you need to be creating a calorie deficit to lose weight. If you are that active and are truly eating 800 to 1200 cals and not eating back exercise calories you would be losing weight. I suspect like everyone else you are not logging accurately. If you're weighing meat and veggies make sure you weigh them raw and cooking…

Tums yes Tums helps a lot.

I had a big problem with impusive eating. I would see something tempting and eat it and immediately regret it. Now I take the time to ask myself if I'm actually hungry and I ask myself if the few minutes satisfaction of the junk food is more valuable than reaching my goals.

I agree that this is probably a really bad idea

The nurse kept pushing my leg back while I was giving natural birth and managed to dislocate my hip, it was excruciating, thankfully I passed out. I sued and got fat check though but I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy

Looking for female only friends. This is my second time around on MFP. Had a lot of success couple years ago and kept it off for quite some time but then slowly let some creep back on over winter as I started getting lazy and making excuses. So now I'm back and losing again. Yay. Having good motivating MFP friends really…

Friend request sent. I understand the depression thing and weight gain, it sucks but doing something about my weight and sticking to it has made me feel so much better. Stick at this, it really works.

Looking for active friends. I am not a friend collector as I don't want to have so many that I can't get to know each one as I would really like to have a group that can help motivate each other for each other's specific goals. I prefer female friends but guys ok too as long as it's to motivate each other and not flirt or…

Wow beautiful pic before but after is beautiful and you look like your glowing. Very inspiring

@meritage4 I really like that idea. Think I will try that

I impulsively had a big Mac and was feeling real discouraged but then I looked at my weekly calories and even with the one day over, my average is still under goal. Made me feel better

Gatorade is really good and Advil liquid gels that's my go to for a hangover

That is awesome progress in three months. Wow. Good job!! Your on a roll, keep it up

Mine was being given a clothing shopping spree for my birthday and leaving crying with nothing

I've been there. I had success few years ago with MFP but then fell into bad bout of depression. I am just getting back at it now but was telling myself I will start tomorrow for the last six months. I took a sick leave from work 8 months ago which meant I had no reason to get up, sat around in stretchy pants so now that…

I am too. I was drinking two bottles 1.5 litres total myself at least 3 evening per week for the last six months or so. I knew I was consuming a lot of calories but was in denial. I have 12 days in now and feeling much better.

I have 40 to lose. If I stay idle that number will grow. Ya it does suck not feeling good about yourself. I was given the opportunity to go on all out clothing shopping spree paid for, which should be a girls dream come true, but instead left the stores crying. Damn those dressing room lights. Only going to change if we…

I have been where you are and had no friends and I agree it is really hard. I remember a physical ache in my heart and a song or a memory would set me off crying again and felt like I could never move on. What hurt even more is that he seemed to be moving on and it hurt that he didn't seem to be hurting as much as I was…

I have 40 lbs to lose and right now I am really not happy with my body. My mother has about 140 to lose and she just rolls her eyes at me because I'm trying lose weight. She said she would kill to only need to lose 40lbs and tries to make me feel bad about not being happy with my body. I am overweight but it's almost like…

There are 3500 calories in a pound. So say your over by 500 cals per day for a week..that's a gain of a pound a week. Now it's very easy to lose track of 500 calories..is it possible you are under estimating how many cals you are consuming, a lot of the calorie counts are wrong in MFP so it's always good to double check.…

Ya it is tough. I was in denial a bit about how much I was gaining back but after last week leaving dressing room crying I knew I had to do something. I was actually really fit when I was younger and used to work as a certified personal trainer and I really get mad at myself for letting myself go. I did a work out…

I too am on methadone and put on a lot of weight since I got on it. I can't blame it all on methadone as I was underweight and very unhealthy in active addiction. I found I craved a lot of junk food and methadone does slow everything down including your metabolism. I was up to 100mg but have very slowly started weaning…

I know where your coming from. I was always the small one before but then gained a lot and I would always worry everyone was looking at me and whispering omg look what happened to her. I drove myself crazy and didnt want to go out for fear I would run into someone who remembered from before I gained the weight. I found…

Get rid of the nutritionist. Weigh your food and log accurately. Stay in calorie deficit and you will lose regardless of what your eating. You could lose even if you only ate chocolate bars if you stay in deficit although you won't meet nutrition requirments. If your not losing now it may be because your underestimating…
