Hi everyone.. I am new to this board. I just had my first baby in December and need to lose weight. I love support boards! So tell what everyone is doing?? I need help. I have finally given up cokes. I was really addicted to them. I was looking at taking some sort of appetite decreaser, but not sure what to take. Really looking forward to knowing all of you!

Hi Dana,

Im new here too and just getting started to loose weight. Im following the diet I was put on when I had gestational diabetes 5 years ago. I lost 40lbs while pregnant and figured it could work for me again. My Doctor (and the dietian at the time) advise that it just a really good healthy way to eat for anyone.

Look forward to getting to know you better.

Hi Dana,

Welcome! I have not really used anything to supress my appetite other than Dexatrim years ago. If you aren't taking a multivitamin, One-a-Day Weight Smart has chromium piccolinate which naturally helps with appetite. I think once you get in the swing of things you'll find your appetite will decrease. Good luck! Annie

I am looking forward to getting to know all of you! I did good today, I took a long walk in the park. It is really nice here in Texas! Anyone need a weight loss supporter (buddy) let me know. I could use all the support I can get!

TTYL!

Welcome aboard Dana, we're glad you're joining us.


Congratulations on quitting coke. I think giving up coke will give you a big boost with weight loss. I have never used any appetite suppressant myself, so I have no advice there. Right now I will try to follow a diabetic diet. I'm not really diabetic but I heard it's a healthy way to eat and I also want to avoid gestational diabetes.


Best of luck on your weight loss. Looking forward to your posts
