OMG everyone looks AMAZING!!! Such an inspiration....Thanks!

Got in 9. I could barely eat b/c I was full of water!

I'm in!!! 3 down 8 to go:drinker:

I went to the store specifically to get some yesterday and of course they were out.:grumble: Sales lady saw how disappointed I looked and suggested I try the Chocolate Raspberry Parfait. I was very pleasantly surprised but still would love to get my hands on some Dark Chocolate Indulgence. Thanks for the info, now I MUST…

I can definitely relate. Once the kids are in bed I like to watch tv and have a snack. Definitely chocolate...preferably ice cream.:laugh: My new guilty pleasures are Yoplait Delights Parfaits in Chocolate Raspberry. They are chocolate lowfat yogurt topped with raspberry lowfat yogurt. Pop em in the freezer and they are…

:flowerforyou: First of all, CONGRATS on finding a safe place to work on improving yourself. I too have a family of obese and morbidly people with diabetes and heart problems. I know how hard it can be to make changes with no support. You'll definitely get that and more here. I have found the that the easiest thing for our…

Congrats! I know that's an amazing feeling!

It's actually a Pico de Gallo but to my football friends anything you put on a chip is a dip or a salsa.:laugh: 1 lb. ripe red tomatoes, finely diced (with juice) ½ cup finely diced white onion ½ cup seeded, finely diced cucumber 3 tbsp. chopped cilantro 4 serrano chiles, seeded and very finely diced 1½ tbsp. freshly…

LOL! I just clicked this topic to take a peek and there on the side banner is the dang Domino's Pizza ad! :laugh: The banner on the top is advertising their free breadsticks. I've never seen those ads on this site until just now. Coincidence?:huh:

I always get requests for homemade salsa and I serve it with baked tostitos and toasted whole wheat pitas.

Ugh! Flutter kicks. They kick my *kitten*.:laugh:

P90X is an extreme workout! If you feel that it may be a little too much for you, try Power 90 instead. It has a few different levels so that anyone can start and see results. Once you've done a 90 day cycle, just reasses yourself and see if your ready to move on to P90X. If not, there is a Power 90 Master Series that's is…

Tosca has also written the Eat Clean Diet Cookbook. Good stuff. She's a columnist for Oxygen magazine and often has great recipes there also.

did 25 crunches and felt so good i kept going to 100:happy:

Hi coltsfam! Adipex-P is a brand of phentermine also known as "the good half" of the recalled diet med Fen-Phen. I would definitely advise you to stick with whatever your Dr. says b/c he knows your medical history best. As I mentioned before, the only reason my Dr. prescribed it is b/c she has treated me for a looong time…

Thank you.:happy: I work out 6 days a week and I aim for burning 500 cal in an hour. I alternate between cardio days and circuit training days.

It actually was my GYN but she also does a Dr. assisted weight loss program. She doen't recommend them for everyone, but she's privy to my medical history and situation. She gave me the eating plan that her program uses, in addition to the Adipex to accelerate the results and maintain them once I'm of the meds. It is not…

Congrats!:drinker:

I was prescribed Adipex last Friday. I've never taken anything before so I was kind of nervous. My Dr. wanted me to try it because I've been eating right, working out, and journaling it all for 2 years and nothing. I'm 5'3" and when I started taking it Saturday, I was 166.6 lbs. (I am also told that I don't look like I…

Thanks! I had to re-wet mine twice today.

1. New wardrobe 2. New tattoo 3. Beach vacation

Great Job!:flowerforyou:

Two years ago my GYN gave me the NuvaRing....changed my life!!!! I was already having weight issues and the pill just added to the problem. I also like the NuvaRing b/c it doesnt have to go through your digestive system (so no tummy troubles), its non-surgical, and you don't have to worry about forgetting to take it (like…
