1330 calories way too low. Especially for a man. Looks like your profession keeps you active as well. No surprise you are hungry! You may want to re-group and re-calculate. You will starve at that level.

To the OP - Ha Ha Very Funny. To the poster that describes her boobs as HILLARIOUS - I love your attitude. It is amazing. To the poster that begrudges what we do for the Military. I think about all they have done and continue to do for me. I don't begrudge one dime of my money going to the Military. It is a hard life on…

I love this site and this is why. Genetics are against me as well as health issues and a thyroid issue. I had done nothing but gained weight the last five years no matter what I tried. A friend put me onto this site and it has been a life saver for me. I am going for the steady one pound a week. Sometimes I lose the pound,…

Hi, Fortunately there is medication to help with these attacks. I had never in my life had either until I had a couple of strokes and a heart attack (don't worry - I am a lot older than you!). After that, I started having attacks every time I got a little stressed or had to leave my house. The first one I had was really…

On the food expense, I stock up when things are on sale. Dry beans have a lot of protein, are good for you and reasonably priced. I buy large packs of meat and divide at home before freezing because the larger packs are usually cheaper. I buy over ripe banannas on the cheap and put them in the freezer. They make a really…

I am the same way. I really don't have an answer other than I try to choose the lesser of the evils. I can eat a Thomas raisin and cinnamon bagel and it satisfies my craving for the ooey gooey real cinnamon bun but it still has a lot of carbs. I do the fat free ice cream, graham crackers, honey nut cherrio cereal - things…

Glad you ask the question because I honestly don't know either. I have been weighing before cooking for meat, pasta, ect. If I get something out of the food data base, I try to find the one that specifies raw or cooked. Having said this, the folks weighing after it is cooked have lost a lot more weight than me so maybe I…

Thanks to the OP for asking. These are great ideas and I just bought a lot of chicken breast that were on sale for the freezer.

Amazing! Love your new hair style.

I was diagnosed with a thyroid problem over five years ago. Unfortunately, I developed a lot of other health issues before it was diagnosed. I have gained 45 pounds in the last five years and nothing that had worked before worked on losing the weight. A friend told me about this site and so far so good. I do lose weight a…

A four hour daily commute is a lot. Between your school and your commute, I am sure you are exhausted most of the time. You may be trying to do too much at one time and it could be interfering with your quality of life. You have lost quite a bit of weight and look beautiful in your photo. Maybe you should just try to…

I am still working on portion control and getting better. Tid bits that help me. I filled a coffee cup with water and then poured it into a measuring cup so I now know my coffee cups hold 6 ounces and I eat out of them a lot. I do weigh almost everything and measure out mayo and salad dressing. I have found good recipes on…

I love this site. Thank You MFP! I could not do it with out you. I tell every one that will listen about this site. It is amazing!

I love post like your. It keeps me going! The difference is amazing and congrats on your teaching job.

My weight loss is also slow. I don't think I am doing any thing wrong. I am older and I have thyroid issues so I am just happy I am loseing at all. Plus, it took me a while to put the weight on and it is going to take me a while to get it off. I set my goal at 1 pound a week but I lose more like a half of a pound a week.…

I always say why make it harder than it has to be. When you click for the day on your food diary, this site warns you when you eat less than 1200 calories that you are not eating enough. If you click on the Tools tab and calculate your BMR, it gives you a good estimate of how many calories your body needs to breathe, etc…

Oscar Meyer has some low fat smoked ham and smoked turkey. They are 97% fat free and 4 slices have a total of 50 calories.

Ha Ha - Years ago, food was no bad. Before elevators, washing machines, so many vehicles on the road and so the list goes on. We now replace those things with exercise equipment but the concept is the same.

Ok - A big N O No to answer your question. On a lighter note, I can't help but laugh because this makes me think of the rumors about the enormous weight of Elvis Presley's colon when he died! Rest in peace Elvis - Thank You - Thank You Very Much!

I would suggest a marriage counselor. Why are you blaming your wife for your weight gain? I think there are deeper issues here.

This. It could be your thyroid.

Just curious but wonder who came up with the caps thing being yelling? My vision is pretty bad so all caps would be great but I do this because I don't want to be reprimanded. Why does it matter?

Hi, Since you are new here are a couple of tidbits that help me stay on track. Plan ahead if you can and I always enter my foods before I eat them. If the damage is too much, I delete and eat something else. This site has been an eye opener for me as I had no idea how many calories were in the food I was eating! Now that I…

Ha Ha - You have what we call "reformed smoker syndrome" except it is "reformed eater syndrome" in your case. It is not a bad thing as long as you don't actually stare the people down with a bad look or say something to them. As another poster said, you are now much more aware of what you eat and how it has helped you so…

No exotics but I have a Maltese and a Shiz Tsu (Ha Ha I always for get how to spell the Shiz part). Anyway, they are my babies. I spoil them so much that people tell them they are lucky little doggies but I am the lucky one!

First, get your thyroid checked just in case. It is a simple blood test and it was my problem. I don't think you are eating enough personally. If you are not a breakfast eater like me and you have trouble eating all your calories unlike me, eat some peanut butter. It has protein and good fats, doesn't take much to get some…

First, yes I have done something like this! Not proud of it but it happens. Second, if you are talking abot the frozen chocolate cream pie that I am familiar with, they are not as big as folks here invision an entire pie to be. You have lost a lot of weight - far more than me so what I think doesn't count. I would look at…

What she said. My hair dresser knew I had a thyroid problem before the doctor did. Would not hurt to get it checked to at least rule out as the problem. It is a simple blood test.
