This was my experience too although I was hoping the lack of a period meant I had transitioned from being perimenopausal to menopause instead.

I really have to disagree with this for a number of reasons. Firstly, keto does not have to be too high in protein, nor does it have to be too low in fibre. Most that follow keto use net carbs, which results in fibre amounts that are around the recommended level. Secondly, do you know what is more unhealthy than using keto…

Actually, food intolerance can cause either diarrhea or constipation so to assume it isn't an intolerance for that reason alone is naive thinking, especially if many other symptoms are present. Also, most people that decrease carbs actually increase their fat intake. While a lack of fat can cause constipation, for those…

Apple cider vinegar is more useful as a cleaning product than it is something to help you lose weight.

I have a little bit of loose skin but it is getting less noticeable the further along into maintenance I get. However, I was in my mid 40's when I lost around 70 pounds. That being said, give me loose skin over excess fat any day of the week.

I think it is pretty harsh to label someone like that, based on the subjective observation from one person.

Is this proof that Australia is indeed more developed than our 'mother country' of Britain?

Well, who knew I had so many wonderful personality traits, simply because I am blood type O. I read it on the internet so it must be true!

There is a huge problem with what you are posting. Unless you are in a coma you are burning considerably more than your BMR every day. My BMR is only around 1100 calories yet I maintain on closer to 1500 calories BEFORE I add my intentional exercise calories.

There is an ounce of truth in this. There is only so much fat a day your body will burn when you are in a deficit. If you eat too little, you will still lose fat but instead of more fat, you will begin to lose extra muscle instead. Adequate protein, slow weight loss and resistance training will all help to limit the amount…

It is possible but not really advisable. You will end up looking thinner but your hair could start falling out, your nails could become brittle, and you could have a pale, washed-out complexion instead of being the glowing bride. Just remember that your partner chose you as you are now. You are who he has fallen in love…

Eggs. Cheap and so versatile. Eat foods that are in season and buy fruit and vegetables frozen when they are not. Buy non-perishables in bulk when they are on special. Plan your meals ahead while looking at catalogues, so that you can incorporate the specials. Cook a few meals worth at once as it is often cheaper per pound…

It is a huge step forward for you and you should feel proud of what you have achieved. That being said, it is a slippery slope and getting the help before you get to the bottom is always a good idea and there are many aspects of your thinking, although greatly improved, that are unhealthy. Forums can be helpful but can not…

You lost a lot of weight in a short period of time and this put you underweight. How can you even begin to perceive this as healthy? You are paranoid about putting on weight and MFP getting calculations wrong when you need to put on weight. How can you perceive this as being healthy? You are making excuses as to why you…

Transitioning into maintenance is scary and having the app throw out curveballs like this does not help the process. Rather than relying on this gimmick though you are better off looking at your own data from the last month or so of losing. If you were losing at an average rate of about 1/2 pound a week over that time then…

Why is your goal at a point where you are still underweight according to the BMI scale?

Apple Watch doesn't sync well with MFP which is why you can get these bizarre adjustments. Install Pacer to your phone and sync your watch to Pacer and then Pacer to MFP. This will give more accurate numbers.

How have you determined that you only eat 1000 calories a day? The vast majority who say this actually eat much more than they realise. This is done by eating food that they forget to log (a taste here and there when cooking, forgetting to add condiments and oils etc) or they measure their foods with measuring cups and…

If I had to guess, fruit which would give you plenty of good stuff like vitamin C which will help with recovery and yoghurt as it can help restore the healthy flora in your gut which antibiotics can interfere with.

You have always had success with this, until you have stopped doing it which is when the weight comes back on. For long term success you really need to look into an eating plan that you can adhere to in order to lose the weight, and also the eating plan you will adhere to once the weight is off. Many find maintenance so…

My local supermarket has all of its fruit, vegetables and dairy in the middle of the store. The perimeter is biscuits (cookies) and chips (crisps) down one aisle and cleaning products down the other! At the back of the store you get meat though so all is good if that is all you want to eat.

I partly agree with what you said but I think this mindset can easily lead to excuses for maintaining a weight which still poses health risks. You can not solely rely on BMI though as some are healthy with a BMI slightly above 25. BMI is pretty accurate for most of the population but determining your lean muscle mass will…

I didn't throw out anything but as time went on the list of foods I was no longer buying much of was growing as was the list of different foods I was buying. Any change I made was gradual and I still had other members of the household that wanted their treats.

I study full time and don't actually have a standup desk My husband, however, built a stand to put my laptop on to give me the option of standing rather than sitting when I want. In the year or so since he has made this I haven't used my chair at all. I find that my concentration is much better when I am standing. This…

I think something isn't quite right with your Garmin. I would double-check the settings as that calorie burn is way too high for the stats you have given.

Have you ever lost a loved one to a road accident?

So not only are you eating while you are driving you are also speeding. Please don't be on the road anywhere near me as you are an accident waiting to happen.

10% of your body weight a week would be just a little ... well a lot ... too much hee hee. That is what you get when you should be studying but looking at the forums at the same time. Thanks for pointing it out. I really am not that crazy.
