Yes, you can definitely tell a difference. So, maybe get some for yourself and the regular kind for the kids.

I have an egg, with a piece of low fat cheese on an english muffin or thin bagel. With it I have some sort of fruit and a luna protein bar. I usually have this every morning. I change it up once in awhile.

You look amazing! :drinker:

Run Lola Run ---- the whole soundtrack is awesome!

I have been on celexa for over 4 years. It is the only anti-depressant that hasn't put weight on me. Of course, medications affect everyone differently. I was diagnosed bipolar 4 years ago and all the medications my doc put me on caused me to gain over 100 pounds. Being on meds and trying to lose weight is hard, but not…

Fantastic Job!!! You must be so proud of yourself. You look wonderful!

You don't want to be rude and not eat :) Definitely like everyone else said... try things, but small, small portions. Have a good time!

BS in Geography/Meteorology and a Minor in Broadcasting. Did some on air television for awhile and decided I wanted a family. Then, I went into Human Resources.

That's so sweet. When I do my videos, instead of the gym, I'll catch my 5 year old doing the same thing :)

Thanks everyone for the great suggestions! I do not want to cause further injury or pain!!

Hey C.J., Low Sodium??? That's interesting. I didn't know that could be a reason. I'm actually on a medication that can deplete sodium levels and my psychiatrist is having my levels tested. I haven't really added any new routines, just the same old thing for now. I think until my thighs are better, I'll just leave lower…

I love pickles and olives too, and I gave them up just for that very same reason. I figure once in awhile is okay, but I love them so much that I decided not to keep them in the house. I guess once I've reached my goal it'll be okay to have them again :)

:laugh: That must have totally felt good! What goes around comes around!

Congratulations!! All your hard work paid off! You're amazing :drinker:

My therapist gave me this information... If this fits you, you might want to get some help for you binge eating. I know how you feel and I am in therapy for this very thing. Good Luck. Binge Eating Disorder Binge eating disorder, the most common eating disorder in the United States, affects approximately 2% of adults, with…

You look wonderful! What's even better is that you are so much healthier. What an amazing job you have done :drinker:

I have 2 herniated disks in my back. I've had them since I was a junior in college. I have to be careful to not do anything to make them flare up. If you're in a lot of pain, a frozen bag of peas is best!!! Twenty minutes on and twenty mins off. When you're back starts feeling better I would only do exercises that do not…

You look wonderful! Great job!

I have joint pain because of a medication that I take, but it sounds like yours is really bad!!! Could you do some swimming or maybe use an elliptical machine? Those have no hard impact on the joints.

A long time ago when I wanted to lose weight in college, I couldn't pull myself to go into the gym. However, I read this article about going to the gym and that no one else is paying attention to you, they are concerned with their own workout. Ever since reading that I could care less about who is looking. I'm proud that…

Absolutely! You're up and moving...COUNT IT!! :)

Me too, but my baby is 5 :tongue:

Ill be happy to add you! Good luck on your weightloss journey!

"Glad you're finally doing something about it."

When does it come on? I can't believe I'm missing it!

Don't sweat it! I'm Catholic and my hubby is not, but he went through pre-cana with me. We did a test as well. The priest looked at us and said you are not compatible at all. We looked at each and laughed. He said with a straight face, "I'm serious. This is not good." Well, here we are, 7 years and doing great! Our…

My suggestion would be to talk to a personal trainer or dietician if you can. However, sometimes eating more of the good calories, carbohydrates and fats is very helpful. Maybe try adding 200-300 more calories to your diet and see if it helps.

Congrats! Those are all things that are slowly not becoming problems for me either. Way to go!

I know how you're feeling. I was helping with my daughters pre-school class and one of the little girls told me I had a big belly. I was crushed. Even though she was only 5, it still hurt. Sometimes my daughter will say things about the way a person looks (not to their face of course), but I correct her immediately. I told…

I had it done to my underarms. It was painful for me, because I wasn't able to use the lidocaine. However, the session goes by pretty quick and I really like the results.
