Some things are just out of your control like where you lose and sagging skin. My advice is to enjoy the journey and try not to worry about things too much. You are off to a great start!

Glad you got some protein in there. Keep the good work up.

I use any low fat different Kraft cheeses and I love baby bell light. I absolutely hate fat free cheeses.

I don't eat frozen meals either but I used to like kashi and Amy's. I have a friend who loves the healthy choice steamers.

How do you carb cycle when only eating 3half cup meals?

I agree with miralax and also probiotics and my mom and all her friends are doing chia seeds in yogurt. My nurse called chias the new designer fiber.

Mine is on left side under ribs and for some reason it has tilted. Makes it a b***h getting the needle in it.

Awesome!!

In my opinion a fill should be what you at after you take a look at what you are eating and how much your drinking etc. it should not always be the first go to.

I suffer from chronic dry mouth and lips .I have been to my gp and my dentist and have researched on the internet. There are products you can try like biotene who offer a mouthwash, gum, toothpaste, a gel you can put on your tongue and a mist you can spray in your mouth. You can chew gum or even get mints from the vitamin shoppe where the fist ingredient is xylitol. This is a sweetner that helps saliva flow. I chew ice cubes gum by icebreakers or you can get some from vitamin shoppe or even amazon. I have tried script mouthwashes several and the best thing that works is swishing your mouth with mylanta. I use the cherry generic from cvs and you can use as needed. It coats your tongue and brings relief for short periods. This not always caused by dehydration. It can be meds that you were on that are reacting to your lesser calories. I drink tons of water a day and it doesnt help at all. Right now my tongue feels like the top was stripped off . Also if you are a smoker that should be the first thing you change. Smoking will only make it worse. sorry you are all having trouble I hope this information helps you.

It's my experience that the roasted chickens are loaded with sodium. Many are injected with it for flavor when cooked. Google sodium in store bought roasted chickens. Lots of info comes up.

I have a recipe group on Facebook. If you want to join friend me at Hely lb and send me a message. Not a support group.

I cook something big once or twice a week and eat for my meals. Lucky I don't get bored. Chilli, stews and make up stuff etc. That way I control the sodium. I also use frozen onions, peppers ect to cook with.

Just because you can doesn't mean you should. At least that is what I tell myself.

I have met quite a few that have lost more than 200lbs. If they can do it so can everyone else. Just have to put inthe work!

I think 45 minutes is to long. I think it's 20 to 30 minutes. I was eating longer to but I read different in here and also from my nurse.

I was told the same as Mis.

I never had problems taking pills just did them slow and one by one. Please do not crush or cut any pills without checking with your pharmacist or doctor. I know extended release meds cannot be cut but there are also others. It just takes a phone call and it is well worth it!

I'm suprised no one else is suggesting that you make sure to get enough water or liquids. They can help you feel more satisfied between meals.

Make sure you are eating solids and slowly plus get in all your water.sometimes when you are hungry you really need liquids.

I love it too and I think it's a little smaller than the others.

I hate weight watchers. There are to much free choices.

This is to the restriction part of your post. I dont count calories just measure everything. If you are hungry make sure you are eating the right kinds of foods. Solids not shakes or yogurts or stuff like that. Make sure you are eating slow. Also make sure you are drinking enough water. Liquids help getting and keeping you satisfied. If I am hungry and not time to eat I drink first then if still hungry I get a healthy snack. Best of luck!
