    Thanks guys, I'm acutally going to start a ketogenic diet Tomorrow 03/01/12, and try it for 30 days. Adkins on speed. haha Maybe the change will help. Also- since this post- i've lost another 5lbs and im down 55lbs total only 25 to go!
  3. Just wondering if anyone has used these to help kick start a stall? I'm 7 months out and i've lost 5lbs in about a 2 month period... sooo sad. Maybe there's a healthy pill out there to help? -S

  5. So, I havent been around in quite some time. Been so busy with the mandatory OT at work, taking care of my now ONE year old son, and going to the gym. Life has been pretty hectic. I'm down 50lbs and people have noticed. It feels good, but now that I have 30 to go- goal is 145 but its seems like its taking forever. I've lost 5lbs in 2 months. wtf. This seems soooo unexceptable to me. But I guess since going to the gym an rebuilding muscle its expected. I guess everyone has their own time frame and goal and some just achive it alot faster than others. I'll be 7 months out on the 27th of this month.. I feel like a slacker lately. I think im gonna kick start my diet again and go back to maybe a liquid diet/puree stage for a few weeks and shock my body back into the ketosis stage. Doing that as long as i get all my protien in and working out, I think will help boost that 30lb goal in a month or two. Just in time for SUMMER! Anyone else go though this or been at this "rut"? I hope im not the only one. Gonna keep my fingers crossed and hope for the best. -S
  6. **Four months** geeze i cant type today.
  7. So I'm 3 months out, will be for months on Nov 27th and my hair was always really thin and fine to begin with, now that im loosing it all, I'm starting to freak. I take my vitamins every day, I've been also taking Biotin,using an intensive repair shampoo and conditioner and also using a heat protectent (sp?) when i decide to blow dry or curl my hair. Its starting to get worse and worse. I'm considering getting the jessica simpson clip in human hair extensions to just add some volume and give it some "OMPH" But was just curious to see what anyone else has done and/or tried them before? Any advice would be awesome.
  8. i must be a slow loser too becuase im 2 months out and have only lost 30lbs altogether... :/
  9. Thanks for info, and to clarify, i wasnt planning on downing a bottle, i just meant a few sips here and there- nothing crazy. I'm normally not a big drinker but sometimes just taking a nice hot bubble bath and having a small glass sounds amazing. Just to help relax a bit.
  10. So just wondering why its so long to have a drink. I've been drying for just a small glass of wine. Work has been super stressful, well let me rephase that- LIFE has been super stressful. UGH. Any help would be great!
  11. aw this is so cute!
  12. Hi guys! Have any of you stalled at this early on? I had my surgery a little over 3 weeks ago, and I havent lost anything in a week! I just started my pureed stage on wednesday and im fluctuating with just a pound. Its driving me nuts! Any advice would be awesome!

  14. I was cleared to start phase 2 liquid which includes mashed potatoes and cottage cheese on day 5-14... I start the pureed stage on Tuesday... But i also get those spasm pain things they come.. and go and then come back a few minutes later its like "whoa maybe i shouldnt have ate that?" then it goes away and i feel fine. Weird. Well i hope it gets better and congrats!
  15. Thanks so much! I think thats what it is after doing some research. I've lost like 5lbs in 5 days... and i've been having a funny taste in my mouth too. Hm. When does it go away?
