Have you done the insulin testing? I don't know what the test is called but you fast then drink some sugary stuff every two hours while they draw blood and wait for you to "crash." I did that last year but apparently I didn't listen to the doctor much to cut out flour and sugar and subsequently gained 10 lbs in a year.

I don;t have any good advice. I am generally leary of appetite suppressants. Coffee usually works for me if I am trying to stave off hunger...Have you increased your exercise lately? That can make you hungry and you should def eat!!!

 

I feel your pain on the no-carbs thing Rachel. I try (and fail). Sometimes I have the mental will to do it. Other times I simply can't. Good luck!!

The only time I did was when I was pregnant. I did some bloodwork in February and my doctor said I was fine. She had me on a prescription weight loss drug - Meridia - but the prescription was SO expensive. ($130 a month) I have also taken phentramine, which works but after a while your body gets immune to it. Actually, I think that is what happens with most stuff anyway.

Hmmm...if you find out let me know. On a side note Jenny - your new siggy pic is awesome! You and FI look good together! (But I bet you already knew that !) :)

I know it's not an "on the market" kind of pills.. KWIM? I've been trying to find more myself so once I do, I'll let you know.

Another suggestion that I know works is acupuncture. I know two women that did it for cravings and they lost A LOT of weight.

and thank you! That was taken when I was blonde. My hair changes with the seasons..I have pink in my hair now lol

Yes I know what you mean :) Hmmm...I'll have to see on the accupuncture. I have gotten it in the past for a back injury, but it made the pain worse. I never thought of it for anything else. How cute that you have pink hair! Is it sort of like Jess on Rock of Love?
