My year at a glance....  (not in order)

Did a marriage group with my husband that was pretty intense (last Jan through May) learned a lot! 

Started school at the institute of integrative nutrition in May

continued on in learning healthy eating and lifestyle habits, lost some more weight and clothing sizes

went to Florida in April and spent 4 days at a resort on the beach (my hubby was awarded this trip from his employer)

started to see clients for my health coaching biz in Oct (loving it!)

started a New church in April

Kids are healthy and well, marriage is thriving, continued to heal from some of lifes most devastating set backs and losses...

God is good! Looking forward to him doing a new thing in 2013! Oh yes.....

 

Hubby surprised me with a trip to Hawaii this Christmas! We are going in March!

Topic: Herbalife

Anyone doing it and want to buy some from me?  I have lots of sealed unused stuff.  My dietician hates it and basically ordered me to quit it.  Thanks!

Topic: New Years NO SODA POP 30 day challenge...

Yes even "Diet" soda!

Anyone interested?

I am hosting a "no soda pop" 30 day challenge through my health coaching practice, it is free! there will be group support, health tips and guidance!! When I started my healthy lifestyle transformation over 4 years ago, soda was the first thing I eliminated from my diet.... It is my experience that removing just one poor nutrition choice helps pave the way for other good things to be added and helps get the momentum rolling to eliminate other less than desirable habits!

Who's in?

Questions? Comments? Suggestions? All are welcome!

If you want more info swing by my facebook page check it out! (or just ask me enlightened)

I keep hoping to have my laptop open and answer this! In a nutshell:

Jan 23,2012 I answered the call and made my faith in Jesus public. I was baptized in August

My son turned 4 in April.

My little family played all summer. We were camping/fishing/traveling every weekend.

Took my kids to two amusement parks. Spent a to. Of time with family.

My baby girl turned 7 and also started the first grade (with *my* first grade teacher!)

Of course y'all know about the plastic surgery and my super blessed recovery.

I too look forward to 2013 and I am interested to see what all I can accomplish this year. I start back to college two Mondays from now!!

Hi and welcome!!!

This is an interesting question. I never explored pills so my research is limited. I believe most pills are meant for short term use. I would think helping you get started would be a good use. Maybe they cause more harm than good?? I just don't know. Was there a particular pill you wanted?

It is interesting that surgery is "pushed" and pills are seemingly off limits.

Hi Reenie. Welcome to the non surgical forum. I am not sure where you are from. I am in Ontario Canada. Here to my knowledge there is only one prescription medication approved for weight loss. It is called Zenical or generic name is Orlistat. I talked to my PCP about this option before. But she didn't think it would be a good option for me. Used to absorb less fat from foods and is excreted by bowel movements. Can cause oily movements and accidents it requires the dieter to eat less fat. I have had my share of bowel problems so we didn't think it was my best option. I always wheat/carb intolerant. I have my best success following a low carb plan and exercising. My weight loss is really slow and often stalls if I can't abstain from the carbs. I am currently weighing 250 ish but my high weight was 299 in 2007. I considered WLS too but decided
Against it, even though it is the most popular and paid for treatment in Ontario. I feel that there are too many risks of future complications and far too many restrictions. I just coulnt do it. The surgery would treat what's in between my ears either lol. Weight loss is a
Mind trip all by itself. I am fairly happy with what I have accomplished and plan in continuing to make healthy food choices and exercise regularly. I really hope you can find something that works for you. This board is quiet but a few of us post. I still read the surgical forums because I know the Ontario one shares get tips about eating plans recipes. I also like to read the success stories. I also get reminded about the difficulties and sometimes tragedies of people who have chosen the surgical approach. Keep checking in with us and again welcome to the forum.

Topic: I have to ask this question...difficulty with prescription

I don't want to have surgery at the moment and I wonder why it is so difficult to get doctors to prescribe any dietary pills first? I think I am a good candidate for this. In fact I think this may work to help me along with nutrition and exercise. But when I mention getting pills doctors make me feel like I have a problem...and boy does that make me angry.  I'm not a drug addict or anything like that I just think with everything I have read these may be just what I need to jump start my weight loss. Why make these pills if they cannot be used? Interesting that surgery has been offered but not this non-invasive help.  Any suggestions or  comments are welcome.
