That's just cruel, they should at least respect that you don't want to watch them eat. I always stay in my room when my boyfriend and roommate eat. But just remember why you're in this journey. Remember you don't need that food.< /p>

@@carfeli2004 Things that help me are adapting my recipes.
Cauliflower makes a great 'rice', mashed 'potatoes', cheddar 'tater'-tots, 'mac' & cheese, etc......
Spaghetti squash (my fave is with my homemade fat free cheese sauce and maybe a turkey hot dog)
FF/SF Cannoli cream made with FF ricotta
Lasagna made with roasted slices of zucchini and eggplant
Flourless Protein pancakes with unsweetened applesauce on top
Dannon Light & Fit Greek yogurt
I even have some recipes for super decadent Protein muffins, brownies and cakes. Using either Protein powder and/or Beans
Quest bars and chips (did you know that if you cut up and bake a chocolate chip cookie dough one, it tastes like little chocolate chip cookies!!??, watch carefully when baking, they only take a few minutes)
If you want recipes, feel free to ask, I love to share!

Let me guess. You're eating either bread, Pasta, crackers, Cookies, processed foods or sugar. Or all of the above.
You know how I know? Those things cause cravings and hunger, and never satisfy.
I went through this a few weeks at Christmas time. I was RAVAGED with hunger, and no matter how hard I tried to resist, I would cave and eat the crap again. Luckily, I didn't gain because I kept excersising, but I had to break the cycle.
I decided January 1st to detox. Lots of Water, Protein and veggies with every meal (aside from a Protein shake for breakfast). NO sugar or processed food.
I'm on day 4, and not only have I lost a pound (I'm in maintenence), my cravings and hunger are gone and my restriction is even better. Once I got over the hump the first day or so, it was smooth sailing from there. I feel great.
Give it a try! Good luck!

I'm in the same boat with the slow weight loss but I do see a difference. I try to remind myself that you lose inches that the scale don't pick up. Your hard work will pay off

First off, you didn't have success with phentermine. You gained the weight back, didn't you?
Second, 20 pounds in 6 weeks is a perfectly acceptable number. I don't know what your stats are, but I'd be willing to bet you're a lower BMI. That always makes a difference in the rate we lose weight. Age and gender a are also good indicators of rate of loss.
What's your hurry? Will you turn into a pumpkin or something if you don't get to goal by a certain date?
It took me a year to lose 85 pounds, and an additional 5 months to lose 10 more. How long it took me doesn't matter one bit. The fact that I got there and am maintaining it does.
Just keep working your program, learn as much as you can about excersise and nutrition to be the healthiest you can be, and don't fret about how fast you're losing. It's negative thinking and counterproductive to you goals.

I had a wicked sinus infection that turned into bronchitis the day my endoscopy was scheduled. I called the surgeon and he didn't see an issue with placing me under anesthesia to do the scope. As bad as I felt, I pushed through driving 3 hours one way and waiting on him for four hours. It wasn't easy but I was glad to get it done. I don't think he will care about your toe.

I guys the surgery went great been home since thursday evening. trying 2 get down this Fluid & Protein Shakes it was hard trying 2 swallow. Not in alot of pain like it was wed after surgery. Just gonna take it easy. taking my kids out today my oldest deserve it

Good luck to you all! Can't wait to hear how it went.

I have my surgery tomorrow too Arrival time 5 am!

My date is tomorrow as well and I have to be at the hospital at the same time as you. Good Luck to you tomorrow....

We are planning a trip to Scotland in summer 2017. I am still pre-op but it will be happening hopefully this spring. I am looking forward to NOT using a belt extender on the flight, and being able to walk around the city without being in pain or out of breath. I love to travel, and am really looking forward to doing more of it!

1st thing for me playing with my kids & not b tired.

I'm going to start riding my horse as soon as I've lost enough. Because I'm too heavy for her at the moment.

Clothes shopping was definitely at the top of my list. The first time I realized I could shop outside the Womens/plus size section was AMAZING!

Take a family picture. I even have a beautiful frame purchased for it already. It's been 4 years since I let anyone take a picture of me. That is the first thing I'm going to do.

Well, I get my hair colored at a super-trendy little chic salon and I'm looking forward to the smock closing or coming close to having the sides below my chest actually touch or even close! It's the little things!

Learn how to swim and take my little boy swimming every weekend

I look forward to sleeping through the night without my sleep apnea. Also looking forward to my boobs being bigger than my belly. Currently, It's the other way around and I'm a high F bra size. Hopefully the bra size goes down with the weight loss.

T b able t put a lap tray down flat on a plane instead of it restin on my belly. Th simple every day things lol

Omg the towels!!! lol yes to have my whole body covered by 1 towel whew! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk

I thought about ordering this gorgeous dress that's much smaller, but I really want it and it doesn't come in any bigger sizes. I think I will just do it! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk

Today I was thinking about how nice it will be to use a normal sized bath towel instead of a beach towel...

I ordered a shirt that I really like in a smaller size.. soooo once I get down to that size.. I'LL BE WEARING THAT SHIRT !!!

What's the first thing you did or want to do when you lose the weight? I know for me, I haven't worn shorts in a few years, or a bathing suit so I look forward to shopping for cuter clothes!!! Since I gained weight I've hated shopping, it hasn't been fun so I look forward to shopping with my girlfriends again

@@amandastearns - you will be fine. being nervous is pretty normal for most of us. pain management I was lucky with because I really didn't have any. I only felt uncomfortable trying to lay back, after sitting on the bed. The solution was to sit down and lay to my side, and then rollover to my back. I took RXs for the two nights and then went OTC after that.
you got this!
