| Weight Loss | Wellbutrin? | Apr 14 2009 21:51 (UTC) |
1 |
I've been on Wellbutrin for about 2 years and I swear it made my weight loss soooooooo much easier (they are researching it as a weight loss script!). Sometimes when I would have a bad week it's like the Wellbutrin did some extra work for me & I wouldn't gain I had that EXTREME itching for about a week, I just kept a bottle of aloe vera close and got through it, but other than that, nothing but feeling NORMAL and like my old self, plus losing 30 pounds! Also, I can't take it after noon, or I'll get jittery & can't sleep. Other than that, Wellbutrin (XL) has been the greatest thing for me in a decade. I would never take anything else since all the other anti-d's act differently and (IMHO) have side effects I could never tolerate. I'd encourage you to stay on it, your side effects should be gone in a week or two. There are several topics on this (listed under bupropion). Also, I wanted to mention that Wellbutrin is supposed to be very effective at stopping addiction..... I was pretty addicted to food (binging, over eating, emotional eating) so this broke my bad habit! |

| Weight Loss | stomach and stretch marks after losing | Apr 14 2009 21:37 (UTC) |
21 |
I have them all over my legs/thighs and have started doing this, it's helped so far and have only been doing it for a month! First of all, I tan. IT WORKS. I only go for 7 minutes at a time about twice a week and have noticed a huge difference! Next I researched what helps stretch marks and combined a bunch of them together in a container (I was amazed how many products I already had in my house!) I used a regular lotion with shea butter (or cocoa butter) and the nivea good-bye cellulite as a base, then added in retin-a (prescription), emu oil, vit E capsules (broken open), pure aloe vera plus a few other things I'll add if I remember! Don't forget, remember to exfoliate and rub the area well to simulate blood flow/circulation! |

| "I'm misses 'she too fat now she's too thin'..... you want a piece of me?" lol I think she's fine weight wise, her life is totally messed up, but I really wish people would just let her BE.... make a few more albums and drop away into has-been status and just live out the rest of her life in peace. Poor Britney! |

| Weight Loss | frozen meals | Jan 27 2008 21:47 (UTC) |

| wow, yeah! I am eating a frozen dinner now.... only 200 calories but 880mg (37%) sodium!!!!! holy crap!
I really do like a lot of different frozen dinners, they fill me up, taste good and I always pick ones under or around 300 calories. I've always had too much sodium/salt in my diet though, so I guess I need to work on that. Are there reduced sodium frozen dinners??? |

| The Lounge | Braces Anyone? | Oct 15 2007 19:42 (UTC) |
9 |
| I'm 27 and got my braces on in June. I'm hoping to have them off in about 2 years (so June 2009) but who knows.
It's only been 4 months and I've seen a lot of improvement already! I'm happy I got them but wished I would have got them when I was way younger. Anyway, yes you have to wear a retainer for at least a year after your braces are off and usually the ortho will tell you if you need to keep wearing it or if they need to put in a permanent one behind your teeth later. :D |

| Weight Loss | Eating and calories when you are sick?? | Oct 14 2007 23:44 (UTC) |

| I'm sick right now and I'm trying to maintain my current weight so it's been hard. I bought a jug of orange juice and I've been trying to drink that as much as I can, as well as little food stuff whenever I can as well.
I wouldn't worry about one day being way under, just try as best you can to get enough into you the rest of the days you feel crappy! |

| I have this problem as well! People ask me how I lost so much weight, then argue with me that it's the wrong way to do it!
I sit there thinking, I've lost 20 pounds, you've lost NONE - who's diet is better.... hmmmmmmm Just ignore them! |

| The Lounge | sex: how often? | Sep 20 2007 17:06 (UTC) |
19 |
| I didn't read the replies yet (but I intend to now).... For me is about once a week, which is a HUGE MASSIVE improvement. It used to be about once a month or less. I've been with my bf for about 5 years, living together about 4 years. No kids. Nymo: your story sounds WAY too similar to mine, to the point where my heart hurts for you. :( It's your birth control. I can understand why you are on it, but are the benifits really worth your relationship with your husband??? On depo there's like a 60% chance of your sex drive going to ZERO. There are other methods, please talk to doctors until one of them doesn't dismiss this problem! |

| yup, the colon clense is a big scam! they charge up to $1000 a session and can actually harm you (as users have mentioned, you remove needed bacteria)! | |||

| I can't log it every day (I would drive myself crazy!!!)... but I usually try and be/stay at a weight for about a week before I log it right now..... is this okay? | |||

| sometimes they do make you gain (regular AD's)
and some make you lose weight (buproprion) so really it depends on which one you are on! |

| I have to agree with many people here: religious groups/people.... immigrants who never bother to learn a word of english.... most vegetarians/vegans..... everyone who voted for G.W Bush (either time).... AND, people like kindoflikesarah, who are the worst of them ALL. OH OH! People who don't shop at wal-mart for whatever reason they think makes sense but actually doesn't...... and people who think pot is evil or bad. |

| The Lounge | Boyfriend trouble | Sep 03 2007 16:08 (UTC) |

| Your boyfriend is going to brothels..... of course he's going to hide it! It would be something that guys would hide 100%!
It's actually a common problem in relationships, so please don't think your boyfriend is "gross" or strange..... prostitutes are there because there is a demand for them! But a poster here was right, at least he's going to brothels & not getting them off the street, but it's still dangerous! He's not going to own up to it.... so you'll either have to accept it, or leave him. |

| Health & Support | Has anyone lost weight with Bupropion SR | Aug 29 2007 22:34 (UTC) |
33 |
| XL releases over the day, SR does not (need to take more pills to distribute the drug over time). The generics are only made in SR format at the moment.
Normal adult dosage is 300mg/day of wellbutrin/buproprion.... Generics are technically supposed to be the same as far as the drug goes..... but usually they will carry them in different dosages. :D |

| chinkes, that sounds like a good plan! I've also heard that coming off of AD's is really hard, hope you're doing okay! I haven't been on anything else. I actually didn't know I was having attacks (I thought there was something wrong with my chest/breathing, lol) but figured it out. Since it would be my first time on them I researched everything and found wellbutrin to be the only one that I would be willing to try, since all the others were WAY too harsh & the side effects were really bad. My doctor tried to give me effexor & I flat out refused! Good luck to you, keep us updated (I've added you to my friend list) ;) |

| ricen, I liked your reply.
I'm common-law married..... not sure if I have a loophole there. But I'm not crazy christian by any means. I think I'm actually now about 99% athiest, as I've gotten older I've learned what's real & what's not real. Most stuff I figured out before I was like 8 years old (Santa, Easter bunny, tooth fairy, etc) but the God thing stuck around for a bit longer. I just couldn't take the people anymore really. No one can just be a good Christian and keep it to themselves & their own family.... they have to push it on other people, and are shocked that others don't think exactly like them. Billions of people in the world but everyone should think like them...... it's ridiculous. Arguing about religion is like beating a 5 year old at a game, not very satisfying! ;) |

| Weight Loss | Has anyone ever said this to you??? | Aug 25 2007 05:31 (UTC) |

| I get this too, but usually they DO ask how I lost the weight...... then when I tell them, they will basically correct what I said or say I am wrong.
I lost weight, they haven't, they asked me how they could do it, then didn't take my advice. ooooooookay! People are strange ;) |

| The Lounge | I have relationship troubles...Help? | Aug 25 2007 05:18 (UTC) |

| The honeymoon stage can last as long as you want it to! Less than a year and he's already taking you for granted? pfffft. I'm going on 5 years soon and we still swoon over each other. I said today that on another forum (that is all guys) it's nice to be adored, he said "I adore & worship you!"...... awwwwwww Anyway, I'd have a sit down talk with him. Do that word play thing where you say how you feel with "I" statements & don't use "you" and don't attack, ie: 'I feel like we don't treat each other the same, I feel hurt when ______, I would like _____', you know how it goes. Just stay calm & make sure he knows you don't want to fight, just figure out the situation. If he's into music, find songs/lyrics that kindof express what you're thinking that way. You are 17 and that's a crazy time..... I know you are in love but sometimes people aren't ment to be together. If he takes issue with the fact he hasn't dated other girls, eventually it will become a HUGE issue and you'll end up in an on again off again thing like schmee mentioned, which is NOT fun. You deserve a great guy who will support you and be interested in you, whatever you are doing! This should be the best time in your life, don't let him bring you down! |

| Health & Support | Has anyone lost weight with Bupropion SR | Aug 25 2007 04:49 (UTC) |

| chinkes: I'm taking the name brand, wellbutrin XL. There's a few generics of buproprion now but they are all SR's.
I started taking it to help with my panic/anxiety attacks that were really taking their toll (twice a day & they kept me from falling asleep). I only found out about the weight loss side effect (which is only 30% so it's not a for sure thing!) after. Lyn915, I would encourage you to please read a posting before judging or replying. No one is taking this drug as a weight loss aid, we are just discussing if we believe it has helped or not while we have been on it. I will have just as much control over what I eat when I go off this drug as I do now, thank you very much. |

| Chinkes: I tried 150mg a day for over 2 months just to make sure I didn't have any side effects (I didn't) but it also didn't help...
Once I went up to 300mg a day things started to improve much faster! Now I feel better and I swear, I don't know how much of it is the pill and how much is me, but no matter what I do I keep loosing weight! Almost 20 pounds in 8 months so far.... Some people take 450mg a day, but I am doing well on 300 so I'm staying on that. Apparently 150mg a day is only supposed to be for people under 16, or for the first month or two. |

| Weight Loss | How do I STOP IT! | Aug 15 2007 18:13 (UTC) |
4 |
| My tip is to stop thinking of pizza as evil!
Dab it, get the excess oil off, take off any high fat items (bacon, etc) and don't feel bad! Usually a slice of pizza has like 250 calories or LESS! That's not too bad is it? Have it with lots of water, add it to your log and don't think that it has ruined your day, just think that you had a special treat and it was yummy! |

| Weight Loss | When you're on your period... | Aug 15 2007 18:05 (UTC) |
21 |
| so that's it then, during the 7 or so days of your period you go up (1-5 lbs) and THEN 4-6 after go back down? so for about 11 days a month we are up from period weight? Or is it just the 7 days OF our period?
ARGH, that means I need my period to come TODAY...... |

| it's rude to me people who protest stores without knowing anything about them....
don't agree with the morning after pill? huh? yes, we NEED more unplanned/teen pregnancies! YES PLEASE, bring on the unwanted babies that have parents that can't provide for them in any way (unless they get a job at walmart maybe) or end up abused. Lets get rid of the morning after pill altogether, bann it! Let the abandoned children fill up the orphan and group homes & suffer their whole lives - YAY!!!! kellygreen, sorry but wal-mart in the US & Canada started carrying the morning after pill over a year ago. The women who buy it have to read a pamphlet & speak with the pharmacist about what it may do (make them super sick). I'm in total shock. And boy am I ever glad I live in Canada. |
