I get the same way. I find that drinking my calories, via the way of shakes, preferably chocolate, are very helpful. And I also find that the colder the better. I hope you feel better soon. I lose so much weight last year due to a depression that my dr threw a fit on me and people were asking if I was okay. Then of course…

When we are at or near our time of month, many of us gain water weight. Or it could be poop.

I honestly suggesting getting a good group of friends for support. The people on this board are horribly sarcastic, rude and down right mean at times. It is NOT a good place for support.

If you have gained 25 lbs eating between 1600 and 1800 calories, there is something wrong. I am 5 foot 3 and I got to my goal eating 1400 per day net. I suggest going to the doctor and having your hormones checked.

No, you should enter your actual weight.

Seriously? Instead of explaining your diet, demand they explain theirs. I typically find that people do not give a rats behind what other people eat, unless they make a huge deal of it.

They not only make it in smaller cans, they even make it with real sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup, if you wanna go healthier, try the real sugar version, it is way healthier than so called "diet" crap. Enjoy, then spend the rest of the day chugging down water. :flowerforyou:

A 43 year old man that I went to HS with had a heart attack and died two days ago. Now his friends and family are left devastated. THATS why we bother.

Please do not ignore people that say diet is toxic. Its disgusting and there is no reason for it. I am not one of those IIFIYM people. I believe in a nutrient dense diet, eating unprocessed and not refined foods. After saying that, having one REAL pepsi a day, if it is important to you, is not going to hurt you. Pepsi also…

When we start choosing something over our family, friends and making it a priority over life events, that is called addiction. If you feel that lifting is more important than celebrating your nephews birthday, that is beyond sad to me. We eat right and exercise so we can be around a long time to celebrate life with those…

This is how co dependent abusive relationships start. You know something is wrong but you hang in there. Why would anyone want to be with someone that is angry most of the time? Seriously, go to your house and if he wants to be with you, he will show up there.

I tried AA way before I stopped drinking. I thought it was not for me, but it was because I was not ready. When I actually stopped drinking I did not go to AA for a few weeks either, I did not think it was for me. I got sick and tired of being so upset and depressed. It was like l got out of an abusive relationship, you…

Just wondering why you came to the forums for advice when you have all these doctors you trust?

dosa is a batter that is like a pancake but is not sweet. It is spread thin like a crepe in the pan then filled with a spicy potato mixture and folded. They are rather high in calorie, but my god are they delicious. http://www.padhuskitchen.com/2012/12/masala-dosa-recipe-how-to-make-masala.html

You cant reason with a pregnant woman,.....period. Good luck dude., I feel for ya. Being a woman with crazy hormones is as hard on us is it is on you, I promise you that. After the baby comes and if she is still being irrational, sit down with her and tell her to make a plan for you to lose the weight and see what she…

Indian people are logical, that is why many are engineers. They do not get sarcasm. It is a major issue for me when I am living there. They take everything literal. So this is a case of a cultural difference and not understanding that it is a joke.

And that is how I went from 105 to 123. Leaving Oct 6 for 3 months there. Sigh......I will dine on Aloo Bhaji and poori every morning, drink south indian coffee with 4 percent fat in the milk and have a chai tea with lots of sugar and buffalo milk every afternoon. I wonder how many kgs I will gain on this stay? Worth every…

I said do not get the naan because it is high calorie., especially if it is slathered in butter, it is well over 200 calories a piece if made correctly. I never ever said it was not delicious. It is one of the reasons I put on 9 kg in India. :wink:

I live part time in India. I have put on 18 pounds since moving there. The food is oil rich and carb heavy, Its not healthy. People in India are skinny because they can not afford food. Being over weight there is beautiful to them. As they watched me gain, they applauded me for getting "healthy". Chicken tikka is a good…

I have a feeling you have no idea what poverty is? People living in poverty do not live in the manner that she is living. Most people in poverty do not get the luxury of pop tart brand of pastries. They many times do not get the luxury of food beyond top ramen, beans and rice. Most people I know in my country that live in…

Poverty? Looks like she is living pretty good to me.

Yes, it can be done and I am married and my husband trusts me. In saying that, there are guys that I am not friends with if I feel they are on some level hoping to sleep with me, and we know, we may act like "he is just like my brother" but we know, we are not going to be friends. I am a friendly person. I was the toddler…

With the exception of the tomatoes, this. Beans are cheap and easy to make as is beef broth. If you do not have one, buy a pressure cooker. Beans from dry to done in 20 minutes. And if you use veggies in a can, frozen vegetables are way better if using all fresh ingredients are not an option for you.

You dont have much to lose, just give it up. I mean, after all, people that do not have a problem with alcohol do not have a problem giving it up, so it should not be a problem.

No, there are not skin firming creams that work. Strevectin works for stretch marks but is very expensive and you have to use it several times a day for it to be effective, but it does work. Costco sells it and they often have a 20 off coupon for 2 tubes making it around 100 bucks, which is way cheaper than department…

I think in my case it was the fact that I was treating my body better. Before I was pounding alcohol, smoking cigs and eating crap. Now I am sober 7 years, eat a nutrient dense diet and drink butt loads of water and have not smoked a cigarette in over 3 years. I look younger at 46 than I did at 36.

I would like to know how this came up? Did you ask?
