Hey ladies!!
I weighed in at 179.6 today!! Woohoo!!! This time I am NOT going back to the 180's! Enough is enough! Everyone is doing so well! Keep up the great work!! Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Hello everyone My name is Tamara and I just joined Herbal Magic. I am still a little overwhelmed, scared, excited. I have done a lot of research online and have come across more negative then positive feedback when it comes to HM. I'm glad I've found this place and hoping with all of you that I can do it!

Hello all! Welcome all newbies! Just checkin in, lost another pound, yay!! Past goal now, woooohoooooo! Thats what staying on track gets ya! Cheers!!

Congrats Alberta - woo hoo!!!! And congrats to everyone with losses and welcome to newbies.

I know my centre doesn't love exercise (I think cause you can slow overall weight loss), but I personally love exercise - it's one reason I'm losing weight, so that I can exercise easier. Knees don't like hauling around 30 extra pounds. I have a scale that measures body fat, and i keep an eye on that instead of just weight. I've also found I lost a ton of inches when I started exercising again.

That said, I haven't done any exercise this week. I got a bad cold, so taking it easy. Didn't weigh in at the centre today, but home scale is looking good. Hope to be down at least 2lbs this week.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Stay good for the weekend everyone!

HMj.

Keep up the great work everyone.

Lauratigger that sounds like fun! Unfortunately my location just changed their hours and I can only get there 2 days a week. I wish they were open more.

So far so good for me. I've lost 3 lbs so far. I just can't wait to figure out the whole planning thing because there are quite a few times during the day that I find I am hungry. Still trying to balance everything properly. Really need to find some good dinner recipes so I don't have to cook seperate meals.

Good Monday morning everyone!!!

Well...Keith rocked it out Saturday night...it was an awesome show, so glad I decided to go!!! I am still feeling the effects though of it, we didn't get home until 1:50am...and I had to work at 6:30...I am too old for this kind of behaviour!! Supposed to be going to see Daughtry next month, I think I am only going to go if I can change my day off as I am supposed to work that morning after as well.....

I go for my WI here in about 20 minutes....I feel pretty good about it!!

Way to go everyone it looks like we are doing fantastic these days

Well I am off to finish getting ready...will be back when I get done all my running around.

So I have had a rough week. I was on Effexor and started to wean myself about 3 weeks ago. I forgot to take my pill on sunday night last week then decided tp just stop taking it cold turkey, wrong idea!!!! I felt like garbage all last week, sick to my stomach, dizziness, headaches, sleepiness, you name it I had it. So I was not eating on plan at all.

Today I started back. Things are going ok. I have a question though........ has anyone else taken Effexor and then stopped? How did you feel? Right now I am so aggrivated, I have a headache and I'm sure my blood pressure is through the roof. I have such a short temper and I get really frustrated really easy!!! I'm not sure if I should go back on it or what I should do.

My reasoning for coming of it was because I felt that my anxiety issue was under control and I also felt it may be making me hold on to some weight. It said in the list of side effects that weight gain or loss might happen!! Well I gained weight for sure!!

Help?

Wannabe...I am so sorry that you are having such a tough go!! I am no help to you at all as I have never taken anything like that, I hope someone here can help you out!!

Big hugs to you!!

179 LADIES......WAHOOO!!!!!!! I was down 1 and 1/4lb this morning...I am 1/4lb away from hitting 30lbs.....Our next weigh is this Saturday and I am hoping for a great loss!!!! Even to hit my MINI GOAL of 177 is great with me!! I will take anyting that results in a loss!!

Hope you are doing well, ALBERTA...WHERE ARE YOU??

Well I am off to fold a load of laundry, and swimming in 90 minutes...feels great to have this energy. I have to tell you though, I was not in the mood for the gym today, but once I got there, I FELT AMAZING!!!! I did 30 on the treadmill in total, 25 on the recumbent bike, and 2 on the elliptical...I don't like the elliptical at the gym, it is a short stride machine, I find it hurts my knees too much, they are supposed to be getting the long stride ones in after X-Mas.

Okay so NOW I am leaving.
