  • what calorie intake would you suggest? MFP's app suggests like 1350 calories a day for 2 lbs/week weight loss.
  • I figured I was wasting my money when I bought them, but I figured I would try them. And I am still going to take them since I bought them, if for no other reason than because the green coffee bean ingredient gives me some energy. No, I am not eating my exercise calories back. I find stricter diets are easier to folllow…
  • The problem is that calorie calculators aren't accurate for me. I think I ruined my metabolism when I was anorexic as a teenager. After anorexia I was a healthy weight for a while, when I was 5'5 and 140 lbs I was on a strict 1500 calorie diet to maintain my weight. Calorie calculators said my metabolism should have been…
  • My son is 1 year and I gained 40 lbs while pregnant, and another 40 since.
  • Thanks for understanding. I know there is no magic pill that makes you lose weight, I just want some help with my appetite to make the diet a little more bearable. Ever since I became obese my appetite has been out of control. Also the chemical I was thinking of is Glucagon, one of many satiety chemicals that begins…
  • I am calorie counting and exercising, I am "doing the work" I just want to feel full like a normal person does. I am on a 1200 calorie diet and treadmilling for 20 minutes, 5 times a week. Once my heart and lungs get in slightly better shape I will increase that to 30 minutes, work my way up to running.
  • I'm not looking for an easy way, just a slightly less difficult way. God, I can't remember the name of that chemical. One of the chemicals that causes fullness misfires when you are obese like me and it takes a lot more food to feel full. I just want to feel full after eating a small or regular size meal instead of having…
  • Being able to find clothes I like in my size... I am in plus sizes and it is hard to find clothes that I like in plus size. And feeling confident when I get dressed up and done up! I miss that. And I look forward to being able to get around easier... and being able to sit down on a curb. I haven't been able to do that in a…
  • Hey I have about 100 lbs to lose also... I don't know my current weight, bought a scale today but am waiting until the morning to weigh myself to get an accurate reading. I'm around 260 lbs and am aiming to be around 155. I'm looking for others with similar amounts of weight to lose.
  • I can relate, in a different way I believe. I was anorexic in highschool and losing weight/restricting or eliminating eating was an obsession. Since recovering from the anorexia I have a huge problem with binge eating and I find myself with 100 lbs to lose currently. I, too, seem to have two modes. It is easier for me not…
