you gotta give it a lot longer than six days, some of us lose weight a lot slower than others. Slow and steady and just experiment. Make sure you're eating healthy, good portions, and exercising, and you'll get there eventually.

If you got it, flaunt it! Just make sure your clothes aren't matching a 16 year old's and you should be good. If you got it from the women's section, I don't see a problem. If it's super obvious, you were buying teens clothing, then that'd be awkward. Otherwise, just sit back and have fun!

Being that I'm gluten intolerant, I didn't really kick up my carbs (wanted to, but gluten free stuff is too pricey and half of it has eggs or milk in it - I went vegan). There are vegan/vegetarian groups you can join on myfitnesspal and they have recipe recommendations. Raw is usually best, but obviously not everyone…

Also, if you're gonna be eating tofu, make sure you press it--- paper towel method or you can get a tofu press.

It works out great for some people and not so great for other people as you can see from the postings! If you're both ready, then I'd pop the question. I mean, clearly you already care about her a lot and, honestly, would it be any less hard if you broke up now than say if you were married (sure, there'd be some legal…

Hi, Judy, welcome to the mfp!!!!! Sunflowers are my favorite! :)

I think everything makes me overeat. Stress and depression and nervousness seem to be the biggest ones; so anything anxiety and depression related. Oh, and boredom!!

My workout life hasn't been very good recently. I'm getting a pedometer and seeing if that'll get me to move more. I just always seem to be lacking energy, not really sure why-- I think it's more habit now, than anything. I'm actually eating pretty good but I'm not exercising as much as I should.

Hey, I only came up with stuff from your OP. Anyone comparing their 30 yr old boyfriend to their 12 year old nephew is gonna sound odd. And, actually, I think I'll use my ignore button now. I still think this is completely made up.

Hi! I understand the feeling. I went vegetarian last fall when a neighbor did for health reasons, then while looking up vegetarian recipes I stumbled onto Compassion Over Killing and went vegan pretty much that day. I also watched Earthlings and that was pretty much it for me. I had some idea of the cruelty I was…

I'm trying to go raw, too! I tried back in December, but I had only recently changed my way of eating and thinking and I didn't really know the vegan staples or anything. Now that's it's been a few months, I'm gonna attempt to give raw a try again. I do agree about not being a purist. I have more vegan things in my kitchen…

You might also want to look into therapy. Seems like more than just a weight issue. You've said your eating is out of control. Sounds like it could be an emotional eating thing, but none of us here can diagnose you. The regular doctors have already found you have diabetes and given you recommendations on what to do. You…

Feel free to add me, too!!

Gotta say this sounds made up. First of all, even if your boyfriend did lose, he should have just faked out that he let him. Second of all, why the heck would anyone cry over a 12 year old, regardless if they are stronger or not. He could have either faked he let him win or laughed about how incredibly strong your nephew…

I have an open diary, though my logging hasn't been great. I'm trying to rectify that.

On the flipside, I blamed myself for everything and had to go to therapy to realize that not everything was MY fault and some blame laid with my parents. Also, therapy is a wonderful thing and it's not expensive; you can actually get it for FREE through most local universities if you look into it and are willing to let…

I've found http://www.thisrawsomeveganlife.com/ to be extremely helpful to me!! I try to make most of my foods raw but I do grill up stuff and I will resort to processed stuff-- I'm trying to go more and more raw. I don't shy away from closeout sales of vegan processed items, though. I've been trying to eat of fruit and…

You must have posted this for ME!! Thank YOU so much!! The mpf recipe maker totally never crossed my mind. I've been scratching my head at mfp a few times, trying to figure out how to enter the food I've made (all veggies and fruits with some snacks). But you have RESCUED me!! THANK YOU for your super informative post, you…

Sugar cravings STINK. I hate them!! I had it the worse with pop. Never been the biggest ice cream fan and dairy upsets my stomach. Also, IBS-- cakes and doughnuts generally upset my stomach (though I LOVE them, but now I always think of how upset my stomach will get and also will it be worth the extra weight I might gain…

I have actually cut out almost all gluten (sometimes there might be some in seasonings (the stuff to prevent from caking) that I miss and every once in a while I might have a flour tortilla instead of corn or a small slice of bread but I generally don't eat meat, gluten, or dairy products because of my stomach (yeah, I…

(Don't know if mfp has multi quote) Okay, I will definitely do that and adjust my macros as well. Super, SUPER happy to get such great advice, thank you SO MUCH! I do have pretty severe IBS. Am going to adjust my macros now and see what happens in the next few weeks based on it!

Yes, she does it based on her trainer's recommendations and I'm not going to claim to know more than him! So I really appreciate your input, thanks so much for your time and kind words and advice!

Thanks! Yes, I will focus more on my food scale and changing my setting.

Yes, I always wondered about this, but all the detoxes claim someone said something (and it's not quite like a fast). I have a friend who is very fit and healthy (has her own trainer, goes to the gym two hours almost daily, etc) and she regularly detoxes so I was just wondering if I missed a memo somewhere.

Appreciate this. I've been trying for two years now and I've only ever lost weight when I get on birth control pills. I have a food scale, I just don't make good use of it. Been doing Jillian's 30 Day Shred. Not sure if the account is set to 1lb per week, will check my settings. Thanks!

I'll usually glance at the calories on something but if it looks too high, I just won't eat it. I've become pretty healthy in the past few months (vegetarian, cut out diary and drink very little pop) so I know most of my calories are healthy calories (but am still careful with avocados). Then I just log it into…

No, me and my friend did it together and she's taller than me and got more calories.

Wait, wait, wait. When I first entered all my stuff into MFP, they said they were calculating it based on body fat/height/weight/whatever to determine how I could healthily lose weight and how many calories I should have to help me get there and it was 1200 calories. I always thought that people who were starving…
