Serious question....what is k-pop? Like youtube? Now, I am 70 and don't even have a tv but I am guessing Korean pop music/groups. Don't anyone dare laugh (too hard) at me if I am completely off base.

Medications (although not antibiotics necessarily, I don't know enough about that to make any assertions) do more than affect your appetite, they can also affect water retention and metabolism. So, yes, make sure you really know how much you are consuming because we do tend to underestimate the amount of food we eat but…

Starvation mode is bogus, if it were so anorexic people would not get so fearfully thin and even die, people do lose weight at 800 calories BUT unless something really scary is going in with your mind there is no way you can keep it up for more than a short time and even then you are putting your health in jeopardy. Not to…

I had always failed at losing weight because after a few weeks I couln't stand the constant hunger. This time I am eating 1200 calories a day and can honestly say that the hunger is completely under control. The difference? I start both lunch and dinner with about 3-4 cups of leafy greens, 1 tbsp fatty dressing and/or 1…

Now, the girl wants to lose 15 in 3 weeks (which at her weight is kind of impossible barring the amputation of a limb) but she also is planning on having several cheat days at the same time. Talk about dissonance. Let's get real here, please!!

Congratulations! Yes, there is a bigger weight loss at the beginning but if you keep at it you will see a consistent weight loss. Some weeks more, some weeks less and some days even a small increase, but keep going and those pounds/kilos will come off.

I get a lot of recipes from www.vegetarianunderground.com and www.onegreenplanet.org. You might have to entrr the recipe into MFP for nutrition info but that's really easy.

Tell that to my arms. Have you ever heard of loose skin?

I don't do it often because basically I have been eating the same things every day: salad and lean protein (don't get me wrong, there is a lot of variety as to the vegetables used and the protein. I prelog when I want to have a more complicated meal which has more calories so I can budget my calories accordingly, i.e.…

Some people have no sense of humor and are riding a mighty high horse.

It gets harder, maybe. I will be 66 in three months, sticking to my 1200 to 1400 calories per day and losing 2 pounds per week. Of course, I had 70 to lose and I know it will most likely slow down but it can be done. Please don't give up. We can do this!!

OP and others, please add me but keep this in mind: at this time I am a little bit disappointed and just deleted all my friends but two. If you cannot at least click on like when a person loses weight or posts any other news, why bother. I want witnesses to my finally getting it after years of struggle. LOL. I will always…

Was it raw almond butter? I love raw almond butter. Toasted almond butter, on the other hand, is inedible to me. Unfortunately for the near future I won't eat either. Almond butter is one of the two things I don't trust myself around. That and ice cream. Haagen Dazs dulce de leche.

I am one of the non-weighers/measurers BUT 1. I am very accurate eyeballing food portions, not for weight loss purposes, just cooking (it takes many decades of experience) and 2. I am getting weight loss results. You can be sure that if I weren't getting results I would not be wondering why, I would be going straight to…

So if he knows that donuts are a weak spot it makes it OK? I say it makes it worse. Yes, we all should be able to resist temptation or eat just half a donut or whatever, but if it were so easy there would not be millions of obese people. And sometimes we need all the help we can get. It's not like donuts are necessary.

I eat a small avocado 5 times a week. They come 5 to a bag and are pretty small. No, I don't weigh them. Still losing 1 1/2 to 2 pounds a week.

I just had Senegalese Red Lentil Soup from the One Dish Vegan cookbook but I am sure you can find a recipe online. It's very yummy: lentils, carrots, sweet potatoes and cabbage with a sprinkling of nuts.

I sure hope so!

Congratulations! Here's to being able to play with your children and some day with your grandchildren!

Get off your high horse, people. Whether you exercise or not in not a moral issue. Judging others, calling them lazy, or even bumps on a log, on the other hand is. And even more important it's none of your business. If you are unhappy keep it to yourself. Deal with your life and forget about other people's lifes. If I…

Awesome!

For every link talking about how lactose intolerance is for real, there will be another one saying that it's all in your head. Some evensay that bad diet is moreto blame. I am not taking sides, but here is an example:

I eat at that caloric level. Before I always gave up because I was always hungry. This time I am eating a lot of greens and sprouts (I like them, not out of "dietary duty"). After a salad with oil or fatty dressing I am satisfied with smaller portions of carbs and protein. And as usual, lots of water, especially after…

I eat vegan (notice I did not say am vegan because I am open to eating meat). My favorite breakfast is a large glass,of soymilk and a couple slices of Ezekiel bread (whole grain) slathered with almond buttercand agave nectar. Ezekiel bread is 80 cal per slice but there are tons of other breads at 100 or more per slice, soy…

Oh, honey, I can put away 1600 calories in one meal, eating "healthy/clean" stuff and still have room for ice cream. Not that I do that kind of thing any more.

Yes. It gets me half price subway fares and a discount at movies, which are $15 in my hood, sometimes $20. And yes, I am old. Does not mean that I am not very attractive, vital, intelligent, intellectually curious, and I hope wiser and more patient than when I was in my 20s, 30s etc. Also, I have run out of effs to give,…

Every morning but I don't agonize over the .1 or .2 fluctuations. If I have gone more than 300 calories over my goal I wait 2 or 3 days back on track to weigh myself.

Baby steps. That's what my sons tell me. :) You can add me, lskrd. I'm 65, 10 weeks in this time and have lost 21 pounds. (MFP won't give me full credit, heehee, started counting from my last weigh-in two/three years ago. ) Kinda slow going but proof that even menopausal women can do it. ;) I don't exercise but want to…

«My small boobs. Sorry big busted ladies - I actually feel bad for you and don't envy you :)» Don't feel bad for me. I have thoroughly enjoyed my big boobs and I know others have enjoyed them too. And I don't feel sorry for your your teeny boobies.

Everything, I like everything!! Lol. But seriously, I like that it has taken a beating and it kept on ticking.
