Hey, I'm sending a friend request now. Good job so far, that's great!!!

Thanks!! i track everything, and I meet with my doctor to go over my food log this week. i'm hoping he'll give me some pointers. so happy you are at goal, that's fantastic!!!!

Sending the request now! i am also doing low carb, high protein, just started it!

You already have a lot to be proud of! I would suggest asking your doctor for a food plan to follow. You should find lots of support and help on this site, I wish you all the luck, Sending you a friend request

I struggle with this too. What do you like to eat? I don't buy special flavorings. I use garlic, salt, pepper, and hot pepper, and sometimes Johnny's or this nice non salt seasoning from Costco. I try to go to fruit and veggie stands instead of grocery stores for vegetables and fruit. They are usually much cheaper than the…

I am so sorry for all that is going on with you! But it sounds like you have a good attitude and want to get healthier for good reason! I'm new to the site but not to the losing weight, just like you. Feel free to add me as a friend, hopefully we can support each other. I wish you tremendous luck!!

I'm only 38....sigh

This is one of my favorites

Hey there, I have PCOS and I just started a new eating program. My carb limit is 50-80 grams a day. This is based on a whole eating program, and I have a high amount of protein to try to get every day (at least 130-150 grams)

I understand how you feel, I've tried over and over again. I'm feeling a bit different this time though, much more positive, and mfp has already helped! feel free to add me as a friend!

Hey i'm sending a friend request right now! Good luck! you will get a lot of support here!

West Seattle, born and raised!!

Thank you for the clarification!

Yay! Not that I'm happy you didn't have weight loss with Metformin, but I thought I was one of the few who didn't. It's nice to know it's not just me!!

Thanks for the post, and you look AMAZING!! I am currently taking metformin, I've been on it for about 2 years with no weight loss. It does help with my acne and regulates my periods a bit, so I'm happy about that. I am on a new program of high protein and low carbs and cutting calories. I'm hoping that once I lose the…

I am also new here and need to make some major changes. Good luck to you, I hope you get lots of support and help!!! Feel free to add me as a friend if you like,

I started getting migraines when I was 10 and I have had them since them, and sometimes they change into tension headaches. Oh joy!! I sometimes drink coffee when i feel one coming on. It sometimes helps with the actual migraine. It's probably the total opposite of your craving so I don't know if it will help, but it seems…

I don't log my exercise because it always changes my food goals, and I have my food goals set exactly where I want them.

You look wonderful, and I'm so happy that you posted the pic!!! You should never be embarrassed! You have a gorgeous smile, and should absolutely post more pics! (By the way, I'm extremely over weight but I'm such an attention *kitten* that I have a blog where I post pictures of myself all the time!!)

Sending a request right now!

As I understand it, if you continue to eat your BMR every day, you will maintain your current weight. If you eat a deficit, then you should lose. I'm not sure why people say that you should eat your BMR everyday, unless they are on a different program?

YAY!!!

I used to hide from the camera too and beat myself up for my weight, but then I decided that the best way for me to get healthy was to start having better self esteem and to treat myself better, mentally and emotionally. It was hard, and is STILL hard. But i decided i needed to like myself at any and every weight. It…

I don't know if it will help, but in regards to his comments about being naturally fat, you could say something like " I may be naturally fat but I need and WANT to make changes. It's ok if you don't want to, I won't bother you about your choices. But please don't say anything about my choices either. It makes me feel bad…

I have to lose at least 100, possibly more. I have tried so many different ways, and I'm hoping this time to make some permanent changes and to learn how to treat myself better. Ha, although I have to say that we are probably all already beautiful on the outside, not just on the inside! Anyway, I'm starting a whole new…

adding you!

adding! i'm also new, anyone else feel free to add

I only track my carbs total, I'm sorry I don't know how to track just the net carbs. Thanks for the picture comment! Not a real flower though!

Hey there...that definitely is frustrating!! I started a new program with Swedish weight loss, and I'll tell you what my calorie intake should be. I am 5"4, weight 263, and am 38. I don't know if this will help, but maybe it's a good guideline? Calorie intake - 1300-1500 Protein - 130-150 grams minimum Carb - 50-80 grams…

I just bought separate food items for me and my boyfriend. He actually does most of the cooking but I usually shop. I pointed out the differences to him, so hopefully he won't eat my versions of anything! I can understand the freak out though. It's like "Why aren't you helping me? Are you trying to sabotage me? It's hard…
