Long time since I've been here.
I've been gone for months and months so I figured I'd go ahead and post here again! I have gone threw a lot in the time I've been gone including for the third time gaining back 50lbs that I had lost. I am frustrated by this but no one ever said that weight loss was easy. Got a full time job, got fired from said job, hired…

Appetite suppressants
So I've been thinking about trying to find something that will suppress my appetite and would like some recommendations . I started Paxil about a month and a half ago which is kind of notorious for increased appetite and weight gain plus I am a comfort eater with a lot of current stresses in my life so between the two I'm…

ADR Surgery (Artifical Disc Replacement)
My husband is having this surgery next week to replace a ruptured disc in his lower back (Yay hereditary degenerative disc disease /sarcasm) and I was wondering if any of you had ever had ADR what were your recovery experiences like? What exercises were you able to do and what was off limits forever? I know these things…

What would YOU do?
If you were on your way to work and saw someone parallel parked in a side road essentially blocking entrance to that road, sitting up but facing their lap with eyes closed what would you do? Does it change if the person is young or old? Would you call 911, pull over and see if they are ok or just forget about it? This was…

What to expect from Gym Yoga classes?
I know its going to vary greatly from gym to gym of course but I was wondering what was typical of gym yoga classes. I'm not expecting anything super special and am just going because I enjoy yoga and the relaxation it brings as well as the health benefits. I'm currently doing the Couch to 5k program right now so the yoga…

NSV Gym Time
So I've been doing the C25K for the past few weeks now. Week before this one we ended up not going to the gym because my husband injured his shoulder (somehow, hes not even sure how) and since the gym membership is in his name I can't go alone. I just let it go disappointed that I was getting behind in my C25K and at the…

I don't even know what I was thinking yesterday
I ate close to a pound worth of calories and I have no clue why I kept eating, it was like I completely reverted back to where I used to be for a day(I had issues with emotional eating before Paxil). I ate junk like it was no ones business and I feel so ashamed that I ate that much yesterday, I had been doing SOOOO good…

So BMR = What my calorie limit should be?
I've noticed a few other posts today about being ridiculously hungry and I was wondering if BMR is actually what we should set our limit to, I know I am ALWAYS hungry even though I mostly eat healthy. I had mine set to 1800 because breastfeeding women should not go under that but my BMR says 2500 (I think) so should I…

Question on a Heart rate monitor
I was thinking about getting a Oregon Scientific Smart Heart monitor because it looks good and is fairly cheap, I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with it. The reviews are pretty much good on the walmart website but I'd like some to hear from you guys out there about it. Here is the link…

Beachbody.com Workouts, Which would you recommend ?
I have seen a lot of people on here talk about these workouts and was wondering if they are really worth it. I am not new to working out but I have seen some of the workouts for PX90 (I think thats right) and they would be very difficult for me to do, just don't have the stamina/endurance to do them right now. I still have…

I don't know what to do!
I just don't know what it is about 250lbs but it seems to be my unlucky number in weight loss! When I got here last time I ended up pregnant, I didn't continue exercising or eating healthy so I gained it all back, I'm finally back down here and I've gained 10lbs! I don't know if its water weight or what but in the last…

Breastfeeding moms looking to lose weight!
I figured I'd start something for all of us who are breastfeeding and wanting to lose weight. It can be difficult to breastfeed (heck to just be a mom) and lose weight but its not impossible, if we add each other and support threw the thread I'm sure we will drop the weight in no time flat! I usually weigh in on Fridays…

Multivitamins
I want to start taking a multivitamin again so I'm taking suggestions. Bonus points if you know for sure they are safe for use while breastfeeding a 1 year old. I used to take GNC's but a friend of my husbands is recommending Opti-women to me, I've already printed out the ingredient list for Opti-women to take to the…

50+ Pounds in a Year!
I was thinking about it today and realized that this time last year I weighed 300lbs after giving birth and that I weighed in at 245lbs this morning. I also realized yesterday that the pants I bought maybe a month ago are starting to fall off of me and I swear my rings are going to start making a break for it any day now,…

I'm sure its been asked a million times.
I know that this site doesn't calculate strength training calories burnt so when I get them calculated how do I put them in, would you add a entry into Cardio or am I missing something?

Extra Skin after Weightloss- Curious
I'll be 24 next month and I've got over 100lbs to lose, I was thinking about how I will probably have extra skin hanging off me after I reach my final goal weight. What I was wondering is there any way (I know losing slowly lessens the amount) to tighten that skin up or will my body since I'm still young be able to handle…

13lbs Small Victory!
It isn't a lot really but it is a victory for me! I gave birth in October 09, I had been trying to lose weight before I got pregnant and had lost 50lbs. When I did give birth I had gained it all back! I was mad but it was my fault for not keeping my diet in check while pregnant and vowed to lose it and more. I got down to…

Breastfeeding and weight loss question.
I was just curious as I'm not really sure how it works but I am breastfeeding and they have always said that you need around 500 extra calories to keep your supply from dropping. I originally started off with like 1,400 that MFP had on there but added the 500 so that it came up to 1,900 after which I ran my BMR and found…

I started off at around 300lbs and lost about 50lbs in a 6 month period with healthy eating and exercise.
