This will probably even out. Yes it is probably hormones. If you can go to a Ob/Gyn you should go. But if it were me I would stay off the pills. Do not start them back up, until you see a doctor. Good luck, and once you get stabilized you will lose this wt that you have gained.

WOW who ever thought telling a pregnant woman no you can not have that has never been pregnant , or has never lived with a pregnant woman. That is NUTS. I spent most of both of my pregnancies vomiting I was lucky to be able to keep down ice cream and french fries. grilled cheese sandwiches were good. But anything fresh,…

I would not cancel or avoid a lunch out with a friend because you are so worried about the calories you will take in. The whole point of doing MFP is too learn a new way of life. It is a life altering choice. So avoid anything fried, and remember salads can often have very high calorie extras on them. I ate a salad at…

What wonderful news, Merry Christmas

I am very happy for you, please don't get depressed if your wt loss for next week is not as high. Good luck and welcome to the journey.

Please pick yourself up and give yourself the credit you deserve. You wrote in. You will do better tomorrow and do not think for one minute you cannot do it this time, because you really really can. I am stuck in bed today with terrific pain from my arthritis, but I am not giving up. I don't want you too either.

I so enjoyed reading your note. I was born and raised in lower Michigan, but we always vacationed in Northern Michigan,it was so pretty up there. I have lived in Charlotte NC for over 40 years and the kids get so excited when we have snow. It is so rare, when my boys were little, the minute it started to coat the grass, we…

There are alllll different reasons and thoughts about the flu shot. But I had two BAD cases of the flu in the last 15 yrs, one was last year three months after I got the flu shot. So obviously I caught a different strain of the flu. They cannot protect you from every germ out there. But I feel like why take the chance? Yes…

I got my family off margerine and onto butter because of my best friends dr. He told her while he was treating for cancer to stop eating margerine. Look at the labels. Cookies have just very simple items in them, flour , sugar, salt, vanilla, maybe cocoa,eggs maybe milk, but look what other junk they add to "keep them…

This is a great post, my dear friend was battling cancer and during this five year battle, her dr told her to stop eating margerine and to eat only butter. We found out at the same time our youngest son is allergic to soybeans and marg. is made up of soybean, so our family switch to butter. I use the philosphy if it has…

I also think you should take a class at a pool. I too have bad knees, actually every major jt in my body is bad, but there is no pain in the pool call your local pool and check it out, you will not be sorry.

How about telling him that from now on he must order you a small thin crust veggie pizza!!!! Or else everyone does without pizza. Yes this your journey, but you could use a little understanding and help. Don't let the cost of the pizza be a factor, you could always buy ingredients and let everyone make their own.

It is so much fun to fit into a smaller size. I have been in 3x and sometimes 4's for years, and now I bought 2x and they are gettingto big and they are about 4 months old yeah for me and for you!!!

You need to give this a try for at least two months, I am losing wt very slowly, but it is coming off. As long as you are eating less than what MFP says to eat you will lose wt. You certainly exercise plenty. But this is a life style not a race to get everything done all at once.

I love TJ Maxx, have you thought of maybe a black dress with red accessories. Like a belt or scarf or red jacket It might make it easier shopping Maybe a huge chunky red necklace. Lots of luck.

Try hard not to get depressed, my scale did not move for 3 weeks, then overnight I lost 2 lbs, the a week later 3 lbs. Just keep at it and it will come off.

I pulled up Pizza Street Buffet because most resturants have the nutritional value of all their foods on the web. But Pizza street does not. When you go in tonight why don't you take a note to leave for the manager about the importance for a lot of people is to make good pizza choices and they could help a lot by having a…

Diet coke is really really bad for your jts. Aspartame can really do you in. I love flavored water, but it is so expensive. But I am offf soda, when your doctor says it is bad you need to stop. Caffeine is hard on your blood vessels, but you can just drink enough to keep the headaches away. Like one glass or cup a day. But…

Wow I love the idea of cucumber water, I know I would like that. I have to have my water either ice cold or flavored. I get so bored with just plain tap water. The water is the hardest part for me. I really should stop drinking water at 5 pm, I need to watch it so I am not up all night using the bathroom.

I have a lot to lose so I picked 2 lbs a week. But the wt would not come off at a steady two lbs a week. I would lose on the average at one lb a week, but since august til now I have lost 23.5 lbs. It comes off in clumps, and I do not care as long as I am losing....

Have you tried cooking carrots in orange juice with soy sauce and splenda? Very delious. I love spagetti squash put a slit in it, and microwave for 8 mins. Then cut them in half and scoop out the seeds. Then pull out the squash with a fork and put it in a bowl and fluff it up. A very little butter goes a long way, use salt…

also look in the frozen food dept.

I only eat cereal if it has fruit on it like a banana or some blueberries. I hate milk, so it is always in the bottom of the bowl. I really do not eat flaky cereal either, mini shredded wheat or cheerios I like the crunch in cereal. But one of my favorite breakfast choices is blueberyy waffles, I do not use syrup I like to…

I do not bank my calories either. Each day is a new day. I rarely go over in calories. I don't drink etoh anymore, so it is easy to stay under the calories. I think MFP has allowed me too many calories. I would not get into the habit of banking calories. If you get lazy you could be banking way too many calories and not…

Boy I could have written your post. I have severe arthritis, I have to get a knee replacement on my left knee. The arthritis is in every major jt in my body. So doing excercise is a real problem. But I have found the pool, it offers a wonderful way to lose some wt. Esp the fact that there is no pain in the pool. But keep…

stairs, bike riding, running all are very hard on your knees. So if you are having trouble now, please giv e your knees a rest for a couple of days, and take Ibuprophen. The pain is from swelling and irritation, if the swelling goes down you will feel a lot better. But you must give the knees time to allow the swelling to…

2 oz dry is the same as wet or cooked. But the next time you cook pasta and you know you cooked 2 oz. Measure the cooked pasta into a large measuring cup and you will be able to see how much pasta you can eat when you go out to eat.

Record every day, if you skip you will not remember everything you put in your mouth. So my best advice is to figure out a way to put the recording into your schedule, at least twice a day or more often. Measure, measure,measure it will keep you honest. I do not eat anything without knowing how many calories are in it.

I do not worrying about the extra calories from excercising, they are good to have if you are going out to eat with a friend, but I just count them as a bonus towards my wt loss.

Lemonade has a lot of sugar, how about vodka on crushed ice with a lemon wedge?
