I got married. And looking at my wedding photos, I realized I hated everything about them. I was the heaviest I had ever been. While on the cruise for the honeymoon, my husband and I saw everyone happy in their swim trunks and bikinis and there we were all covered up. We decided it was time to get serious. Him and I wanted…

My petty reason is to be smaller than my mother. She's been a huge naysayer on my weight my whole life. She was constantly bashing my weight my whole life and always making comments on how much I eat, or what I'm eating, or how much I'm exercising. It took a major toll. At one point she was 3 sizes smaller than me and she…

Hi there! I have lost 80lbs so far. I have another 15-20lbs to go. I'm 5ft tall, and started my journey at 204lbs, waist size 37 inches, hips 48 inches. Now I'm at 125, waist size 28 inches and hips 37.5. Went from size 18 in jeans to size 6 (though I wore a pair of size 4 shorts the other day). Good luck to you on your…

@artlover47 Same,I never had much squash growing up. Only reason I know the trick is by searching online in healthy recipes. But yeah, spaghetti squash is worth the try. Good luck :)

Thank you both. I don't have any spaghetti squash,I used it all up....I might be able to pick some up on the way home, but it takes pretty long to cook...not sure I'm in the mood for cooking for two hours...

Also, for those who were losing hair, did you ask your doctor to lower your dose? At one point I actually had my NAILS peeling off (no it didnt hurt or anything) from it...my doctor had bumped my dosage up to about 250mg which was way way way too high....this drug has a lot of really WACKY side affects....honestly I do not…

I was prescribed topamax for seizures and I lost 20 lbs within about a 4 month period...i was also relatively active over this time. normally the weight comes right back if you stop taking it though, so you have to be careful about that...just started up on it again for migraines. lost 2 lbs in 3 days...

So here is what I can say from my extensive internet and personal experience research with Mirena. I found that more often than not, more women experienced weight gain, commonly between 20-30lbs, within a short time frame. Let it be stated that a good percentage did not experience any changes in their bodies…

I can relate. I am 5'0, and weighed 105lbs all throughout high school. I was put on Depo at 16. I started gaining weight from there. After graduation I was about 130. Still ok...I got the Mirena, and my weight skyrocketed. I mean, in a matter of months. I was working a restaurant job, where I was on my feet constantly..for…

Thank you for posting this. It was well thought out and put together. My doctor did say it tricks your body into thinking its pregnant. It explains why so many women feel the things they feel...the mood swings, cramping, craving, weight gain, depression/anxiety, etc...did you notice if you lost any weight after having it…

I can relate. After getting Mirena, I had very irregular periods. I also gained a good 30lbs. I noticed someone else on here stated that it had something to do with never having a baby vs. having a baby. I for one, have never had a child and, and still put on the weight. I think it just had soomething to do with how your…
