Topomax
After being on phentermine for almost a year, my body has gotten used to it. I have remained stable for the past few months. I talked to my doctor this morning and he recommended adding Topomax, so basically Qsymia. So far, I am feeling much better already...which is good because I have another 5 pounds to lose. Anyone…

Treadmill Scenery
It appears that I will soon be doing my running indoors on the treadmill. Luckily, I do have a treadmill in my living room, but I get so bored on it. I have seen "treadmille scenery" videos advertised...anybody have any experience with these? Any that are fantastic and motivating? Any that are free? I am willing to pay for…

Running and Back Fatigue?
I have recently finished C25K and have continued to run.

ChaLean and Exercise Bands
I am about to start the Push cycle and am worried that I may not have heavy enough weights to get me to failure, and at this time it is not possible for me to upgrade. I do have some exercise bands, but haven't really liked using them in the past with other programs. Anyone using exercise bands with ChaLean? If so, do you…

Any Good Health Insurance for Overweight People?
Currently, with my rubinesque figure...ok, it is more just the darned numbers on the scale, I am having a hard time finding individual health insurance...they all seem to be discount programs. I don't really need a discount program, but if something catastrophic happens, I do need to have coverage to help me with it.…
