You have to be careful not to overeat. Being pregnant is not a "free-for-all". I'm preg with #5 (my first post-sleeve).. I'm still overweight, so I'm just going to eat normally--focusing heavily on...

I'll bet you mostly eat because you are hungry! But you'll find after the sleeve (I'm 1 year 3 mos out) you get satisfied so much easier. I find that sweets always make me want sweets more, but it's...

Before the surgery, I was scared. Scared of the side effects, of not being happy to eat what I wanted. Scared I would blow it and eat too much anyway and gain it back. Scared I would not get down...

Ive NEVER had trouble with dairy and I realize now that I do. Protein drinks with milk make me sick. ICE CREAM makes me sick. I drank 1/2 regular shake and got sick and threw the rest away. Before...

Others have said it all well..At first it would bother me a lot. I can eat a lot more now and can pretty much eat anything I want..now its mainly me, not by body, in control. I figure I can taste a...

The Cliff PROTEIN bars are so good. I've not had their equal in flavor, but they do have carbs. Ironically (since I love chocolate), I don't like the straight chocolate bars so much as their...

Great tip! These are the best sneakers I've ever had but they are feeling a little big--either my foot is shrinking or they are stretching..or both. I tend to overpronate (walk on the outer edges of...

I just got this cool catalog in the mail from Footsmart.com
PRETTY shoes that are designed to support the feet and lots of other footcare related pro.ducts

At the beginning of my working out I...

My sites are long closed and can still be sensitive. But it wouldn't hurt to have it checked out in case of hernia. Recovery takes time and it's weird...you're body isn't used to this kind of...

You will be fine! It's extra hard right now while your diet is so limited and the liquids aren't real satisfying. This is the first of many temptations. Tonight I ate a few tortilla chips craving...

yay! You did it!!

absolutely! I already need a counselor and I'm only halfway. You really really need to get rid of your 'fat issues' to ensure your weight loss maintenance. You have done AWESOME!! congrats to you on...

I hadn't ever heard of a mommy lift! I guess it's a combo of #1 & #2. Here's a link for those who are clueless like me:

In order:

2. Breast "reduction" aka lift
3. arms
4. thighs
5. lips (just...

my trainer says that the skin will tighten up some with our workouts. But I know someone who is super thin who still has lots of skin on her abdomen.

how do you do homemade body wraps?

[QUOTE=UK Tim;115748]>>>they both got boyfriends and let their husband.

Let their husband, as in rented him to someone else? Or let the same husband watch? I know you have different sexual mores...

I blamed a lot of my weight on my emotions and lack of self-discipline etc. but you know, a lot of it is just plain hunger. I haven't been able to lose weight easily, but I don't carry that...

I haven't done anything with another man. My husband is a nice man. My point is really that I am changing so much that it's confusing for me and will be confusing for him, too. And you need to be...

We have chore morning on Saturdays. Technically it's 3 hours long. So today I'm going to offer them to get off 30 mins early if they exercise on the wii. Gotta motivate them, too, right?? We're...

I didn't workout at first. Just wanted to heal.

Then I did Wii "walk it out." The most fun I've had working out. I pretty much danced through it. and learned that I crave dancing!!

Then I added...

Keep the posts coming..but thanks for the advice to me personally. We had an amazing time on Christmas break while he was home. And I love him...and want to continue to explore that in new ways....

I knew that losing weight would increase my self-esteem and boost my confidence, but it's brought forward an overwhelming amount of emotions.

One friend told me the two women who had the surgery...

I realize this applies to another thread, but I wanted to start a new one. I already had thinning hair BEFORE the surgery, but the surgery kicked it up a notch...after 3 months or so. I took the...

I've actually only lost that MUCH in the first month. 10lbs a month for me is as good as it gets! and I work at it. Maybe you're not seeing all the posts where someone doesn't lose a thing??? I lost...
