HAHAHA love it.

I feel the same way. It's been a while since I've been back and it seems like many of my friends are inactive as well. I would love to help you out!

25. Feel free to add me - friends are always helpful!

Congratulations! You can really see the progress! Keep up the good work!

I actually did exactly what you want to for my husband when he came back from his deployment. The "wow" factor really is incredible and the expression on his face was priceless! Although I know he loves me regardless of what I look like, it was amazing to see how proud of me he was when I toned up to surprise him.…

I've been feeling the same way lately too - today was the first day I worked out in over 4 months and it feels good. It's that first week that is always hard. I started with my diet first - went grocery shopping and redid my whole fridge and pantry last week. I slowly started eating healthy and finally had enough…

This site really can do wonders if you use it! Good luck on your journey and I'm glad you are taking the step to start transforming yourself!

I have always used Myofusion Chocolate - it literally tastes like a chocolate milk shake. 25g protein, 3 g fat, 5 g carbs - the ratio is AMAZING. It is a little heavy on the calories for a protein supplement (147) but for the taste and nutritional value, it is totally worth it.

I had never thought about tea - that actually is a great idea. I turn to sweets too - ice cream particularly. Exercise - it's so hard for me to not dwell and actually get out of bed sometimes. I know it's a behavioral modification - all of it to be honest, I think I'm just tired of yo-yoing from being healthy to completely…

Most multivitamins have the same basic ingredients. Unless you're planning on being preggers soon it doesn't really matter. Just make sure they are water soluble - that's the key with vitamins.

Sorry about the last post - just wanted to tell you that your doc should have told you that the Mirena is one of the worst contraceptive devices for PMDD. I'm sorry that you were not informed of that.

ahh awesome! you give me so much hope!

I have an IUD and am a medical student so here are the facts. Mirena gives you pulses of progesterone (the same hormone in the depo shot) so yes there is weight gain. HOWEVER, it is more localized and thus does not have a enormous weight gain associated with the depo shot. But because it is localized, most of the weight…

BUMP

BUMP!!

coldstone ice cream. yum.

eat foods rich in fiber - they are filling with good calories too. if you like fruits - apples are great and filling because of all the fiber in them. also try green veggies like broccoli or even cauliflower with dips. hope this helps!

Wow! Such an inspiration! Thank you for sharing!

Coffee is actually an appetite suppressant :)

My husband told me yesterday that my obsession with losing weight is taking a toll on him....because I don't cook amazing fatty meals anymore, lol

Good luck to you! Just take it one day at a time. Feel free to add me if you if you would like :)

Wow that is an awesome difference! Keep up the great work!

I'm with ya. Coldstone ice cream and chocolate cake for dinner....with no work out. But remember - TOMORROW IS A NEW DAY!!!

I work out around 7-8 PM every day and have steadily been losing weight so that is not true at all.

YogaX today for me - I love it and hate it at the same time!

now that sounds delicious! thanks!

My problem with eating a lot in the morning is that I go into work at 6 AM and it's really a struggle to wake up early to force myself to make breakfast a priority - I usually just eat a fiberone bar on the go. Then I am seeing patients all day with no time to actually snack until my usual 15 mins for lunch and then back…

thanks for all the suggestions everyone! I think I actually might look into protein shakes - I am just afraid they taste awful, haha. It would be good for me though because I don't take in nearly enough protein. Any suggestions on decent tasting protein shakes?

haha love it! if only they didn't go straight to my lovely love handles!
