I had this issue where I couldn't get around to scheduling a hospital appointment because my normal doctor kept missing my calls and was on vacation. My mom said just go to the ER when you have an attack. 7 in 14 days is a lot. ER could be your best bet at relief. If a stone gets lodged it can damage your liver and…

I had my gallbladder removed in January, after suffering for a couple years with stones. I let it progress to much to the point where my gallbladder attacks were getting worse to the point of tears and throwing up. A stone got lodged in my duct and upset my liver and pancreas and I had to go to the ER, 3 hours there and I…

I try to stick to once a week. Once in the morning on a Friday.

When I go on my intense walk (1 hour burning 650-750) of mostly all up hills, I have so many extra that I cannot eat them all back and wonder if it effects me at all. I use a Polar FT4 so I imagine the calories I'm losing are accurate to a certain error margin. I'll usually eat a whole grain bread with 1 tbsp of PB and a…

I have this issue as well, it always looks like I am pregnant unless I suck it constantly. I'm 5'3'' 172 so overweight, but I've had this "prego" belly for quite some time. I haven't been to the doctor to confirm but I'm pretty sure it's bloating or something from IBS, my bowel movements aren't normal (sometimes I'll go 2+…

My limit is 1390 and I usually try to leave 150 calories extra every day (besides when I take a walk and can't eat back ALL the calories.) My diary is open to friends!

I haven't had much of a problem yet since I've only had my period once while on my diet. (Though I am due today, I imagine I'm going to be one day late since that's been my trend for a while.) I noticed I do have a little bit more cravings, but I've gotten better at controlling those urges. I have been walking at least 30…

Someone might have mentioned it already but I read that when you are wearing a HR or something else that counts calories burned, you do NOT keep it measuring your heart rate while doing strength training. You pause it until you go back into cardio exercises.

I had it bad in the beginning with sweet cravings. I stayed determined though and managed to not keep bad sweet things in the house (I'll have fruit, granola bars, yogurts, and on OCCASION weight watchers ice creams I share with my mom only 120 calories but super small!) Limiting what you have access too helps a lot. When…

I can't say I've lost a HUGE portion but I only started walking this week (Week 4 or 5) and before that I was only eating better, not walking and lost 11 pounds! I've saw people here say the same too, how they lost 50+ pounds from just eating correctly

Not SO accurate since I'm in the beginning.. First month I lose faster than the second month and I'm just starting my second month tomorrow. I was set at 1lb per week but in the first 4ish weeks since March 21, I've lost 10.8, double of the estimate. I expect slower now because I started walking (Like hell walking SO many…

I was actually questioning this too this week since I started walking! In an hour, because of the amount of hills, I was burning over 600 calories (using a Polar HRM) and I can't eat those all back for the most part and have 400 or so left over calories. Today, was my mom's birthday so not only did I go out to lunch with…

I was pretty good at guessing how much I was eating for a while, and lost 8 pounds in the first 2.5 weeks. But I know it would probably catch up to me so i bought a cheap food scale on amazon ( Ozeri Pronto Digital Multifunction Kitchen and Food Scale) for about 12 dollars (not including shipping) and it came with two sets…

I think this is happening to me currently. I've notice since losing 11 pounds, that I feel the difference in my mid section, which is great! But I feel like my boobs have gotten smaller also.. My boyfriend doesn't think so. COuld just be me lol. My thighs/face remain the same, ugh :|

I noticed this too for me! About two weeks in I was getting full, faster. To were now (day 25) I get really full with my portions at dinner time that are measured according to servings.

You can always just buy her a journal were she can write down what she eats and how much of it a day, and then she can calculate (if she wants) how many calories she taking in, just as a math thing. But never make it about her weight. It can do more harm than anything. Though best thing to do is just not to buy things like…

That does seem high. I'm obviously different at 5'3'' SW of 185 and I was set at 1400. Maybe go back in and see if everything is measured right? Weight/height/age/activity level ect.

Great video. I've tried my best not to eat out at all since starting my diet (about 2.5 weeks in) the only thing I have eaten while eating "out" where Chinese chicken and broccoli with white rice (but usually I make it last 2 to 3 servings.) Subway (black forest ham and turkey on whole wheat with light mayo, vinegar, and…

I carry most of my weight in my mid section and thighs, so I lose it there first, but slowly, of course. I'm hoping that my face, specifically under my chin gets better soon! I never had a problem until the past year.

Diet orange or Sprite. I'm not a fan of colas

I didn't do 'drastic' changes. Brown rice instead white rice. Only chicken and no ground beef. No cheeses since they are high in saturated fats and I'm watching my saturated fats, trying to stay 10g or under. I'm trying not to go out to eat as often either. If I do, I try to find something on the "lighter" side. I have…

I was curious about this myself, since last time I was on here long term, was over 4 years ago!

Garlic/pepper and cayenne or some other sort of spicy item. I have Garlic Salt so I usually void salt from things because if I use both, it's just too salty. Also ketchup as my condiment lol

I'm the same way with water. I have to have something other than water to curb the hunger. I was really hungry but knew I be having a high calorie lunch that day so I just opted for a cup of vanilla almond milk (13 grams of sugar, which is too high for me, I started putting a little bit of water in it now, and 80 calories)…

Yes! Wraps are high in calories (and carbs) and it's a good sized wrap. (it's fresh pressed too, it's perfect lol!) then all the added toppings + rice! I mean, I don't think my toppings are bad. Corn salsa has corn and onion and that's it from what I can see. Lettuce isn't bad.. Sour Cream and Cheese are pretty meh.…

I'll stay away from diet dew then, lol. I'm not a fan of Mountain Dew so no worries there. But sounded like he was referring to all diet sodas since the main topic didn't give a specific soda.

I cut out mostly anything with cheese or high in saturated fats. Since my main focus besides calories, is staying at 10 or less grams of saturated fat. (Today I manage less than 6! I used a little bit of sour cream (2tbsp had 3.5 sat fat - probably used 1 to 1.5 tbsp) but I forgot to log it. I wouldn't go over calories or…

Well get technical? Because all diet sodas I've seen have said "Calories: 0" usually just have sodium. Unless you get, I think, Sunkist 10? Where it has a few grams of sugar and ten calories.

There are so many opinions on this.. but I remember looking it up before (because friends were giving me a hard time that I drink diet sodas (not so much anymore however)) and it said it's one of the most tested things by the FDA and they have no actual solid findings. I've been drinking diet sodas, juices, syrups, ect…

I went over today too, by 37... I had brown rice so that added a lot. Also had Dreamfield spaghetti, and that's a lot of carbs, but it does say to minus fiber (so in dreamfield's case -5) and then it says minus protected carbs? (which would be -31 carbs) so there are a total of 5 digestible carbs, making the "total" 5, but…
