Splenda, Splenda, Splenda. Only enjoy chocolate once a week now. Hmm, maybe that's why I get depressed? Chocolate withdrawals!

I too gained (30 pounds) when I quit 2 years ago. sm
What worked for me is the CORE weight watchers plan (no counting of points). It is amazing how much you can eat and feel satisfied. It is really not a diet but more a way of eating healthy. It isn't Atkins or South Beach, as you get to eat carbs such as ww pasta, potato, brown rice etc. It is very healthy and satisfying. The weight just fell off of me 2 to 3 pounds per week. I decided I couldn't see my self 'dieting' or counting points for the rest of my life, but I could live with eating healthy. This plan is the BEST I ever tried, and believe me, I tried them all. Good luck with losing the weight. It is great that you are smoke-free now.
Yes, I lost 42 pounds on LA Weight Loss, but gained back 50 a little more than a year later . .
I was on the program for approximately four months and lost 40 pounds. The weight did come off really fast. At the time I was a member, there was a rebate if you kept the weight off for one year. It sounded good, but you had to buy the supplements for the entire year, which by the end of the year added up to a few thousand dollars.
In any case, after I finally lost the weight, I got pregnant with my fourth child. I am now trying to lose the 50 pounds that I gained while pregnant, but my metabolism seems so much slower now. The weight isn't coming off nearly as fast as before. :(
44 pounds in 1 month is doable when you start out at over 400 pounds.
It still counts, though, so Martha, you are doing a wonderful job. Keep it up the diet and exercise especially. Those pounds are going to melt away! You can do it!
Perhaps she gained muscle mass SM
You can change your body compostition drastically and not lose or gain much weight if you replace a lot of fat with muscle. She said her clothes fit better so I am assuming that is what happened. Sounds like she is doing great to me!
I actually gained weight with Estrin-D even though
My mood swings were awful and I started having night sweats which I never had before and have not had since even though I'm perimenopausal. It DOES make you not want to eat but my mood swings were assauged by binge eating to make me more emotionally stable.
It isn't worth it and I still have 3 unopened bottles.
I've been on it.. and I have gained weight...
also while I've been on it, I have started working 2 full time jobs, stopped my exercise routine and gotten into bad habit of eating whatever due to stress!! So, I can't say the weight gain is caused by the Lexapro. I thought, though, that it was one of the lesser evils on the weight gain issue, not like Zoloft.
NO, But would love to learn more (just gained 30 lbs)
Phentermine isn't easy to find. Docs think it is a dangerous drug but I think carrying this weight (I quit smoking..) is just as hard on my 48 yr old body as phen would be.
I have a friend who lost quite a bit of weight but gained it back.

PS: I've left my bad situation, but am afraid the issues I gained

10 pounds
The last 10 pounds are so hard to lose, so you'll have to really watch your diet here, incorporate some weight training, lots of water, more protein and less carbs. Do cardio first thing a.m., 30 minutes or so 3 days a week. Here is a link that has some ways to find out how much you burn, etc. http://www.nutristrategy.com/activitylist4.htm
I am real too at 96 pounds. I would never let myself get that fat.

I have and think it is really cute. I just wish pounds
would melt off me like the snow melts off the little boy LOL!!!
I used to be 235.5 pounds and now weigh 115.5 (sm)
I am in the process of registering with the weight loss registry. I couldn't believe there was one! I did the yo-yo dieting forever. My recommendation to you is to scare yourself into the weight loss. Go get some labs done, etc., and find out how scary some of those numbers are. I personally had a scare, and that's what led to my weight loss. I've kept it off for a year and a half, including through a pregnancy. The weight loss registry has found that those who lose weight and kept it off have been essentially scared into it.
Good luck!
Bluefish and about 2 pounds of it. nm

My cat is 13 pounds and she just fits in the....
Sounds like a 27 pound cat might be too big for the litter boxes with the covered housing/top. My cat just fits into this regular sized one. Suggest you either get a bigger litter box system or have one built. A 27 pound cat is a HUGE (loveable) cat who needs above-normal sized cat box.
Just my 3 cents as a CAT LOVER!!! *S*
Absolutely! I have 2 over 50 pounds...gee!

She looks really bad, IMO. She looked good about 50 pounds ago
I lost 22 pounds on it in one month!

Took it for about 4 months and lost over 40 pounds after
Phentermine is the generic, I beleive. You can order it in 3 months supply and it is cheapest. The only bad thing I have to say about it is that it WILL make you moody beyond belief!
105 pounds is definately not overweight
for someone who is 5'4". What was he smoking?
My vet told me kitty has to be over 3 pounds--sm
before it can be spade, but since most kitties don't get adopted as soon as they are 6 weeks old, I think that is just a standard on the SPCA site you visited. I waited until my little girl kittie was 6 months old before I had her spade. If the SPCA is specifying six weeks after adoption, it is probably because they are offering some kind of discount if it is done by then.
Gain 100 pounds! That's pretty sad that anyone
would want to LET themselves go like that!
I hope you're kidding, but in some ways, I do know that transcriptionists sure do gain A TON OF WEIGHT!
I do Leslie Sansone's Walk Away the Pounds...
The tapes are really easy, just walking in place, kicks, knee lifts, and jogging moves. A 15-minute "walk" equals 1 mile. So I type for an hour or so, then do a mile, type for another hour or so, then do a mile. It actually makes me type faster.
Yes I tried Trimspa and like Anna Nicole lost 55 pounds. nm
