get rid of the ramen noodles, way to many calories, cut out the pop, drink water instead, and start by just going for a walk, if you can do a 20 min walk daily to start, great, if not do what you can do, I think also adding some fruits and veggies to your diet also:) I think that would be a good start:) Plan on getting a…

I don't have PCOS BUT I do have a daughter of 13 who we are sure has it, we are going to Toronto sick Kids on Monday, to confirm the diagnosis, I have two sisters who have it, one actually having ovarian cancer at 30. I would love to join your group. I need to make healthy changes for my daughter, and would love to know…

your drinking 3 vodka's a night, with what in them?? Actually I am confused, your ticker says you want to lose 3lbs, so are you trying to gain or lose the 12lbs you gained drinking??

If you have had children in the past, google search DIASTASIS RECTI. Louise

Hi 44 year old RN here from Ontario:) add me if you like:)

Great advice!!

YES, oh my you can change those numbers with the program, go into settings, but for now just ignore them.

wow, that person is so lucky to be living with you and your judging of others:(

have you had gastric bypass?

HI, you can add me, I am losing very slowly this time, I want this to be the last time, so losing about 1lb a week, 44 years old, and I noticed you have a 14 year old girl, I have a 13 year old:)

What did you put your weight loss goal at for mfp ??2lb per week?? with mfp they expect you to eat back your exercise calories on top of the 1200cal, with the tdee method, which I like better you do not eat back your exercise calories. so I would set my calorie goal at 1500 and not eat any exercise calories back, do this…

You are not logging consistently all your food, some days you log nothing, others just until lunch. Make sure you are weighing all your foods and logging consistently Louise edit, I am also post roux en y in 2004:)

Jen, I think you should check out this web page, go to tdee-20% http://www.drlisawatson.com/weight-loss-plateau

how long has it been since a loss? what exercise do you do, have you had any "days off" and ate something different? what are you stats, height weight ? I looked at your diary, it looks good, but I think that mfp over estimates exercise calories, so when I went to tdee method -20% I started losing again:) Louise

yep it is doable, I lost 125lb with gastric bypass 9 years ago with a 90lb regain, It is very slow this time, but averaging a 1lb a week, that would be 52lb a year. That is perfectly fine with me, I am losing and learning to live this way this time, no more regain for this chick:)

can you open your diary, or can we add you to see how it works, do you stay in your MfP calories, what is your carb count on the low days and on the high days?? Louise

I had a lower body lift, with belly, butt and thighs done, then had my breasts done after 125lb loss, it looked and still looks fantastic, because i had the fleur de le, cut up the center of my stomach, my skin from the back was pulled to the front, when I regained 90lb, my abdomen still looks great , the weight came back…

What do the south beach diet recommend for carb totals? i eat higher protein, as 9 years post gastric bypass, when losing after the gastric bypass, carbs were kept under 30, I would love to know what you will keep your carbs at!:)

you weight around 200lb?? you must have chosen a 2lb weight loss goal per week? to get 1200 cal per day. MFP is set up for you to still lose weight if you eat back your exercise calories:) Louise

I am 9 years post op gastric bypass, lost 125lb, and gradually gained 90lb back, having thyroid cancer their in the mix. I am happy you are incorporating exercise in, I lost all the weight without doing a lick of exericise, had plastic surgery, all the skin removed, except my arms, NOW I am still using my pouch to lose,…

this, I was eating back my exercise calories and plateaued after starting to exercise, and on the days i wasn't exercising I was hungry, so i went with the tdee method, there you have one calorie goal, you don't have to worry about how accurate your calorie burns are ( I was getting so many different values) Louise

this, set your goals to lightly active, and you do NOT count this as exercise:)

can you open your food diary, we may be able to give you more ideas, adding healthy fats like almonds, nuts and olive oil will add good fats to your diet, fruits and veggies, greek yogurt. What is your stats, you may be able to eat this little for awhile, but eventually you will get tempted and hungry and you don't want to…

hmm, i was just going to say you look like you have PcOS, my daughter will be going to sick kids , she is 13 and gaining around the middle:( you are beautiful with beautiful curves:)

why would you weight yourself at night??

YES OF COURSE:)

PLEASE READ!!!! I want to share with everyone here, I have no thyroid, thyroid cancer 2 years ago, I am also a nurse, felt awful, for a long time, gained 20lb, and finally figured out what needs to be done by your doctor. Your doctor needs to test your FREE t4 and free t3 along with the tsh, ask your doctor to raise your…
