Is there anything over the counter that works. Just short term, not looking for anything long term. Thought it might help me with getting started.

UPDATE: It's now been over a year since I started my weight loss journey and 6 months since I met my 60 lb weight loss goal. I'm still maintaining and I feel so WONDERFUL! For those who think you can't maintain after losing quickly, I am PROOF that this is not the case. I now eat about 1650 calories a day, exercise EVERY.…

I already use a kitchen scale and measuring cups, spoons, etc to make sure that I don't overestimate food amounts. I'll try the idea of lowering my carbs, as I currently eat about 50% of my calories each day from carbs. Think I'll try to get in more protein instead of all of my delicious carbs and see if that helps. I'll…

Almost every day I have a protein bar and a Diet Coke for breakfast on my drive to work. I also usually eat nuts at some point in the day. And of course, I have my IdealShake and 2 slices of toast with peanut butter just about every night for supper. Eating a lot of the same foods everyday helps keep me on track. Other…

I wonder if the rush of sugar to your system is causing it? I drank juice 2 mornings this week and on those 2 days I was much hungrier. And guess what? It was CRANBERRY/grape juice!

I used to ONLY drink Cokes (that's soda or pop for all of you non-southerners - LOL). I would only drink maybe 1/2 glass of water a day!! I used to HATE the taste of water. It took me almost 2 weeks on my diet before I even liked drinking water. I was drinking 4 - 5 NON-diet Cokes or Pepsis every day!!!!! Now I don't keep…

Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card, 11/22/63 by Stephen King, Timeline by Michael Crichton We read 11/22/63 in my book club this past summer. Great discussion! We're going to be reading Ender's Game soon, though I've read it many times. I love to have book discussions to hear other people's take on the same book. Oh, and The…

You are such an inspiration. Congratulations to you on your weight loss. For those who think you can't lose weight on 1200 calories - you, sir are proof that they are wrong. Are you currently at goal?

I sent you a friend request. Your posts are great! I'm 5'2" and am down 7 pounds (just starting) from 190 to 183. Run? Oh gawd, no! I've just started walking. Maybe I'll get there...one day. Here are the things I'm sick of with being obese: 1. Back fat 2. Jiggly thighs that touch when walking - ewww! 3. Having to put my…

Thanks, Hopeinmn! I've sent you a friend request. I lost weight with WW before the points system, but when I was a WW leader, I taught that program. I don't like that there are "free" foods, because they of course have calories and with WW, they go uncounted!! I'm aiming for 1200-1500 calories a day. I've been able to cut…
