tai Kwon Do. Had my red belt and two more contests and I would have had my black belt. The school I went to has since closed,…
  • My husband is no support. He has CHF and gains water weight, which can come off if he cuts back on salt. He has been sick for a while, but about six weeks ago he had to add another fluid pill to keep from going into failure again. He lost 8 pounds that week and made the comment that he had lost more weight than I did and…
  • Hi, Sorry I didn't get this in last night. It was late when I got home. But here is the total for the month> 9.2 pounds and lots of inches. Changed clothes sizes from 3X to XL (22-18) and going to Zumba tonight. Go TEAM!
  • I am taking my children and grandchildren on a cruise when I reach 75 pounds and when I reach my full goal on 140 I am going back to Hawaii for a week. Don't know if I'll take anyone or just me, but I will go back and buy a new outfit. I have two from my trip there with my husband in 1990 and they are size 16's so I wasn't…
  • great work. you can do it. it becomes a habit after you do it for a while.
  • I was gone this weekend as well, but did a lot of walking (DisneyWorld and Sea World) so I lost 3.6 pounds over the weekend. I had been riding a stationary bike and gotten up to 20 minutes. Now I can walk 2 miles in about 30 minutes. Joined the gym so i can have access to weight training for toning. Kept my calories at or…
  • I started a month ago today. I have lost 17 pounds but need to lose 100 more. I have watched my husband become almost an invalid by getting out of shape. (not from weight, but just inactivity) and decided I was not going down that road. I had decided to have the sleeve surgery when I was introduced to this app by the…
  • I have tried at least 10 diets since my husband and I were married 28 years ago. I finally realized my not being successful was due to stress and his sabataging the process. Lose 15 pounds "You're doing good, looking good" and then go to a restaurant and order the least caloric meal on the menu and it's "Really, that's on…
