    Laser eye treatment

    We had our's done at Lasik-MD in St. John's, NL. Regarding another post if it hurts, no you do not feel a thing because they apply drops that freeze the feeling in your eyes. Actually you don't even see the procedure as the apparatus they put on your eye causes you vision to go momentarily...

    Cinnamon Tea

    Cinnamon and Lemon are very good for your GI track, liver, and digestion. I put both in teas and on food I eat. In the morning I start off with a nice warm mug of water and lemon juice.

    Laser eye treatment

    I have had it done and it was the best decision I ever made and totally worth it. There are some things that can happen but I took a while to debate the pros and cons of it all. The only problem I had is that 6 months after I had to get a touch up on my righ eye as it has regressed again...

    Convince me I will feel better for losing weight - please!

    Your welcome. Better to ask questions no matter how newb or stupid you might think they are because most likely you are not the only one with the problem or are thinking about it.

    Bellydancing!!!!!!!!

    Give it a go! It is wonderful. Taking it as a student helped me get over my poor self-image and body issues I had from being obese. I'm still over weight but I am far from where I was before. Regarding the maritimes there are a lot of options in Nova Scotia. Cape Breton is my old stomping...

    Inconsistent weighing scales???

    HAHA I just answered another question like this about scales a few minutes ago. They had the same problem as you pretty much. Scales are very finicky and people don't realize this. There are a lot of things that will make the readings different. To give you some things to think about. I tested...

    Convince me I will feel better for losing weight!

    Why did you post the same question in multiple forums? http://www.minimins.com/strugglers-restarters/271614-convince-me-i-will-feel-better-losing-weight-please.html. Anyway you have responses in both threads. Maybe a mod can merge the two together.

Women should never drop more than 1200. Below this you need doctors supervision becuase it can cause serious medical problems in your...

    Convince me I will feel better for losing weight - please!

    *kick in the ass as requested* Yes you will feel a huge difference losing that much weight. Question though, are you only focusing on the scale or are you keeping track of your inches at the same time? If you are gaining muscle then your weight will go up however your inches over your body...

    up and down scales??!!

    Most scales will do this, particularly digital scales as they are more accurate. I have a few questions however that will help me get an idea of what might be going on. 1) What type of scale are you using? Digital vs. mechanical, expensive vs. cheapest scale? 2) Do you step back in it...

    Getting married in July 2014

    I just started planning out mini goals. My first was to get down to 170lbs but the hard part is to figure out how to celebrate the acheivement without food. My family tends to celebrate with food and the fiance has a hard time even thinking of celebrating without food.

    Hello!! Newb to this forum but not newb to forums.

    Thanks :) Yes I have to say I have never felt more healthy physically and mentally. I can really tell now when what I ate is giving me trouble or causing an off day. My body really does not respond well at all to lots of sodium and why I get dehydrated just a little bit.

    Introductions

    I'm all about eating healthy rather than being set to a strict diet of can't eat this or can't eat that. Though even eating healthy you can't eat 2000 or more calories a day in healthy food and not gain weight lol. Over the years I've retaught myself by myself how to eat healthy and portions.

    Motivation...(exercising)

    I would first say find something that you really enjoy that gives you a good workout at the same time. When you really enjoy something it does not register in your mind a chore and you want to do it. When you enjoy something you never have the nagging voice of do I have to do this now. I was at...

    Hello!! Newb to this forum but not newb to forums.

    Well I got the same story as pretty much everyone else here probably. I started my weight loss challenge back in 2005. In the previous 2 years to that I had developed a heart condition, which is scary itself, but then one day I happened to step on the scale out of curiosity. It read 209lbs...
