Thx for the feedback. I need to get back to this group to relate to others who have been on this journey!

Thanks for the post. Also do Not drink pop. The carbonation causes your stomach to stretch!

I haven't been on this site for quite awhile. I have spent 2013 binge eating. Weight went up to 147 from 117. The things that stopped me were a very good md and an 8 week workshop called "Am I...

I'm doing the Dukan diet which consists of 4 phases. I've lost 9 PDS since Saturday!

Not from the twin cities but from Mankato which isn't too far away.

Rhonda,
I got this tat when I hit my goal of 129. It's a visual reminder where I've been. I've gotten a lot of compliments and it reminds me where I don't want to be again (I've lost 100#'s 4...

Congrats on your wt loss. Try and focus on what youve accomplished. I tried the hcg and it didnt work at all. I've had the most success with "living clean" -- no processed foods, all natural, mostly...

I'm in. My weight has crept up 10 pounds and I'm scared of it going up anymore. I have Great days where I stay on plan 100%, then I have days (like today) where I eat all the crap (crackers, etc). ...

I dont think your getting enough calories in for the amt of exercise your doing. Cut down on fruits and eat vegs instead. Dont eat 3-4 hours before bed. You could always try the pouch test. Ive also...

I went to my first support group last night and the doc said that theres studies out that states you gain weight with crystal light. I gave up CL and lost 9.5 pds in 5 days

Congrats you're an inspiration! Way to go.

Thank you. I'm currently in a size 2. I don't ever remember being anything less than an 8.

Yeah! One Year down. Last year I was in Tijuana wondering what I had done and this year I'm almost 100 pds down.
I have changed my goal from 139 to 129 to 119 and now 113 so it's an even 100.
I...

Awesome - you're looking good.

The weight stays off after the pouch test IF you continue to follow the rules. I actually bought her two books "the 5 day pouch test" and "beyond the 5 day". Both...

I'll be praying that your surgery is approved. If it isn't you can always do self pay.

I have one on my L) inner wrist that I got when I reached my first goal (I'm now 21 pounds under my goal) that is a great visual reminder of where I've been and where I'm at. I also got one on my rib...

Thanks for posting the U Tube video on dry brushing. The several articles I read stated that you start with your feet and brush up towards your heart for circulation.
The reason I did the fast is...

I've read articles on dry brushing and "pooh poohed" it as not beneficial -- well this weekend I completed a juice fast and implemented dry brushing and lost 7.6 pounds! I'm now below my goal. I'm...

I was going to get lipo at jerusalem hosp but saw a surgeon here and he asked "why" theres no fat. He said I needed lipo Sculpture instead

I used my verizon phone and lap top and it wasnt that expensive. The recovery house has a land line where u can make and receive calls

crackers are what Kaye refers to in the "5 day pouch test" as "slider foods". They go down easy, can consume alot and no nutritional value. I would go to hrr website and try to eliminate carbs --...

Stalls and wt gain suck! But its a natural part of this journey. I try to focus on the positive and look at the wt that I've lost. Good luck and be nice to yourself

Way to go!! You must be on cloud 9 right now. Give yourself a hug, you deserve it

I feel for you. When my dad died I started my bingeing, starting with all the funeral bars. My dad and I had done diets together and I woke up one day thinking that he wouldnt want me fat, unhealthy...

I went to the thrift store yesterday to get smaller work pants. I picked up all 4's except for Jeans which were a size 2. Washed them and tried them all on this morning. They all fit!!! :D I have...
