Anyone ever try ACE?
This group added me on FB, everyone in there seems so happy and has all these too good to be true testimonials about this magic natural pill that curves your appetite and gives you energy like none other. I know from history (my own) that this **** doesn't really work...but I wanted to see if there were people in here with…

Omeprazole Magnesium
:( , I was diagnosed with GERD a few years ago, and have been taking this stuff over the counter since then. I just now decided to do some research on it only to find out that it prevents your body from absorbing all kinds of good stuff and eventually will cause my health to decrease. Not to mention it causes cancer…

Alcohol taking the place of food
I don't drink (except for special occasions and lately a little more), used to...felt the "might turn into an alcoholic" feeling coming on, and stopped. My Dad and my Grandma both died in 2009, a month apart, from alcoholism. This has kept me from drinking, even before they died because I saw how it tore our family apart…

"everything in moderation"
Am I the only one who reads this and wants to throw my keyboard? I don't blame anyone, it's just that some of us don't have the "moderation" alarm that goes off in our brain. Some of us are compulsive (over)eaters, and once we start it's over with! I can't have just one piece of pizza and be ok with that, or cookie, or…

Overeaters Anonymous
I went to my first meeting last night. It was kinda scary because I was the only "currently" fat person there, everyone else was just still going to maintain the "crazies" (as they put it). At first I thought, where are all the fat people? But it was refreshing to know that these things work, and everyone in the room had a…

Sweaty workout
Why isn't sex considered exercise? Just curious... **How could it NOT be exercise? If "cleaning, light to moderate effort" is listed as a cardio exercise, then hot sweaty charliehorse having sex should be. Tell me I'm wrong?**

Weights
You know those little hand held weights you can buy at Target or wherever from the fitness aisle? I have lost 12 lbs so far on MFP. Today I picked up a 10 lb weight in one hand and a 2 lb weight in the other, and was like "holy mother this feels like a lot" I gave it to my daughter and said "this is how much weight has…

Potassium
The other day I felt like complete ****, was dizzy and moody and felt like I was gonna puke. I kept drinking water, eating my calories, drinking more water...peeing a lot. Finally I called my mom and she said I must had depleted my potassium drinking so much water. I ate 3 bananas and felt tons better. Is this all in my…

:( Headache
Have had a headache since I started this MFP calorie counting diet....I am not really depriving myself of too much, and I never made it thru the whole giving up my coffee thing. I am under my calories everyday and drinking tons of water. Why have I had a nonstop headache for almost 2 weeks now? I take asprin, it goes away…

Pictures
I'm on a roll........... Do you see pictures of yourself just taken (digital cams are great huh?) and say....HOLY HELL is that really what I look like? So tired of it, am I nuts? I feel so much smaller than I really am....denial. Yuk.

One of those "funny" chicks
Does anyone know the fat girl who makes fun of herself, pretends she is comfortable with the way she is and cracks jokes to make light of it? She feels like this takes the pressure off of her, and maybe even the eyes? LOL, (not so funny) .... this is me. Nice to meet you. It's really not a joke, but how do you REALLY cope…

Caffeine addiction ??

Eating cut off time
I have a hard time eating at a normal time. By the time I get done running around all day with my kids, get home, feed them, feed the twin babies, get them to sleep, etc....it's already 9 when I can finally shower/eat/pee. I know it's not good to eat so late, but I gotta eat right?

Phentermine
Anyone ever take it, and what's your experience with it? Let me add ... I've taken it in the past, had some good results, but always gained the weight back plus more. I have a prescription now, but am hesitant to take it. I know I'm in for the change this time, so that's not the problem....the problem is, the mood it puts…
