Lmao, I'm sorry, I had to vent. I do feel better now.

I am in no way disregarding this information, but I am curious. Is there anything you can link me to with information on the metabolic processes with alcohol? I'm taking a biochemistry course right now and this seems relevant. I really am just curious :)
-
This is terrifying haha (the link, that is.)

Every day for Happy Scale (I like that it produces a graph that shows overall trend) and new lows here. Funny how so many other people do the same thing here :smiley:

I have a Mirena now (LOVE IT!!) and it has not affected my ability to gain or lose weight. Also been on Depo (also liked it, just wanted something more permanent) and had a similar experience.
-
Definitely recommend using a food scale. You're likely overeating. I was at your current weight last year when I decided to start getting serious, and bought a food scale. This morning I'm at 141.6 (after losing, I took off some time and just maintained, I'm now trying to lose another 10lbs) I do not eat perfectly and…

Happy scale is awesome! I recommend it.

If your clothes washing situation hasn't changed, this might not be it. When I was living in an apartment that had a laundry facility you had to pay to use, I was not using enough detergent and filling the washers up too much. I had an armpit stank that I could not figure out the cause of. Turns out I was just not washing…

I was able to lose ~12lbs after I got my Mirena. Not because I switched to it, but because I bought a food scale and became honest with myself about my diet. I was on Depo previously and at one point had lost ~20lbs on it. My weight overall between BC has gone from 155-143-135-155 on Depo, then from 155-139-142(now) on…

Still honing in the recipe. I think it would be even better with a little oregano sprinkled in the middle! Or maybe marinara sauce instead of pizza. Either way it was delicious!

Got a deer steak in the freezer right now. My boyfriend is a hunter. I've gone through over 8lbs of deer burger, a tenderloin, and a roast since November. I love make tacos and chili with the burger because it is so lean it crumbles better than beef. I made the roast in the crock pot and it was supposed to be a sort of…

I just eat a probiotic yogurt every day and it really helps my digestive system. Keeps me regular ;) and cheaper than pills, I'd imagine.
-
Good luck! I was 80/10/10 vegan for around a month. I enjoyed it, but I became intolerant to bananas (they give me horrendous stomach cramps now!) and it was very time consuming :(. Read 80/10/10 by Douglas Graham. I found it to be an excellent tool.
-
That's a good thought. I don't drink anything but water (besides the diet coke obvs). I've never been a coffee drinker either. I couldn't drink it in the morning lol, too early for soda IMO. Gee thanks, it's not like I hadn't already considered that in my post :o
-
Recently I've been doing a probiotic vanilla yogurt cup (110cals), an apple (weigh for cal), and a sweet and salty peanut granola bar. It's around 330 cal depending on the size of the apple, but I find the combo keeps me full for a considerable amount of time. Plus you can take all 3 on the go! ~9g fat, 7g protein. You…

Check some cereal boxes for iron content, I have found that some have a surprisingly high amount in them. Drink a glass of OJ with your cereal at breakfast and that would be an awesome start! Others have also mentioned great ideas, I find cereal to be the easiest personally.
-
Thank you. :) I so wish it were more of an exact science haha
-
My current goals are to continue to lose weight. I have lost 15lbs so far. I really only have maybe 10 more pounds I want to lose. I was eating ~1,500 calories a day not working out and I was very unfit. So I guess my main concern is that I feel that I should be eating more than that because I have more lean mass than I…
-
Nope that sounds about right
-
Whenever I wear jeans or any tight fitting pants, my legs get suuuuper itchy after I take them off. Especially if I got hot in them during the day and especially behind my knees. It's an intense itch that is only satisfied for maybe seconds after scratching. Maybe not what you're experiencing, but it's something to think…
-
Because fat is energy and that energy doesn't just come from thin air. It's called physics.
-
My main dairy source is cheese, and I eat full fat cheese. I also use regular butter (for recipes), but I'm not opposed to margarine if it's on toast or something/if it's what's laying around. Basically I'm not particular with butter. I don't like milk or yogurt, but I can tolerate greek yogurt sometimes and everything…
-
To be honest, I would find a new doctor if that is a route you are serious about perusing. I had to go through three doctors until I found one that would let me get the Mirena. Best decision ever btw. I also never want kids, but at 21 there is no way I would find a doctor willing to sterilize me so an IUD is the next best…
-
That's awesome!!! Keep it up :smiley:
-
Not that I need to be replying to this thread again, but why the hell not. ^this man is thinking the exact same thing as me. Every single reply that OP has made is just an attempt at covering her *kitten* and she's not very good at it. You say that carbs have to be "THIS!!!!" for optimal bodily function performance, but…
-
If you were trying to promote balance, you are going about it the wrong way by putting a negative connotation on carbohydrates. The current trend is that carbohydrates are bad and should be avoided, just like fat used to be (and still is to a large extent). As I'm sure you are aware, there are a lot of uninformed people…
-
Taken out of context - yes. Negativity towards carbs - also yes.

Get a food scale and start weighing everything and logging accordingly. I'm no doctor, but you obviously have your baby's health in mind. Please, please, PLEASE, don't be doing any "diets" while you are breastfeeding. Eat a balanced diet with a small deficit and you will lose weight.
-
Yes!!! Get a food scale!!! Best $15 I've ever spent!
-
So I'm not really sure what you are doing here. It sounds like you are a MFP rep or something, telling us what the app does for you? Also you talk like carbs are bad and I am not a fan of that kind of (I was trying to think of a better word, but) bull****.
