What was you very basic though? That's what I'm trying to get, because I'm sure what I was taught was not the same view you were taught. Thanks again!

I'm going with THING, that's what I was always told! lol

That was great! Thanks!

ummmmm, ok! If you say so! lol

the celery diet, eat only celery because it takes more calories to eat and burn then are in the celery itself!

add a yogurt, or some nuts also an apple. They will help with calories and are easy to eat.

My husband and I tried for 4 years before I got pregnant. Constantly thinking about it will only put stress on you making it harder to get pregnant. To tell you the truth I had given up on getting pregnant and bought a puppy, 4 months later I was pregnant. I think it was because I wasn't thinking about it anymore, rather I…

Do what will make you happy!! Don't pick something just to make everyone else happy, if you do this you will hate your life!!!! If you feel the way you say you do about medicine, it shouldn't even be a question of what you should do! Screw everyone else and make yourself happy! Good Luck with Med school!!!

This is so true!! My husband and I started at the same time, he's down 75lbs I'm down 40. I think it's great you are doing this together. It really motivated me to stay with it. You will do great!!!

I had my engagement ring re-sized a few months back. It had a crack in the band and would have coast like $200 to fix, but only $35 to re-size. I went down a whole size, but today I noticed it was starting to spin around my finger again. I haven't re-sized my wedding band yet but I think I will wait till I'm done with my…

I have heard running is really bad on the joints. I unfortunately had knee problems before I started running that I didn't know about. I had a torn meniscus resulting in knee surgery in June. My pain was under the knee cap, but when the doctor pushed on the outside of my knee where the joint is I flew off the table from…

That's Awesome! Congrats! It's always nice when someone notices all your hard work!!

I have always been a night snacker. I used to work nights until I had my kids 4 years ago, so was used to eating at night. I eat air popped white popcorn.( jolly time) It's 100 calories for 5 cups. I munch on this while I watch tv or a movie. I was told that if you eat something with crunch and you have to chew it tricks…

I have a tattoo on my lower back and so far there is no change. However, I do have one that I got before I gained all my weight and it got stretched and now as I am loosing it looks really really bad! It will be removed in the future. If you are in the process of loosing weight I would wait until you are almost to your…

Yes! I was always hungry when I first started. I find 90 calorie granola bars help me if I get hungry. Also small apples or a handful of almonds or popcorn. I love popcorn!!! 20 calories for a cup of air popped white popcorn. Drinking water will also help. Good Luck!! You will do great!

I never thought about how long it could have taken someone to loose the weight. I respect everyone here, everyone is working to have or keep a healthy lifestyle. Also any weight loss is a step in the right direction and I am not trying to say that if you have only lost 2lbs that I will listen to someone who has lost 20lbs…

Like everyone else, I saw big drops when I started. However for me I have lost 40lbs in about 4 months. I have been in my new lifestyle change for 6 months but in June I had knee surgery and in May it was so bad that I couldn't work out. Until about 2 weeks ago I couldn't really do anything( maybe a short walk around the…

My dad had gastric bypass done a few years ago and his doctor told him that it still counts, but you shouldn't do more than 1 or 2 glasses like that. It's not the same as drinking plain water. Same as coffee and tea, still water but not the same.

Congrats! I love that feeling of being able to fit into something for the first time in years. Although I think you will need to buy some new cloths before you hit 50lbs. I didn't want to buy pants either, until my husband and sister told me in the nicest way possible that it looked like I had crapped my pants and really…

Sometimes......depends how long I am doing it for

yes, because every pound you loose drops that number on the bottom. So if you never change your weight you will hit that number.

I can see were they wouldn't believe you either! Great job to you as well!

That is so AWESOME!!! My husband is right there with you! and I'm not to far behind! Congrats on all your hard work. Makes you feel awesome when someone doesn't believe that a picture that was taken before your life change is really you, doesn't it?!! Again congrats on a job well done!

I think I will also do the crunches. Had knee surgery and still not strong enough yet for it not to buckle. Great idea though!!! Iowa Hawkeyes won today. At the half it was 27-0! I should get a great workout!!

Congrats that is super AWESOME!!! So happy for you!

Iowa Hawkeyes all the way baby!!!!

Lean cuisines and smart ones are tasty. I also make pizza out of soft tacos. If you want my recipes send me a message. I also make chicken in a crock pot with green chillies! So good!!!

Almost never!! I have two small kids 3 and 4 and I do not have time to put it on in the morning. If I am going to a wedding or out to dinner or out with friends I usually wear it.

You can do it!!! Cut down on pop and if you truly want to hit that goal.....cut out the fast food!( if you eat it) Take a walk every day, doesn't have to be a brisk walk, just keep moving. I also do not eat the calories I earn from working out, but that's me. You have to want it more than anything else. Don't deprive…

Good Morning! Thanks for your post, it made me smile!!
