I transitioned to real peanuts. You get the same taste and they fill you up more.

You can take one bite and throw the rest of it away or plan for it in your daily calorie count.

I've never had that happen. I occasionally see someone who had chocolate and post "you're my kind of folk". But no negative comments

Unfortunately you won't find support for quick weight loss on mfp. It's all about sustainability for the weight loss but especially for maintenance. The goal is to make this the last diet you'll ever have to go on.

The logic is simple but for me it hasn't been easy. I am more motivated to exercise now because it allows me to eat more.

I'm 5'4 , 55 and 165. Looking to lose 20 more lbs. feel free to add me

+1. Dust yourself off and get back on your horse

I err on the 12 side

I read a study recently that said vitamins don't do any good.

There is a low carb forum on here. I find it easier to eat low carb because I stay fuller longer. I eat the same thing every morning for breakfast because I get a serving of veggies and stay full longer. It's eggs scrambled with broccoli. Good luck on your journey.

It's my understanding that some of the meds decrease your metabolism so keep that in mind. You will have to work harder than others but life isn't always fair.

The mfp philosophy is more of a long term one. The idea is sustainability for weight loss while training yourself on how to maintain that loss. If you do it right this will be the last diet you will ever be on.

Have you ever considered therapy to help with your eating disorder?

Low carb also helped me with binges. I cut out white flour and white rice and pasta and that made a difference.

A lot of packages have grams rather than oz for serving size. I would get a scale with both

I only stop eating because it's socially unacceptable to continue sometimes. Nonfat Greek yogurt helps keep me full

Lettuce leaves are good substitutes for bread in sandwiches

Medications can affect your metabolism but not to the extent that you have experienced

What is HWC?

Wow! What an inspiration! Thanks for sharing

How is everyone doing?

My son is one of those people that this is a miracle drug for. Ironically he hates to take it because he doesn't like the way it makes him feel. He feels disjointed on it.

I would run-not walk- away from that guy

When you use food for comfort there will be discomfort when you have to limit it. I recommend counseling to help you with this.

Dukan diet South beach diet. But both have a maintenance aspect

I went over my calories on chocolate chips and margaritas today. Stuff happens. The thing is to pick yourself up and get back in the saddle

There was a recent article in a major magazine about how women need it to be 7 degrees warmer than men in order to be comfortable

Breakfast is my favorite meal so I never miss it

You should see your doctor
