You're welcome and good luck. You can do this. Plus if you can eat more food while doing this, isn't that even better???

I couldn't compete with the cuteness of these gif's so I wasn't trying...

Right back atcha!!! So glad that people's forum whining brought us together! That's the ONLY good thing whining has ever done.

So basically OP you eat food. Just tell people that. You're an omnivore. You eat both plant and animal. Doesn't matter if you eat one more than the other, you eat food. /thread

This... And this... and definitely this... I gotta second the excuses part too...not being mean, but because I did the same thing as you are doing. I had the hardest time getting up even after 7 hours of sleep. I'd lay in bed finding tons of reasons (#1 being I love to sleep) to not go workout. So it's up to you. It's a…

Thanks for that. I agree with Trog, try to make sure you get enough protein and fiber. Those things will help.

I had pumpkin protein pancakes for dinner. I made them protein pancakes. They were awesome. I'm over my calorie goal by 300 and guess what. i don't care. #noregrets

She's right you know… Work on body recomposition. Read these. Want to lift heavy things? http://www.nerdfitness.com/blog/2011/07/21/meet-staci-your-new-powerlifting-super-hero/ Stronglifts Summary http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/560459-stronglifts-5x5-summary Stronglifts Womens Group…

Just an FYI - even though it's MD supervised, MFP doesn't like VLCD's. So you may want to check the terms of service before starting a group.

Good luck! I'd never heard of this until now.

I agree it's OP's choice on the pills. I think most people (myself included) say no pills because they don't teach you to eat healthy portions, it doesn't teach moderation and most times (this happened to me) the weight will be gained back after the pills stop. Not automatically but eventually because of not learning…

No. Just using a calorie deficit. ETA: I know you're not new but this page has a lot of useful links that might help http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1455850-new-here-have-questions-this-may-help

I haz a sad.

No. Just no. Calorie deficit works great…and it's FREE. Oh and

You will lose weight if you are in a calorie deficit. Doesn't matter what you eat. Now, am I suggesting people eat pizza, ice cream, and bread all day long? No. Am I suggesting a balanced diet in moderation? Why yes, yes I am. I have lost my weight eating out, making food myself, eating pizza, drinking beer, all in…

Good for you for standing up for yourself. I think you both need to apologize to each other. I say you should apologize because, "Have YOU looked in the mirror lately? YOU couldn't stop at just one could you?" I'm sorry, I don't care if she was putting the cake on your desk, that comment takes it a bit too far. Next time,…

Honestly when I had them linked I was doing TDEE so I just ate 1 amount every day and my exercise was built in. I ended up disconnecting it. I didn't like it.

My sister has made some and it was good. I'll keep my Talenti. Also, the calories will not be 51. Each banana is different and to know the most accurate calorie count you'd have to weigh them. It may be close to 51...

My thoughts too... OP lots of useful info here http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1455850-new-here-have-questions-this-may-help

I have a hard time with getting 100+ grams a day. I end up with protein drinks just because I am lifting heavy so I needz a lot of protein.

http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/926789-protein-sources HAHAHHA. I just saw where I answered this in August. I think OP got her answers guys. :happy:

Some great links to great info... http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1455850-new-here-have-questions-this-may-help

First off, No one was upset (except evidently the people who don't like that I used the word have) and I really don't think Need2Exercise needs anyone to defend her. Secondly, You're really going to start up this up again because I used the word have? Really? Lastly, All of this has already been covered pages ago. So I…

I have plenty on my FL who have maintained for years. It can be done. The reason most people gain the weight back is because they look at this like a diet, they do this just until they reach their goal. After that then what? You have to plan for that. That is why so many of us suggest stop calling it a diet, make lifestyle…

Exactly. Glad I'm not the only one who sees this.

No one baited you. This is what you do in any thread you enter. OP...I posted a link earlier, there's a lot of good info there. They might even help you find the motivation. Some people also read a lot of the success stories and that motivates them. Because there have been a lot of posts I'll post that link again…

Because...attention.
