Awesome! You can definitely do this. Best decision I ever made was buying a food scale and weighing all my solids and measuring all my liquids in a measuring cup. I literally weigh everything, even packaged fruit bars that are 45 calories. I found things are rarely the weight they are supposed to be. My bread is always 20…

Oh wow. First off, you keep assuming, from this post and another that apparently I'm overweight and insecure and need coddling. I'm not overweight. I'm pretty much in the middle of a healthy weight range and I've basically been in a healthy range my whole life. Secondly, people use this website for lots of things. To watch…

Blu cheese is my number one.

I have had those days. I'm impressed you went to the gym at all actually. Usually I go straight home and sit there annoyed with myself that I didn't work out like I planned to and then I get hangry. That's when I want to say oh screw it. On those days I usually have cereal for dinner or a pbj or something super easy but…

It is literally only two very thin women. There is not a "chunky" one in the mirror. It's a reflection of the tall thin one. You could have just clicked and watched 2 seconds of the video. Sounds to me like you maybe don't have the healthiest attitude and relationship with food or weight. Calling a slightly overweight…

Seriously, she talks about a bad relationship with food and you just talked about "bad" foods you don't keep in your house. If you were that aware of your food habits, and talk to yourself regularly, then you'd be able to have that "bad" food in your house and eat it in moderation when you'd like to. I have chips in my…

Can you keep a scale or bring your scale to the office? That's what I do so I know exactly how much my fruit is. Fruit is healthy and has fiber so it will keep you full. I wouldn't skip it just because you can't weigh it.

I see the movement in two ways. One way for those who are overweight and those who are obese. I think it's nice that if you've found yourself moving less and you've suddenly gained weight and are like say 20 lbs. (number I was above when I started...could be 30 lbs. or whatever for others I'm short) above a healthy BMI…

Differences I see: clavicale seems slightly more pronounced and your stomach looks like it got smaller as your belly button shape changed. Good job on 10.6 lbs. lost.

You forgot to multiple the calories in turkey by how many servings there are in 1.25 lbs. so the calorie count would be higher.

It would be 105+660+160 x (how many servings of turkey are in 1.25)= total/# of servings. So how many servings of turkey are in 1.25 lbs.? Assuming one serving is 3 oz cooked then there are 6.67 servings so 105+660+1067.2=1837.2/5 = 367.44 calories per serving of chili.

Are you in the habit of clenching your teeth or tightening your jaw/neck muscles when anxious or focused?

Awesome...eye opener for sure.

If it's wrong, or not in the database, then I just create my own entry with the correct information and use that. It stores under My Foods and is always there when I need it.

Awesome job. Also, Mizzou Alum?

Waste of money.

I cough due to mild asthma when I exercise. If someone is coughing a ton, enough to make me notice, then I ask if they are alright. Otherwise I carry on with my workout. I wash my hands and arms after a workout and try not to touch my face until after I shower. I figure if they have enough energy to work out then they…

Odd you think it tastes bitter. You can get water through tea or coffee. It's best to get it straight up as water but if you aren't drinking much of anything then that will help hydrate you. I base how much water I need on the color of my pee. I aim for a very light yellow...clear is too hydrated.…

Avocados are calorie dense. Almonds.

Some women's hip bones flare out more than others. Sounds like this is just the way you are built.

5'6 and 141 means you are in a healthy weight range. That means weight loss is slow and you have less room for error. It may not be that PCOS and IR are keeping you from losing weight but inaccuracy. You seem to have tried everything else but looking at seeing if maybe you are actually eating too many calories. Maybe…

You can always start a GoFundMe Campaign or another campaign on a different website that does it. Random people can see your story and your progress and donate money. Then spread the word about it. It can't hurt to start one because you won't lose any money doing it. Every little bit can help. Include pictures because it…

I eat cereal at night all the time after dinner. If it fits you can eat it. My mom used to eat a bowl of rice krispies every night before she went to bed and has never been over weight, she's actually probably under weight. Now she eats waffles or something else. I wish I had her metabolism.

As someone who is your height and was around 153 pounds when I started I'd say no. It took 3 months or so to get 15 pounds off and that was eating 1200, exercising and eating back at least half my exercise calories. I stalled a bit this summer as I was a normal weight at that point, though on the higher end, and my logging…

I guess I chose to believe that the poster verified her scale was inaccurate and asking for advice on ways to keep her scale working properly, not that the poster assumed packages were correct. I am well aware of why people choose to weight their food, but if you arn't occassionally testing your scale with a known weight…

I am assuming that the poster tested the scale and verfied it was incorrectly measuring, not that they assumed the prepackaged food could be correct. I figured mine out when it would jump around a lot. It would suddenly go from 6 to 10 to 5 and nothing had been added or taken away.

I assume weighing food incorrectly means the scale is making things either weight less or more than it's supposed to be. I had that happen and it's frustrating. I ended up getting a new scale and so far it's been fine. You may just have bad luck.

My brother and an ex boyfriend were on adderall for a time. Both were prescribed it for ADHD. My brother stopped using it because he didn't like how it made him feel, focused but also like he couldn't get super excited and was just mellow. He also didn't like how much it suppressed his appetite, he never wanted to eat. My…

My cousin has MS. She found that exercise has helped her a lot. I don't think she has necessarily gained muscle but has definitely gained in strength and kept her mobility. She decided once she was diagnosed, after being paralyzed for a short time, that she wanted to use her body as much as she could for as long as she…
