When I got into my early to mis 30s my period went from heay 4 days a week to 2 days at the beginning that are heavy and 2 days of spotting. The cramping comes and goes. Some months my period takes me completely by surprise and some months the cramps are so bad. But nothing weight related.

I started drinking tea because milk makes it taste way creamier and i can use way less milk than half and half to get the same creamy taste! But i used to love coffee with cream, nice and light.

You told us what you did do but not what you do now. Are you still tracking calories? Weight loss is 80% in the kitchen. But no matter what your crying and beating yourself up is most likely dealing with emotional issues. I'm pretty sure that at 5'4" and 145 you aren't overweight or if you are it's slightly overweight. I…

I also just looked up the calories and am very suspicious about them. Those are pretty big. What kind of cake was it? I would look up the type of cake (lemon, chocolate...) and put in the grams (63). And then maybe get cake from whole foods next time (they post cals on the little tag).

I eat 1200 calories a day, but I dont weigh my food so you will probably see me eating less than that most days. I figure the discrepancy between measuring and weighing covers that extra 100-200 calories that aren't logged. I know it's highly unscientific but if I weigh my food i start to get obsessive about my diet and…

I didn't even notice that my skinny jeans (size 14) could be slipped off without unzipping until I was trying on new pants and found out that the 12s fit much better. While I can wa5er the 14s they bag at the rear and knees while the 12's fit really well. Maybe something like that is happening with you? Have you been to a…

I drop weight right before and then bloat at least 5 lbs and it takes up to a week for it to come off. I hate it. It's really discouraging.

Ok. I don't know much about either BMR or TDEE but I do know that generally speaking, many people burn about 2000 calories a day just living. So adding another 1000 calories with exercise doesn't seem too challenging. I do orange theory and burn between 450 and 550 calories per visit (some may say it's an inflated number…

You can add me. I am 37 and have 40 more pounds to loose. I have a 17 year old and an 18 year old. I've been on and off mfp for years. It seems to be sticking this time.

A chobani flip has quite a bit of sugar. I would try to start my day off with something that has less sugar and more protein and fiber for breakfast. Some turkey bacon or sausage and eggs or oatmeal maybe. That sugar so early may be causing you to crave it more. Then for snacks mix fat with carbs. An apple with almond…

I've been doing Orange theory since February and I love it. We're in the middle of he'll week which is super challenging, but I love the coaches and the atmosphere. It may seem expensive but I think it's not expensive at all for what you get. I can feel my body changing all the time. My muscles are bigger my body more…

Yeah, where is the oil on this meal? In the French fries? That oil is already accounted for, and there is no way a whole avocado is on that sandwich.

Agreed. Who needs tge added stress of worryong about uour dress fitting right before your wedding. Let it out and dont stress anymore about it. This is coming from a lady who just dealt with this a few months ago.

I don't know if I have pms or pmdd or whatever but I absolutely look in the mirror and feel awful about my body and just want to eat my feelings. Sweet and sour candy, hamburgers, chocolate, cupcakes. Pretty much anything and everything is what i feel like eating. Sometimes I do eat above my calories, sometimes I moan…

Do you have pintrest? If you do put 100 calorie brownies in the search engine. They are sweetened with bananas and appleaauce and are really tasty. Like really tasty.

The overwhelming response is to enjoy the day with moderation. Spanish tapas sound great! Or maybe sushi? Will take peoples advice and just have fun.

You can add me! SW:228(almost 3 yrs ago) CW: 201.5 GW: 150 I've just recently really started to loose. I went to the doctor, had a check up, got back on MFP and got a food scale. Its not happening very fast but it is happening.

I started out at 228, joined mfp at 215 and am at 206 right now. You can add me of you want.

I'm getting married on April 9, 2016! I've tried on a few dresses and I've been so surprised at how amazing I feel every time. I also started folding my cranes, I'm making 1,000 and I'm 1/10th of the way there. Any ideas on what sort of (non Asian) decor might go well with the cranes (which will be hanging behind us at the…

So what is this stuff called and can you get it at target?

Seriously. The best advice for workout music yet. I just downloaded it and it is soon amazing. It really boosted my workout.

I'm getting married 2016 and would love to dropsome significant weight. I'm in :)
