I agree with patwil73. I had physical and all labs done in March. My blood sugar was 103 at fasting, which is a little high but not something to stress over. My thyroid was elevated but not out of normal range. Dr's advise, "don't want to give you any meds right now, keep doing your diet and fitness, as it is working…

Think I hit a plateau last couple of weeks. Not so much of a loss. Not giving up, it'll happen, even if it's not as fast as I want it to be.

I want to do a Zip Line! In Hawaii, Cabo, Acapulco. Anywhere!!! I think that's what its called. When you wear a harness and zip from one tree to another. Can't do it if you are too heavy.

I can honestly not remember the last time I wore anything but a DD cup. I will jump for joy if and when I go down to a C cup. Hopefully my boobs won't jump with me then!!!! :bigsmile:

Think you meant to post "less than 150 calories each". If they were only 10 calories, I'd eat the whole mix in one sitting! :bigsmile: You sure the cake mix is not 180 calories per serving? I used the reduced sugar mix and a diet coke, made 12 cupcakes and the calories were 150 each. Even at 24 cupcakes, it would make them…

I started reading everyone else's post but I stopped, so I might be repeating something someone else already said, anyways this is my experience . . . I have been using Alli for a little over 1 month, just took last pill from bottle last night. I NEVER experienced ANY problems. I NEVER ate any more than the recommended fat…

AMAZING! Reading your post brought tears to my eyes, in hopes that I will one day be posting similar to you. You have determination and should be extremely proud of yourself!

How many calories did MFP calculate for you? If you were given 1200 and are eating below that, then you need to eat a MINIMUM of 1200, as close to it as possible but not too below. Good Luck. Would love to be friends so we can encourage each other! I too want to go to Billy Bobs!!!! 8-)

I would of never guessed that in the current picture you weigh 170. You don't look 170, much lighter than that. Great job and determination.

Don't give up. Stick to it. It WILL happen for you. Remember we didn't gain weight overnight, so we can't expect to loose it overnight either. Don't give up! :noway:

I have had it since April and did not notice any weight gain. I have been able to loose 23 since Jan, so weight loss is possible. Sides effects for me . . . . only cramping. Nice not having to worry about birth control for 5 years!

Wow that's AWESOME! I've lost 23 lbs and have not moved down a size yet!!! My clothes are fitting me more comfortably but still able to wear same size.

None of the pedometers work right, free ap ones, not sure about the paid ones. I downloaded a few and tried them, very disappointed with them. I ended up going to Academy and buying one for $19.99 and love the way it works and all the information it gives you. :flowerforyou:

Yes it def impacts me. I get very frustrated, but I don't think that it happens that fast? I don't believe that if you mess up one day, that you show a gain the next day. I see that it happens to me, but I think it is more than that. Not sure how or why, maybe water retention, stress, etc. ???? Don't give up, WE ALL have…

I can see a big difference. :flowerforyou: Beautiful Lady

I bought the risers for the board. They give you a better workout on the step, but the system does not pick up every step up. It is great for free step. Do not use the risers to do body tests (weight). I loved that I was like 25 lbs lighter! :happy: I'm sure this question has been answered in past posts but . . . . Would…

Hi Ellie, I've lost about 21 lbs since Jan 18th and no one has noticed either. People at work know that I am dieting and I've told them how much I've lost and they just say wow, that's great, but can't tell. My own husband of 23 years can't tell !!! I have noticed that my jeans fit me a little more comfortable and that…

No weight loss for me this week! No cheating, exercising, still nothing! Urgggggg

I just made the reduced sugar chocolate with diet coke in cupcakes. . . . . . not sure if I like them???? I did add some fat free cool whip to the last two bites and I liked them much better. They were however very moist. Think maybe I should try the yellow mix with sprite zero instead?

Congratulations on the 18 lbs, I know it takes a lot of work! Chasing after a 16 month toddler is exercise on it's own. :bigsmile: I'll have to try the Cadbury's, they sound good!

It will be hard I am sure but you can do it. You have more will than I do, not sure I could eat veggies for breakfast. Good Luck and keep us posted.

Hi and Welcome! It is awesome that so many of us are in the same situation. Maybe I shouldn't say awesome right? I guess unfortunate but awesome that we are all doing something about it now and helping with each others journey. I am glad to have the support also.

I know what you mean. I am like wow, I've lost 20 lbs! Then I stop and think, I still have over 100 to loose! URGGGG. We have to remember that we didn't put on the weight over night so we are not going to loose it over night either. Like you said, one day at a time. Congratulations on 30 lbs down, that is still a great…

So .......................... tonight I didn't feel like trying a new recipe................ guess what I ate?????? 3 yes 3 :bigsmile: , Mission Carb Smart Flour Tortilla tacos with egg beaters and Oscar Mayer Turkey Wiener mixed in....; All for 370 calories !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had a very small breakfast, 90 calorie…

Hi Kim! You are off to a good start, congratulations on the first 10.5 lbs off. I feel hungry often too, but i grab a granola bar 90-100 calories or some strawberries, cantaloupe, jello pudding, fudge bar (45 calories), to hold me off until the next meal. As far as exercise, my hubby bought me a Wii for Christmas with the…

Hi! You are supposed to eat a minimum of 1200 calories. I tend to stay under also, which from what I read is not good. "Your body needs at least 1200 calories per day so not to go into starvation mode." Lots of planning and smart choices is what I've learned. Keep in Touch!

That is the number MFP gave me, no customization here! :ohwell:

Hi and WELCOME. We are in this journey together. :flowerforyou:
