Problems with Soy
Has anyone experienced problems with taking Soy? I made the switch from Organic milk to Soy milk about a year ago and also started the Body by Vi shakes about 5 months ago. My cousin mentioned to me that she doesn't like Body by Vi because it is soy based and that soy is not good for women during child bearing age. I have…

Losing shoe size?
Has anyone else who has lost a significant amount of weight had to go down a shoe size? I have always been a size 10 1/2, which is not made, so I either have to get a size 10 and stretch the heck out of it, or get an 11 and just have a little extra space. The last 2 pairs that I have tried on, I had to go with a size 9…

What is going on?
So I weighed in today and I gained 2 lbs. I totally thought I would have lost. I have been logging in all calories and the days that I wasn't under my calories I was only over by about 200 or so, so it would still be under by calorie limit to maintain my weight. I have been working out a lot (mostly cardio) and started the…

Vericose/Spider Veins
Do any of you have them? I have a couple vericose and a lot of spider veins. I want to get them removed but wanted to know if any of you have done it and if you are happy with the results. Mine are really not that bad, and other people don't notice them. I've had to point them out to my mom and friends. Its just one of…

How accurate are cardio machines?
How accurate do you think the machines are at the gym? I usually do the Cybex Arc Trainer which is similar to an elliptical (just harder) and I usually get the same machine. Today that machine was taken so I picked the one that was 2 over. Needless to say I did the same 30 minute weight loss interval at the exact same…

Sick and tired of Complements
Is there anyone else out there who is just sick and tired of people "complementing" you on your weight loss? I am getting really frustrated and know that people are just trying to be nice, but a lot of them are going overboard. Ok, so I get that people who haven't seen me in 6 months notice a huge difference and feel the…

Updating Calorie Goals
So now that I have lost weight, my daily calorie intake is decreasing. At first I could have almost 2000 calories a day, then it was down to 1850 and now it is at about 1760. It has been really hard for me to stay under 1760 and I feel like I go over every single day if I do not earn extra calories from working out. Do you…

Phentermine
I have been on Phentermine for a little over 4 months. In addition to taking this, I have eliminated about 1500-2000 extra calories daily. Most of these calories were from drinking cokes and this is a habit that I seem to have broken. My doctor says I can only stay on Phentermine for a total of 6 months, so my time is…

I totally blew my calories for today. As of now, I am exactly at the calories that I should be. I have not ate dinner and am so hungry right now. If I eat, then I will go over my calories and if I don't, well you know...........I'm hungry! Should I just blow off today and start fresh tomorrow. Since Jan. 1st, today is the…

Plastic Surgery
Has anyone had plastic surgery to remove excess skin after weight loss? I have lost over 50 lbs., and have so much skin that hangs from my arms. The rest of my body has been able to adapt pretty well, but my arms look so awkward. Of course I still have a long way to go, but my legs and stomach have seemed to do a much…

Overcoming a Weight Loss Plateau
I have recently lost just over 50 lbs (since July) and think I have hit a plateau. Until about a week ago, I was running on an arc trainer for 60 mins/4-5 times a week and burning about 900 calories a workout. I am confused about what I should change in order to overcome my plateau. Does anyone have any specific…
