I've had four different surgeries and smoothies and soups are honestly the easiest on me

I was thinking of dropping carbs but I don't want to balloon when I add them back to my diet. I'll add some lemon water to my to do list. Thank you guys for some help

Thanks everyone for you input! Maybe I'll look at a few things before the big choice. I also have joint pain frequently so I'm glad to hear the elliptical is low impact.

I haven't really tried either. I want what ever one that would give my more of a work out as to help me lose my last twenty five pounds. For those who say elliptical do you have a program you follow on it?

I'm not concerned with the look of my scar, that doesn't bug me at all I earned thoses scars and I'm alive because of one of them. I'm just wondering if I'll get the muscle back in my stomach or if my stomach always gunna be fatty and soft.

Today I'm thankful for the clean water I drink.

I tried many times as well to lose weight. I've finally stuck with it because I really wanted to lose weight. I just want to I actually wanted to. I had reasons besides wanting other people to accept me, and when I final realized I needed to do it for me that's when it clicked.

That's awesome!! Keep up your hard work!! And always remember your worth it!!

Prednisone is alot of why I'm on this weight loss journey. I have been off for two years now though. My best advice would be to keep only healthy food in the house because I know and you know your hungry all of the time. Also alot of water, I drank water till I wasn't hungry anymore. It's just something to stop you from…

25 pounds for me :)

Awesome job!!

I've always been the "friend" people hung out with to make themselves look better. Now that I'm starting to look better those "friends" don't seem to come around anymore, imagine that. Now that I've lost a bit of weight, I've got comments that I'm getting to small, my goals are unrealistic, that I have small boobs now,…

Wow that's awesome!! Good job, keep up your hard work!

Thank you. I do carry all my weight in my stomach. I'm going to start lifting when I get back home in November. I hopfully ill see the inches go when I lose the rest of my weight.

Sorry for your loss. I hope your family heals well from your loss. I would say you should get back on the weightloss train. The workouts will help with your stress. Maybe if you start eating healthy again that could become a craving. I hope you well in your next pregnancy!

Sorry it's been crazy at my house. I'm currently 11 days post-op. I had a bowel resection. After my 6 week wait period. I plan to try Lakewood civic center with baby going to the daycare. I have to re build my stomach muscle where they cut through it. So it should be interesting. Also I got Jillian micheals shred it with…

I watch for the group :)

I just really truly don't want to back track. Ill ask the doctor too, I just normally don't have enough time or memery to ask the doctors all the questions I want. This is my four surgery but I was never trying to loss weight before. Plus I've always had complications so I've never been worried about asking. Upping my…

Found out I have pcos about two months ago. I'd been having problems since I was younger but they only put me on birth control to try and balance things out. I'm back on birth control as well as metiformin. I have an 11 month old that it took over a year of trying to have. I'm 21 and hubby 20. Feel free to add me. Ps…

I'll be the tall friend!! It would be a first for me! Start weight(pregnancy weight)- 220 Current weight- 168lbs Goal weight- 130-140 Height- 5'3 Awesomely married :) with one little man how will be one in July. :D

Awesome job!!

That would be me! ???? We aren't sure about when we will start trying but I need to be at my goal weight before we do. It was extremely difficult to get around with #1 since I was already over weight plus all the baby weight. I hope to start trying in the new year!

Hey ladies! I was diagnosed with it about three weeks ago and am on metiformin( I don't know if I slept it right). My period is still all out of sorts with being medicated and on birth control. I'm being tested for diebetes as well. It took us a year to get pregnant(so not too bad). Add me if you'd like.

Thank you for the replies. I do plan on starting the 30 day shred when my DVD gets here. Which should be Monday. Also I tried to walk everyday for at least 1 1/2 hours. I carry all my weight in my stomach and back. The widest part of my stomach is 42 inches and I'm only 5'3. Diet is hard for me ( I have crohns- lots of…

Don't reach for the snacks, grab Water! Drink a nice cold glass. And like others said quiet time. It's super important for everyone's sanity. I used it work at a daycare where I watched ten 3 year olds at a time. QUIET TIME :) haha

My hubby is supportive now- I'm much happier since I started working out. Before when I brought it up I kinda got the feeling like he didn't want me too. Kinda like he didn't want be to be confident in myself- when I was smaller I got hit on a lot- but I'm not doing it for anyone else just Me and my family.

Female 5'3 Cw- 172 Gw- 130-140( where ever is more comfortable)

I'd like to lose 30-40 more pounds. I carry most of my weight in my stomach.

Saskatoon,Sk. GO RIDERS!!!!!

Honestly I've always allowed food to choose my emotions. If I got hungry I got angry or even sad until I ate. I always felt hungry. People didn't want to be around me when I was hungry cause I was terrible and always hungry. I did a YouTube hypnotist video one night. And now I'm not hungry nearly as much. I'm not saying…
