My guess is that perhaps that entry was made by someone who puts some protein powder in their coffee.

What are your workouts like? You said you work out every day, so maybe 1450 calories just isn't enough for you with what your activity level is. Do you eat back your exercise calories?

Unfortunately, I think (though am not sure) this is something that typically happens with all ADHD medications. When I was first put on Ritalin I mentioned to my doctor that once we upped my dose to 20 mg taken twice or three times daily I had a decrease in appetite. He told me that a moderate decrease in appetite is…

I recently started taking Ritalin, and it does the same thing. I've started eating fewer meals, but trying to cram more calories into them. I kinda like it because it allows me to eat more calorie dense foods during my meals that typically I'd have to try to cut down on or cut out. Be sure to try to eat a substantial meal…

I'm glad that you found somethong that works for you. I still intend to do the medical program. Again, it is at the recommendation of my doctor. My doctor thinks it is what will be best for my health, and I am going to heed their advice. The point of my post wasnt really to ask whether or not I should do the program. I've…

I've been trying it on and off on my own for almost 10 years. PCOS causes weight gain, so it can make it very difficult to lose weight. Many people with it require the help of medication to see progress. My insurance does cover it, and I plan on doing it especially seeing as my doctor thinks it's what would be best for my…

I recently bit the bullet and tried that trend I keep seeing of cauliflower "wings". They were actually pretty good! Chop up some cauliflower into florets, toss them in BBQ sauce, buffalo sauce, or whatever other sauce you like, then roast them for about 20 minutes at 450 degrees. Most recipes I've seen do bread them…

I would say go for it. I watch shows on my phone while doing my cardio all the time. While there are some graphic things in Game of Thrones, your device isn't big enough that others nearby would be able to see much. The only way someone would see what you're watching is if they passed by you, or were purposefully looking…

Typically I don't do cheat days, because I just try to fit the things I like into my calorie goals for the day. However, once in a while, I can't to that so I'll say I'm having a "cheat day" and go over on my calories. For example, the other day some friends and I went to a Japanese restaurant and got a TON of food to…

Highest weight: 260 Current weight: 246 Short-term goal: 190 Long-term goal: 140/130 (or wherever I feel comfortable) Feel free to add me. :D

You can cut a lot of calories off of your bacon if you make sure to go for the plain stuff instead of maple or other flavored bacon. I get the Hormel center cut bacon and it's 70 calories for two slices.

Thanks! I love my nose ring. I've been thinking about working oats into my diet. They're so tasty, but I never remember to grab them while I'm at the store.

I was recently diagnosed with ADHD, and just started taking Ritalin today. I've heard so many people say ADHD meds suppress their appetite, but normally in reference specifically to Adderall. My doctor sounded like he intends to put me on Adderall eventually, but right now I don't have health insurance, so he prescribed me…

My boyfriend and I went out for dinner, and while I did end up 400 over my goal, I'm still at a deficit. I was thinking about getting a brownie for dessert, but after careful consideration I realized that I was getting it out of habit, and not because I particularly wanted it, so I skipped it! Now I'm going to go put in a…

I'll have to give zucchini a shot. It's been a while since I've had that.

I second the big glass of water! I keep a water bottle with me, and just nurse it throughout the day. I get a lot less cravings than when I don't drink a bunch of water throughout the day.

I occasionally use protein powder to meet my goal, because otherwise I struggle way too much with it. I've tried to add more natural sources of protein for my diet, but it just doesn't work for me long-term. So, instead of chocking down more greek yogurt and another chicken breast, I just have a protein shake and call it a…

I'm 27, and hoping to lose 110 lbs.

I'm 27, and my fiance and I are TTC. I'm currently 250 lbs, and have had very irregular periods since the age of 16 (usually going 3-6 months without; currently going 1 year without). My doctor referred me to an OB-GYN to make sure I don't have any thyroid or endocrine problems causing my terribly irregular periods. I'm…
