Hey Andy. First off welcome. I just started 18/6 fasting a few weeks ago and these are my thoughts... Regardless of what you do you have to track something, either calories, macros, meals, something. I have found very few people can just intermittent fast (IF) without some kind of tracking, or they end up doing what you…

Hey kiddos. 40 year old here. Back at it again. Haven't I already lost these 50 lbs twice before? yes, yes I have. Once more, with feeling! Please add me. I love having friends to bond with. :) B) ;)

Hi folks! Another lifer here. This will be my 4th time losing the weight. I'm ready to never have to worry about it again. 20 years of going up and down has taken its toll on me. If you need support I'm here! I'm 40 years old, 5'3", and I love chocolate. PDG SW 195 CW 188 GW 130

I took Topamax in 2007 following a seizure. It gave me hallucinations in the sense that if I closed my eyes and sat still I could feel my body spinning slowly end over end until I could swear I was suspended in midair upside down. Also I would lay in bed and close my eyes and feel that my hands or my body were the size of…

Yes. I came here to get that weight off and I nearly have. Now my goals are changing. I don't want to lose any more fat without gaining muscle. I'm ready to just eat what I feel like and work out and that be good enough. I'm about there. I'm at a point where I naturally eat my maintenance calories if I'm mindful and don't…

Oooh, something to veganize! :wink:

It's not terrible. I would avoid wearing it super straight. I got a haircut I didn't care for from another hairstylist once, and it was MUCH like that. You would think another stylist would ask me what I wanted specifically before hacking into my hair. My solution was to soften the layers myself (you'd want to go to…

My husband is a food addict and a compulsive over-eater and I'm a stress snacker so the following foods will not be found in our house... sugar (granulated, powdered, brown, I keep honey and agave hidden) cocoa peanut butter (I used to keep that hidden too, but I'm not going to buy it for a while) oil cookies graham…

We have a dumpling steamer that we use for that purpose exactly. Before we got that we'd use the regular steamer basket in a pot. Spray the basket first with non-stick spray to avoid sticking.

My husband told me about this site. He got me on it. Here's how... He begged me. He told me couldn't do it without me and my support. That part may be true. He sent me the email invite because I'm too lazy to look for the site myself. From there we also got his best friend involved and anyone else we could amongst the…

Because it gets old. Logging, tracking, weighing, measuring... Every. Single. Thing. You. Eat. And. Do. But... It works. Yes, everyone has this problem to one degree or another. For me it just takes ONE DAY of screwing around. That next day back is like herding cats to get their teeth pulled. It's terrible. But I know that…

Yes. Men, women, and everything in between. :drinker: :happy:

Did you get my response? I posted it on the other thread.

Don't freak out. It means your hormones are misfiring. This is my experience with PCOS... I've been irregular since I was 15. That's when they found the first cyst. But then we kinda forgot about it. We just thought I was naturally that hairy. With puberty at 13 came a lot of weight gain. I grew 5 sizes over one summer.…

Oh NO!!! I'm so sorry!! I put my old wedding ring on a chain and the new one is about to join it hanging around my neck. To the OP: Hit the Goodwill if you want to save some cash. My husband and I are getting all our clothes there now. It's like we're renting them... We buy them, then we take them back and get more when…

The only woman who ever told me she would be ok with that (ok with joining my husband and I in a relationship, granted, the offer was not really on the table) turned out to be actually trying to steal my husband. I will cut the next person who says "sisterwife" to me. On the face.

I'm 142 lbs right now and I'm headed for 130 lbs "God willing and the creeks don't rise." :happy: Really, my goal is to be a size 6-7. I mean, I can't put a weight on that because I plan on building muscle. I have a medium-smallish frame so I figure that's not unrealistic. I'm in a normal BMI now for the first time ever. I…

Well, I'm vegan. I prefer to say herbivore, because vegangelicals could complain about my leather jacket. I don't do it so much for the animals as for my cholesterol and the environment. I would be vegetarian but I'm lactose intolerant and also OCD. HA! I went vegan about 3 years ago. I've never liked meat. I used to LOVE…

It took me 7 years to lose the first 40 lbs and I've lost 35 since I started using MFP last August. I'm going to try and lose another 15 lbs or just more sizes. (I'm 5'4" with a small frame so my goal might be different than yours.) I might start weight training at this point so I might start focusing on measurements. The…

I use Arizona sugar-free lemonade mix (zero cals) or Crystal Light margarita mix (ten cals). Mix one packet with 8-16 oz water, add 2 oz tequila, and a squeeze of lime. Rim a glass with salt and serve on the rocks. No, I don't drink frozen, it's too slow and you can't taste the tequila. I love tequila. I try to have one of…

When I feel skinnier. I let my body give me a hint, like I'm having to wear a belt with a pair of pants that I didn't need to last week. Things like that. It turns out to be like every 10 days or so.

I lost 10 lbs. I started just drinking smoothies the first 4 days, then every morning for breakfast on the weekdays. I think I might go back to that. Best of luck to you!

Hula hooping. It's good cardio plus core work all in one. Fun to do to music. :) Hooping has changed my life.

I have a big nose. I get it from my father. It doesn't bother me anymore. :O)

I knew a girl that ran into her ex at the mall after she'd lost 50 lbs, and he was like, "OMG, you've lost weight! You look so good!" And she said, "Yeah, well, what can I say? Breaking up with you agrees with me." :smile:

All these suggestions are great. Try everything you can. If nothing works, find a good weight loss doctor you trust and maybe see what they can offer you. Phentermine works wonders and is safe, but it is only one option, and like I said, TRY EVERYTHING ELSE FIRST. Best of luck to you!

Oh, this has to get bumped. :smile:
