AMEN SISTER!!! Never let anyone else define who you are!!! You Go Girl!

I love how your doctor stayed on top of things and drew blood work every 60 days to make sure you stayed in healthy ranges! Wonderful transformation!
-
Sorry! I thought I quoted you right and didn't. I asked about the "numbers" from doctors blood tests etc because after I lost 50 pounds in 3 months after being stagnant for 2 years, my immune system went all wonky and I started having dizzy spells, turns out my immune system started killing off my blood platelets and they…

Will you be showing successful before and after pictures of your "meat bags for legs" as you called them, or perhaps pictures along the way as you transform? Were there any exercises you could have done along the way to avoid that happening or did you check into it when you saw it happening? I'm also curious how you felt…

The problem I see with SF is the people posting about taking this instead of exercising or eating a healthy diet. They're looking for the "magic pill" and doling out the dollars to get it. Lifestyle changes are what's needed. Eating right and getting some type of exercise.

Actually 15 lbs in 3 months is just over 1 lb per week, and most people say losing 1 - 2 lbs per week is the healthy way to do it so it stays off and you build muscle as you lose fat. I hear you wanting faster results for all your hard work but I also hear you being too hard on yourself. You are making progress, and you…

Bottom line, some people will tell you they love it and others will be against it. What it comes down to is paying an enormous price for something you could buy cheaper, either by getting fiber from actual food or trying Metamucil or similar products instead. SF is $180.00 for three bottles, plus get three free from buying…

Who can live without coffee? I drink it as much as I like, when you drink it black you don't have to worry about all those extra calories.... not from the coffee but from what you add to it.

My cousin just loaded me up with ReLiv shakes and straight LunaRich. For the shakes I have Lunarich, Innergize Orange and ReversAge. She also gave me a little bottle of 24K. I'm hoping it can be as successful for me as it was for her, I promised to at least give her 30 days to see how my numbers change.

I think I love you LOL!

I know!!! I don't go much any more but I do know that if I plan on doing chinese buffet, I don't eat all day before I go because I KNOW WHAT I'M GOING TO DO to that General Tsao! Ooooohhh and stuffed mushrooms.... and fried rangoon! Yummy!!! LOL...
-
I read both of your new posts and it all makes sense now and you did the exact perfect thing in talking to him when and where you did! LOL! I can see it! I only laugh because I know exactly what it's like and it isn't what I first thought when I read the beginning of your thread here. Bi-polar is not something to be…

I really need to get one of those flashy things!
-
I probably shouldn't answer this one because I don't decide based on nutrition as much as flavor. Even during my "on" time when I lost the majority of my weight I did this. It's more about getting quality with small quantity to me. I found you can eat anything you like as long as you control your portions. Balancing it…

Ok spinach in the form of spinach leaves for salad is yummy, but the wet soppy kind? Ewwwww lol... I just can't and I have tried many times. I wonder if the dry form is better or worse? I also like it in a quiche. Special dark cocoa, may be an idea but I just broke that old habit of my homemade iced coffee with crushed ice…
-
Did your counselor recommend that because he's bipolar or something? I just realized how similar it sounded, my brother is bipolar and has snapping points we avoid and then he's all good. If it's not because of a condition like this.... I have no idea why she would recommend that unless she was giving pointers to both of…

I realize there are always reasons women have for staying with men they shouldn't stand by so I hope (even though I think you would be better off without him) that you will still keep coming back here for the moral support you are lacking at home even if you feel awkward after being so honest about how he treats you to…

After losing 50 pounds in a short 3 months (I had no appetite at all for over 2 years) I started taking the depo shot and suddenly I had an appetite and gained 7 pounds in just the first week. I was also wondering if I just got myself on a strict regime and stuck to it, if I could overcome the shot. I am so glad someone…

How about soaking in a hot tub or going for a swim in a pool if you have one or live near a community pool etc. Slow stretches help smooth out sore muscles as well.
-
I know exactly how you feel! We take turns cooking here which has made a great difference since my brother has been living with us and currently weighs about 350 pounds but still wants the potatoes fried and sees nothing wrong with eating the double size package of 3 musketeers in between meals. Oh, and a box came in the…

I was so happy with myself when I lost 50 pounds over 3 months by cutting out soda and adding water and started bike riding daily, it was wonderful! Then I had my first depo provera shot and gained 7 pounds back in one week from suddenly having an appetite when I had none at all for the previous 2 years. I'm also…

I think it becomes blurred when you take something just because it's the newest faze or fad, or the naturist behind the counter wants to make a bigger sale so she decides to be "helpful" more than asked. LOL... Personally I'm a big believer in supplements because we can't always eat only the best foods for our body and the…
-
I have to agree, to each their own. People have all different reasons for not eating meat. Personally I love meat but I have a hard time eating anything too heavy like roasts or steaks or anything like that, can't digest it well so I stay away and tend to eat alot of fish and chicken instead. But I can sure enjoy a thick…

How awful is it that I'm laughing right now? LOL!!! Now I realize how bad it is to do that, but it sure was a blast then! Ok, note to self... bad bad bad lol...
-
Sounds like a CiCi's Pizza day LOL... I remember having fun contests with my boys to count how many we would have all for 5 bucks. Good thing we only did it like once or twice a year, fun but still not good.

My worst habit of all is when I take the cracker tubes and jar of Jif creamy peanut butter to my room and snack on it while I work on my computer. In my mind I'm thinking I hardly ate anything all day, just some crackers and peanut butter. But when you add up all the calories, I shudder to think how many it was!
-
Thanks! I really appreciate all the advice, especially like the idea of centering each meal around what I need at different times so they work better. I'll start taking the calcium at night instead of the morning, that should make a big difference! I love all these ideas and am so glad I asked!
-
Thanks for all the great ideas! I'll add these to my diet next grocery trip, some i have in the cabinet. I have very low iron and need to get my numbers up. Only thing, calcium inhibits absorption of iron? Because of the depo provera shot I take extra calcium to make sure I don't get osteoporosis like my mother has, it's a…

How much water do you drink daily? I learned awhile back that drinking tea and coffee is not the same as water and we need water every day at least 8 cups or more per day. When I don't drink it, I feel worse.

You're doing a great job and you look awesome! I hate to repeat it, but seriously, if your boyfriend doesn't love you the same no matter what weight you are, it hurts the chances of a long term relationship because life happens, we all grow older and can't stay looking 21 forever. He should love you for you. But I have a…
