Fabulous! You look great. Congratulations!!!

absolute hogwash! doxycycline doesn't cause weight gain. if you gained weight on it its because you are eating more calories than you are burning. don't blame a drug that has been prescribe for decades millions of times. weight your food and count calories accurely.

Sorry; but this is ridiculous. NO problem with your gall bladder is going to keep you from losing weight. In fact, fatty intolerance, nausea, vomiting, bloating and pain from gallbladder problems might actually keep you from eating a bit.

Look. It isn't hard to understand at all. The only reason you are gaining weight is you are eating more calories than you are burning up. Period. So if you are tracking calories eaten and estimating caloreis burned you obviously have an error somewhere. Likely you are underestimating the calore you are eating AND over…

Congrats!

usually is the opposite.......

Birth cntrol has never caused any problems for me ;-)

Gilmore is absolutely right: MFP is a terrible place to get nutritional advice. Loads of ill-informed opinions and just plain wives tales: So you can choose to accept mine or not ;-) 1) There is absolutely no nutritional need to consume carbohydrate. Your body can function on a diet with nearly no carbs. Through the…

I hate to say it; but, what you describe suggests a signficiant eating disorder. Please advise your girlfriend to see a physician for an evaluation and possible referral to a psychologist. This could be a serious issue ofr you two.

Weight loss is not a linear event. You will have ups and downs in the short term. BUt, if you are not losing over time there is only one possibility. You are eating calories more than you are using. Period. 1) MEASURE (weigh) and RECORD EVERYTHING!!!! No estimates or guesses 2) Get better estimates of your energy…

very surprised to see gain during induction! If you become ketotic the decreased insulin and glycogen dpletion should lead to fluid loses.... Check that you do have ketones. You may have hidden carbohydrates you are eating

First off, the heated pool and heated room add nothing significant to your caloric expenditure. And typical swimming instruction (unles you are in with students doing laps or treading water) is only mild exertion. To help curb your sugar craving, try cinnamon in tea, sugar free mints, low cal veggie sticks and drinking…

Not really a fan of the current point system. It is easy to just count calories or if you are low carbing it, carbohydrates. Can you find enough support here? or with friends?

Ok, There is no magic potion. I prefer to drink my vinegar while it is still wine.

Diet coke and rum or tequilla. Or a glass of dry white wine. When I have used my alcohol calorie quota, it's sparkling water with lemon and a stirrer. No one needs to know it's not alcoholic

I am a decade older than you and can confirm that it will get better. My avitar is me! I am down 55 lbs and went from having a beer belly to looking pretty good, even if I have to say so myself!

This is a rediculous statement. The manufactures place a size on the clothing that is vanity based and not reality based. It is a ridculous conspiracy and I wish some enforcement of standards would be instituted. My waist size is actually 34 but I have jeans that are size 31 and fit loose. Makes it so you can't buy…

There are other reasons for not eating late at night before sleep. It can promote gastro-esophageal reflux, but weight loss issues are just a myth.

Go for it! The data shows that low carbohydrate approaches are both SAFE and EFFECTIVE, despite the uniformed rants to the contrary. Just follow Atkins book recommendations and I am confident you will see success. If you can step away from the simple carbs for the induction period, you will find that your cravings for…

ABSOLUTELY NOT! This drug is not the OTC version of meridia. Meridia is a stimulant agent that was withdrawn from the market:grumble: .

MARVELOUS! Great Job. You should be very proud of yourself.

Total BS! You will lose water but you will not lose a significant amount of non-water weight.

MARVELOUS! you look great!

The ones I don't eat! :tongue: sorry!

I would suggest you actually are getting all the calories. The fibrous pulp left over is generally low in usable caloric content.

PB2. Peanuts from which almost all the peanut oil has been removed. Re-constitute with water and you have a great snack! I like the chocolate variety!

Too creepy! BLOCK and forward to the current girlfriend if you can.....

I would be surprised if it is correct.

Kind of unusual for an adult to have Osgood Schlatter. Typically a problem of adolescents while growing and exercising. (and mostly boys). Also, the problem isn't really in the knees. It affects the bump on the front of the shin below the knee. You might want to see a physician and reconsider what the diagnosis really is.

OK... Are you measuring (REALLY measuring, with scales and measuring cup, EVERYTHING that passes your lips?). This is not advanced math. If you are in a caloric deficit, you will lose weight. The most common reason I have seen for a lack of weight loss is the poster is not actually measuring what that eat and they are…
