I had the same depression looking at the scales this morning too, it showed I'd put on 2.5-kilos in a single week! And this week I had stayed well under my calorie limit. So commiserations Linden_991, I know these feels. The only thing I can put it down to is water retention. My periods are really infrequent (I have a…

I shared this with another MFP friend on here a few days ago, but it's worth posting here too. I am stress eater and I have an anxiety disorder and depression, so it's a deadly combination. I have been morbidly obese since I was a toddler. My Mother taught me how to eat away my unpleasant emotions, and damn it worked well!…

Gah, and what's worse she's an Aussie....how embarrassing for the rest of us Aussies. :/ My partner was a big fan of this chick's dieting advice, until he finally began to understand how a balanced diet and CICO is what works in the long term. It doesn't hurt that I've lost close to 63-lbs in two and a bit months doing…

'No One is Coming to Save Me: The Art of Taking Responsibility for Your Own Life' There are no white knights coming to save me and no one is going to do the hard yards for me to lose weight. I have to love myself, take care of myself and save myself.

A woman after my own heart! I love all of the FF games, and am super excited for the new version of FF7! I love Dr Who and Studio Ghibli. Miyazaki is my role model. His work is art in one of its highest forms, I'm sad that he's retired now and that Ghibli is shutting down. But, we'll always have Howl and Totoro. I'm a…

I've just sat here giggling at the thought of how many men saw the title of this thread and snuck in to read what us ladies were talking about, and then went NOPE jumping out of the thread just as quickly! :lol: I've yet to have my surgery but it helps to hear all of this stuff to prepare me *buys jumbo-size tampons*.…

Yep, this is probably the best advice given on this thread. I'm so sorry OP that you are going through this, esp after you have worked so hard. But it's not you, something is really off about his behaviour.

Oh you are missing out! There are many many things women can do to men's bums, that can be both beneficial and fun for men, and for women. So many wonderful things! :wink: :D :* I'm sure google can tell you all about the wonderful kind of fun that women can have with men's bottoms if you ask it.

I'm an August birthday girl as well :D The 29th (same day as Micheal Jackson). Also, I forgot to mention my age, I'm 47 and I live in Sydney Australia. :)

Hey Je-suis, I'd be happy to help in any way :) I have a looong road ahead of me and need to lose 375lbs/170kgs til I'm at my goal weight. So pretty much, I have to lose a class 2/3 morbidly obese person! I've only just started (am in my second month and loving it) and have lost over 45lbs/20kg at last weigh in (which was…

People saying that WLS is 'cheating', or saying 'it's the easy way out' really need to get informed. It's no magic pill and still requires exactly the same amount of dieting/lifestyle changes that losing weight without surgery does. It does help for those who binge, being that they can no longer do that anymore. And it…

Hey you're welcome to add me. I have to lose 350lbs, so I have a loooong journey ahead of me :) I'm planning on getting bariatric surgery in a few months.

I'm planning on getting it in May....I've got to lose another 60-70 pound before the doc will operate on me. My starting weight was 540lbs, I've been on here for a month and have lost 45lbs since starting. You're all welcome to add me :)

Hey Climbing Up, I've been on here for a month too. I started at 540-pounds and am down to 496-pounds in the first 20 days. I'd say a lot of that was water to start with but also my portion sizes were way too large before and I now eat about 1/3 of what I did before I started. I'm planning on getting bariatric surgery soon…

I'm a little confused about the BMR & TDEE...I'm a very big woman and I've lost about 22 kilo in the last 2 months (it's likely more, I've not weighed myself in a fortnight). I average about 1400 cals a day...one or two times I've gone over, but mostly I sit somewhere between 1100 - 1400. But, my BMR is 2759 cal and my…

Iggy Pop 33 years ago...my Mum escorted me and he spat on her. Well, in his defence, all of the punks were spitting at him and I think my Mum got in the way. I didn't care, it was one of the best concert I've ever been too. I was all of 13 at the time. I went and saw The Cure a few weeks later, without Mum :p

lol, I have pets but not a soccer Mom, I'm a filmmaker and magazine editor. Both of my daughters are adults now :) I'm guessing the 64 is a date of birth, making you a fabulously wealthy 50yr-old socialite. Did I get close?

She was a child star but now writes a blog for professional mothers :P

Try stir frying them, or making them into a soup. I used to hate veges too, but now I love them. Esp when they're stir fried, yet still crisp, with a drizzle of olive oil and some rock salt. So yum! Or try a little soya sauce on broccoli, delicious! You can also hide them in meals like lasagne, pies, etc. My Mum used to…

Good luck!

Wow...well, I'm not going to assume anything about what you eat/don't eat or assume I understand your metabolism or whether you were plateau or not. I'm just gonna say GOOD FOR YOU! And yay for more weight loss! You rock!

Hey welcome back and you're welcome to add me (everyone is). I started MFP on 511.5 lbs I'm currently sitting on 467 lbs...I started low cal/carbs 6 weeks ago and have lost almost 45lbs in that time. But I have a loooong way to go. I still need to lose another 325 lbs to get to my goal weight of 140(ish) lbs. I'd love a…

I've been doing low carb now for about 6 weeks, I've lost almost 20 kilo in that time...which is a huge amount, but I have a huge amount to lose. Ive found it very easy, and I have lots of energy. I've also cut down my cal intake to between 1200-1500 a day, 60 gms carbs. But I went from eating primarily carbs. I've been…

I ate dark chocolate and almonds for breakfast. Health!
