Meet with a nutritionist. Your insurance will be happy to pay for it. Your employee wellness center has them for free probably without any copay. Buy an exercise bike and use it at least 20 minutes a day. Three times I week I try to do 40-50 minutes. Exercise is a big part of the problem. Yes, food is the other part. If…

Do not eat white potatoes.

Lots of great advice. By the way, your nutrition looks very good. I used to get sick more than I do. I have been teaching for 10 years. Guess I have finally caught it all. I also use a CPAP, I wonder if it helps. I have been making smoothies which are supposed to make your nutrients more bioavaible. They are fun and…

For a real waffle you need to beat the egg whites and fold in the stiffly beaten egg whites. Nothing else works, which is why I hardly ever make them. Those biscuit waffles don't tempt me at all. They look gross. But it's a good start towards cooking.

Yogurt will not spoil. I have left yogurt in my lunch bag and eaten it at 3:00 pm and never got sick. Something about yogurt, I guess. Although I knew I was pushing my luck, I have tried it at least twice.

Tried that and I did not lose weight for a month. It went up. I finally got it back down again. Eat the same amount of calories every day until you get to your goal weight, then you can eat your calories back.

It's sad that so many people who work in a medical office, who have plenty of time to exercise in their evenings, are tremendously overweight and unhealthy. Don't they see the consequences of that lifestyle every day? It's just pure stupidity. You never see fat doctors. Just watch a few dissections of fat cadavers and it…

Hi Lolly! I am the same height and my goal weight is 130. It sounds to me like you are eating the perfect amount of food. I eat the same amount of calories you do, around 1500. Try to turn them on to MFP. I am glad you showed them how much you eat. It could be a revelation to them. You might be able to help them. Just show…

Yep, you go girl! I had to just go out to country western bars when I got separated, and it was fun. Get out, meet people, dance! Talk to the girls!!!! Meet some new girlfriends and you can arrange to go out with them again!

our ancestors didn't get fat eating pickles. It's just water gain. Enjoy your pickles.

Lose 10 pounds

Anyone can do squats with a pair of WIC soup cans in your hands as weights. No gym needed.

Any young menstruating woman will get anemic without taking a multivitamin with iron. Check out nutritiondata.com, and search by nutrient, this is an easy way to get more of a certain nutrient. Lack of iron is not the only thing that will make you anemic. Lack of B vitamins will do that too. So, get yourself a one-a-day…

He probably thought a size 20 was small compared to his size, which is probably a 36. Have you even asked about instead of putting it all over the board? Poor non-thinking husband. He probably thought 20 was too small.

I don't know what your health problems but I'll tell you this. Read my profile, and see how just losing a few pounds helped my health problems. I don't expect to have any of these problems after another 20 pounds or so, and if you're 21, there is no way you're getting a surgery you don't need. Let us teach you how to eat,…

I love being able to measure food, beats the heck out of dirtying every measuring cup in the kitchen. Get a scale that you can switch back and forth between metric and British, mine is called escali and I bought it on Amazon. Ruth

Check out what I had for dessert tonight. And I don't even menstruate anymore. LOL It was good.

You could be a tad malnourished, but we can't tell with a closed diary. Start taking a multivitamin with iron. Exercising 5 days a week out of 7 is recommended for good health, and 35 minutes is fine. Can you open your diary? Are you doing only cardio, or are you doing weight lighting with free weights or something for…

Based on what everyone else said I'm not going to look at your diary. But I will offer you this advice, which is even hard for me to eat sometimes: strive for five fruits and vegetables a day. They contain potassium, which will help you shed water. You are probably full of water weight at the moment. They also contain…

I wish Bill Nye the science guy would get in here.

It's giving you more than a 300 calorie deficit every day. It's not healthy.

If weight watchers had worked for you, you wouldn't be here. Open your diary, fill out your profile, get some friends, ask for advice. You are probably doing it all wrong. I'll help you, but you'll have to open your diary.

Who knows?. . .that was the problem.

You're not eating enough to even keep a woman alive. Go back to MFP and redo your numbers. And eat another thousand calories, or you will run out of calories to breathe!!!

I am glad you posted this. You can see that "never again" is not the correct philosophy. You need to portion the foods you love correctly and enjoy them as part of your diet. You can even have mac and cheese three times a day if you want, until you get sick of it. Budget your calories and plan a bit of chocolate cake every…

There is a little place for notes here at the bottom of the tracker page, you could use that as your diary.

Too much advice you can't use. Here is my advice. You cannot eat more in front of her than she should eat herself, because a woman will get enormous eating 2500 calories a day, and with you eating that, she will just copy you. It will mean that you will need to eat bigger lunches at work to get enough calories for a man so…

I hear that maple syrup is what elfs eat. No wonder they're so short. Won't try it. I do love maple syrup, but you're not meant to live off pure sugar without protein and fat. We were meant to eat meat, not syrup.

You sure spanked those pink pants girl. Way to go!!!!

Mix up what I had in my diary this morning which I call Tahini Meusli (you will need to chop up the dates and the almonds). You will probably need more oatmeal and milk than I did, because it is sized for my my 1500 calorie diet. It was delicious, if you like sesame. Then leave it overnight. My only complaint is that it…
