  1. I'm interested. I don't have my date yet but I am in the process with Dr. Machado.
  2. Why not just reject the box from Nutrisystem when it arrives? They should give you a refund if you don't even accept it (less shipping). Also, that way, you won't have to pay for return shipping. Best wishes,
  3. I went to Curves five days a week for almost a year. Every single person that was there looked exactly the same as they did the first day I started there. I didn't change either. Based on the Runner's World calculator, at my weight, I would have to run 5 miles to burn 600 calories - consider that a fast mile at 10 minutes per mile = 50 minutes of running to burn 600 calories. I can tell you that I am shocked to hear that Curves counters say you can burn 600 calories in a half hour. Not saying it isn't true - just really shocked. Personally, I'd give Curves a skip and opt for walking/running/swimming or a traditional gym setting. Best wishes,
  4. I am so pleased you are doing well. Get a flu shot this year! That should ease your mind! Good for you! Best wishes,
  5. As a daughter who, at 16, ran away from home, stole money from my Dad and his car, said horrible things to my parents, got my stuff together, graduated with a degree in Psychology, went on to law school and have been in practice as an attorney for 8 years - I can tell you - ONE DAY THEY WILL APPRECIATE YOU. I promise. I still cringe when I think of what I put them through. Hang in there!
  6. Try looking here: Hormel.com - Product Locator Best wishes,
  7. Hi ashleigh, Perhaps ask your surgeon's office if they can put you on a liquid diet. Maybe call the nutritionist and tell her you've been following all the guidelines. Maybe make a food journal and send it over to her so she can review it and maybe make some suggestions for changes. I know my surgeon offers a liquid diet but she also doesn't require pre-op weight loss as a general rule. Best wishes,
  8. Hi there Machan, Why not talk to your therapist about it? Perhaps he/she can help you come up with a plan or maybe increase the number of sessions you have until you can sort through some of the feelings. I do the same thing, stuff away my feelings with food. I'm in therapy too and I really think that a therapist would understand about emotional eating and help you work through it. Best wishes,
  9. I'm so sorry to hear that. Whatever you do, do not cancel you current insurance without getting another insurance policy in place. I was denied health insurance due to my weight when I tried to get an individual plan. At the time, I weighed 210 pounds. The insurance carrier suggested I get on my state's high risk waiting list for health insurance and I was told that it could take a year before I get insurance. Having been an insurance adjuster, I can tell you that if there is no coverage on a policy - they will not find coverage. Maybe consider some of the suggestion about Credit Care and/or Mexico? Best of luck,
  10. Hi there, I quit by hypnosis. Cold turkey - no cravings for cigarettes at all. It was awesome! Took 3 sessions.
