Success2013

Are there any nurses who may have answers to my questions? I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks, I only took half last night and it got me to sleep, but I only slept 5 hours and then I was wide awake. Seems like I tried this years ago and it made me groggy the next day if I took the whole tablet and half wasn't enough. UGH! It's sad that I can relate to what Michael Jackson went through to get a decent nights sleep. I have some nights where no matter what I take, I stay awake all night. This happens about once a month. Need to maybe try Ambien or Lunesta again.

I don't know if it works, but if you look on Amazon you can get it a lot cheaper.

surgery was Jan 21st. I've lost a total of 27 pounds. starting weight was 232. I've been stalled at 205 for a couple of weeks. playing with 1-2 pounds up and down. I was getting discouraged and indulged in foods I shouldn't, but my mind is back on track. I WILL SUCCEED! maybe not at quickly as I planned, but I will get there!

I can be a testament to the fact that you can get much slimmer without actually losing pounds on the scale. Many years ago I was a police officer. I had to go through 3 months of VERY rigorous physical training. I didn't adjust my diet in any way. At the end of the 3 months training academy my uniform was falling off me. My belt uniform had moved over 4 notches in my waist. All those inches lost and I weighed exactly the same as I did at the beginning of the academy. But I looked great! Wish I had a drill Sargent yelling at me every day now. lol

thanks everyone for the info.

This made me laugh because a good frosted cake is my weakness!

I thought it might be fun to start a thread to make you laugh. I don't know about everyone else, but I need a daily dose of laughter and if its about weight loss it helps keep things in perspective (or not).

A huge Congrats on your successful journey! Can you offer any tips or advise? thanks so much!

Warning, don't jog in your panty hose.

So has anyone else tried this? can you share your story? I'm going to try it.

This kind of reminds me of "The Wendy Plan" on Weight Watchers. Basically it's about switching things up. Has anyone tried this? Success or not?

More humor.

Say what??? No wonder my WW pills aren't working.

I resemble that remark.

I can relate....

we can have fruit after our protein and veggies, some days I really need a glass of this liquid fruit.....jus saying.

some days I call my scale a nice name, other days it's a four letter word as the adjective.

Who knew?

that explains it!
