  • 16.4 lbs down...feeling better!

    I'm finally past the 15 pound loss mark. Its feeling pretty awesome! I'm wearing clothing I've not fit into since October! I'm still on my menstrual cycle, but losing weight daily. I'm quite eager to see what my finally loss will be once its over, and the water weight is gone.

    Hubby is on the road, so for now he can't say anything about the loss. I have dresses that will now need to be taken in, and others I will finally be able to wear again.......or wear for the FIRST TIME, as I continue to lose the weight. Those dresses are size 6 that I am able to wear again.....the other dress is a size 8 and fits lose everywhere now. *sigh* At least there's a seamstress a city or 2 away that can fix them for me.

    I'm glad I won't be picking kids up from school this year, looking like the 'fat mom'. Sounds bad......but I hated running into people this past summer in the stores, because they saw me last...I was in the 140-150's.....then they saw me this summer and I was 184! Disgusting!!! I couldn't take it anymore.

    The stuff from GNC suppresses my appetite, the adrenal stuff my chiro gave me also has been causing weight loss. When adrenals are messed up, people can put on weight. Since Ive been taking both, the weight loss is nuts! I'm very happy!!! laughing

  • I'm back! Good to see you here too....i've missed it...and I need the inspiration....love you. OK...so what are you taking? GNC ? and the adrenals? I need help! LOL

  • @RedlineAngel - I've missed you! Yes, I've been taking OxyElite Pro (90 caps) with L-carnitine, both from GNC. I was also drinking their Lean Shakes...but haven't done that in a while. I used that as a replacement for meals. Low in cals and carbs.

    I'm still using the the first 2 mentioned, but my chiro mentioned my adrenals could also be giving me issues, hence the reason I was stalling in weight loss. I use Adren-All (120 caps) from Ortho Molecular Products. When a woman's adrenals are screwed up, she'll collect body fat, especially in the abdomen. This stuff helps rid the body of the built up lactic acids and crud our bodies hold on to, due to stress. I discovered drugs.com has the OxyElite pro for less than GNC. Might still have the deal going on...won't know unless you check.

    That's pretty much it. Can't workout because of my back, neck and hips being out of alignment...so I'm just doing normal every day work around the house, consuming only negative cal foods.....and the weight is falling off. Once my cycle is over (hopefully soon) I will also lose water weight I'm holding on to with that. I could take a diuretic, but would rather not. I know it will come off once my cycle is over with.

  • I have about five different bottles of product...different things...I would start, get sidetracked then quit after a couple of days...almost all have the same generic ingredients. I am thinking I should go through them, take them up...and add the L Carnitine. I have that on hand. I like HMB and chromium...those always seem to help me...I have them on hand too...may add them. I have to do something. 

    But there again....going have to be sly about it...because its sure as **** that if he knows I am actively seeking it he is going to interfere.
    I did have to get back on thyroid pills....I am hoping it help me get some of this off...I am probably not on high enough dosage to make that much difference...though I do believe that not being treated for it for so long definitely contributed to not being able to lose. 

  • It could be, but I still think the adrenals are a HUGE part of why women can't lose. My friend was here yesterday, said she can't ever get below 184. She's always stuck right there. She's about 5'4-5'5, but doesn't look like she weighs that much. I would have not guessed her more than 170! She mentioned I looked like I had lost weight again. I told her I had, then she said her dr put her on prescription diet pills. I told her she needs to take the adrenal stuff I'm taking. It will cause her to be less sluggish, and she'll drop the weight quickly!

    Not sure if she'll do it or not. Hope she does, then she won't stop eyeballing me so closely. I know she's watching me too. I have 3 eagle eyes always watching my weight, to ensure I never reach 142 again. :o / I see pics of me from then, and realize, I really DID look sick. I have a large bone structure, so even 150 looks almost too thin on me. I have a very long torso (Swimsuits for 'talls' are too short...lol) and when I drop weight, Its usually in the abdomen that they notice I've thinned out. Even at 184, my stomach was flat. Weird, but true. My legs, hips and thighs take most of the weight. hahahaha Hence the fat pants I had to buy! They're folded and put away again now....I'm back in my old jeans, and hopefully they'll also be folded and put away soon, so my skinny sized 6-8's can come back out. I'm certain that at 150-155 if I tone up with walking, I'll be able to wear them again without problems.

    I SOOOO wish we lived closer together! We could totally kick each other in the butt! My hubby keeps trying to talk me into moving down that way.....in the winter......I'm all for it...but then spring, summer, and fall come around.........I just love it here.......its too beautiful to leave!  You never know......one of these days I might go along with his little scheme and pack the kids up. They've been begging to move that way for the last 2 years! They miss their Nana!
