Great job so far and having the courage to post! It is an inspiration!

Do not get the depo shot! It basically makes it so you don't feel full. Every time I ask a healthcare professional outright about the shot they basically agree that it will make you gain weight. The pill 'Heather' also made me gain weight, same hormones. I'm currently on Mirena and losing weight at a healthy rate post…

You can make your own popsicles with 100% fruit juice.. just need to buy the molds.. Also maybe chocolate chips? They exist without milk and corn but you'll have to look for the right brand. They might be a good treat as to kids it seems like they're getting a lot because they're small.. Don't listen to the other people…

I always have the urge to yell at people I see running on the street while I'm driving - Words of encouragement! no matter what the person looks like but I never do because I don't want someone to take it the wrong way... like I'm making fun of them.. but I wouldn't be, I guess I'm not sure what to say to actually be…

Depo causes weight gain for most people... it did for me too..

I second the Better than bullion!! I add it to rice.. soups.. everything.. :D They have a veggie one if you're going for vegetarian.

You look great!! Make sure you're landing as softly as you can when jumping, insanity is really hard on knees. I would do it everyday if my knees could take it..

The best indicator of future behavior is past behavior. Have YOU joined a gym before? If so, what did you do? Did you go? Personally, I join a gym and go for a while then get bored. BUT, if I work out at home I stick with it. I use videos and workout at home by myself.

Yes it is accurate. You are losing water weight if you are eating at a calorie deficit.. blood sugar is carried around the body attached to water molecules and when you have less blood sugar readily available you lose water weight. Also, less food going through your digestive tract can have an effect.. these things…

Nope. No help in meal planning, grocery shopping or food prep. He does pay for all food out though and we eat out a fair amount.

I agree! Not sure what the one guy was talking about.. http://healthnut-em.blogspot.com/2010/01/peanuts-vs-almonds.html I guess both have their benefits but there is concern peanut butter (and peanuts) can increase your risk of cancer.. I use it like peanut butter.. on apples it is awesome! and bananas..

I read a study that some doctors did where they had people with depression exercise everyday for an hour and gave another group prescription anti-depression drugs. There was the same amount of relief in each group and the exercise effects were longer lasting when they stopped working out vs. the group that stopped taking…

I would probably do a small thing the next weekend with my parents and maybe a few other people.. let them take you out to a nice dinner or something.. it should be obvious to them that she has stolen the spot light and if they're fair people they should want to celebrate with you also... As for two years from now.. you…

Wow. Your sister sounds like a horrible person. None of that is acceptable behavior from an adult.. maybe a 12 year old! I would cut her out of your life - if she confronts you tell her you'll include her in your life when she grows up. I'm 100% serious - keep her away! You need positive people in your life - sounds like…

Whatever I wanted. All the time. For the rest of my life.

Live in Powell, work in Columbus.. trying to look good for my season pass to Zoombezi bay at the Columbus zoo this summer!

I get the salmon or tilapia - both aren't too bad.. and one bowl of minstrone no cheese.. water with lemon :D Skip the bread sticks - they taste like cardboard and aren't worth it!

Fantastic! It's hard to notice when you see someone everyday. It happened to me a lot where the people I saw everyday didn't notice and the people I hadn't seen in a while noticed bit time! Hang in there and people will start to notice..

It seems like most of what you eat is processed foods. Cut out soda and processed foods. Eat whole foods, raw fruits and vegetables and I bet you'd see a big change... Lose weight in the kitchen & get fit in the gym...

Ha Kim that's what I want to know..

It is SUPER hard on your knees.. so Nay for me - had to stop because I couldn't use stairs anymore..

Almond butter is a good alternative to peanut butter.. I usually drink almond milk also. When I started losing weight the first protein powder I used was hemp protein powder - it is high fiber also so helps keep you full, it does have a very unique taste though so you may have to try to hide it.. maybe in a fruit smoothie?…

Aria Women's protein powder Chocolate or Vanilla.. only 2g sugar for 80 cals and 14 protein. I just mix them with water and drink..

1. oatmeal-lately cinnamon and 1/2 cup of silk very vanilla soymilk 2. toast- with butter and raspberry jam 3. ice cream sundae - vanilla ice cream and hot fudge 4. frozen yogurt - nope 5. popcorn (flavor) - plain air popped 6. chocolate candy - kit kats or snickers 7. fruity candy - nope 8. muffin - lemon poppy seed 9.…

chipotle burrito bowl and a nap.. :)

I read about a study where people who exercised were actually helped the same amount as other depressed patients who took medication, except those that exercised had longer lasting effects than those who took medication if they stopped. So hopefully that will help motivate. Also, do you eat low fat products? Because a lack…

Today!

I usually try to eat a baked fish or salad or something I know can't be too bad.. stay away from the cream sauce! haha tomato sauce is generally pretty safe unless it's just a giant plate of pasta.. or just save half for lunch the next day.. the other thing I do now that I'm closer to my goals is a cheat day where I don't…
