I used take xenadrine ten years ago before they banned ephedrine and it worked very well for me. It killed some other people though. My doctor discussed weight loss meds on my last physical. My bmi was right on the line for surgery and we talked about that too. At the end of the day he recommended that I lose the weight on…

That's only a bit over 400 calories. If you're up for the experiment then just eat whatever he tells you and see if it works for you. I'm not a big fan of trainers, it's not like they went to college and got degrees in kinesiology and nutrition. Usually they train you how they train and have you eat how they eat because…

I used to have the bacon cheeseburger and large fries from five guys at least once a week. Wash that down with a big coke and it adds up to over 2700 calories in a single meal!

As long as you aren't suicidal or have extreme symptoms you should definitely be working towards stopping taking anti depressants. It sucks that they started you on them so young. Are you really supposed to be medicated for the rest of your life? Doctors are too quick to prescribe them and as you found out when you came…

I doubt they do, they don't for me. My doctor told me they are horrible for you health wise though. He says you'd be much better of drinking a regular coke.

A threesome

It's not an assumption, it's an observation, and of course there are exceptions. I live in south Florida which is also known as god's waiting room so believe me it's very common here. Anyways if your grandma would really hit somebody trying to help her she's should google anger management and get some help.

It doesn't seem like you're accurate with your calorie accounting. You can't eat more than your body burns and lose any real weight, only water. If you eat less than you burn consistently you will lose weight over time. We all work this way, you're not different. Calorie confusion can be helpful to maximize weight loss so…

Don't understand, what wasn't accurate?

Only trolls don't like bacon. They also hate pizza, ice cream, chocolate, and ketchup. You must be a troll then...

They actually recalled all the forces due to some people have that allergic reaction to them. FitBit really is an excellent company that stands behind their products with great customer service, go on amazon and read all the positive reviews to get an idea. Anyways you can send back your force and get the flex which won't…

I'm just about to go get on the treadmill. My fitbit one is very accurate in general but especially on a treadmill so I'll test it out over 10,000 steps or so. I also have other the walk tracker apps which are normally good at distance but not so much at steps.

I'm not familiar if your condition could cause a stall or not, you should ask your dr that. If not then you're just not as accurate with your calorie accounting than you realize. Your results can be slowed a little because your body adjusts to a routine but you certainly wouldn't gain weight if you weren't eating more than…

Theoretically yes it should balance out in the end on the scale.m Remember though you will lose a little every week from Monday to Friday and it won't be just fat it will be some lean muscle as well. When you eat a surplus over the weekend you should lift weights or at least do some body resistance strength training. If…

The rule of thumb is lose weight until you reach 10% body fat. Contrary to popular belief I always though it was possible to do both at there same time. Scooby has a good article about it and advice on how to train and eat to accomplish both. http://scoobysworkshop.com/gain-muscle-lose-fat/

That's not right, just walking 3mph two hours at your weight burns 450. Running 45 minutes at 5mph burns 350. Where did you get 350 from? It depends on how much you run, how much you walk, and about how fast. Try this calculator. http://www.healthstatus.com/perl/reload.pl

Boneless chicken breast is 1.99/lb everyday at Walmart. That would be 5lbs for $10.00. But honestly you need to stock up on pasta and cheap sauce like prego to stretch $100.00 for two people over two weeks. You should probably invest $10.00 on my old friend ramen soup. You can get about 30+ of the brick shaped packages for…

Fall down 7 times, get up 8. It's probably not as bad as you think, 10lbs is ALOT to gain in just 2 weeks, most of that was probably water. I hate to say but anything that you're seriously addicted to you should give up completely. Anything bad that is. If you can't control it, that can lead to gaining back that 50lbs you…

Creepy pm

Don't just shop at one market. Best advice I ever got from my doctor.

You can tighten up the muscles in that area with overhead pull downs and/or pull ups. Should give you a little lift.

Pastrami Thursdays at Blue Willy's, best sandwich ever!

It's just water. I weigh myself everyday and sometimes it will jump up two or three pounds in one day, it's just water, when I weigh in the next day or two I'm right back where I'm supposed to be. I recommend you take measurements because tape don't lie. If you had you would have seen you got smaller even though the scale…

You don't look like a prostitute at all. Then again when you're out on south beach, most of the prostitutes don't look like prostitutes at all either. Nothing worse than buying a girl drinks thinking you have a shot and then finding out she's actually "working".... You do kind of look like one of those suicide girls…

Do you like juice? You can drink your veggies in the form of fresh juice. The more fruit juice in the mix, the better it tastes. If you can drink orange juice, you can drink carrot orange juice with a few greens in there no problem.

Fitbit is more accurate than jawbone and it would at least count your ladder trips as flights of stairs and give you credit for them. No way to really account for the weight you're hauling except to estimate the minutes you spent doing it and adding them under strength training/weight lifting in the cardio section of mfp.

Don't eat as clean as humanly possible. That's usually the problem for people in your lucky little boat, they want to eat 3000 calories but can't figure out how to put down that much broccoli. Your body just needs the calories, it doesn't care where they come from. Have a few doughnuts for breakfast and eat clean the rest…

I start each day with 10k and I love it. I've found it's really made a difference in my mood and energy levels, plus I end up with 15k+ by the end of the day which I'm sure is great for my health. If all you care about is burning the calories though, there are much quicker ways.

I love them, especially at costco where the lines for the cashiers are always ridiculous. We need an age limit on them in South Florida though, say 40 and under only. There's nothing worse than watching grandma in front of you take 9 tries trying to scan each item. I've taken to jumping in and expediting the old folks, I…

Anyone???
