Dr. Furhman's women's multivitamins- general health Fish oil- brain health, anti-inflammatory Magnesium citrate- anxiety and bowel regularity Vitamin d3 7,000 IU- lots of benefits

Being able to get my scrub top off over my breasts without too much jumping and tugging! Ha!

I work as a nurse at a hospital...there is always free cake or doughnuts or candy or cookies or something! It is tough. I usually don't partake (anymore) but the other day I did let myself have one bite of cake. Probably won't do that again...seemed like it led to a whole weekend of letting myself give in. I do let myself…

What exercise(s) do you do? I struggle with emotional issues and so far have had some success with diet and vitamins but I need to add in more exercise for sure.

The shakes/smoothies should taste good initially but for the ones that are a little out of your comfort zone, your taste buds will adapt and you will actually start craving the taste. That is what happened to me with green juice.

True Vitality Vanilla Plant Protein- get it on Amazon

Sounds like it. A woman in one of my classes (I'm also in NP school) lives on St. John. I actually got on the net looking at jobs at their hospital! I think living in a warmer/sunnier climate would help me. I always get SAD in the winter.

I'm having great results on my mood with fish oil (I use Innovix Labs Triple Strength, no fishy aftertaste). ETA: Oh, I'm a nurse too! Do you work nights or days?

No main one but some are "a year from now you will wish you did" and "when you feel like giving up remember why you started."

I'm a nurse. I celebrate one year July 15. I gained little weight in school but gained over 15lbs my first six months working. As a nurse you will be constantly barraged with doughnuts, cookies, other treats and the ease of cafeteria food. Stress and lack of time will aide you in eating unhealthy. Just in one week I have…

I wouldn't think so as long as it is coming from natural sources (food not fortified with it).
-
If that is the case then you are only about 20 weeks away from your goal! (Maybe not exactly since 9lbs a week is a lot but it is a good way to think of it, I think!)

This may have been said but add some cocoa powder to it to make chocolate!

Magnesium citrate and sunsweet ones along with probiotics.
-
Magnesium and Omega 3's (not foods, I know). Try chamomile tea and I think just eating more fruits and veggies should help. Food may not be your answer. How about meditation? Docs won't know an answer....trust me. I would avoid caffeine and other stimulants. Just throwing some stuff out there.

Consider reading "The End of Diabetes" by Dr. Joel Fuhrman. Congrats on your success so far. I wish you great health for the future!

I take Innovix Labs Triple Strength, two soft gels per day. I do it for the brain health and the anti-inflammatory properties. If I were a male I might be concerned about the prostate cancer risk but I would have to do more research.

Friday is my established weigh-in day so I'm interested!
-
I would say yes because while my weight may not be impacting my health immediately (I think it is though), I am a nurse and I see what it does to you and I see what life is like as an elderly obese patient. No thanks. Kudos to you for taking action now!
-
I'm going for once a week now (2.5 weeks in) but I may go longer as I progress. Small victories at the beginning can really motivate you!

Search for 77 year old female bodybuilder Ernestine Shepard on google. It is quite an inspiring story!
-
I had that same problem my first week but on week two I have had to be careful not to go over.
