Finding MeMe

None, I was in too much pain and hated sipping.

I was born in Belize, check out this website for lots of great info on my beautiful Belize http://www.belizenet.com/ definately has all the info you are looking for. Have fun!!!!!

Step aerobics and cycling, especially a great spin/Les mills RPM class.

I think he eas talking about heavy, powertype lifting. There is nothing wrong with using light wights or even using your own bodyweight, dips, pushups, lunges, squats, etc. Good luck to you.

I don't have celiac but I am extremely allergic to gluten. I survive on lots of beans, corn, rice, chicken and vegges. I also do a lot of juicing for my nutrients. For example for breakfast I would have a protien shake, lunch homemade chili with 5 types of beans made with ground turkey, dinner maybe several deli sliced turkey with cheese. It takes some getting used to but so worth it.

I plan to stop losing when I hit a normal/healthy BMI, I am now overweight at 29% BMI at 189 lbs, started at 250 also and plan to go down to 21 or 22% body fat. I no longer focus on the scale but instead look at my BMI. But, I will see how I feel and how I look at 22% body fat and decide. I am wearing size 7 jeans now so it just depends because I don't want to shrink down to a size 1 or 2 but again I will see as the weight comes down. Take Care.

They are going away slowly but surely and almost flat as a pancake from 38D and I lost 60 lbs.

I know, this community is awesome..

Looks like you are ready for boot camp, congrats.

I like it and vanilla is the only flavor I can tolerate. With 52grams of protien, I can't complain.

Good for you and welcome to the forum..

Yes I agree, stay away from all diary for awhile, it sounds like you are extremely allergic to it. You can try lactose free milk which has helped me a lot, I also drink carnation milk powered which dosen't seem to bother me. However stay away from all milk, cheese products and see how you feel after a few days then slowly introduce maybe a small piece of cheese to see if you can consume it with no issues. Good luck to you.

Around 8 weeks for me is when I restarted my spin classes, step aerobics and running. I didn't lift heavy weights (bench press) until I was 3 months out.

Beans are my favorite foods I started eating them two weeks after. Today, I eat them at least 3x per week, I make chili with 4 types of beans, stewed beans (new orleans style) with either red beans or black beans. I make my own refried beans with kidney beans and also scramble an egg and put some chili beans on top for extra protien. Since I am gluten free I don't know what I would do without my beans.

I agree with Jafter, keep up the exercise and you will eventually keep losing. Muscle weighs a lot more than fat, continue to monitor your weight and try to weigh yourself like once a week. I found that my wt fluctuates if I weigh myself daily or twice a day.

I'm with foxbins nutritioally, cup of noodles is lacking in nutrition and this is the type of food we should stay away from. I'm sorry if this answer is not popular but this is one of the worst foods we can consume.

You need to cut that Lane Bryant card now!!!!!! I cut mine before surgery. Happy Losing.

I'm glad I didn't throw mine away. I would eye my levi's jeans ccasionally and say one day size nine you will fit over my hips again. Well after my surgery on 23 Jan 12, I am in a size 7 the 9s are almost too big. You will fit them again with the sleeve. Good luck to you.

No way, I'm too scared, I saw some lady on Dr. Oz though and she looked great. They took the fat from her waist, hips and transferred to her butt. She wanted a butt like J-Lo so she purchased one.

Give it some time and for your body and skin to adjust to the wt loss, the abdominal area is usually the last area you will lose fat from.

I'm sorry I don't know what that is but I am praying for you anyway. Sending hugs and prayers...

Yes, keep doing what you are doing, your body will catch up and start to lose again. It dosen't like to lose weight and is trying to hold on to that fat. You will see faster results and your stalls won't last as long if you crank up the exercise routine/intensity. Good luck to you and happy losing. Finally, stop weighing every day, put that scale away for a while and just weight yourself like once a week.

I think you are on the right track and thinking about exercise for the long term. Since I notice that you are in NYC it will be difficult to just get up and walk with all the congestion and all. May I suggest for you to do sometype of excercise in your house or apartment. There are lots of fitness dvd's, some free from the library and you can watch them on youtube. You can buy a few small weights and work the arms, shoulders, legs simple squats and arm raises at first. You can then progress to dips on your chair or do wall pushups. You can do zumba or simple dance moves to work up a good sweat. What about walking in your hallway or some stairs if they are safe and available. Put on your music in the house or put on your Ipod and just do (10 or 15 minutes at first) then workout longer as you start to gain endurance. You can walk for two minutes, do some wall pushups, walk for two minutes stop and do some bicep curls, walk/dance for three minutes, do some squats with your small weights and do it again, this is a simple circuit training routine. This will maintain your muscle strength, mass and build your intensity, which will burn the fat and help you lose weight faster while keeping you toned. Good luck to you.

Healthy Juices prepared at home in your own juicer this way you can have all the nutritional value of the veggis and fruits.
