I think 2lbs is a good number that is 8 lbs a month.

You look so good what a difference in your face. Keep up the great work.

welcome back.. goodluck on your journey...:smile:

Try munching on some carrot sticks and celery. It gives you that munching feeling and also can fill you up. Try other fibery things like apples . The fiber can help fill you up.

Sounds Delicious. I will have to try it.

Loosing weight can cause hair loss you might be deficent in a vitamin. I would see your Primary care doctor and have some blood work done to see if any vitamins in your body are deficient. Vitamin B12 is one that is common in people loosing weight.

I switched to chobani quite some time ago. I like it because it is organic and in the six ounce container it is 140 calories and has 14 grams of protein. Protein helps you to burn fat. I love the pineapple it is so good. I hope I was helpful.

This is a hard time your going through right now. I often find journaling helps. Try to find someone who you know will listen to you. Keep in mind at all times how far you have come in your weight loss journey. Remember how special you are. Don't let your depression take over you try to stay in control at all times.:smile:

You need to remember to see what you are burning for calories. When you excercise you need to refuel your body. You have your regular calories and then your net calories so be sure to watch that closely. If your net calories aren't at least 1200 at the minimum your putting your body into starvation mode and your body will…

Hi there any form of alcohol even wine is empty calories. Calories with no nutritional value to them. So what you are doing is great and my advice is you keep uo the good work. :smile:

Yes I have fibromyalgia and I would love to be your Moms friend. It is challenging to loose weight with it however I find that the excercise helps me to move more freely and not have so much pain.. I have three young kids to tend to and one who is handicapped so I figured I better do something to keep me moving.... Good…

Sweetie you need to have a nice long talk with your self . look in the mirror and take a good long look at where you are now and where you were. The last few pounds are always the hardest. Change your routine a bit to shock your body. Up the excercise abit... Take a look at your diet and see what you can do to improve…
