  • Just a question - on your entirely plant based day there appears to be an 8oz sirloin mentioned. I thought sirloin was beef?!! Please excuse me if I'm incorrect, is there a vegan equivalent, like mushrooms or something?

  • Not aimed at anyone specific but someone who actually has the "flu" has Influenza. If you really have Influenza you CANNOT physically get out of bed, much less contemplate even thinking about working out. If you can still walk and use your brain for coherent thought you have a bad cold. It might be a very bad cold, but…
  • Maybe she IS a dog trainer and has a couple of new residents that she is working with... maybe they are rescue dogs that she has just adopted and is working with... Were you on private property?
  • Well, MFP has helped me to lose weight, so I don't really care what a "study" says...
  • I literally cube it roughly, roast it with some onion, chillis and garlic, add a little chicken stock and blitz. Add a little more stock until it's the consistency you like (I like it quite thick!). Chillis can be omitted if you don't like them, works fine. The beauty of this is, it doesn't matter if you don't have the…
  • I do kind of have to wonder that if you deleted all your friends because they judged your food choices that maybe you make really bad food choices and your family were concerned about you hence why they got you the salad rather than the ribs. Also, as someone else said, college is a privilege not a right. I wanted to move…
  • TMI but anyway.... here to help! :laugh: I suffer with crippling pain when it's that time of the month, I also have a very heavy flow. I take some tablets, change my tampon just before I set off and off I go! No problems. If you find wearing a tampon uncomfortable then you have either inserted it wrong or you need to try a…
  • Love Vita Coca coconut water. Doesn't affect my bathroom visits....?!
  • Hi Megan, welcome to MFP! :flowerforyou: You've made the first and possibly the hardest step by coming here, acknowledging you need help and asking for it! There have been lots of useful suggestions already but I would definitely second roping in those around you to help. You say you can't get to the doctor's so I assume…
  • I would say it depends on how much dressing / cheese / meat you put on each of those salads. None of them on their own will make you skinnier, each one of them could help towards weight loss if they fit in your calorie goal for the day.
  • Welllll, if it's any consolation - I live on a very small island with very steep, very narrow roads. We have no pavements so I have to run (read: flap, waddle, jiggle, puff and pant) right there in the road and people have to swerve round me. We also have a custom to wave at EVERYONE that passes, which I love when I am…
  • I always go for some chicken tikka (similar to tandoori but the chicken is breast whereas tandoori tends to be on the bone. There should also be fish tikka and lamb, both of which are also yummy and about as low-cal as you can get! Some raita (plain yoghurt with tomato / cucumber or onion, or a combination of all three)…
  • I don't care how good looking you are, if you come up to me without so much as a word and attempt to kiss me, you are going to be singing soprano for several weeks!
  • My 6 year old is allowed everything in moderation. She loves her vegetables, doesn't like fizzy drinks or sweets but she does like crisps and chocolates. If she eats all her dinner then she can have a couple of biscuits (she loves Hob Nobs) after. She is tall and slim for her age and very healthy. She eats just about…
  • Yum, good idea. But I'll also be using the yolks! On my way to hard boil some eggs...
  • How tall are you? How old are you? What do you weigh now? Looking at your profile pic I would say you are young and already slim, so my answer would be NO, it is not possible. If you were very, very obese, then it's a possible maybe but unlikely.
  • This. Absolutely THIS! I used to get shin splints and calf pains. Always used to say that cheap trainers were just fine, why would anyone spend £100 on trainers, what a waste of money. Then after starting to do lots of walking and then starting to try and do a bit of running (well lolloping along really, your average…
  • It says his body fat went from 19% to 9%. Is a 10% loss (at such a low starting amount anyway) even possible in just 30 days?
  • When it comes down to it, there is only one person who can make the decision to get healthy and that is your husband. However, it does sound like he is suffering from depression and I would try and get him to see his doctor. If he can begin to get mentally healthy then he may realise he needs to get physically healthy too.…
  • Counting out things like nuts is very inaccurate, some are small, some are very big, you could easily have DOUBLE the amount of calories you think you are eating. Weighing is the only way to be sure. Cups are also inaccurate, even tablespoons for powders tend to be wrong. For example, on PB2 it says serving size is 2 tbsp…
  • Did you read all the replies on your other post (http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1389270-i-mustent-eat)? It is now locked, but lots of people tried to help you.
  • There is one positive to come out of this - at least you now know your true weight and can work towards your goal. Think how awful it would have been if you had got to the weight on your old scales, went to the weigh in for the military and THEN you found out you were so much more! That would have been waaaay worse now…
  • Sounds like you had a lucky escape. If he is so shallow that a bit of extra weight has made him run away then it obviously wasn't true love on his part. Better to find out now, have a little cry, dust yourself off, pick yourself off and get on with the rest of your life. Someone will come into it who will be there for you…
  • No, no, absolutely not, I am NOT advocating anything. Having had an alcoholic school friend die in her own vomit in front of her little boy I would NEVER, EVER ask anyone to "gamble with their addiction". Don't you DARE suggest that that is what I am doing, don't you DARE!!! Please read my posts carefully. The OP asked for…

  • Please don't say "don't listen to those saying you can learn moderation when it comes to an addiction. It may work for a while, but for most, you just end up in a worse state." I don't know if you have struggled, maybe you have, maybe you haven't and if you did and moderation didn't work for you then I am genuinely sorry…

  • I'm afraid I must disagree with you. I went from extremely heavy drinking on a daily basis to now being able to drink in normal moderation. The OP would seem to be able to control his drinking at times so he just seems to need help working on that. From the small amount of information given I wouldn't say he is an…

  • I think you have really answered your own question with your OWN words of wisdom....: "Seriously, I love my niece more than life itself, and want to be around for a long time to see her grow and become everything she can be." Obesity can lead to all sorts of health problems. So, by losing some of the weight, you will be…

  • I drink 3-5 mugs of black coffee every day. I would NOT give that up. However, if you really want to cut down and it's more the taste and the habit that you are craving, try a good quality de-caf. I like the de-caf Milicano for an instant coffee in the evening if I just want something to stop me nibbling. It's really…
  • If you really are exercising that much and really are only eating 1500 cals then the only thing I can come up with is.... Could you be pregnant....? That would add those pounds on...
