This. Left arm pain is indicative of stroke or heart attack.

You aren't working out 8 hours a day and eating food that is diuretic. After researching the show and how people lose that much weight in that short a period of time, I can no longer watch it. They aren't all permanent success stories.

Tendinitis and/or bone spurs. You should get it checked by a doctor to make sure there isn't any tears in any of the tendons.

Bump!

You know what's funny? After reading this, I got to thinking.......hmmm....what COULD be realistic goals for myself for this week? Will be thinking on this more. Thank you for the inspiration!

This would be a challenge for me!!!!!!!

bump!

This. I've lost weight purely for vanity (with a dash of health) in the past and it didn't stick. Me now doing it for health reasons and appreciating the vanity side of it as I loose weight has helped me to better understand why I was fat to begin with so that this will be a life-long change.

YUP! If I ever do eat bad food, it is in smaller portions and I feel nasty afterwards. I have also (this is as recent as today) started craving meat instead of carbs. Hmmmmm....Not sure about that, but that just encourages me to make a giant pot of bean with STEAK in it!

Well, that's a rather broad request. I have lost 28 lbs, but I have 72 more to go. You are welcome to look at my profile pics. The one of me in red and the one of me in jeans and a black shirt are all my most recent after the 28 lb loss.

Holy cr@p!! That is awesome!!! I hope I can get to ONEDERLAND by my birthday in 17 weeks...that will be 45 lbs off in that amount of time. I don't know if I can, but I would LOVE to be there by the time I turn 32!! This site DOES work. I am the first to admit that logging calories seemed like a HUGE waste of time and…

I agree. If I were to put my highest weight in...305...at the height of my pregnancy.....that's not fair or accurate considering I had something infesting my body. I go based off the weight I was when I started and I have a benchmark of when I got pregnant. That benchmark has been blown out of the water and I am 20 lbs…

In three months, I lost 28 lbs. There were days I didn't log and I know I ate like a hog. I have remained consistent with having one day per month where I don't count anything and I don't exercise and I eat just for pleasure.

I am with her. I would punch someone in the face. Then again, I have my own office and cameras that see who comes and goes, so anyone hiding/taking anything that they aren't supposed to would get killed upon me learning of their identity.

I'm 5'9" and your current weight is my goal weight (I am currently 244 - started out at 272 on July 20th - loss of 28 lbs in three months). It will look scrawny on me because I'm not built to be super-model thin. I have a thick build. My sister makes snide comments about me losing weight. I know she is jealous because she…

You look amazing!!! I don't have my photos uploaded onto photobucket, but you can see them on my profile. 28lbs down, 72 to go but I am already feeling a LOT different...like it is actually possible and junk!

That wasn't the original premise behind what I responded to.

To play devil's advocate to your devil's advocate, how would you kidnap them? If you chose to drug them so they wouldn't fight back, those drugs would be in their system and would be found when an autopsy was conducted. If you chose to bind them, those bindings would leave bruises/impressions in their skin and those would…

Same here. I LOVE salads and they have an amazing salad bar!!

Two things: This is not exclusive to men. Women do it just as well. Maybe *you* don't do it, but many do. If you are looking for a man to make you happy, you will never find "happiness". You have to love yourself and be happy with yourself before anyone else can love you and be happy with you. I'm sure there are other…

That. I dislike people who don't allow themselves to splurge every once in a while. Frankly, if I don't allow for fast food, I am going to end up bingeing. I have learned the hard way: KNOW YOUR BODY and it is OK to splurge from time to time.

Not alone!!! I have the same issues. Last night (after a very stressful evening), I couldn't sleep, so I dove into my closet and started trying clothes on. The dresses I had bought for my company Christmas party last year are both too big on me, all my volleyball shorts either fit perfectly or are too big, and a pencil…

I do watch it from time to time and some of the food DOES look amazing. What I do is find healthier alternatives if I feel like eating it. Call me the cosmic kill-joy, but it at least gives me the same satisfaction without the calorie count. I love food as well, so I just have to learn to love it in smaller portions with…

I started on 7.20.11 and have so far lost 28 lbs. Depends on the person, dedication, and how well you listen to your body. I have been here for three months as of today.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! That makes me giggle

I am 5'9", 244, and I wear a size 18. God blessed me with hips and buns. I'm happy with both of them. My figure is now a pear (was once an hour glass but then I had a baby and that changed the game plan). Wanting to change the composition of your body and how it is naturally built is like wishing you were taller or…

I so understand how you feel. I was on them and I had the same exact experience (but I was also a raging b!tch while on them...got off of them because I was so tired of being a horrible person...skinny or not, it isn't worth it). Give your body time to come back to itself. I stopped taking them 2 years ago and my weight…

I have tried both OTC and prescription diet pills. The only thing that has ever worked for me for sustained weight loss is diet and exercise. I would turn into a she-beast on the phentermine, and my heart would feel like it was about to explode with OTC diet pills. I have a lot to live for that makes both of those…

I did yoga for pregnant women when I was pregnant. Six kids???? Holy moly!! You go girl!! I want to have two more, but I think my uterus' urges to have more kids will be satiated after that. I wasn't heavily into taking care of myself when I got pregnant with my son. In fact, I had to stop drinking and smoking when I…

Noted! I have noticed that I have lost inches around my bum - less cottage cheese...that's a GRAND improvement. I'd be willing to give some of it up, but not all. I like my curves.
