You can add me. I've been logging every day and I try to like and comment on my friends posts daily to give encouragement. If you'll do the same, I can use all the help I can get!

What a difference!

I just started taking Qsymia on Saturday. So far, so good. Did you have any questions about it?

There's a support group on FB.

We use ground venison just like you would use ground beef or turkey in dishes like chili, meatloaf, spaghetti sauce, tacos, etc. One of my favorites is to take pieces of tenderized round steak, sear them a bit in a pan, put them in a baking dish and cover with cream of mushroom soup, onions and green peppers. Bake for…

This might be a totally random reply but any chance you have endometriosis? I do and one thing I deal with a week or two a month is a really sore left hip.

I add honey and fresh fruit.

Awesome! I can't wait until I can shop in a store other than LB!

Feel feel to friend me. I'm at 220 right now. I started off losing weight pretty quickly but I've slowed down, in fact gained, the past few weeks. I'm doing what I can though by exercising every day during the work week and eating clean at least 80% of the time. Slowly but surely I will get there. I log in daily and…

I might also caution you against buying a 2 piece. 2 pieces are kind of tricky. You need to make sure you get the top that has lining throughout the waist area, otherwise when you get in the water it will float up. Not a big fan of 2 pieces especially if you are looking for a bit of tummy control.

I live in Nebraska too and I think this time of year you are going to have a hard time finding swimwear still in stores that you can try on. I would look at Catherine's or Avenue's online stores. They might be a little higher than what you want to spend but the Catherine's suits are especially flattering. Good luck!

Wow, you look amazing!

Maybe it's just too much for your fitness level at this point. I started out doing T25 and then had a medical set back so I walked for a couple weeks instead. The walking really helped build up my major muscles and gave me more endurance. When I went back to T25 then it wasn't so intimidating. So maybe back off of it for a…

Maybe just buy a few new pieces to spruce up your wardrobe. If you work in an office maybe buy two nice fitting pairs of slacks (one black, one gray or navy) and 4 or 5 new tops. Or buy a really great fitting pair of jeans. If you're like me, I'm not a big shopper either and I'm ok with wearing the same outfits over and…

My husband works around heavy machinery and we've personally known men who got their ring caught in equipment and ripped their finger off. So he had our wedding date tattooed on his ring finger. In the future, he might embellish it with my name or our kids' names.

There's not much you can do to help him. You can explain to him how his drinking is affecting your family but it's up to him to take action to change. My husband has also struggled with alcoholism. The past few months he's been doing very well and he feels so much better and has even lost about 30 lbs. He went to a…

I'm 5'4 and currently weigh 222 as well. I buy jeans in 18-20.

Every evening I pack my lunch and snacks for the next day of work. I include a morning and afternoon snack and lunch. I drink Shakeology for breakfast along with my coffee. Then my evening meal is generally a piece of lean meat that I have prepared over the weekend, paired with a salad, veggie, mashed cauliflower, brown…
