health issues making it hard
So, I've lost weight before, 70 lbs actually. But yes I gained it back. I want so bad to get back on track but don't know how. I had gall bladder surgery 1.5 years ago and another procedure done at the same time on my bile duct. Since then I have dealt with severe stomach issues. I don't want to give TMI but what it…

Why are we the last to see it
I have lost 45 lbs so far. I have quite a ways to go but 45 lbs is a lot. I've had several people comment on my loss but I wasn't seeing it. I mean I have gone down several sizes in jeans and shirts, I measure, so I know I was decreasing in size but I didn't see it. Last night I decided to do my very first comparison shot.…

I exercise daily, usually walking, but now…

too much calcium?
I noticed on the mobil app last night that my calcium intake is high, like between 150-200% each day. I drink almond breeze milk(which has 50% more calcium than reg. milk I think) but I don't drink reg. milk due to lactose issues. I tried to change my macros so I could see where I was going over with the calcium but it…

body fat analyzers/scales
I was looking at new scales today and noticed they have ones that analyze your body fat/muscle and hydration as well. Personally I've never seen this and wondered if they actually work. Are they fairly accurate or are they a waste. I would love to watch my body fat decrease as well as the weight but don't want to waste my…
