If your GP has tested you many times, it's probably not your thyroid. I've had issues with my thyroid and thyroid cancer is on both sides of my family, so i get checked every 6 months. My levels are all over the place and I've chosen not to turn to medication because it's for life and I'm in my mid 20s and my GP thinks It…

Definitely see an endocrinologist. Your meds should not be making you gain weight. They're to balance out/replace your hormones. Once they sort it all out and get your meds right, you should be able to lose with MFP, so long as you're weighing and logging your foods. All the best! =D

By the time I'm at my goal I will have lost 120lbs+. I'm always happy to have more pals to keep me on track and you're most welcome to add me =).

If it's me surrounded by alcohol, pizza and chocolate, yes, very easy. I think i gained 15lbs in a month just from cocktails on holiday and i was roughly logging, some days 4000-5000calories. But for most people unless you ate 3500 calories over your maintenance, it's highly unlikely. I'd say it's water retention. I gained…

I think maybe the issue here is that you may have unrealistic goals and you're not being accurate. You NEED to change your mindset and your lifestyle to something sustainable for life. Once the weight is off, you can't stop doing what you did to lose it and go back to before because you'll gain it back all again and maybe…

I honestly don't know anyone who has lost and then maintained a "complete sugar free diet" as a "life style.". But then again the people I knew doing this where saying you can't eat fruit or vege and you can eat maple syrup because it's not really sugar XD. I think they were just trying to demonise food as a way to blame…

At 352 lbs/160kg, you'll easily drop 3 dress sizes by the day. =) Just keep logging and don't fall for any diet fads. MFP will get you to your goals =) Don't be discouraged by the people saying 'No ones going to have their eyes on you or your size, only you will". Yes this is the bride and grooms day but there's nothing…

The Implant doesn't make you gain weight out of thin air. It makes you more hungry and you eat more, it also causes you to hold on to waterweight. This is what my GP told me when I gained nearly 40lbs in 3 months after getting mine in, and that was after gaining a lot more weight on 2 other BCs. The issue wasn't the BC, it…

This is your issue. You're eating more than you think. On the weekends if I'm drinking I could easily go over 4000cal... I'd drop the nutritionist and honestly start counting calories by accurately measuring and weighing everything that goes In your mouth. I'm supprised they didn't tell you to do this... I made a milkshake…

The only time you should water fast is under the supervision of a medical professional and because they require you to do it. Yes there's a bunch of people claiming all these magical benefits but there isn't any real science behind any of it to back it up. Doing it for a day or 2 might be fine but I'm not your GP. I've…

I'd love to help you get on track but I doubt you'll need to starve yourself to lose 3 dress sizes in 4 months but it all depends on where you're starting and where you want to go. I actually went from size 24 to 18 in less than 2 months. Then I went from 18 to 14 in 3 months and I could still eat all the things i enjoyed…

So many wise kitties. I agree with them all. The blood group diet has been debunked. Its about as accurate as a horoscope. Here's a guide that actually will help you. https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/1080242/a-guide-to-get-you-started-on-your-path-to-sexypants All the best on your journey.

Mother and sister got one, both are still obese. Also spoke to a lady at a "reddot" store, she said she bought the trial ones from TV and had them take it back after month because it didn't do anything. She was using it 1 hour a day. That's one of the expensive ones... so either the machine doesn't really do much or the…

Look at getting shirataki noodles! They have vegan friendly ones, they're very low carb and they are pretty tasty and filling. Invest in a good protein shake, there are heaps of great vegan options online. I like to have mine with almond or coconut milk =) and a few berries. Coconut Oil is amazing! It also adds flavor to…

Are you weighting all your foods accurately? You should probably be eating more but if you're eating that little and not losing you're either not counting properly, over estimating burns or maybe there's something else wrong. Weigh and log all your foods and drinks. Try to eat 400-500calories under maintenance. Do this for…

Are you logging all your food and drinks on the site? Everything that goes in your mouth? Are you weighing the foods accurately? If not, that's why. It would be easier to help you if you gave some information like, how much you weigh, your height and how man calories you eat and burn. If you don't know those things then…

It comes down to genetics, age, how long you've been overweight, where you carry most the weight. There are people here who have lost over 100lbs and have almost no loose skin and others who have lost less but have more loose skin. I have a friend who only gained 60lbs after she started college. She lost in in a year but…

You could try a good but cheap protein shake. There's a site called catchoftheday and they sometimes have discounted "health" products I got one from there for around 50% off. It's called Balance 100% Whey. 22.2 gms protein for 112calories which is alright and it doesn't taste bad. Shop around and you'll find some pretty…

I'm in, is there a group? Please invite if there is =D

I agree with everything that's been said. It could be a whole bunch of different factors. I used to bloat up because of my cycle, like my measurements would increase an inch+! And then I started taking Magnesium and it helped with the water weight and the bloating. If you haven't had allergy testing done in awhile, it…

There are tons of great youtube work outs to get the "best" results in building up the glutes and a few sites have some tips. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OsTYPYsG5kQ&list=PLoWnyrj11_mBYkzj1ihe6NB9SEYDFWfty https://www.bodybuilding.com/content/glute-workout-6-ways-to-build-your-perfect-booty.html…

I can't listen to music when there's other people around me. >.< Not sure why but i just feel really awkward... But if I'm jogging or lifting at home, I tend to wear my phone in my bra while i listen to music.

Just set a few goals and stop when you're happy. I've made my goals every 10lbs I lose, i celebrate. I was happy at 155lbs 5'3, but i had an active lifestyle and I had a lot of muscle on me. If I showed you a picture of me, you wouldn't believe that I had weighed 155, but it was all to do with BF% and I had some sexy…

Hope you all had a great Easter! We finally made it! Well done everyone =)

When I was in the car with my BF one day and he stopped rather upset to tell me he thinks I'm going to die with the lifestyle I was living. Then I booked an appointment with my GP and he basically confirmed it.

As others have said, you won't be able to choose where the weight comes off and with breasts sometimes it's not fat but tissue and glands. I lost 90lbs back in 2013 and I was a 12J at maintainace. So I feel your pain. Where I live most stores don't even get down to a G. I ended up making my own bras. Which is pretty easy…

Yeah no. When people say "Eat a deficit to lose" They're not saying "yes only eat high calorie junk food" No one in the right mind would honestly give that advice. They're simply saying that you can eat the foods you enjoy in moderation so long as you stay in your deficit. This is the grey area... You've gone into some…

Congrats on your weight loss =D. I had this issue the first time I lost weight. Though it was 100% to get me to give up. My mother would say things like "Oh no, you're losing your boobs, i feel sorry for your BF." then laugh or she'd try to get me to eat horrible junk and get aggressive when I would turn it down. She was…
