Mom I will really have to look up the clean eating. As for the muffin top.. I wear a body suit from cupid that I get at Walmart and it works miracles.. have you tried them?

[momof5 0]

No I haven't tried them but I will check it out!

I didn't have this muffin top when I first lost because I had cut out all my carbs and most sugars because I couldn't tolerate them. But once I got the unfill, could eat that stuff again then gained some back, it all went there:(

Do check out the clean eating. Is is easy. Simply trying to eat things that aren't processed and don't have extra sugars. I picked up a clean eating magazine at the grocery store today. All I know is that it can't hurt....

Have any of you seen the study about women eating eggs? It shows that women who eat two eggs each morning stay fuller longer, eat fewer calories during the day and lose more weight than those who ate other things for Breakfast. Thought it was interesting.

[Brandy~ 2]

Mom~ I have heard something about that. I wasn't sure the quantity of eggs you had to eat. But I believe it because if I eat 1 egg im stuff till lunch.

If I get down time here at work I am gonna check out the clean eating.

Wow we did a good job logging lately there was even a day or 2 where we had 5 of us

Lets log some food!

[Guest Leslie2Lose]

I haven't been able to eat anything for two days - comes back up. I'm not too tight. Nasty stomach bug - which the kids have too and DH. So I haven't logged anything...figured it was futile.

Aww hope you feel better soon Leslie

I can finally post! It wouldn't let me on at all yesterday!!

L2L - I hope you feel better soon! I hear it's really going around.

Mom - glad you are giving the clean eating a shot. It really does work and I notice a difference in my skin. If you got the same magazine I did (Oxygen Nutrition), the curry recipe in there is delicious.

Brandy - I too wear a control garment. I just have so much extra skin, unless I'm wearing a T-shirt, it's a must.

I'm still stuck between sizes. My size 16 jeans are huge, especially in the booty and legs. I look like I'm wearing a diaper. Not pretty! However, the 14's still do not look right. It's so annoying. I have all of these pretty tops and no pants to wear. I'm grateful to have this problem and I know I'm loosing inches. It's coming off, I can feel it, but it would be nice not to have to go pantless in the winter months! LOL! Yeah, how's that for a nice mental image?!?

Hey, Turler, where are you? I hope you are well!!

Have a great day everyone!!!

[Brandy~ 2]

I feel naked without my control garment now. It smooths everything out so great and no more muffin tops thankfully.

I know what you mean about the jeans fitting right Bea. I think I lost alot in my lower but upper thigh area cause I wear a 14 and they fit great when I get them on.... After a few hours it looks they are 2 sizes too big. I have tried different brands and styles etc I cannot get a right fit

Bea - wondering where you were! Glad you're back on....

I wish someone would come out with jeans that actually fit a real woman with curves! It's either too loose or skin tight. Where's the happy medium. But I am LOL at the no pants idea...have you tried leggings? My friend has tried to talk me into them, since all the tops this winter are long but I feel like I'm on a trip back to high school.

I saw the mag you were mentioning but didn't get it, I'll have to tomorrow. I did get the actual Clean Eating mag. It has some GREAT recipes. I did do good today and haven't missed the "regular junk" I normally eat. I've had more energy too.

L2L-PLEASE be careful...I had the stomach bug and then after a week had all the problems and then the unfill. My Dr. said that when I get a bug I need to call asap to get a small unfill so that things don't get aggrevated. I will definitely call next time! So, you might want to check with your Dr. to make sure he doesn't want to do anything.

Brandy - I am heading to Walmart tomorrow to find the garment you're talking about. Hope they have it. You said it is by Cupid? Is it high waisted briefs, a full body suit, or what? I want to get the right one!

[Brandy~ 2]

Mom this is the one I wear

They have a few different styles but I prefer the 1 piece swimsuit type one and it hold everything in hehe.

The ones that look like shorts and go all the way up to your bra begin to roll down my back as the day goes on so I don't like them.

The body shapers that have underwire bras look crappy on me and never fit right. This one doesn't have underwire just cups so I wear a push up bra sometimes with it if I want a lift.

I think I pay 16 bucks for them and they are in white and black.

LOL! I know what you mean. I'm not sure I want to go there. If I see legwarmers, I'm done! I always feel self conscious in leggings, like I'm naked or something. I went shopping a couple of weeks ago and was actually horrified at all the 80's style clothes that were on the racks...horizontal stripes, skinny jeans, and {{{gulp}}} crochet and knit tops and sweater vests! Now, if only big hair would come back in, I'd be set!! I mean really, can't anyone come up with anything original? Why do we have to keep going back in time! I have enough scary pictures from the 80's, don't need to do it again! Anyway, that's my rant for the day! :w00t:

[momof5 0]

THanks Brandy. I will be trying it tomorrow! I'm glad it is the full type because I do have the brief type and it rolls on me too. Not to sexy looking with a spaghetti noodle rolling down my back!

[Bea1128 1]

I'll have to try one of those now too. I've tried the full body type before and they never fit quite right. I'm top heavy. I just get the ones that come up under my boobs and then cut the legs off so I can wear it with pants, etc. I find those give me a shaplier figure and waist. I can't wait to get to the day when I can just put on a pair of pants and not have to worry about tucking everything in or sticking out in places. I also have to wear one when running as it's very uncomfortable otherwise.

[Brandy~ 2]

I am top heavy too but these work well for that. I am a DDD but fit fine into the D.
