Weightloss?...If you are disabled (as you say) and doing very little exercise...if you up your calories to 1773...you should probably gain weight or at best remain exactly where you are.

You are only trying to lose 4lbs? How much body fat do you have?

The next generation is my favorite series...But...I really love all of the characters from the original series!

I can eat dairy because I always use lactaid at the slightest hint of trouble.

Congratulations...you have really done a fantastic job and you look great!:flowerforyou:

Hey...I'm betting that by the time that those politicians finish juggling you Brits (and the rest) around within the European Union...you'll start getting a clue about something.

Scary? The right to bear arms is guaranteed under to U.S. Constitution. Too many groups in America have had very bad historical experiences with being unarmed and at the mercy of the government. Just ask some old Blacks or some old Indians about what happens to you when you lose the right to bear arms in America.

Congratulations...you are now in the normal weight range (18.5-24.9%) body fat. This means that losing weight ( ie losing excess body fat is no longer your real problem)...If after losing the excess body fat...you are still unhappy with your body (dress size)...Look into doing some weight training to lose inches.

Congratulations...you look fantastic!

Great advice...and I really hope that more people on MFP will notice that at NO time did she mention anything about "upping calories"to jumpstart this individual's metabolism.

I don't know what all of the stuff that you pasted says...but the truth is that what we commonly call "starvation mode" IS about body fat...just like the poster that you disagreed with said. Low calories will put you at risk of going into "starvation mode only when your body fat falls below 5% for a male and below 10% for…

Thanks for posting.:flowerforyou:

Congratulations...you did a fantastic job!:flowerforyou:

Your profile says that you joined MFP this month...September 2012...Today is September 18th 2012....and you believe that you can make a blanket statement saying that you are "Eating less and getting fatter"? At this point...You don't even have a track record... and anybody who is willing to tell you to just eat more and up…

Since you are studying to become a medical professional...I will tell you exactly how I became morbidly obese. About 8 years ago, I suffered a very hard fall on some ice. (luckily?) I did not break any bones although the jeans that I had been wearing were ripped and torn in the place where my right leg hit the pavement.…

Appetite Suppressants NEVER worked for me...It wasn't until i changed my eating habits (ie avoided processed food) that my voracious appetite went away.

Get yourself an eating plan and then stick to it! You need to turn your focus away from the scale onto the stuff that you are putting into your body.

Congratulations...you are doing a fantastic job.:flowerforyou:

I am so glad that you made this post...Too many people on this site like to pretend that everybody can and should have the metabolism of a 23year old. People's bodies change with age ((and other conditions))...Hopefully more people will stop being so closed minded and dogmatic about what it takes to lose weight and to keep…

Congratulations...you did a great job!

And I still say that relying primarily on taste is a bad system...Now in the case of good/bad berries...You realize of course that by the time that you taste and find out that a berry is bitter...You have already been poisoned!. On the other hand...Many surviving indigenous people like the Indians always knew to watch the…

Except for taste...What do people (human beings) really know about the food that they buy/eat ?...But just because it (food) tastes good (or looks good) doesn't mean that it is good for humans to eat. Now if you really want to see something look at all of the youtube videos where dumb animals refused to eat GMO foods...It…

Exactly...besides you have to take some of these "studies" with a grain of salt...If they come to the wrong conclusions...their research funding gets cut.

In the US... Falls are the number one contributing cause of permanent disability and death for otherwise healthy elderly individuals...Body balance classes should definitely be encouraged!

Wow...25lbs of Halibut and Salmon...Girl...given the prices they charge at the grocery store...you should be storing that haul in a vault (not a freezer)....ENJOY!

Not surprised...Anybody who has ever gone to parochial school can tell you that those old nuns are some tough birds!

Richard Simmons (now on cd).

Ethan...Every new day is a new opportunity to get it right because life can only be lived one day at a time! So forgive yourself for your past failures with food and keep moving forward... always trying to do better and to learn from past mistakes....You are not alone...This process is slow (and aggravating) for anyone who…

LOL....Imagine...rewarding one's self with 4lbs of Godiva Chocolates for losing 25 lbs of excess body weight...Did your wife laugh?
