  • I lost weight on Topamax...however, I was prescribed them because of my seizure disorder. I was never hungry and lost 20 pounds. I looked great. Problem: I never ate because everytime I would eat or drink something it had what I called a copper flavor, like f I was sucking on a penny. It was awful. I had headaches everyday…

  • I am not on antidepressnts, it is seizure medication. But I have been on seizure meds since I was 18, so 14 years now. I switched to a newer medication that is better for you compared to the old med that had not so good side effects. I portion my food, drink 12-15 glasses of water a day, watch my calorie intake, am very…

  • I have my diary open to my friends (I have 5 college friends that we send support to via MFP and emails). I just dont open it to the public.

And I actually just got a pair on sale at Dillard's last Sat for $35!! I always get the boot-cut style. They just fit me awesomely. Good luck.

And lsmiii...you're comment about your looks randomly thrown in made me smile! Well I am out visiting my boyfriend in California and I want to go lay by the…

  • Hello beautiful tall ladies! I am visiting my boyfriend in Cali, so let's just say he is a man...no scale, no measuring tools! But before I left I was 207 and I am fairly big boned (my fingers just barely touch each other). I have no idea my measurements and am scared to find out (I have gained 60 pounds). I see such…

  • I have a decent pair of shoes now...but I will definitely get a great pair when I get paid this week! Monday is spin at the gym, so I will not be running anyway! Thanks for all the great advice so far guys! I feel amazing right now!

  • Someone asked me that last week in the grocery store...No lie, I looked her straight in the face and said "No, i'm just fat, but thanks!" and then I walked away! You should have seen her jaw drop! Hopefully she learned her lesson!

  • Thanks guys!! One of you said it was painful to sit down on the toilet, that is totally me! I am only using 5lb weights. I do not have lighter ones, maybe I will use a soup can and try again tomorrow! Haha!! I rested up today and look forward to trying again. If I can't bend and squat tomorrow, I am going to hit up the…
    in 30DS...ouch... Comment by rileydi May 2011
  • First, awesome on the weight loss!! I have dropped 1 pound in the last 3 weeks..so I am depressed. How did you lose 7?? You get past the cheeseburger and fries by being happy that you are 7 pounds down...what would you really rather have...the food or the weight loss?!

  • If I didn't live on the complete opposite side of the U.S I would totally work out with you!!

  • I would give anything to have the weight melt off!! I haven't lost eally anything, and it is depressing. I am terrible at running...and actually running for me is a really fast walk! I am ultimately aiming for 150..and would give anything to just have 10-15 melt off for right now and then go from there.

  • I am 5'11...and so glad you posted this for all us tall girls! I currently am 200, and miserable :frown: About 3 years ago I was 145, strong, healthy and loving it...the weight just crept on and I have no idea how I could let it. I would give anything to get back down to 150...but right now I am focused on 185, that is my…

  • I am not eating too little calories. And I have been eating healthy, nice healthy foods for breakfast and solid protein lunch and dinner...and I am definitely not over exercising. I work out hard, (I am actually loving working out again), but I am by no means over-doing it. I know losing 10 in 3 weeks isn't realistic, but…

  • Thanks everybody!! I actually joined a gym a couple weeks ago...but of course got bronchitis and pneuomia, so I was out for the count...then went away for spring break (teachers need that break too!!). I was thinking YOGA. I know it is great for you, and having an hour of quiet time sounds lovely! I am not sure I am…
