Just know-it-alls being cranky pants, I guess. Maybe that Snickers commercial isn't so far off.

Again, it was a suggestion. I don't think it was quite rubbish. Op has been at it for 5 months With no movement at all.

What are you doing with your life? Mind ya business.

Ok, it was a suggestion.

MFP isn't the gold standard or only standard for calorie counting. She could spend a month at 1200 and see if it has an affect and it would not harm her.

Wasn't blind. Her stats support it just fine. How do you see it otherwise?

I like them. I couldn't make the leap to oil and vinegar because..eww. It satisfies my need for a creamy clinginess to the salad.

Have you ever tried Walden Farms? Zero calories.

16lbs seems to be not so little to the OP if she's been at it for 5 months with zero progress.

With your stats I think you should spend a few weeks at 1200 and see if that does anything. I know you say it will be hard, but it's going to be hard :)

Whoa, what?

I was only joking- I can see where that would be weird too :)

I thought you meant weird. I chew/eat Alka Seltzer every once in awhile. Now that's weird :)

Clinical isn't likely going to be handled with a treat. Are you sure that's what you're dealing with?

This is a dumb one. I weighed this morning after what I knew was a great week only to find a .75 loss. I was pissed. Pissed to the point of wanting to go and blow it with a food tantrum that was probably going to involve mozzarella sticks and curse words. Then I showered and got dressed to discover Aunt Flo. So I realized…

So many other discussions that have gotten this heated get closed. Why not this one?

I always worry when MFP gives me the little helpful flags underneath my diary entries. They are almost like concern trolls :)

She's not, though. If you care about your friend give her a heads' up about this. It's snake oil. Send her the link to the promoters page if nothing else.

Oops, sorry.

Is your profile pic of you? In a previous wedding dress?

There are McDonalds all over the world. How is it their fault?

Op- nm. Believe what you want (except for the ADD/OCD stuff as behavioral because you really are whack about that). I have zero interest, shouldn't have engaged. You do you.

Wow. No. Your knowledge of addiction seems to be purposefully limited and wrong to fit what you want it to fit. ADD, OCD-how do those fit in this context? You really really want to believe you are addicted to food. You are not. Sorry.

Please tell me how this is ignorant apart from solely your feeling about it. I would appreciate data and scientific study.

Do you know the definition of your body being addicted? You may be behaviorally addicted to eating/overeating. You are not addicted to food.

You aren't addicted to food. No one is. The whole slave thing, maybe-but that's between you and a therapist.

I absolutely do. Great work!

What you weigh for your health and your own happiness is important. I'm 5'5 and 45 years old. Under 145 I look emaciated so that it my limit. I have implants, which might affect that weight vs what it looks like but I won't go less than that. I couldn't care less about what a so-called average is.

https://le-vel.com/Products/THRIVE Read on to see the benefits of becoming one of their shillers. It's really quite a sham.

It is NOT a prescription. It is a MLM product. Much like Shakeology, Herbalife, etc. I see it on my FB feed constantly.
