i can never figure any of this out. i have been single forever and thought after losing weight things might change. i do notice women flirt with me a lot more and when i go out dancing i always wind up attracting woman to dance with me (i am a pretty good dancer) but as far as that whole asking out/getting asked out…

i see you did add sugar to your categories and you can see you are over. just watch it and if nothing else don't add sugar or eat foods with added sugar. and def focus on getting more protein. certain foods are so rich in protein that if you eat them regularly you will have no problem getting your proteins...

i responded to the previous post before i saw this one. good low-sugar snacks: fiber one yoplait yogurt 5 g of fiber 5 g of protein 60 cal, atkins daybreak bars 6 g of fiber, 10 g of protein, 140 cal, and i know it doesn't sound very "snack like" but slices of turkey breast, pieces of chicken breast, half a chicken…

i did check your diary after all and it wasn't showing sugar as a category. i believe you can add one or two more categories so you should consider it. mfp sets your sugars very low and i believe they do that for a reason. in addition to the fruits you added refined sugar twice and had a couple of sweet snacks. it doesn't…

i didn't check your diary but my recommendation (and yes i know many don't share this recommendation) is cut back on the fruits and sweets. i bet you are way over on sugars. consuming sugar inhibits weight-loss (imho). on the other hand, as others mentioned, weight-loss naturally comes in ebbs and flows and the general…

some will very passionately tell you you absolutely should eat bat your exercise calories, some will tell you its not necessary. if you search the topics in this forum, some "official" posts will explain that is the way this site was designed to be used. have you notified your dr. you have started a weight-loss program? do…

under a dr.'s supervision with proper supplementation it can work. it will def "jump-start" you and your stomach will shrink significantly. howver, when i was in the early stages of my weight-loss program (i started at 321) i was still able to lose weight with a fairly high calorie limit in conjunction with exercise so i…

i've lost between 115-120 lbs depending on which end of the pendulum i am on. my weight just drifts up and down in a five pound zone. basically i had hit goal and d3ecided i wanted to drop ten more for good measure but am in no particualr rush to do it. basically, i shoot to lose but pretty much just wind up maintaining.…

i was banded 8/16/2010. they just really filled me very slowly since i was losing weight well anyway. i have gotten used to my latest fill and basically think its just right. i just have to be very conscious of the first few bites that i take, chew thoroughly, and eat slowly. it definitely helps me in portion control.

i do too. i have seen many posts on here *****ing about people who "only have a few pounds to lose" and even one or two recommending some form of "segregation" between those needing to lose lots of weight and those "only" trying to lose a little. i for one have lost alot of weight and now that i have less to lose find it…

thanks for replying at least. lol. hope your weight-loss has gone well.

i have seen entire forums destroyed by lack of moderation. moderation is very important because people can be so disrespectful from behind the safety of their keyboards.

anyone? i definitely am thinking more and more i might be over-filled but i want to give it some more time especially because i seem to be losing weight again. the thing is it varies from meal to meal where sometimes i just barely start to eat and get full/stuck and other times its okay. it kind of seems like the less i…

i like vanilla soy light myself. prefer skim in my coffee though...

there are many many dieticians, doctors and nutritionists that teach weight-loss methods that incorporate counting carbs into their programs. as the very first post that started this whole thread points out mfp itself sets a very low sugar goal for its users. if calories were absolutely the only thing effecting weight-loss…

that calorie deficit is the only thing that effects weight loss. i stated that my opinion on that differs from you in my very first post in this thread.

its all cool. i wish i had a lot of calories left to eat too!

and of course what you have to offer so bluntly is fact and what others offer is misinformation...

did i anywhere say that i didn't enjoy them? no i watched them because i was taught/felt that watching them helped me with my weight-loss. you are insisting that it did not. that is your opinion. i don't happen to agree. the tone i get from you is somewhat patronizing regarding the fact that my opinion differs from yours.

many on this site are very focused on jumping at the chance to contradict and one-up others opinions on these forums. i tried to avoid that when disagreeing with the person whose post i responded to. i would have appreciated it if those that responded to my post offered me the same respect.

you can repeat that calorie deficit is the only thing that effects long-term weight-loss as many times as you want. you can believe it as much as you want. you can think i am stupid as much as you want. but my entire program was based on not only counting calories but also carefully watching carbs and sugars and i had…

my apologies to the thread starter. sorry discussions always seem to become some kind of major ego explosions in answer to a simple question. i never suggested you go on atkins. i just meant to use its theories as a reference as to why watching carbs and sugars can impact weightloss above and beyond counting calories. if…

i disagree. from my experience watching sugars/carbs in conjunction to calories and getting lots of exercise helps tremendously. from my experience and what i was taught sugars and carbs in your daily food supply can slow fatburning because your body can convert them to quick energy instead of burning stored fat, even if…

bread is a big issue for me too. when i was deep in my weightloss program i eliminated it completely for quite a while and did well with it. now that i am back on the bread i get the same cravings you describe. love bread. i agree with what the one person said: make sure you have healthy, whole wheat high fiber bread.…

but that isn't necessarily the question/point though. may of us are on here to lose weight and just eliminating what "made us fat" in the first place isn't necessarily a complete path to doing so. fruits can be very high in sugar and calories, "natural" or not. if you are trying to lose weight watching your sugars, carbs,…

you'll be dead of starvation by the morning. lol. i wouldn't worry about "starvation mode" on the basis of one day.

mine was always open but now that i reached my goal and am kind of hanging around it i am not quite as a disciplined as i once was. i feel that i am more accurate at this point now that i keep it private than i would be if i was sharing it. also, at about the same time i felt a strong need to pull back from the "social…

bread is hit or miss for me. when i was in the really low cal portion of my program i went completely of bread for a really long time. just didn't want to invest any calories in bread as much as enjoy it (and it can be nutritious asw ell if you are making the right choices). now that i am back on bread my band reacts…

you need to make a prior commitment to working hard at it, eating right, exercising and really putting your all into it to make it succeed, but making the decision to have the lap-band procedure was deifinitely one of the best decisions i have ever made. i have had no complications whatsover, my dr.'s have been awesome and…

calorie ninja i have and i was told that eating back your exercise calories is not advisable for a weight-loss program and that the effects of "starvation mode" on overweight people attempting to lose weight are greatly exaggerated.
