Fellow Iowan. Hasn't this weather been interesting?

So take baking chicken breasts accurate enough to just weigh after cooking or no?

Dinner usually. Sometimes lunch & dinner will be about the same and I'll have a small snack or two usually after dinner. I try to wait until 6pm to eat most of the time so that I'm not hungry again before bed.

I used to be a chronic stress eater (binge even) & now I find I'm the exact opposite. I think it's because I can't be bothered to weigh food out and log it when I'm upset so I just put off eating and don't even feel hungry. It is so weird. (It's rare that I'm stressed to the point of not eating enough but it happened…

Oh no problems there :D Although there was definitely a mental adjustment when I ate back calories yesterday. I had to keep reminding myself it was okay and couldn't believe how much I could eat Ha!

Thanks everyone!

I assure you those of us with mental health issues don't need entertainment. No reason to say it like it's it's bad thing. It is a health issue just like physical health issues are. Take obesity for example. That's a health issue that's actually in our control (for most ppl) unlike mental health issues. I have zero…

When you realize you've been doing it all wrong. :o Oh well, I know now and have been losing fine.

This is exactly why I weigh daily. I like understanding weight trends and I can almost always guess if I'll have a higher or lower number in the morning based on exercise & intake.

Every day. It helps me to understand my weight trends but this isn't for everybody. If it negatively impacts your mood I'd do it less.

Okay, I actually laughed out loud at this.

Im down 75 with 85 or so to go if you want to add me :)

I'll just take take a joint for zero calories please & thank you o:)

Exactly what everyone else said. Don't restrict anything but your calories. I had always tried restrictive diets like LCHF or all "clean " eating and every time would end in a binge, followed by guilt, followed by giving up because why am I even trying when I already messed it all up. One day I read here in the forums "Why…

Premier Protein is usually my go to if I'm low on protein but it has milk protein. Doing more reading I am seeing that food allergy triggering ezcema is more common in children. My son's cleared up within 24- 48 hours of eliminating dairy so I'm going to try removing for a week or so and if there is no change I will go…

Dang :o Maybe I'll just be eating a lot more chicken & tuna!

Mmm your salads sound delicious! !

Thanks! That's why I used the same one but I'm thinking next time I may have to use a smaller one to show my progress :D

Thanks!!

I hope mid progress photos are welcome. This is a 75 pound loss on a 5'3 body. Sw: 290 Cw: 214 Gw:130

Thanks treehugnmama!

Same here. Although mines more like 15:9

14.2 pounds away from onederland!! I started at 290 so I'm ready!!!

Yep the wellbutrin will do that but you need to eat more and it sounds like you have some disordered eating habits. Side note I started Wellbutrin 3 weeks ago as well! I'm just now kind of starting to feel better. You?

There is one in support and motivation I believe

Oh and log your binges. It will help to be accountable and understand weight trends

Don't rule out foods for being " bad". Focus on hitting your calorie goal first and you will naturally start making healthier choices as you go because you will have to decide what is and is not worth the calories . Like volume? You'll end up eating more vegetables. Just don't restrict from foods you love because for a lot…

I always find it odd when people comment that there is surely no way someone actually consumed 3, 500 calories over their maintenance in 1- 2 days. Wellllll, they probably could have. It's not that difficult

Man I keep checking for an update and only find a debate on appointment availability & use of emergency services :p

I don't think there is an easy answer here. On one hand, this is obviously a major health concern but it needs to start with the parents. Before MFP I was pretty ignorant about how to actually meet all of my nutritional needs. There is so much misinformation out there that it's confusing and overwhelming to many people.…
