Health & Support	Fasting, doctor's orders	Nov 13 2009 15:56 (UTC)	6
I just had abdominal surgery last Friday and had to fast for 2 days before and the entire day of including afterwards, it didn't hurt me- I got moody and hungry but I did drink broth and clear juices, even a little green jello made its way in, but I actually felt great after- and still a week later feel great- I didn't even gain back the couple of pounds that I lost from it- hell it may have broken through the stuck spot on the scale. My husband fasted for 3 days for a stomach issue pretty recently and has faired well too, if the doctor advised it and you drink enough to feel full- or at least not empty, it may help, if it gets to be too much then stop and go bland with the food. I am no doctor but have been advised to do it and it isn't terrible. Good luck to you and I hope you feel better soon!

I have been counting and exercising and haven't lost an ounce in weeks- so my theory at this point is why bother? Eating the 1200 calories and walking and swimming and chasing 3 kids works as well as appetite suppressants and ice cream sundaes. Congratulations to those of you that are losing and getting nearer to your goals.
Weight Loss	Any Phentermine users out there?	Apr 20 2009 11:28 (UTC)	14
I had a ton of success with it a few years ago 70+ lost in 6 months and I had kept it off for years. I am currently trying it again but had to get it online which is pricey and a little nerve racking.. thanks- I will try the clinic here near me.

my problem is finding a dr that will actually give in and prescribe it.

it is Sat morning and I weighed in at 173.8 I did do a ton of sit ups yesterday and I am PMSing I think- so maybe next week will be better- I stayed in my range and did some exercise for most of the week.
Fitness	Anyone on their journey with out the use of a gym?	Apr 03 2009 12:01 (UTC)	7
we have been using the Wii fit it is so fun and I am actually sore after doing about 30 minutes a day. I have 3 kids who are 10, 7, and 17months, so I don't exactly have time to get out of my house to do much. A few years back I worked at a curves- best job ever! I wish I could go back there but with lack of a sitter and an unpredictable work schedule of my other half we are just struggling here finding different ways to deal- I have exercise tapes to do too- and oddly enough the Richard Simmons one happens to be my favorite- I think I dig the cheesy factor.

at my heaviest I was 220. my smallest I got down to 129 and looked a little sick- I will be happy to come close to that though- my suggested weight is 123- in reality- with having put this body through 3 kids and yoyo diets I am grateful to be doing this right with similar folks and the support I don't think I had before.

I took phentermine for about 6 months and lost about 100 pounds in that time- I kept it off until 5 years later when I got pregnant- I tried to use it again but it is damn near impossible to get and I am not sure if I got the real deal- this time is hasn't done anything for me.

Weight Loss	Slendertone belt, anyone tried it??	Mar 27 2009 19:00 (UTC)	2

is it really tossing it away if it works and you feel good about it? I don't drink and I don't smoke- and so the money that would have been spent on those vices has gone towards a flatter tummy- sorry if you don't think this stuff works- have you tried it? or are you just generally negative on having a little help?

no where in the ads does it say that this thing will burn your fat- it does say with proper diet and exercise it will help tone you- no one is selling miracles.

I have been using one for about a year and it absolutely works. and the more weight I lose the more results I can see- instead of being left with the saggy empty skin on my belly it is relatively firm- and you increase the strength of the contractions- it isn't painful and it is as effective a sit ups- just without the back and neck strain.

I had pain in my leg and wrote it off as I was doing too much- eventually I couldn't put any weight on it and wound up with a blood clot the length of my leg- be careful with pain.
