YESSS!!! Today we weighed in and I'm down 2 pounds!! -2.0!! I originally had put back to my starting weight, but i forgot i had only gained 0.2 last week so this is my first official loss! WOOOO!! So 2.11.11. I'm at 170.2 = -1.8lb.
I told J I was being really good all week. REALLY paying attention to what I ate, how often I ate, making better choices when I could. I felt like my metabolism was increasing as I was hungrier more often even though I was eating more often too. My clothes fit slightly different. I feel like I've lost more in inches (still need to measure myself), and even in dance class I wasn't mortified to look at myself in the mirror. I feel like my muscles are starting to wake back up.
this loss really made my day and week and is giving me the push to continue. I want to see two more pounds at next week's weigh in! (I'll be out of town so I'll need to see if I can weigh in at a different location in a different state lol) I still haven't done so great on my cardio due to my migraines but I am working on it. I found out today that something was found on my c5 & c6 vertebrate in my cervical spine. I don't think it's anything serious but more than likely it's the main cause of my migraines. Thankfully the meds I'm on have really helped keep them from getting to be too severe.
On that note, I really enjoy an ice cold coke. I've noticed that the meds make coke, or anything carbonated for that matter, taste HORRIFIC! Like liquid metal that burns my tongue lol Beer does the same thing, coke, sprite, 7up. SO i'm pleased to say I haven't had much of any carbonated drink in almost two weeks now. It's just been water and coffee mostly. And the occasional powerade, but I avoid that b/c of the sugar.
That's it for now. Thanks again for your help and suggestions. please keep them coming!

So your migraine meds make carbonated beverages taste metallic? Odd- I always associated mine with another drug. You said you enjoyed a coke- did it stop? Mine metallic taste lasted 2 years the first time, the 2nd time it was 4 or 5 months. But it worked out b/c I was on WW also. Crazy how we're more alike than we think. My metallic taste is gone finally. It's only been a recent change. I took a new prescription about 3 or 4 months after Ariana was born and just started drinking anything carbonated a few months ago.
Way to go on the weight lose! hopefully 2 more lbs this week! I have 20 more or so, and I'm getting sick of no carbs. :P
Kaliste, sorry this is ridiculously late lOL! Yes they do. I asked my neurologist about this and he said that is common with Topomax. He takes it as well and said the same thing happened to him. So i have been carbonated beverage free for over 3 months now! No turning back! The cravings have officially left!
No carbs is hard, but I've been doing low carb for these past 3 months and it's starting to not bother me so badly. I had real white bread the other night and it was DIVINE, but i didn't crave it after that. It did make me feel like i had a major sugar high afterwards LOL!
