everyone THANKS!! i appreciate it alot, it really means alot to know people are rooting you on. lol, some of my own friends wouldnt even vote for me. lol, its okay though. but again thanks to whoever voted, i needed all the help i could get :) much love.

i appreciate the responses.  and that makes sence to me that after taking something for a period of time, your body will adjust BUT i do know that my dad is a doctor and people with severe weight problems (only in some cases) people can be described adderal. i peorsonally know one of my guy friends that was over weight at least 200 pounds and hes been taking it for a couple years and i would say, hes skinny...so it just bums me out bc it works well but i hate having to force myself to eat food. iv never had to do that

i appreciate ur response! helps me out alot. i guess i should just eat a big breakfast before i take my medicine and do what you said about the snacking during the day.

lol i agree with u about the vegas picture, i look like a boy :)

where did you get it!?!?!?    UH MAZING!

iv been in the same boat at you about 2 years ago. just for the record...your taking my words the wrong way. but you go playergirl, be ticked. and if i didnt care for carmenxox i would have never stopped and commented. whatever girls.

im sorry if this my sound rude but not intended to at all, but i think u need to focus more on your health still then you weight.

i know the topic very well. have u ever cinsider u have a problem stilll. your very thin. come on

what do you mean where can i buy vegetarian food? lol.....

are you just planning on eating boca burgers. what about veggies fruits oatmeal and ect.  not boca burgers 

marc- what is your statement trying to state? im missing it? that its blocking it for a reason lol?

im aware of how many people smoke. i was just saying on this site, because it does effect your appetite and i figured people wouldnt smoke for that reason. not that it has ever stopped. 

this thread is SO IMPORTANT TO ME. so i just got back from the doctor ( i made a visit bec hs 4 montause iv been feeling depressed for about 6 months now, and im almost 20)

i am 5 '3 and just got to my goal weight of 112 pounds. Well i havnt gotten my peroid in about 4 months so i am getting bood work done tomorrow to see if  anything is physically wrong with me....or if it was just caused by depression.

anyways, i knew going into this i probably needed anti depressants but the only thing i could think about was my mom always telling me she gained 40 pounds when she use to take it and how MORE depressed that would make me. like your peaches said.....my doctor said it doesnt change your metabolism, just maybe your apetite.

so please if anyone takes lexapro or of that sort, let me know how it has affected your weight...xoxox

Here were some of my dieting mistakes before I found this site, most of which sprung from the belief that "because it's from Whole Foods, it will help me lose weight":

• Frequent dinner: one avocado, spread across 5-6 large rice cakes or 10-15 smaller hors dourves crackers with shredded romano cheese on top. Little did I know this "light, healthy dinner" probably clocked in at around 600 calories
• Organic trail mix in laaaarge quantities
• A LOT of soy milk - the nonfat versions - in chocolate and vanilla. It's soy, which isn't milk, so it MUST help me lose weight, right?
• Cheese on crackers is a healthy snack that I should eat to hold me over for dinner.
• Even though it's ice cream, it's fine because it's Half Baked.
• Odwalla drinks and bars are very light and healthy.

Anybody else learn how ignorant they were before they started counting calories?

your actual stomach doesnt stretch at all. it doesnt get bigger or smaller. now, if you eat to much you will gain fat...

well when i started i wanted to get to 110, which is were i am, and i think im pretty satisfied were i am at so i havnt been trying to lose any weight for the past couple weeks. buuuut, im eating around 1300 to 1400, to just see how it effects my weight. i have 2 or 3 p(maybe 3) pretty intense workouts a week and work 4 times a week just standing all day. what do u think i should be eating...

oh and iv been wondering about this too. I know it takes 3500 calories to gain pound. but what i am confused about is does those extra 3500 calories start over from day to day or from week to week...

or does it work like say your suppose to consume 1500 daily and one day u consume 1700 and the next day 1600...so do those extra calories just add up within a period of time until you hit 3500 over and then gain that pound? lol does anyone understand my confusion??? thanks<3
