Not usually a problem. Bit due to an injury the end of March caused me to gain 10 pounds as I was in a walking cast and couldn't exercise. I fell and woke up an old injury from several years ago that didn't heal correctly and caused a bone spur to break off and I also have nerve damage in my foot and ankle. I went from 196…

51 grams of fat is my limit. The way I had my dinner setup it put me over by almost 50%. So I just really shrunk the portion sizes down

Odd, it does on my app on my phone

I do eat mashed potatoes and pasta, those foods I tolerate well. I also drink these bolthouse brand cherry juice

I've heard of that happening. Read where a lady had the same issue and her doctor didn't believe her about what she was eating. She used an app similar to mfp and she showed him and he told her to up her calories and she started losing. Today I'm only 42 calories short of my goal. I had more time today to eat.

Calories for today were 1,305. I had steak at Denny's. Had to do some shopping with my mom for Christmas day so no time to cook. I planned on cooking steak anyway tonight but just decided to eat out. Too late to cook and wore out from shopping.

I'm eating more than the 700 calorie sandwich. I bought that and had an early lunch. I'm having salad and either steak or chicken for dinner. Going to the grocery when I get done with some work stuff. That isn't all I'm eating. Just upset and was flabbergasted that one chicken sandwich had 770 calories in it. I can eat a…

Abusive marriage. Stopped caring about myself. Hard to care about yourself when your husband is always telling you your nothing but a worthless loser along with physical abuse. Its also when the ulcerative colitis started up but went undiagnosed until 2015. I ate horribly and my health took a toll eating all the fat and…

I'm not anorexic. I do eat. I like food just can't tolerate a large amount due to my ulcerative colitis. Eating 1,000-1,200 helps keep the painful flares under control, if I don't keep them under control I end up being in severe pain and unable to eat anything. Sometimes I eat a little more than that but not too often.…

And by the way mfp states 1,000-1,200 for women and 1,200-1,500 for men so according to mfp I'm not in danger. Get your facts in check

A vlcd is 800 calories a day, get your facts straight

Stopped going to the doctor, they were doing nothing for me. Expensive meds and diets I couldn't tolerate. Making me even more sick causing me to get dizzy and fall causing injuries. When I'm not busy I eat 1,100 to 1,200. I don't mind eating 500 in one meal, but one item being that high in calories bothers me. It actually…

Aldi has good cottage cheese

5'4 197 pounds. Down from 290 pounds. Goal is 110-115 pounds

5'4

Had doctors tell me the same thing. But I always felt like crap after eating what they reccomend. I end up more tired and end up constantly in the bathroom. Eliminating fat is the only thing that helps uc and if eliminating fat also means less calories and I don't feel sick and weak then it's worth the low calories to feel…

I don't like them either

When I have a uc flare I eat much less or nothing at all. This diet is also to try and eliminate those flares so I don't have to go without eating at all.

I also have ulcerative colitis so I try to control my diet by limiting fats as much as I can otherwise I end up taking residence in the bathroom

I do it all the time with no issues. I take vitamins to make up for it. I will bump up my calories a little more after the holidays which will allow me more time to prepare foods myself. I also tend to eat less around the holidays on purpose to avoid holiday weight gain. Thanksgiving I didn't lose any weight but I didn't…

Last week was 4

2 so far this week

I'm a busy person so that's the amount I usually eat. Especially with the holidays I'm busy getting things ready. Yesterday I brought a sandwich and cottage cheese from home which was 300 calories. I just wanted a salad but the kit I got went bad. Would have made a sandwich but ran out of sandwich bags. Going to the store…

I wish I had that. It's a trait with the women in my mothers side of the family, we care for our own and sacrifice ourselves in the process. My brother has custody of all 3 kids and him and the kids and my mother live with me. He works 12 and 16 hour shifts so were both just feel like dropping most days. The main stressor…

I'm thinking I'm also just to stressed, tired and exhausted. Taking care of everyone and everything. Just reaching my goal weight is important but is just an impossible feat

I work 9 to 5 take care of my disabled mother and I'm raising my brother's 3 children. I work as a home health aide so I'm always lifing and on the move. I'm just not hungry enough to eat at least 1,000 calories everyday. I'm too tired and too stressed to eat that much. My highest weight was 290 and I'm now stuck at 202…

I have access to a scale on a daily basis now which I didn't used to. Then I would weigh myself once a week or once every 2 week now sometimes I weigh daily or every other day. So I guess I wasn't seeing a gain because of that. Maybe I should weigh myself less. I've finally able to fit in a size large 14/16 pants which I…

If I don't lose weight then I'll stay the same and that is also frustrating staying the same but to gain is even worse to me. I'm very cautious on the amount of calories I eat. I'm allowed to eat 1,560 calories according to the app but I never eat more that 1,200 to 1,300. Today I only ate 1, 010 to attempt to correct if I…

It really aggravates me. I don't eat junk, sweets or any treats anymore. Went to the grocery store yesterday and saw individual fresh baked cookies and wanted one but I was good and refused to buy it because it's on the bad food do not eat can't have list. I'm just so frustrated. Trying to scan the barcode off a can of…
