  1. Best things you can do are take gas-x chewables or strips and walk walk walk as much as you can!!!! Congrats on your big day!!
  2. That is so awesome!! I just packed up all my 3x and over and half of my 2x!!! I have never in my life packed up my fat clothes knowing I will never need them again!!!!!
  3. Make sure you get enough protein and also you can try biotin. Protein most important!!!
  4. I am looking for a bar that is under 200 calories low carb and around 20 protein. I found Quest bars and I love the lemon. Any other suggestions??
  5. Friggen amazing!! Don't take anything away from him cause he is a man. 180 lbs is amazing for anyone!!!! Any tips for us other losers???
  6. I was thinking shatake too.
  7. I felt that way and eventuall called my doctor who let me start blended canned soups. I suggest if you feel that bad and you are drinking a lot of water maybe call your doctor.
  8. I love your sense of humor and spunk!!!!
  9. Yes please check out Missy's link!! If you do not need a fill please dont get one. I have a friend who has lost 75 lbs so far since mid December with no fills. I also met someone at a group who lost around 150 with no fill. Not everyone needs fills. Wish I didnt would make my journey so much easier because I usually end up tight and have to get unfilled.
  10. Wow kudos to you!!
  11. I use blue diamond unsweetened vanilla almond milk in the refrigerated section. 30 calories a cup. I can barely taste the differrence between that and skim milk!!
  12. Have you checked the calories in those?
  13. Natural peanut butter with nothing added is 200 calories for 2 tbls. It has protein but I would not consider it a lot. I was eating it but decided I was not willing to use those calories. I mix a lot of different raw and sprouted nuts and mix in my yogurt or have for a snack but not every day. I saw somewhere. That sunflower seed butter is healthiest. When I want peanut butter I mix pb2 with a little almond milk, sweetener or little honey, and dash of salt.
  14. Actually, if you click on the link in my previous post you can click on "Choose flavor" and you can buy chocolate or vanilla in 2lb or 5lb tubs..the vanilla is slightly more expensive, but definitely reasonable [/quote ... Thanks for the links. I could not tell from the first one, but the second is too many calories for me. I actually decided not to a shake. Looking for a good bar for after workouts. Every time I drink a shake I get terrible pain in my left shoulder and when I add ingredients it just raises the calories.
  15. If you still have them go back and exchange for new flavor. I heard the fruit punch taste like kool aid.
  16. If you area using Jello brand brand mix a whole box has 1200 sodium. That is very close to what you should have in entire day. Also the ricotta has additional sodium. Just FYI.
  17. I definately agree with second opinion! Congrats on your weight loss!!
  18. You are lucky to have a second change. I wish you the best of luck. You may want to see if you can find anything on line about Carnie Wilson. She did same thing not too long ago.
  19. I love refried beans can you please share the recipe????
  20. Most doctors have support groups and if they dont there is usually one around. Make sure ot ask. Best of luck to you.
  21. Personally I think you need to call your doctor or nutritionist to figure out how to get everything in. I dont think you should be forcing liquids down if you are hungry.
  22. My mother had eroding in her esaphagus from being on ibprofen for long time. I dont think short time would really make a difference. Also my gp will not let me take ibprofen because my creatine (sp?) levels are high. There are also some medications that tell you not to take ibprofin with them. For example lithium.
