How do you feel? If you are losing weight too fast you probably won't feel very well. If you're eating well and you have energy to get through the day are the most important issues I would think.

Yes I want to be a smaller size ... too much weight on my back and chest depending if i am vertical or horizontal ... haven't run in forever because I can't find an adequate sports bra to keep the girls under control. I would love to be able to run again.

Have you seen a doctor? dietitian? Maybe one could shed some light on your situation.

I have a cast of my teeth also from when I was 13 and before my orthodonist put on my braces. In fact, he made another cast of my teeth after the braces came off. He entered them in some sort of professional competition and was judged first place. He kept the after cast and gave me the before.

Just can't do it the texture is all wrong for me. Amazingly I do like oatmeal cookies though. So maybe I should try the refrigerator oatmeal.

Thanks everyone for encouraging responses! I've been worried about this too but agree it is better to have sagging skin over the extra weight.

Show her this thread ... sometimes reading gets through where hearing does not.

I weigh every day just to see what is happening with my body. I compare my numbers week to week just to see how I am doing overall.

here is some other good information for you that I just happened across http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/596064-how-to-get-rid-of-a-plateau?page=1#posts-8549905

Good information ... Thank you

And I couldn't either ... when I first signed into mfp it recommended 1260 cals for me but calculated my bmr at 1400. I set my weight loss at 1 lb per week. So adding exercise would be seem to be the way to go to make the math work. I've seen recommendations to eat 200-300 calories above bmr and see if you lose weight…

This^ Except for me it was a medication that triggered the weight loss. I didn't lose as much as fast but I have been feeling awful for the last 2 1/2 months. Finally, I have been off the medication for a week. In fact today was the first day I was able to eat a meal with more calories in it than I have eaten in a day…

I've read posts about why people don't/wan't to drink ... read some posts too about how insensitive drinkers try push non-drinkers to drink and tactics to deal with these insensitive folks ... read some posts from drinkers that it's not appropriate for drinkers to push non-drinkers to drink... read posts about people who…

Gotta love this

Yep that's they way I took when I first saw it posted

Actually I don't find it weird ... I am the same way ... I like the taste of the "cakebread" sometimes but it it's butter cream frosting I cut around it and will eat the cake without the frosting. Some cake it's not worth cutting off the frosting because it's just gross anyway. If I eat frosting it is usually whipped or…

watching a movie and checking out MFP posts

Yep, CAD (had to have stents) and arrhythmia ... I had to get a doctor's release to join a gym but the doctor wants me to build up my strength and endurance slowly

yep it's sad but you can't help someone who doesn't want help

Yep I enjoyed that quote too ... it's from that movie "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel" if I'm not mistaken.

Tempe and I love it! Lived quite a few other places but this is the best.

I think nutrition education is a good start but I also think food preparation training is another excellent choice. At the risk of citing an example at the extreme but one of my son's friends didn't know how to boil water. He also didn't know how to operate a washing machine and dryer. Apparently these skills were not…

I wish I could donate blood but they won't take mine because of medications I am on. When I could donate blood though I did.

What if I am at home and bored?

Bump! In the same situation.

This is how I grew up too. And I've had men, and women, let the door "slam" in my face. I open doors, hold elevators, help people with their packages of both genders, etc. People just seem to appreciate it. But as to the OP I've seen the looks less and less as the years have passed, and as another poster pointed out you…

yep, been on the receiving end of a few of those when I was younger I'm sad to say
