Just wondering..have you been attempting on your own with no success? Or is this his reaction to you trying for the first time? Either way I would find another doctor though

I don’t think about food all the time unless I’m dieting so right now it’s pretty constant and I hate that feeling too. I think I would be good with one of those programs that sends you calorie restricted meals for every meal lol but I’m not rich so that will never work sadly. I wish I had advice for you but you kept it…

I have maintained the original weight loss but I can’t seem to get the motivation to get any more off so I get that. For me it’s cheese lol maybe I should try that low carb thing but I fear I wouldn’t eat anything but cheese :p

I’m fascinated with the idea of a TUNA pizza as I have literally never heard of a freezer pizza with that as a topping lol

I am looking to lose another 40 to 50 lbs! :) I welcome any new friends for support in this!

The ketogenic diet freaks me out and I don’t have liver or kidney issues but I literally cannot comprehend how it could not harm them long term. I would stick with just a balanced diet honestly!

I recently restarted my weight loss and having gotten to 230 again I find that I can do 1200-1300 calories a day if I’m eating a lot of protein. When I was a vegetarian I found that on the same amount of calories I was STARVING on that amount. So I know you didn’t mention whether you ate meat or not but it helps in some…

I’m Liz, I’m 5’10 and approximately 230 pounds again. I’m also looking for motivational friends :)

Are you sure this isn't coming from a darker place? I dated a guy that used lines such as ... I think your beautiful the way you are and if you lose weight other guys will be more attracted to you. He sabotaged me constantly by making me dinner or buying it and then making me feel awful about not eating it. He had alot of…

Not a cancer survivor but my family has been severely affected by it so I know how awful it can be sometimes. You can add me if you want, I'm glad you are taking care of yourself!

Lol this thread is really selling this diet.

I usually feel more "fat" when I'm retaining water and if you have severely upped your activity that could be it!

I find it Alarming how many people are like "don't eat them then it's all about calories in calories out". Vegetables are vital to health! I would second the smoothie suggestion, and slowly wan yourself into it. I prefer exotic vegetables to carrots and peas.. So make sure you try a wide variety, you'll learn to like them…

I smoked for 8 years, what it took was just really wanting it badly enough. Patches, gum and most other things I tried failed.. you have to be ready to quit and REALLY want it and then it'll be easy. When I quit I also didn't diet at all, eating whatever you want in the first few days helps lol but also staying really…

213 pounds.. At 5'10. I'm going to try and get to 165 but I'm built pretty broad so we'll see! Lol

That said some people have a hard time with certain foods. Pizza might not be a "bad" food but if pizza is my trigger and I eat the entire thing in one evening or into the next day then it sure isn't a good thing. Unless it's once and month and it's "cheat" day. With me it's cheezies, I can't have those things in the house…

Totally binge watched this all Sunday lol it's kinda gross in some bits but really funny too :)

Ahahaha I know ..TECHNICALLY they are correct. Probably just not the timeline their suggesting lol

I think those meal services are WAY overpriced and you can probably make something just as good with recipes online :)

I eat alot of chickpeas and tofu which ups my protein quite a bit. I have a physical job and I feel like I'm dying otherwise lol

I gained alot of weight at that age but I wasnt watching it at that time. I think you'll be fine because you have a goal in mind already! :)

You do NOT need to justify yourself because someone left a comment that was kinda rude and not related to the question ;) I could probably eat way more then that, maybe in the 4000's just because if I had free reign cheese would be on everything lol

I could definitely do 1200 if I had a desk job or it's a lazy day at home but on my work days ... I really don't think it's possible without me hulking out. I am a massage therapist and if you do 6 hours of massage in a day.. would 1200 be enough for you? Lol I'm personally ravenous and up my calories to between 1750 and…

I haven't stopped eating out but I never have take out during the weekdays and I eat less if I know I'm going out with friends! It's hard because I used to have beers with friends more sporadically but.. that's alright. It's healthier this way anyway!

I think losing those friends will help you lose weight lol because they are feeding you lies ( probably to sabotage because I don't think they sound that smart otherwise!)

Thanks guys! :)

I ate whatever I wanted and then came back here afterward. Lol

I'm 5'10 and my goal weight is 160. I'll see what that looks like on me and then tweak it if needed ... I have extremely broad shoulders and hips so going lower might leave me looking strange lol

If you have already list 25 per month using MFP and not polluting your body with whatever is in that drug lol then I would continue. On a serious note.. sometimes these drugs have serious side effects and I would be cautious if you do decide to take it! Personally weight loss drugs freak me out.

I never ate that much but I did eat crap, especially when I first moved out years ago. Mr noodle anyone? That and I never ate breakfast so I was ravenous later..and then ate more fatty carby crap.
