  • I have lost 6.6 lbs since starting MFP but actually that is not the FIRST of my weight loss. I started losing back in January of 2010 and I was 40 lbs heavier then I currently am. The first 10 lbs I could hardly see a difference. Like...if I didn't tell people I was trying to lose weight, people probably wouldn't have said…

  • Yeah I tend to experience similar symptoms as you. I suggest drinking a lot of water and taking it easy on the exercise. Don't over do it. Maybe just try a brisk walk outside to get some fresh air. No running on machines or anything at the gym. You're bound to feel overly-fatigued. Everyone experiences hormonal changes…

  • It never gets easy....at least for me anyway. Just easier. Some suggestions would be to drink, drink, drink. Did you consume enough liquid today? I bet you're dehydrated & don't even realize it. That was a big part of my problem is that I wasn't drinking enough water. Also, at 9:00 PM....are you tired? I mean I know it's…

  • I am not much of a liquids person but it's amazing once a person starts to try dieting how IMPORTANT liquids become to you. It's almost like drinking H20 is filling a void...that hungry feeling, it helps mask it. I've really hunkered down on consuming more liquids throughout my day. One way I've found this to be easier for…
    in "How do you drink so much water?"... Comment by CalPolyBronco April 2011
  • Just drink plenty of H20 and avoid salty foods as much as possible b/c that will only make you feel more bloated. Again, like everyone else said just remember that the feeling is only temporary and as much as it sucks keep foods handy that might satisfy these sweet or salty cravings you're going through. It can be a rough…
    in a question for the ladies... Comment by CalPolyBronco April 2011
  • Just remember why you had the lap band procedure in the 1st place. You did it b/c you genuinely wanted to lose weight. Think about all the procedures you had to go through leading up to the day you had it and all the Dr.'s visits you had to attend afterward. It's a long & lengthy process. Use that as motivation to keep…

  • I'm sorry to hear that. Sometimes what people have a hard time understanding is that, it's actually MUCH more difficult to cope with being heavy and the consequences that come w/it then it is to cope with the struggle to lose weight. I know many people that simply refuse to stick with weight loss. They are diabetic, have…
    in If only she had stuck with it... Comment by CalPolyBronco April 2011
  • You could name her the day of the week you get her. For example if you get her on a Tuesday, name her Tuesday. Bindi is a cute name and it sounds Australian since she is an Australian Shepard after all. I also like Libbi or Libby.

  • 100 calorie Kettle Corn, (if you feel like going out- frozen yogurt is delicious), Fat free Jell-O Pudding, and remember to drink plenty of water....sometimes when I think I'm hungry I'm really just dehydrated. Try adding flavoring to your water for a sweet kick!
