that's great! but I'm confused as to why you are wearing juniors and not adult sizes?

I was tested for Crohn's, IBS, given meds, etc... I found help using essential oils finally. I was having constant bowel issues for 7 months and I went to several specialists, and several meds, but to no avail. In the last month I've been really diligent with getting good exercise, eating better, and even went gluten free,…

Depends on size, weight, age... I wouldn't worry about it though.

Wait you're an adult? GROW UP. Get over yourself. It's like saying the spoon made you fat - no, you control the spoon, you made yourself fat. Learn to be an adult and how to use self control - not everything is about you (unless, maybe it's your birthday).

I say get her 2 boxes of poptarts - if they are hard to come by there, why not? it's once a year. I don't eat pop tarts, so she can have my share - deal? And since when is it ok for a 6 year old to have a phone or an ipad? I'm lucky I have a laptop, and that was for college. I have an ipod, that was a hand-me-down from my…

olive oil is healthy, but one serving has 120 calories (I think). But i use olive oil and balsamic myself.

i didn't lose weight for a while and i learned MFP was overestimating my exercise - i got a fitbit and that's when I realized how over estimated the exercise burns were. Then the weight started coming off again easily after that.

also, your goal weight is 105? and you're freaking out at a cup of ice cream and you weigh 135, which is totally in the healthy range? :huh:

troll? Wow, just eat OP. seriously. Get over yourself. I ate about 2100 calories the other day and I didn't log it, but then again I didn't freak out and just said hey, I worked hard this week and I was a bit over, so be it. Eat more to lose more. Starve yourself and you'll probably gain. One cup of ice cream is nothing -…

apples don't make for good smoothies i've learned... This morning i had protein powder, milk, strawberries and a banana. No problems. Seriously, it was that easy: 1 cup strawberries 1banana 1 serving protein powder - I got a free thing on Tosi and it's gluten free, as I'm also gluten intolerant 1/2 cup milk Also - not all…

I'm on 40mg paxil, weening off slowly. Also using essential oils for treatment, as well as meditate and yoga. Works like a champ. Also diet (gluten free) and brisk walks are helping as well, I try walking during normal sunlight, to try and get my Vitamin D therapy in, with the days getting shorter and all we all need some…

makes sense to me, but I can't eat those bars anyways, pretty sure they have gluten in them. Just like the doctors always tell you to increase your fiber slowly, this is why!

you can eat sushi, you just can't have the soy sauce, although they make a gluten free soy sauce - I've been gluten free 4 months now and eat pretty much EVERYTHING - Bakery on main makes a certified gluten free oatmeal - the apple pie flavor is the best! There are sooo many gluten free options where I live... In all the…

^^This - sorry OP, use the search key and find previous topics, since it's been done before, and I have more important things in life to worry about then how someone raises their kids... Not my kid, not my problem.

Here are my observations - 1. There is no way you are an athlete and only eat 1200 a day. Period 2. If you are 17, find a site designed for teens. 3. Your profile says you only need to lose 7 pounds? if you've been eating 1200 for 8 months, you would have lost it already. In my personal opinion, and I am not a doctor, but…

Weight is just a number on a scale doll. I bet he's marrying you because he loves you, not he wants you to lose weight. Trust me, in the long run, there are more important things in life then trying to kill yourself in 5 weeks to drop weight fast.

1200 and exercising daily - EAT MORE

I am gluten free as well, but I don't cook - much anyways, it's just me, single, living alone. I eat a lot of meat, just check spices to make sure they are gluten free. McCormick is gluten free, I know that, I use their taco seasoning to make taco meat to eat throughout the week. Chicken, turkey, I found a TON of single…

Well aren't you going to introduce us? This is my husband, "Crap"...

WOW! All in a year? That's exciting - congrats to both of you!

Oh God another dr. Oz supporter :noway: Have fun wasting your money - I'll send you my paypal account, I need to pay the bills. do things the RIGHT way - eat, exercise, and make better choices.

1. There is no way you burn that in Zumba 2. If you think that you do burn that in Zumba, you need to eat a hell of a lot more. 3. Weigh and measure everything. 4. Eat more to lose more - it does work, especially if you are as active as you say you are. 5. You need to get into the habit of logging. I know you say you're…

I've never heard of a push gift - honestly think it's a way to get more presents I guess... like valentines day was created for card makers and candy makers. My advice is just be supportive when she needs you during the deliver and after - after all, it does take two people to create the miracle :)

I'll still eat all the chocolate I want, but thanks anyways. There's a lot on the internet, some true, some not so true. child slavery chocolate isn't the biggest issue I have to deal with right now.

^^ THIS. In looking at your photo, which may be old, you need to gain, not maintain.

^^This. Also, why eat out so much, you can save money eating at home or bringing your lunch with you to work! I haven't eaten out in about 3 weeks, NOTHING... then again I have food allergies and am very careful about where I can go, what I can have, and research everything online first. My favorite is taking home half the…

My priorities are different then hers, so That's my excuse. Do I give her credit? Hell to the YES - she looks great, and she manages her kids and work and still have tons of time for the fitness level she wanted. While I am not a mom, I work full time in management during the day (45-50 hour weeks), & just started my own…

I will gladly give you my paypal account, since you're wasting your money, I could use some! Toxins are crap - you're body naturally gets rids of toxins in it's own way- you don't need a wrap to do it, otherwise we'd all be wrapping, and as you can tell, clearly most of us know this is a marketing scheme and complete…

Was 550 calories over yesterday and had one of the greatest days in a long time - so no. There are more important things than being a number and being under or over it.

You're not eating enough - MFP is designed so you eat back your exercise calories - your body is holding onto weight because you aren't fueling it. I'm not saying eat more, I'm saying cut back on the exercise a bit maybe, 3 times a day is headed for a disaster...
