  • Getting exercise and working out is good. But, it's mostly about the food. We make progress on the things we track. Weighing, measuring and recording is the only way I stay on track.
  • Los Angeles - morning fog, with a high of 73.
  • Everyone is different. But, I found I had to cut the white starch, even whole wheat stuff. I eat more protein (a good portion of real meat) and NO starches and NO sugar and the cravings stay away. I do eat nuts, veggies and fruits. I use to be an emotional eater, but if I stay on this diet, I'm not emotional, I feel sooo…
  • I use protein shakes and good old fashion meat-lean cuts of course.
  • First, I would get more info on low carb diets. There are some like Atkins that cut carbs down to aprx 15 daily for a short time and then you start adding them back in. It is my understanding that most of the other low carb diets are a variations of this extreme. It's not enough to cut white starch, but also sugars. I…
  • first, let me say that exercise is a small part of losing weight.Exercise is good for you and essential to a healthy life style but for losing weight, it's mostly about what you eat. If you don't want the lap band don't do it. For me, I had about 60lbs to lose. I tried the hcg and it worked well only because it taught me…
  • My doctor's office/staff, did everything possible to make me comfortable. It was probably worse for my husband who was watching on a gigantic screen, my eyes being lazered. I recommend you shop around for an office where you get time with the actual doctor performing the procedure. If I was going again I would have asked…
  • There will always be mean, shallow people in the world. That has nothing to do with our weight. I had two babies under three years old. They were both having a melt down as I was trying to leave the grocery story. I stooped down with my bag of groceries to try and restrain one of them, while holding the other on my hip,…
  • I did px90 a couple of years ago. What's nice, is you can start at any level and work into whatever intensity you want. I have an very short attention span so I committed to 15 min a day and after abt a week I was up to 30 min. I was almost 50 at that time. After about 6 wks my physical therapist friend could tell the…
  • I agree the sugar addiction is worse than the caffeine. I would cut that first, drink tea or coffee-not soda. Carbonated drinks are bad for your bones, esp if you eat it with a meal. It prevents the bones from absorbing calcium. Unless you're the type that just likes torture, stop the sugar. Then cut the caffeine slowly.…

  • I can't seriously relate and there are so many good comments here. Having more confidence is really important. I struggled with jealousy in the past-still do a little. I am married to an amazing guy who has never given me a reason to be jealous. Jealousy is more about you than whether men really are pigs-lots of them are.…
  • I love White House, Black Market. Their service is great. They are a little on the expensive side, but fair for investment pieces. I like to invest in little jackets that I can dress up or down-jeans or skirt. You can check out their website, but their clothes have so much nice details that you really can't tell from the…
  • These people don't sound passive-aggressive-they just sound aggressive. You would think they would be supportive during a challenging time, but stick with it. Sometimes people can't see past their own experiences and understand how difficult it is when you struggle with your weight. Parents are a whole different story...
