  • Some like Orlistat (Xenical, Alli) are lipase inhibitors. Some people call them fat blockers, but they don't actually "block" fat, it just keeps it from breaking down into smaller parts so that it can't be abosorbed by your GI tract. Others are diuretics (lose water weight, risk dehydration) and others are stimulants…

  • Mint can definitely trigger reflux. On the other side, though, it can help calm IBS. A lot of veggies can trigger but if you skin them it tends to minimize the reflux.

  • Good for you for talking common sense! I wholeheartedly agree. Will we get frustrated when we don't lose as much as we hoped in a month? Yes. Will we stay healthy and keep the weight off by using balance/variety/moderation. Absolutely. P.S. Oatmeal water? Gross.

  • Girl, I just joined today too, you can add me. I feel like I'm reading my own story when I read yours! I've never lost weight in my life. I only know gain, gain, gain. It's not going to be the easiest thing and it's not going to happen overnight but we will get there. Overall I want to lose at least 100 lbs but I didn't…
