Just an FYI, you can customize your settings. I do a low carb diet, less than 20 grams a day, and I use this site with no issues.

I agree with everyone with the vodka with water. What I do though is mix in some Mio or other liquid flavoring. Right now I have the liquid Crystal Light mango, put that in with your vodka and water and it tastes just like a mixed drink but with no added calories or sugar! So then you're just having the calories from the…

I never messed with the settings personally. I know what I need and I don't care if MFP tells me I'm over on protein, lol! I use the site as a way to track, but I don't follow what they recommend.

I do this every once in awhile too to get back on track. I just do two days of liquids though, and then back to my normal routine. Good luck! I hope it works out for you! :) You're right, it is nice to have someone who will listen when doing things like this, because it's not as easy as it sounds!

Congratulations! You've done so well!

I'm going to stop drinking alcohol on weekdays!

Mine came back too good to be true also, so he made me go see a therapist for a month. Why is it so hard to believe that someone can actually be that happy in their lives that their test comes back very positive? I answerd all questions honestly, but thanks for calling me a liar lol!! Therapist was a complete waste of my…

Hi there, I was banded June 2012 and I've lost 116 pounds. Let me tell you a bit about my day to day and see if this helps. I am eating 800-1200 calories every day (staying closer to the 800 mark everyday), and working out at least an hour sometimes more 3-5 days a week. When I brought this up to my nutritionalist, she…

I've always felt the sales associates at plus size stores are way nicer. I always felt like it was because they understand where I'm coming from. Now that I'm just barely out of plus sizes, I walk into normal stores and for the most part I'm ignored completely. I can walk in and out without any sales associates saying one…

The biggest thing for me was the last time I flew on an airplane I almost couldn't get the seatbelt closed. My husband had to squeeze it shut with all of his strength while I was half standing. I knew at that rate the next flight I would need an extender, and that thought just brought me to tears.

HI! I was banded June 2012 and have lost 110 pounds and hoping for another 20 to reach goal weight (although more would be nice!). My advice would be to switch it up, if you're eating the same amount of calories every day and doing the same exercise in my experience the weight slows down. So what I've done in the past is…

Nice job!

Banded 6/18/12, always looking for other band friends!

Hi there! I have the band too, it'll be one year on June 18th since I've had it done. I still almost consistently lose about 2 pounds a week. I did have slow periods though where I wouldn't lose at all for a few weeks, but I just kept going and eventually the plateaus would break. Personally I usually eat less than what…

I knew the lap band was the choice for me before I even began my research, it's so different for every person though. Top reasons I chose the lap band: 1. Removable 2. Not a serious surgery that requires cutting of the stomach 3. Fluid can be removed during pregnancy so that the baby can get enough food 4. It's a slower…

I got the lap band June of last year. Anyone feel free to add me! :smile:

Sodium is a problem for me, mainly because I'm a lazy cook and several nights a week a prepare pre-made meals. I'm shocked to find out how much sodium is in things since I've started tracking with MFP. Like my herbalife protein shake I have for breakfast, close to 700 mg of sodium! That's outrageous!

I like it. I think Mirrors is the best song on the album. I didn't like the album at first though, took a couple listens. That's the same way Future Sex was for me too though.

I agree with you completely jcmartin, things have changed. I know at least 10 people who have had some type of WLS, and they've all been successful except for one. She wasn't successful because she refused to follow the rules and change her eating habits. Each person is different, you can't really base one persons…

I have the lap band :) The important thing to remember is that it's just a tool, not a solution. It helps move you in the right directly, but you have to make it a complete life style change. You can message me if you have any questions.

Yum! I'm going to have to try that sweet potato burger from page one!

Hi everyone, I started at 308 in June 2012 and I've list 90 pounds. Feel free to add me!

A pair of sexy high heeled shoes :) and I'm going to make my husband take me out on the town. I've owned only one pair of high heeled shoes in my life, and they were ugly and I only wore them twice.

I was organizing my closet this weekend and I found a belt that I used to wear every day. I used to wear it on the very first hole, you know...meaning it's as big as it can get. I tried it on this weekend and I would need to create three extra holes in the belt to make it tighter if I wanted to wear it anymore. I threw…

Hi all! I just recently lost 80 pounds, so I understand the struggle! Feel free to add me, I'm always looking for support too and don't have many myfitnesspal friends. I have about 40 more pounds to go to reach my ultimate goal! :)
