  • My doctor is ADAMANT that the newer brands of birth control, the last made in the last 15 years, do NOT cause weight gain. I am also on Seasonique and while I'm not losing weight at lightening speeds, I am healthy, plus I also have to factor in that I'm older than I was when I lost weight before and our natural hormones as…
  • I did Weight Watchers after my first baby and lost 40 pounds in about 5 months; I took Phentermine after my second baby and lost that amount PLUS MORE in less than 3 months. Guess which one I kept off longer -- the Weight Watchers weight because I had worked for it and had changed my lifestyle. I'm not back on here to lose…
  • I just had a flare up last week and through the weekend. It hurt so bad I couldn't hardly sit at church Sunday. Going to my chiropractor REALLY helps alleviate the pain - I went yesterday and today I feel 1000% better. He also gives me some stretches that I saw people had mentioned, like the cat stretch, but also a couple…
  • When I did WW several years ago, very succesfully, on the days I had two glasses of milk and counted that, I lost more weight. I'm also a fan of protein shakes.
  • Vitatop muffins - I can buy some flavors at my local grocery store but you can order online. Yummy & only 100 calories.
  • I know that when I did Weight Watchers several years ago and had GREAT success losing 40+ pounds, with the points, you had extras that you could use daily or save up for a 'treat' during the week. I agree with Starnes - when you're contemplating it, look at where you are for the week. GOOD LUCK!
  • All I can say is JUST DON'T DELETE ME! :laugh:
  • Yoplait light yogurt (100 calories), my morning coffee, and then some fruit to eat as I get hungry before lunch have helped me. I also keep some boiled eggs handy because those are full of protein and help ward off hunger. Also, my sister informed me of some Vitatop muffins (they're in the freezer section of our grocery…
  • My dad was a faithful user of this stuff until he finally had to have his knees replaced. He said it REALLY made the pain better. Also, something like a flax seed or fish oil might be good to also help lube the joints! GOOD LUCK!
  • Sarah Lee Delightful bread is a great choice - 2 slices are only 45 calories. I LOVE IT with an egg for a weekend 'treat'.
  • Get you a 3 or 5lb weight. Lean over something (like your ottomon or kitchen chair) and pull your arm up close to your torso - almost like your cutting wood, if that makes sense. It will REALLY tone the flabby part of your arm and also strenghten the muscles in you chest area. The butterfly exercise with the same weights…
  • Pita, I used the old program several years ago and LOVED it! My s-i-law used it last year to lose over 80 pounds. She switched to PointsPlus before Christmas and has gained back around 10 pounds following it. She just told me Monday that she thought she was switching back, even though her points app on her iPhone wouldn't…
  • Hey girls! I'm a mom to two little boys, 5 & 3, and married to a coach who's schedule makes me a part-time single mom. I would love to connect with any of you so that we can support each other! Have a GREAT and losing :) day! j.
