  • Hey! Cindy here, I've lost 1 lb in 2 weeks. I feel that's not good enough. My doctors have switched me on and off about 6 meds for my health. The one I'm currently on causes weight gain. I've noticed my appetite has increased dramatically since starting it. Not good! Also, my ankles hurt so bad it's had to get on the…
  • congrats! keep going!
  • There are some really good info on carbs in other threads. It works for most people if you want results quick but they say it's really a reduction in calories when u carb cycle so beware of gaining weight back if u choose to get back on carbs after u lose the weight.

  • My name is Cindy. I'm 35 and in a year I gained over 100 lbs from being on a new med and poor choices. I've lost 25 since April; got a mere 100 till goal. This weekend I had a sweet, which is not normally me but I figured up the cals and journaled it. But here's the great news: I couldn't finish the serving size. I put it…
  • So proud of you! Keep it up! I'm on the weight loss journey as well. Just noticed I need to buy new pants/shorts. They are hanging on my hips. Just slide right off. The scale wasn't showing much progress but when your only pants slip off, that's what I can see my progress.

My husband told me he wanted to get a divorce because I wasn't taking care of myself in any kind of way. I said that's enough. I'm tired of being fat and unhappy. I'm still losing weight every week. My clothes are looser, my…
  • I try to aim for no more than 4 cups b/c of the caff. I take it black, no cream & no cream- ever. I do get those carb cravings sometimes but not really "sweets" so I say, for me anyway, it curbs cravings for me.
  • I gained close to 100 pounds last year because of lithium. I couldn't get full ever. I would throw up because of everything I was shoving in. Finally the doctor pulled me off of it. But I had 9 months and 100 lbs on me. I know getting the right mix of meds is critical. Lord knows I've been through plenty. I've just started…
  • I ordered Almased. It's a drink mix. There are ads in tons of magazines for it. I lost 40# using it 3 yrs ago. You can replace up to 3 meals a day on it for the first week. Then start eating a healthy well balanced dinner instead of the shake for dinner. I am back on it and the first week I lost 6# with only replacing 1…
