Much more energy and clothes fit better. No one told me I would need to log every single meal and morsel and be committed to doing that in order to lose weight.

Love Amy's for sure!!! The mushroom rissotto is wonderful :smiley:

Yes, to each their own. I asked Santa for a French Press for Christmas (my sister :) I buy starbucks french roast whole bean and grind my own - and yes it is soooo worth it :) I know Keurig has its uses and that's great, but I was never interested. Coffee onward pals ... a coffee Chicago girl :)

Thanks for this topic Jackibrazil, I have heard that they do - good question! Good luck with deciding on your surgery, it sounds like you might lose the weight first, then see how you feel about it - they might be just right :) either way good luck!

Feeling more confident knowing I am taking care of myself !!!

Hi, I use fish or flax seed oil capsules, primrose oil, sunflower lecithin oil, and have even taken olive oil. I remember when I was little and my mom used to give me cod liver oil, well it worked then and it works now. I hear you my friend ♥ Good luck!!

Bump!!!! Great topic!!! All of your pictures are highly motivating!!! I have most of my weight in my tummy too!! Thank you for this thread !!!

I use a vegan protein powder and find that when I add extra protein to my meals it curbs my hunger.
-
I recently started focusing more on lean proteins too, and eat salmon and chicken breast regularly and just started buying organic. I love cashews and nuts, low fat provolone cheese ! yogurt is my buddy :) good luck!!

Prednisone makes me gain weight. I have had to take it for asthma and usually gain weight. It's real weight. It takes me just as much time to lose it like any other weight. It's very frustrating.
-
Thank you for this post :) I am also in the same boat with Hashimoto's and when I started menopause I started gaining weight and am at the highest weight I have ever been in my life. It is extremely hard to lose weight. I have recently been reading the benefits of Paleo; I am allergic to dairy and sensitive to gluten, so…

Good luck on your journey asaber1616, I can understand you just wanting to vent, I too have found that restrictions do not work for me. I hope you find the right balance to get you where you want to be.

Hello April, and Hello Pals ♥ I am on day 4 of no refined sugar and I feel good. I have been struggling with cravings and menopause and lots of other big changes in my life, and I feel like I am at a place to really look at what I put in my body. I am a turtle on this lifestyle changing journey taking one day at a time and…

Love the dipping fork idea, and I make my own with lite Thousand, rice milk (or any kind of fat free) and fat free greek yogurt, it's surprising how good it is :) good luck!!

Please feel free to add me as a friend!! I was told by my doctor that…

Yes I agree with the hip flexor exercises, and lower trunk rotations - I do those daily because of an old back injury too :) another good one is knees to chest and roll your lower back in small circles, then large circles. I like the hip exercises, they really tend to break that stiffness right away ;) good luck!!

Nope. I say no. Most guys need to have the 4 foot rule :)

I recommend Cerave' which was recommended by my Dermatologist, and Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing lotion.

Yummmmmmmmyyy!! thanks!!

Bump :)

Trust your gut :) I hike where the people are hiking and stay away from places that are secluded. Trust your instincts. I walked on a hiking trail alone during the middle of the day once, it was pretty desolate and I kept thinking how long would it take to dial 911 if someone jumped me, then I knew right then and there I…

It's hard to see my self in pictures when my whole life I had been much more slimmer, I can understand. I just keep telling myself to keep my eye on the prize - me!! with great health and feeling good about myself. Each day is a new commitment and sometimes I feel like a turtle, but another pal said "slow and steady wins…
