Definitely. I was missusing mfp, eating back all the calories i burned working out. I never lost wt last year. Was so confused & disappointed. Now i kicked it up a notch, counting, weighing all food. Set the activity goal to low. Not eating more than half of the cal i burn during cardio, etc. Reading more tips & following…

^yes that's it. I take my protein shake & a liter of water to the gym. Drink it asap.

How much more often I'd have to use the restroom, from eating more veggies. & that I'd need to carry wet wipes. Losing all kinda weight. Lol

That's a form of harrassment. I would report a coworker who came at me like that.

About sisters... i lose weight yet she gains it... i used to send her info on what was helping me lose. Now she's super heavy & has pre-diabetes. How i wanted her to go the journey w me. I wanted to motivate her.

Preach bro!

I think sometimes the healing chrisis might manifest itself physically or emotionally. After losing the first 20 lbs, i cried, i became too sensitive. Then i became content then cheerful.

Omg i can relate. My dad passed away this year. Crying now. I'm still doing it for him, & for me. He was always so positive. RIP dad. This whole thread is so inspiring! Thank you all!

Oh boy i can't wait for that one!

I hate that my boobs went from a c cup down to a b cup. So sad.

Nest?

Proud of you! Fantastic!

Just my experience. I tried intermittent fasting after reading a few articles and watching a few videos and then I became very weak my blood pressure plummeted. I tried it a couple of different ways. The one where you eat only 500 calories every other day & the reguler feeding days 1800 cal. And the one where you eat…

Get blood work done to find out if you have hyperthyroidism

If it was me, I would use this app in order to gain weight. Try to eat five or six meals a day. try to include all 3 macros at every meal. Do not depend on eating lots of fried foods because the extra oils are empty calories with no nutrition. need more nutrition as well as calories. set the goals for gaining 1 pound per…

You can eat as many salads as you want of spinach, celery, lettuce and cucumber and you will not gain weight. you do not even have to log it in your food diary. For the dressing just use some lemon juice or apple cider vinegar. For flavor you can use some of mrs. Dash herbs seasoning. Or create your own seasoning. just…

I know I know I'm a bit excessive I weigh myself every morning in the buff before drinking or eating anything while still in the fasting state. And I also log it on MFP. Sometimes I might forget in the morning because I get to busy. I also weigh myself at night sometimes. Especially when I feel bloated. But anyway I have…

Your doctor is wrong. I get blood work every 6 months and I'm literally not diabetic anymore and I have met other people who have also reversed their diabetes. It's all in the proof of the blood work. Best wishes to you.

Look in your library for the book called Dr Neal Barnard's Program for Reversing Diabetes. Great book. Diabetes runs in my family. I reversed mine with good nutrition & weightloss. Check on your library's website to see if they have OverDrive you might be able to borrow the book in digital form, audio or ebook.

So does that mean that you are looking for only a Pakistani person to be your accountability buddy?

Get your blood iron checked, as well as your thyroid, and you may want to check with a nutritionist.

I get PMS symptoms that are extremely debilitating, migraine headaches, my back feels like it's on fire, horrible cramps all over my abdomen and thighs and around my hips. And I feel extremely sluggish and I cannot concentrate or barely have a conversation. I can barely walk and have to take time off from work.

You may want to read about the benefits of magnesium and how it may help to lighten the symptoms of PMS.

Why not use the food diary on here?

Just curious, would Lypo Gold enzymes help you digest fats better? I had a blood cell analysis done and was told my intestines were not digesting fat properly and that I had leaky gut syndrome. In a few months I will go back and get another blood cell analysis done as a follow-up.

I'm Isabel. 45, 5'6", Central Florida USA. I weighed the most of 223 lbs. Lost 56. Gained some back. Lost 20 lbs this yr. Yay! My goal is 140. I'm alot more steady now. I realized that i was eating back all the calories i was burning during cardio & strength training. For a yr i had plateaued! It was so frustrating. I…

I'm 45. I was a teacher. Was too exhausted to do any extra walking or working out. Plus i found out i had hypothyroidism & pre-diabetes. I found what works for me. This app helps a lot.

That's true I eat out about once a week. I have to eyeball the measurements and add it to mfp. it may be off however I'm still losing weight. I mostly prep my own meals from scratch. Weigh everything. I pack my cooler in the morning with 2 meals & 2 snacks & 2 liters of h2o.

The app says that 1510 calories is what a person who weighs 120 pounds and has an activity level of Not very active needs in order to just maintain your weight. Fyi
