I did, and then kind of got away from it and am going back..... It worked well when I actually DID it! Did alot of traveling and dinner meetings so stopped for a while.... If I can help with questions, call me Linda/RN (210-497-3218)

What you will do with that much of a calorie restriction my friend is cause your body to conserve and STOP burning calories. I'd bump up the cals.,... Linda/RN

There's NOTHING more important than Health and Wellness!! Linda/RN

I'm starting with the CLA tomorrow. What kind of results have you seen? Linda/CMAS, BS, RN

Does he normally have problems with pain in his legs or swelling? Sometimes a person can have a problem with leg circulation ... If he's eating as you say, and it continues to happen, I'd absolutely have a doc check it out.... Have him keep a diary of what he eats and times, fluid intake and times, and his physiological…

Yep, that's my sweetie too! NOT FAIR is it???? :-) Linda/RN

I'm a RN, and I don't EVER recommend fiber TABLETS. I've seen 5 ot 6 bowel obstructions from them. I do add my powder fiber when I do my protein drinks, but that's mixed with a drink .... so PLENTY of fluids. I think it may be more than you hit that plateau that we all hit... Try upping your exercise time.... :-) It will…

Are you taking vitamins? Linda/RN

Just for a change every week or two Tim and I go to the mall before the stores open and we walk an hour in the AC! I enjoy that..... Just stay focused on your goal hon and the HOW won't matter as much as the WHY!! Linda/RN

I know how you feel. I go up a lb and down a lb and have for 2 weeks.... but the inches are coming off.... Yes you want to see it on the scales.. but think about something. Your HEART is a muscle, and you are also strengthing that muscle. GOOD FOR YOU! The scale will eventurally reflect it too, but that's only ONE…

For anyone with anemia problems or trying to get pregnant, PRENATALS ROCK!!!! Linda/RN

As a RN, we called Centrum and One a Day Vitamins BEDPAN BULLETS with a VERY POOR absorption rate. I tried all of the HYPE vitamins out there. I only take the Melaleuca Vitamins now and have for 9 years. Cost is $20 monthly and come with 3 month trial guarantee...... NOT all vitamins are created equal as you've seen.....…

AWESOME JOB!!!!! ;-)

I ABSOLUTELY agree and it's SOOOO good for you!!!!

How about adding a protein with added fiber drink during the day as a snack? That did the trick for me.....

YOU GOT IT!!!! Keep us posted!! BY THE WAY... tell them you are part of a diet and exercise group online where you really enjoy helping and motivating others! They LOVE hearing that... and it's the truth!! Linda/RN

Many times it's the specific vitamin that does that, so change vitamins. I actually had that problem. What I found is that If you take one that's fast and easily broken down by your body, so it's actually absorbed rather than becoming what us nurses fondly referred to as "bedpan bullets"... the nausea isn't a problem... I…

AMEN!!!!

Open your diary so we can see it hon and there are TONS of people here that can give you suggestions... I was eating 1200 daily, NOT losing, upped it to 2000 and KNOW it's going to be better as I've dropped a size... Linda/RN in San Antonio

Be EASY???? You deserve an Award!! You have come SOOOO far and we're SO PROUD of you! You paved the way to show us newbies what can be done with determined and committed effort!!! WAY TO GO! Linda/RN

My rule of thumb is to eat at least half of the calories I burn.... I go by BMI so need about 2000 cal daily for healthy weight loss, but think about this. Your body needs a certain amount of energy (calories) to do all of the normal functions. When you have less calories there than needed.... SOMETHING gets hurt.... You'd…

Yea, my hubby and I own a business from home, so when we wake up we walk before we check emails...... Living close to a job you have would be ideal! Do you get a lunch break that you can walk during at work?

Tim and I love being debt free.... a goal SOOO worth working for! KEEP AT IT!!!! :-)

My hubby and I are both home full time, so Ive already scratched off many things on my list, but we STILL have to: 1). Go to Hawaii 2). Own a house on the water in Destin Florida (with a pool and BIG dock for the boat and jet skiis) 3). Help two friends reach Executive Director level 4). Go on a hot air balloon ride 5).…

I did one thing that I used to PREACH to others as a RN, and it's absolutely made a huge difference is I walk 30-60 minutes at least 5 days a week. Thatt wouldn't hurt your neck at all.. Linda/.RN

I'M THE SAME WAY. I WANT TO SET MYSELF UP FOR SUCCESSES AND NOT FOCUS ON FAILURES..... ANY LOSS IS A GOOD LOSS!!!

Yep, those "weight loss miracles" are short lived..... a healthy lifestyle is forever. Linda/RN

I have my Miracle Pill now... and it's called MyfitnessPal...... and as a Registered Nurse who took care of all sorts of patients in my CCU from various herbs and diet pills, stick with MFP!!

Yep..... like most in my "younger dumber" years, I tried them all.... and have the heart murmer to show for it now. Green tea helps with weight loss, but other than that just take good vitamins and get ready to go to work! We're right there with you!!!! :-)

Feel free to add me..... I'm BizNurse and home full time.....
