Hey guys, quick question about the whe Whoosh I was just curious, do you generally pee a lot when going through a whoosh? It was my TOM, I ended it on Sunday. And according to the scales, I had gained almost 5 pounds that week, which, nah, I know it had to do with my TOM and stuff, cuz I am still sticking to my diet and…

Thank you so much for the advice! I really appreciate it! ♥️

Can someone help me out with a little question? When I'm looking through my macros, my iron is usually between 50-110% daily. I had my blood work checked at the beginning of June, and my iron levels were on the low end of the normal range, but still normal. I know I've been getting more iron lately with eating oatmeal for…

Hey guys, did you know we have a thing called a collarbone?? I discovered mine this morning when I looked into the mirror! (Also, as of today, I've lost 53 pounds since the middle of June! I am only 39 pounds away from seeing 299 pounds...)

Yes, if you have it set up to lose 2 pounds a week, then the calories MFP gives you would be your deficit

Weird question, but, as you lose weight, does the way your fat feels change? Like, for example, I have a lot of fat around my stomach, both upper and lower. Moreso upper, though. And it used to be kinda tight? Still squishy, but also pretty tight. But now that I've lost almost 42 pounds since June, I noticed today that…

I gave up diet soda back in June when all my health scares hit, even though I can probably still drink them! But, I got really nervous about my kidneys and other stuff, so, I cut out as many artificial sweeteners and stuff as I could. But I've lately been drinking unsweetened flavored sparkling waters (La Croix), and, I'm…

@MuttiNM awesome, thank you so much!

Guys, I'm so excited! I weighed myself this morning cuz I was curious (I'm kinda bad at doing it every day even though I said I wanted to :p I tend to forget!) And I'm finally below 350! As of this morning, I'm at 348.6! And my BMI is getting so close to going below 50, eee! I mean, I still have a ways to go, it's at about…

Just a quick question... How much do your daily calories drop as you lose weight? I know you can input it through MFP and it's supposed to automatically lower it every, what, ten pounds or so? But, I'm not using the calorie goals given to me by MFP, I'm using what my dietician told me to do. So, I'm just curious? I've lost…

Hit my 64oz of water (I managed to do it yesterday, whoo!) Already got my workout in early this morning, which is nice Wash the sheets and pillow cases Try to hit at least 1900 calories, preferably get to 2000-2100 Allow myself some me time with a video game as a way to try and destress from the fact that I got a call from…

I kinda like the idea, I just like to see how I trend and stuff! I'll probably join in next Monday since that's my weigh in days, and I forgot to weigh in this week because i was thrown off my routine with the holiday :p

Try to hit my minimum goal of 2100 calories Why do I feel like I'm doing this backwards :p most people are trying to stay under without going over their calories, I'm lucky if I can even hit my target calories. I know most of mine is anxiety related, I'm stressing out way too much over macros and nutrients, and I get…

@AlexandraFindsHerself1971 Thanks, that's probably what I will end up doing! He knows that I'm counting calories and stuff, my husband told him when he first invited us over for dinner. So, I'm kind of hoping he left packages out for me to be able to input it myself, but, I'm also kind of seriously doubting it :p I'm…

We are going to a friend's house for dinner tonight, and he's making us some homemade pizza. Not ally I'd pass, but, I've kinda banked calories all week, and I haven't had any food like this in about three months, so, I'm going to let myself have a few slices. But it will already be made by the time I get there, so I won't…

I could probably go to the main boards and find out, but, I've kinda learned to avoid them, honestly. There are a lot of, uh, I don't know how to explain it. People who have different medical conditions that do a lot of posting there, and my anxiety kicks in and I start freaking out that I have something wrong with my…

So, a question about exercise calories. For some reason, myfitness absolutely does not want to sync with my Fitbit for my steps/workout today, so I'm probably going to have to manually put in my exercise with the calories for now. I know Fitbit counts both calories burned during exercise and your normal calories burned…

Lost another .6 pounds since yesterday, so, I'm thinking I had some water retention going on :p But my weight today is 350.2! I am so close to that 49, ugh, come oooon!

Weighed in this morning and was initially bummed to see that I had only lost 0.6 pounds over the course of the last week, when I've been averaging 2-3 pounds a week. But, then I had to stop and tell myself that hey, sometimes this happens. Plus, I'm just ending my TOM, so, I'm sure that played a big role in it, too, and I…

My goals for the day Get to at least 1900 calories, preferably closer to 2100 Work out for 30 minutes with a YouTube video Give the dog a much needed oatmeal bath for her allergies Do a load of laundry Try to get up and walk around at least once an hour and not get sucked into my phone/computer

My goal for the day was to try and not let anxiety win, and so far I think I've succeeded! Also, my goal is to get up to around what my goal calorie for the day I have, given to me by weight management. I was told to aim for 2100-2300 calories a day if I exercise, and days where I'm not as active to not go below 1800.…

Today has been hard, anxiety wise. I've managed to convince myself that something is wrong with my kidneys, even though I know my blood work in June was all good, and I literally have no symptoms :p anxiety will do that for you, though, and I'm seeing a doctor tomorrow anyway But, despite that, I managed to make myself do…

Yeesh. I remember when I first joined here over a year ago, there was a time when it would duplicate my meal inputs, and if you tried to delete it, it would just duplicate it more. I think it said one day that I ate like 10 hamburgers for dinner and five grilled chicken salads for lunch. It was funny, but also very very…

Ohh, yum, thank you! That looks delicious!

Congrats on your weight loss! I, also, have a lot to lose since I am in the morbidly obese weight. (Starting weight of 390 pounds) When I first started, I lost a bunch of weight my first couple weeks, like you, which I'm sure was water weight. But now I'm averaging around 2.5-3 pounds a week (I've been doing this since the…

Cheese sticks, triple zero greek yogurt, baby carrots and hummus are all my go to snacks! Sometimes a half a cup of grapes, if I haven't had much fruit that day

I thought of this right after I made some brown rice, ugh! But, I was kinda low on my calories today, and my carbs are actually right on point for my daily limit, so, I'm good, I think. But I will definitely remember that for the future, thanks!

I am seriously going to have to try this, the picture alone is making my stomach grumble! I'm gonna attempt some ground turkey curry tonight, I think! I actually have all the ingredients, which is kind of a shocker to me

Ohh, thank you! I'll have to check that out when I'm on the computer next!

@acpgee that sounds delicious, thank you! Do you think stevia would work in place of the sugar?
