Thanks everyone!... I think I kind of needed that:flowerforyou:

CONGRATULATIONS!!!:flowerforyou: That's a big step! Keep up the good work!:drinker:

Welcome to MFP and good luck! :flowerforyou: There are some really great people here who will give you the motivation and support you need to reach your goal!

my boyfriend used to do plasma donation and then his immune system got really low from it so he got really sick... sick enough to have to go to the emergency room ....and he hates doctors and hospitals so for him to go he must have been really sick from it

I NEVER weigh on my time of the month because I'm ALWAYS heavier... just weigh yourself when it's over- you may be pleasantly surprised... just keep up the exercise and eating well and I'm sure you'll be fine:flowerforyou:

I was hungry in the beginning- and that was like a week ago... It stopped for me and now I'm finding it hard to eat 1200 calories a day:happy: ... eating more protein helped for me. Chicken really fills me up. I have a lot of fruits and veggies too because you can eat a lot of them and there aren't many calories there. Try…

that's a good point... I don't have a degree in nutrition or anything but that makes sense:smile:

Thanks everyone!

MissVitaVonCherry: i'm not the only one! yay!:flowerforyou:

sonjab35: i don't know... I guess if you're full then you stop.... that's been one of my problems:ohwell: ... even when I start feeling full I keep eating because I like what I'm eating... that's one of the things I need to learn- when you're full, stop eating!:happy:

good suggestion.... now why didn't I think of that... :flowerforyou:

I haven't used it but I feel like you don't really learn how to eat with meals like that. A lot of people I know have tried things like that and after they lost the weight they stopped and gained it all back.

that's a really good question... I have no idea... anyone?

thanks!:flowerforyou:

cucumbers are like negative 20 calories- it's true! My dad's doctor told him that when he was talking to him about losing weight. They're negative because your body has to work harder to digest them so it burns calories! yay for negative calorie foods! :flowerforyou:

So when we log our water for the day is it cups (like 8 oz cups) or glasses?

thanks everyone!:flowerforyou: ... I'll try a couple different things you've suggested... today was a lot better :happy: ... i went skating and burned 733 calories so that was nice... I'm so happy I stayed under today! :happy: yay me!

I'm an elementary education student... hoping to teach first or second grade:flowerforyou:

I don't know what my problem is, but I've been at this for about a week and the past 2 days I've gone over my calories... I know tomorrow's a new day, but I'm worried that I'm falling into a pattern.:frown: I start off the day really good but then it just goes south... any advice?

welcome!:flowerforyou:

I never knew this! It makes sense, but I've never thought about it that way before. Thanks for the great information!

Thank you everyone! I do already love this site! It seems like such a great community here. Everyone is so nice and supportive!:smile:

I think I had the same problem with eating too little. I love how big the database is too- its so helpful to see the nutritional values for so many different foods that don't have the label on the package. It's also nice that the database has so many different brands and nutritional values for foods from restaurants. Good…

If you want a small snack, Apple Cinnamon Quakes are really good. Also some Master's Choice Camembert cheese with whole wheat crackers makes a good snack too

1, 5, and 7 are absolutely beautiful!

Thank you!:smile:

Hi! My name is Meagan and I just joined yesterday. Like so many of you, I have always struggled with my weight. Weighing as much as I do is definitely not helping my skating either. I have tried different diets and they worked, but after I stopped the diet, I gained the weight back. I'm here to change the way I eat and get…
