I have an IUD and I had a few very heavy periods right after surgery. It's because as you are losing fat, your body is being flooded with estrogen, which is contained in your fat cells. I've...

Today I reached a goal I've been working towards for quite awhile. 100 lbs down and wonderland on the same day. It's taken me almost 16 months. It took longer and was harder than I imagined it would...

Yes, the tape does fight off the fear-most of the time. Congrats on your progress! All forms :)

MollyMoo take heart, you will lose. Keep doing what you are doing. Don't up your calories yet. Just focus on your protein, water, yada yada yada. When I had my surgery, I lost weight the first...

Unless you already had some problem with thinning hair, I don't believe your hair will not grow back. I've done a few hard-core crash diets in my life, and always lost my hair in gobs about 2 months...

Mine started falling out in gobs at 3 months and stopped at about 10 months post op. I have a good 2-3 inches of regrowth now too.

That's quite an achievement! Really! And you look fantastic and I loooooooove that purple dress!

Congratulations! You look awesome!

You look great! Congratulations!

That is so awesome! Congrats!

I posted this in response to another post- but it's something I've always wondered:

Which is it?

Is it a "Three week stall," or is it a "Week 3 stall?" Because I have seen both of those thrown...

Is it a "Three week stall," or is it a "Week 3 stall?" Because I have seen both of those thrown around simultaneously on this site and they mean different things. Or they are vastly different to...

I had pain right under my breastbone- sometimes it went straight through to my back. It was my gallbladder. Don't wait to get checked out as long as I did, hoping it was something else. I got...

Congrats! I started crossfit a few months ago. I HATED it at first. It was so hard. But I LOVE it now! It has really kept me going when I didn't see the scale move, I could still measure my...

Congratulations on reaching your goal!

It took me 3 months to lose what you've lost in 6 weeks. See what I did there- I compared. That's no good. It makes me feel bad when I do that. But it's hard not to, I admit. But do try! Lol. ...

Congratulations! I got that call around this time last year- so exciting!

Really inspirational- you help us slower-than-most losers to keep the faith. It's possible! Thank you! And congrats!

Paradoxgal, I am really happy for you! I look forward to seeing your pics. :) Congratulations!

I hit my first stall on day 8. It lasted almost 4 weeks. Hang in there. It's miserable (stalls), but it will move...eventually. I would tell you to stay away from the scale but I know it's futile. ...

Wow! That is an amazing accomplishment! Be proud :)

If a drowning person found a piece of wood to hold on to as they try desperately to swim to dry land, is that taking the easy way out? Does he not still have to swim and fight against the current to...

I had VSG in December 2013. A few weeks later, I had a horrible pain under my sternum for one whole day. Six weeks after that, the pain came back and kind of stayed with me, kind of up and down in...

Congratulations!

Good luck to you both! That's awesome!
