It is a very low calorie diet. She is eating very low calories. It doesn't have to be a specific thing. She is not feeding her body. If that is what it took for her to lose weight, then she should get her thyroid checked...

I'd say the reason this worked is because you are on a VERY LOW CALORIE DIET. You aren't getting enough food at all....

Joining a gym tomorrow!

Thank you! I will try some of that stuff out!

I'm not so sure. I have bad stretch markes from gaining quickly. Looks like I have had several children and my stomach already sags quite a bit

I'd heard people say it tightens up the skin (which I wouldn't think is a water problem?) I

You probably just gain weight there more slowly. If wearing tight clothes prevented weight and fat gain, everyone would be wrapping their bodies in restrictive devices and eating whatever they wanted. Corset training works because it shifts your organs in your soft belly area. It doesn't prevent fat gain in the area. It…

I'm going to have to agree. I have the same issue and never wore pants like you did. It is just the way your body is and if you continue to gain weight it will only get worse

That is TOTALLY me....I hate it. Occasionally I will find pants that fit right but it is rare. I appreciate all the pics to this!! Gives me hope my belly will go down!

I have the same issue. Try to pair your carbs with protein and get more of your calories from protein than carbs. The key is to regulate your insulin levels. Eventually it will come off....it just stinks in the mean time because your clothes never fit right :(

I didn't feel any bad side effects either but I lost a bunch my first week (13 pounds) and then almost completely stalled. I, too, couldn't imagine eating more and it is especially hard when you are eating healthier foods. I went from 1200 calories to 2400 and I felt like I was stuffing myself all day long. I thought there…

Very well said.

Lap Band is probably the best option. Why? Because you don't spend the rest of your life eating supplements to keep your vitamins and minerals in healthy levels. No matter what you are going to have the make a lifestyle change. There have been many people who have had weight loss surgery and gain the weight back. It is not…

Everyone seems to assume that the less calories they eat the more they will lose. Your body doesn't do well with 1200 calories long term. I would suggest like many people here do that you find your TDEE and reduce by 20%. I've had much more steady weight loss with this than sticking around 1200 calories a day. It is hard…

I've kind of been eating light today...so I should be okay. I just get gung ho about things and I want it to be as close to accurate as possible.

yes.

Wow, that is totally awful. It should be about having your friends there with you on your special day rather than making sure everyone fits in a cookie cutter shape so pictures are just so. I was asked to be a bridesmaid and I decided on my own that I want to lose so I can look better....I was never asked. That is really…

I'm not endorsing it...lol. But heck...it's way better than someone who starves themselves for 30 days and calls it a "water fast." Atleast you get some nutrition.

Unless I had fettucinni alfredo or spaghetti there isn't much on this menu that is close to olive garden food and I really don't want that. They have a lot of pasta dishes with fresh veggies......they aren't cheese cheese cheese like olive garden lol

I'm just saying it wasn't meant to be a long term weight loss use...mainly just to dump your intestines and the thing I had seen was 1 day of drinking protein smoothies and then the rest of the week was 3 meals of a lean protein, veggie and carb....and it was only a 7 day thing.

When I heard of this it wasn't endorsed as a fat burning drink but more like a cleanse....

Lane Bryant for those in the states! I am a 42 H and they have great sales if you watch and you can get nice looking bras. THey also do smaller cup sizes and smaller band size. You can shop online as well. The bras last too.

Maybe try Visalus. I am not a seller or promoter I just know it tastes good.

In the past when I was 160 at 5'8 I was in a size 11 juniors! What is up with that?

You look really good!

I have not been checked for insulin resistance in a while. My blood sugar levels always stay normal and go back to normal in a short time after eating. I do fare better and have lost a lot of weight on a low carb low sugar diet before. It's just not stuff I have available right now but I will probably be pushing towards…

Yes, but I don't feel good when I eat it. Tired, sluggish. Fortunately, I inherited good genes. I can eat basically what I want and my levels do not change....but I put on weight. I also likely have PCOS which I don't consider a "condition" but it is exacerbated by chemically laden foods and I am hoping to move into a more…

I should also mention that my cholesterol (LDL, HDL and ratio) are all great and I do not have high BP.

Thank you, I think I am going to move down to light exercise and go around 2400 calories. Also going to try to work towards more protein rich foods and less carbs.

Thanks for telling me something I already know about my weight. I work in the medical field. I have no medical conditions. My most recent fasting glucose (last week) was 85. All my chemisty tests are clear. I only have a small excess of RBC's and iron. But thanks for the concern
