Thanks for all the replies. I started again at the end of January (28th I think) at around 245. About April 17th I got down to 216. I got on the scale 2 days ago and had lost .6 lbs. I haven't been exercising as much the last 2 weeks because of standardized testing and tutoring after school (I'm a teacher). I've been…

I would also get checked for vitamin deficiency. I was the same way, was exhausted every day after work, and could barely get myself out of bed on time to go to work to begin with. I would sit down on the couch and fall asleep before 7:30. I was deficient in vitamin D. I feel a LOT better since I began taking the high…

I have been taking Zoloft since October. I did gain a lot of weight (18lbs, up to 218) BUT I don't think it was because of the Zoloft. I began getting really tired and slept all the time. It turns out I was deficient in Vitamin D, which I just found out about last Thursday. I decided around Jan 3 that I needed to jump back…

I LOVE the Original Vegan Boca Burgers. They're only 70 calories and can be microwaved. I like to take them for lunch because it's simple and easy.

I have this problem too. lol, I try to get 6 cups in at work, and 6 at night. I do extra because I'm still drinking a can of diet soda a day, and always heard that you should drink an extra cup of water for every cup of soda you drink. I hope the bathroom thing slows down too bc I'm a teacher without an aid anywhere near…

LOL, I thought I was the only one who felt like this. I love the part where she says, "If you feel like you're going to die,...." I always end with, "You probably will." Only because by the time she says that, I literally feel like I'm going to die and I'm tired of her telling me what to do. I actually never made it 30…

I think that when we look into the mirror we see what we perceive we are, not what we really are. When I was in HS, I got down to 160 or so lbs. I still thought I looked really overweight. Now, when I look back at pictures I think, "wow, I didn't look too bad there." I realize I was still over weight, but I looked a lot…

I totally know how you feel! I'm the same weight as you and only 2 inches taller :). Last summer I started running and got up to 2.5 miles every day (I just started again, was really lazy during the winter). I wouldn't worry about exercising in public too much. I used to, but then I realized, I might be 195 lbs, but at…

I have started taking a 100 cal sandwich thin, half slice of 2% cheese, Boca original vegan (mainly bc it's less cals but you could try others). Pop it in the microwave and it's good to go. I always microwave the Boca burger first then throw in the sandwich thin. Takes maybe 2 minutes.Then take along a piece of…

I agree with yogurt, fruit, and nuts. I eat at least 3 pieces of fruit a day and one serving of yogurt. I usually get the Yoplait yogurt that are based on desserts. May not be the healthiest yogurt, but it's keeping me on track. At least it has for the last 3 weeks. Before I was putting a tablespoon of Nutella and 4 or 5…

I wouldn't worry about it too much. I have that problem just going to Old Navy. A while back I bought a pair of 18s (of course didn't try them on), they were HUGE on me. Went back and traded for 16s...and I barely could fit my behind into them (If I bent over, they would have busted :) ) I agree that it totally depends on…

Did you take 'before' pictures? I did this once, just because I felt like it. lol, Then every few weeks I would take another 'after' picture to see if there was any change. It's hard to see change in your own body because it's gradual. It was much easier to see the change when you have two pictures sitting side by side.…

I just started this today myself. I went ahead and bought the $2.99 Iphone app for my Ipod because I thought it would be a pain trying to keep the time without it. The app has you do the 5 minutes separate from the 20 minute intervals. So in total you're really doing 30 minutes. I'm going to guess that's right.
