Each medication has its own set of side effects. I've been on a few and had different experiences with each. Wellbutrin is said to not cause weight gain, however while taking it I experienced the side effect of being highly irritable, like screaming at family, friends and strangers for no apparent reason. Mirtazapine…

Your post is very inspiring. I have the same addiction to mountain dew that you once had, and at 290 calories a bottle it is definitely a habit I need to kick 100%. I also agree that diet moutain dew is disgusting, and I can't wait to get to the point where I find regular mountain dew disgusting as well.

I guess these things "work" by expanding in your stomach to make you feel full. I think you could achieve the same result by drinking water, and it will save you $$ from buying the full bars. I tried full bars a few years back, they were so disgusting that it would take me too long to eat one and it would negate the effect…

I'm excited to try this, and to be held accountable for once. SW: 183 CW: 182 GW: 175

My favorite crockpot chicken recipe, that I make at least once a week and gets me two nights of dinner with leftovers, is chicken with salsa, green chiles (optional), black beans (optional), whatever else I decide to throw in. The best part is that you can use frozen chicken! Put chicken breasts, 2 breasts will feed myself…

I also have a sedentary desk job. I was just looking for ideas of how to stay within 1200 calories since I struggle to do so.

Those are incredible results! What kind of meals were you eating that you could fit into 1200 calories/day?

My desk job is where my fatness began...then my love for pizza, double red bull and vodkas, and cheese fries.

I used to not want to run outside because I thought it would be more difficult, but I seem to get a better workout by running outside. I wear my Polar HRM while running and I seem to burn about 30 calories more outside than I do inside for the same workouts. It may not sound like much, but I'd rather burn more calories if…

I would like to participate! I just dusted off this DVD on Sunday...so today would be L1D3. I never made it past 10 days...I started to see results, and then just stopped for some reason.

Also, using Manwich with ground turkey doesn't taste as bad as it might sound.

Taco chicken with rice, salsa and greek yogurt: This recipe is for 1 serving 1/2 cup dry white instance rice - 160 cal, 0g fat 2 oz Chobani fat free plain yogurt - 33 cal, 0g fat 2 tbsp Tostitos salsa - 10 cal, 0g fat 6 oz boneless skinless chicken breast (trimmed of fat) - 180 cal, 2g fat 4 tsp Taco Bell Home Originals…

That's when you kindly remind the cashier that she is upset because her job is being outsourced to a machine.

Yes! My scale told me I gained 7 lbs in 2 days... To check the calibration of a digital scale, I put one of my 20 lb weights on it to see what the scale is actually reading.

My alternative to bacon is the pre-cooked bacon...only 30 seconds in the microwave to yummy goodness.

Do you like tuna? I like to eat chunk light tuna in water with light miracle whip. 1 can of chicken of the sea chunk light is 150 cal, and 2 tbsp of light miracle whip is 40 cal.

I just got Zumba 2 for Wii, but haven't tried it out yet. I did try EA Active 1, and I hated it. I would get all into the workout, then it would stop sensing my movements and I would get so frustrated. For instance, half way through a set of bicep curls, it would tell me that I wasn't curling anymore even though I was and…

Please please please get an HRM with chest strap! I got the Polar FT4 (the cheapest model that tracks calories burned) and I found the calories burned on the elliptical were overstated. For 30 minutes on the elliptical (in which I enter my age and weight) it read 315 calories. My HRM read 254! I did find that my calories…

I was reading this post yesterday and was considering whether or not to go get the gait analysis done for running shoes...then voila! this morning there is a living social deal for a $50 voucher to the New Balance running store! So if anyone in the South East Pennsylvania area are considering buying running shoes, you can…

Feel free to add me! I'm 27 looking to lose 50...ideally 60. I lost 7 lbs in January and pretty much gained it all back so I'm in need of some support.

Lol! I agree, I actually like my MFP friends better than my FB friends. I don't feel like I'm being judged on this site.

I know someone who this happened to. She was overweight for about 6 years before she finally dropped about 150lbs in a one year span at age 27. She had excess skin around her arms, stomach and thighs. She did absolutely no cardio or strength training. She lost all the weight by eating only salads and fruits. Judging by her…

Oh yeah, I low carbed it too for about two weeks, lost 4 lbs and then I ate some pasta and gained it back plus some. My boyfriend and I are trying to lose weight together, he lost 4 lbs in the first week...I lost 1. So he rubs it in my face that he is losing more weight by eating low fat than I am by eating low calorie and…

I'm 5'2 an around 172 lbs. My ideal weight would be 125-130. At this point I would be thrilled to be 150!

Just because they are a doctor doesn't mean they know everything about health and nutrition. Last year my tax accountant told me I would owe taxes this year, I actually got a hefty refund. He didn't tell me what I wanted to hear, and he was actually wrong. Two years ago when I had a cold and could not afford to take sick…

My skin felt smooth pretty much right away, it took about 3 weeks to see a difference. I don't use it all the time, but if I know I'm going to be going to the beach or swimming, then I will start using it a month in advance.
