5'3" First goal weight: 195lbs. Last time I was under 200lbs, I was in 9th or 10th grade- 17 years ago... Just to be under would be a breakthough!

I second the fats. Have you tried taking omega supplements (fish oil)? It does seem like greasy, fast food burgers or Taco Bell's beef soft tacos help quite a bit. Make sure it is a greasy meat product, not other fatty foods like cheese or baked goods. Those probiotics supplements help too. I like the "pearl" brand. Good…
