I didn't gain any weight using Loestrin 24 (microgestin) FE... and the doctor finally let the cat out of the bag that instead of going on Seasonale or Seasonique becuase they advertise you only get 4 periods a year, just skip your inactive pills in your pack and you will get the same effect, which proved to be true. There…

:smile: Well let's get to it!

For me its protein and fiber. I eat a lot of veggies daily and they do the trick of making me feel full but its the fiber that helps you stay that way. Also try snacking often. Try some kind of lean protein after working out too.

I have the same problem, lol! However just explain what it is you are doing and it will be fine. You may even motivate her to jump on the bandwagon.

Drinking more water is what helps. It eats the fat, so in essence you will lose inches. Tried it for a week did my measurements and its truth! Don't believe me? Try it!:smile:

Ok I took a slightly different approach, I didn't set a particular goal in a particular time but when I decided to participate in a health challenge I simply replaced most of the bad things in my diet with healthier ones, worked out regularly 45 min daily (you can do it all at once or in spurts) & started drinking only…

That awkward moment when I felt my back touch itself and my stomach folded over and became prone to sweat! EEW! I am 28 and currently @ 146 5'4" so its noticeable. When I started this I was 156 but fell off the wagon at some point... now I am back wiyh a vengeance so if you want tips and encouragement feel free to add me!

Have you tried the Sobe Life Water? they have 0 calories and no sugar, and taste like juice. I still drink 10 glasses of water daily, and while feeling full I am seeming to lose weight steadily with it. When I am tired of water I usually go for a sobe or natural/herbal tea.

Well not quite, I am 5'2" and this morning the scale said 149.5 and my goal is 120. Used to be 115 back in college and my plan is to hit 120 by my birthday in October.

I found that it got easier when I'd breathe through my nose after so long... the in through nose out through mouth seems like a very good suggestion, though. Eventually your breathing will even out and your tolerance/recovery improve.
