Yes. At even three if I was hungry after eating an adult sized portion my mom would give me another adult sized portion to eat. If I whined or cried or did anything I was given cookies, never had to go outside, my mom was very thin and didn't have to do anything to be that way, my sister was the same. Often my mom would be…

I loosely meal plan, and prep a few things for times when I don't feel like cooking which is often in the summer. Mon- lettuce wrapped beef burgers and corn on the cob Tues- tacos (prepped and froze the meat) Wed- out of town thurs - turkey meatballs and pasta bean salad fri- bbq chicken breast with salad (baked potatoes…

go for some calorie dense food like PB or avocado.

pasta is my life force and I eat lots of it with no ill effect on my fat loss. So long as you fit it into your day its like any other food really.

Mines more like, fat loss isn't a race.

I find bbqing is actually pretty healthy anyway (maybe not salads made with mayo but I don't like them anyway), I make up chicken kabobs or eat a lettuce wrapped burgers, some veggie dishes and maybe a small amount of pasta salad. Just like anything else, do your best to be reasonable but enjoy from time to time.

Its one of the most silly things ever. Everyone I know on it got jacked at losing 10-18 lbs in the first month, which isn't uncommon when your starting out anyway, didn't learn a thing and just piled the weight back on later. There is no quick fix.

Thank you everyone. Your support for sure helps! At times I get down on myself for my stomach making the least amount of progress in relation to everything else but I know it will come in time. I just count calories, eat food I enjoy and do workouts I enjoy.

If they want to marry you, chances are they already think you look great, so no.

People that put tomatoes in the fridge.

I drank so much I had to have my stomach pumped. From Canada though so I guess 19 was the big number. A birthday is a birthday though, not a huge deal to me.

I am 5'4.

Changing my thinking is the reason I know I will end up at a healthy weight. This is the most I've ever lost, before it was loose 20, gain back 30 and learn nothing.

Thank you, I feel like a totally different person. Amazing what some life changes and a brow threading will do!

Thank you everyone! Your support means a lot!

Personally, to me shopping while losing a large amount of weight ends up being a huge waste of cash. Every time I buy something new, its too big in a month or two, so the cost per wear isn't great. Luckily I pretty much wear sun dresses and leggings and tanks during the summer so clothing becomes more forgiving. I tend to…

HW - 360lbs CW - 200-210 (scale break so no idea) GW is probs around 145 to start.

Never works for me, just makes me think I had less and can have more haha. I get the reasoning behind it, its just never worked. I think I read once that eating off of blue plates can make you feel full faster.

A few years ago I stopped eating junk food, I didn't really mean to it just happened (stopped working at a Tim Hortons and couldn't stomach the smell of sugar or baked goods I guess) anyway I started eating it again when I was pregnant and haven't stopped. Like some other people eating one cookie triggers me to eat more…

5-6 meals and no eating past 8pm.

I have iron deficiency and it makes me lose some hair. Also its common to lose 100 or so hairs a day (idk who counted to figure it out.) anyway if you wear your hair up a lot or don't brush it all day, when you shower and you notice it, and it seems like a lot, its likely the hairs that would normally have shed but got…

I stalled for a bit when I upped my workouts because I was so damn hungry I kept eating all the food.

Its personal, I can't eat before I workout, it makes me feel sick, however I try to eat a large snack high in carbs or a full balanced meal soon after.

I've lost around 150 lbs with MFP. I started out using the numbers they gave me + my workout cals. I don't really bother with macros right now, I make sure I hit my protein but thats about it.

People don't commend my weight loss as much now unless they haven't seen me for along time. 15 lbs is a lot, but people that see you every day might not notice or they think you look great anyway and don't think to congratulate you. I rarely ever notice when anyone loses weight unless its a very large amount.

8-10 lbs for about a week and a few days.

When I binge I easily do 5k-10k cals so I feel you there. For me I've been finding its from one of two things. If I restrict my calories too low I seem to feel the need to eat everything junky which then triggers a binge. Or something is bothering me emotionally and it triggers it as well. I would talk to your GP. And stop…

I agree that protein powder doesn't really help me feel full. I've been using Muscletech, 40 bucks for 4lbs I think, does SO and I around a month. They improved their chocolate taste, its not as chalky anymore and actually isn't horrible, but I mix mine in coffee so who knows how it is in water or milk.

Totes! I married my first husband knowing full well I was in love with my high school sweet heart. We did end up together and have a beautiful daughter now but it would have been easier to woman up and tell him how I felt rather than not say it and half *kitten* it with someone else. Otherwise I would tell my pre teen self…

Tell him that fair is not always 2/2. All you want is the one sausage so it isn't as if you want another but can't. PS I think thats so sweet that he wants to be fair.
