This site used to be helpful, but I'm agreeing with the HS comments. I didn't say fat was bad, and I didn't say I wanted 0 fat. I posted because I wanted to find meal ideas that were around 20-30% fat. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I want to try a new approach to lose weight. Or at least, something new to try. Any suggestions on chicken/pork recipes?

Every body is different. I would try yours and see. My mom ate high fat foods and lost 50lbs in like 6 months at the 1-2lb a week limit. I eat higher fat foods and have lost weight, but I feel like it's been a struggle. If it's what YOU need to do for YOU to be happy losing weights, try it. If you want to see if the other…

Hi All! My big thing is cheese :p. I love cheddar! Low fat cheddar just seems watered down :( So does low fat milk. What are your thoughts on low fat dairy?

But do you use a heart rate monitor? Or MFP calculation for your exercise?

I did it 3 years ago and lost weight. I tried it 2 months ago and didn't like it. The new system has nothing to do with calories. So if you eat some foot that is a lot of points, it isn't necessarily a lot of calories. At the end of the day, I felt like I was staring because I was. I started doing MFP and WW at the same…

Wow there are really a lot of ways to go with this :p. Thank all of you though! Gave me something to think about!

Hi! Congratz on the lost! I "semi" pre-plan if I can. I normally enter it before I make/ buy stuff if I can. That has come down to sitting in a restaurant w my bf and looking up nutritional information on the MPF app in order to decide what I'm going to order. But, I always try to plan how many calories I'm going to eat at…

Unfortunately it's real cake :( actually cupcakes, it was my bf's birthday a few days ago and they were staring at me all day. As for when I work out, whenever I can. Like on the weekends I do it after lunch, but durring the week everyday is different. Monday and Wednesdays normally a few hours before bed, Tuesday and…

I just opened my diary, I know I ate a bit to much sugar over the past few days :( I had been tracking on weight watchers and started to get frustrated at not losing anything :(

I actually just took 2 days off and still I feel weak at working out. How much protein should one eat? I always thought I ate a lot. And I drink a lot of water, especially working out. So idk :(

My mom lost 50 lbs eating peanut butter. She loves peanut butter and did this "Peanut Butter Diet" http://www.menshealth.com/weight-loss/weight-loss-peanut-butter-diet She however would cut her portions back say like instead of 6 oz of chicken she ate 4 oz, and a little less than 20 min before she ate a meal she ate a…

You might be better off with coffee of something with caffeine. The carb crash from the cake isn't worth it. Plus you'll crave crap all day. Another thing you could do is work out in the morning or try HIIT

Congratulations!!! 8lbs made a huge difference your inspiring me already!!! What kinda workout did you do?

Unfortunately, you pointing our her insecurities by trying to be better and making her face her own pitfalls. I know going alone can make this harder. But... You can learn to cook!!! Try getting some cookbooks like from weight watchers or biggest loser. The walk you through basics and teaches you how to swap stuff out!…

Hi, I'm glad I posted this topic! You all are so amazing! Thank you all for opening up! So far I have learned a lot from all of you. I do have another question for you guys tho!!! Have you tried High Intensity Interval Training(HIIT)? I know it's a bit new, but have read a study done in the Netherlands (reputable school…

I don't know if you've been working out for a while or not, but some ppl get exertion head aches, they go away normally quickly. Also it could be an adjustment to a new routine. But, my guess is with the others. Eat after working out. Have some carbs and protein. Make sure you get enough water!! Dehydration can also cause…

I'm only on BC, and NSAID

This post kinda made me wonder, then should you eat all of what you burned? I haven't lost any weight, but I haven't been eating my workout calories. Could this be why? Doesn't this seem... not intuitive? Shouldn't you just lose more weight? I don't understand?

AVERAGE you know that can mean all sorts of things, right? That there are several versions of what AVERAGE means. Also there is the want this study wants average to mean definition? In this case, it means some people didn't gain anything and other gained a lot. Anyway, this girl has a MAN MADE chemical in her body that is…

The shot is a very dangerous synthetic hormone. It takes over 18 months to start to get out of your body and it stores in your fat cells. Honey I wish you the best of luck. When I was 18 in 2007 I was told I had to wait until I had 2 periods before I would lose weight. I waited 21 months, and I struggled to lose the…
