I would recommend another trip to the doctors but that sounds like what happens to me when my blood sugar drops. I don't have a thyroid problem or diabetes either but it is a distinct feeling like your body need sugar and NOW. Instead of giving it sugar I eat a sandwich or something with carbs. You should google blood…

It takes time for your brain to catch up with the incredible shrinking you ^_^ I know exactly how you feel but maybe trying to change your perspective on it. Instead see how far you've come instead of how far you have left to go. Give it time and your brain will catch up. You look great and congrats to you for making the…

This is just my opinion but you should log exactly what you're eating. The food log is there to provide you guidance throughout your day and also as a reference point so you can go back and decide what you need to tweak to continue your weight loss journey. If you quick add everything its not calculating anything besides…

I've been following a reduced carb diet. Eating around 100 then when i get to maintenance I'll eat around 150. I think that lower than 50 works for some during the weightloss phase but not so much for maintenance. Everyone does their own thing but I find that I am steadily losing at around 100. I also have had GB WLS so…

They dog them when they are fat and they hate on them when they are skinny. Give it a rest, seriously. They are paid to do a job, just like everyone else. They enjoy their bodies and health just like everyone else.

I've lost 23 pounds in about 45 days. I follow all the same things that you do, at least what you posted so far. I also try to limit my carbs to around a 100 a day. Carbs are the devil. Congrats to you on your success ^_^

I do it at home. Recently got Zumba cardio party which was alot of fun. I don't know if I'll ever be able to afford to go to the classes but maybe someday.

I used endomondo as it does many activities. It has gps and keeps track of all sorts of stuff.

"it tasted like the souls of ten thousand unborn panda bears" HaHa bump

The program is designed for 30 days. It is up to you on how you do it. I am currently on day 7 straight and I also do other exercises some days. You can take break days it's up to you. Use whatever weights you are comfortable with. I use 3 pound weights and have found them to be difficult for some exercises in the video…

I want that app! Good job!

It is hard at first. I am on day 7 today and I can tell you within the first 3 days I saw a vast improvement in my endurance and I took my measurements yesterday and have already lost an inch around my thighs and an inch around my waist. I definitely recommend 30ds. Just keep fighting through it even if you have to stop…

Don't over analyze this. I log every couple weeks as my weight fluctuates depending on time of day, what I've eaten, TOM for women, and what day. A couple pounds fluctuation is normal. If you see drastic 10 + or more than I would try to make adjustments in your diet regimen. Otherwise the point I'm trying to make is there…

Um that's a little extreme. There might be legitimate things that are bothering her. Try communicating before ending a relationship.

I had gastric bypass in Jan 04. Weighing in at 411lbs, i lost 197 lbs in the first year and 237 altogether. My lowest weight was 169 and over the course of the last 10 years crept back up to 240 lbs. CW is 223 but im finding it hard to lose again. I joined MFP and have been working diligently but have had to make huge…

there is information out there that would have you believing just about everything gives you cancer. you can't avoid everything because the information is always changing. I use soft spread regular butter. Earth Balance is good too but the calories are higher because its made with oil.

I do something similar. I buy a sports bra one size smaller and I have one of those workout shirts that have a built in bra that I wear over it. The regular bra thing would work...but i only and 3 regular bras so my way works well, keeps the girls pressed flat.

I agree. It's about your perspective and how you think on it. It doesn't have to be a negative, assume love here. They are your family and they want you to be happy. Just smile and tell them that you made a commitment to yourself and go about your day.

When I went from 411 to 169 it looked like someone popped a balloon that deflated from my face down to my feet. Sadly, for us women... the last place we lose is our stomach >_< However, stick with it, do lots of cardio and ab work and slowly but surely it will shrink and tighten. Your doing great!!!

Do not start smoking again. I agree with what everyone else said. Give yourself time. Stressing yourself out isn't going to help.

me too. NOMNOMNOM

I exercise when I'm bored. You could start a walking group in your area, I was thinking of doing this. Just put an ad up in the local grocer or post office with a time and place. You can meet new people who are also interested in exercise and fitness. You could learn how to meditate if you have a quiet house to yourself.…

3 lb weights right now.

That's awesome! I'm on Level 1 day 3 today and I am already noticing the endurance difference, along with all the aching muscles ^_^ Can't wait to see your before and after. Great job!

Well I'm only 2 days in but I think you should give it a go. I don't have a gym membership, I just do things at home like Zumba, and then outside things like biking, and walking/jogging, swimming when I can. I think you can get all you need from just doing different things at home unless your trying to body build. Good…

Day 2 lvl 1 and it was easier to do today. I still had to take several short breaks and i only slightly felt like i was going to vomit at the end. My body aches everywhere but I know that it is gonna firm me up and look forward to tomorrow. Gonna go for a bike ride today with my Honey cause he has a half day. ^_^ cheers…

It is very good. I prefer it mixed into recipes and smoothies. As a peanut butter fanatic, I eat it alone but its not the same as the real thing. If you try it just go into thinking that this is going to taste different. I think that people who say they don't like it went into it expecting it to taste the same as the real…

Okay I didn't even read all 9 pages of the responses to this and I imagine they are all gonna be varied and some probably very blunt. I myself am not a parent, as in i don't have an offspring that has flung from my ownself yet. However, I am a soon to be step mom and soon to be wife to 2 very picky eaters. My fiance is…

I'm only on the 2nd book, as I waited for awhile to start them at all. Favorite character is so hard to pick.... Dany and Tyrion are definately the top contenders. I also am a big Jon Snow fan as well.
