I do not have the issue but my husband does. When he was younger he said he drank himself into a 'coma', and would chuckle about it. Come to find out, the truth is, he likely was close to a coma many times. It took him a year after realizing his physical issue with sugar and alcohol, to finally give up the alcohol. Sadly,…

HIGH FIVE!!!!! WAY TO GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BF saying that he only thinks about himself.... he is telling you the truth. Believe him. Is this the man you really want to be with? Then you need to ask yourself why you would settle for someone who doesn't think you are perfect how you are right this minute, and love and support you in any effort you take on to be…

Congratulations on how far you have come in your journey! What an awesome AWESOME effort you have put in! You must be so proud of yourself! You SHOULD be!!!!!

I have heard many people react to anything GF from Trader Joe's. I was not medically tested for gluten. I stopped gluten on my own and my entire health began to change dramatically for the better each day I was GF. There is no way I would go back to it for two weeks, just to get a medical test. I wouldn't torture my body…

I am totally grain free. After finding I was gluten/corn/soy intolerant, I decided why bother with any grain. Regardless what the food pyramid or advertising tells us, you do NOT need grain in your diet to survive. Honestly, I don't miss 'grain' things. I can't begin to tell you how wonderful I feel without it!!!! If you…

Oh WONDERFUL JOB! That had to be so thrilling!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am doing a happy dance with you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Never let yourself get hungry. Doing so triggers our mind to want us to eat more than we should. That isn't your fault, its the imbalance in our bodies, the starvation mode of them, its biological. that takes control and rules what it going on with us. If that happens, its a very hard urge to fight. Don't look at your diet…

I did not join MFP to lose weight. I had gave up on that resigned to being overweight. I joined to log my food, since my family said I eat like a bird. They were right, I was averaging 800 calories a day. I had been ill for a long time and I had no appetite, felt sick if I put too much in my tummy, and just ate till I was…

Me too. I began taking 10 mg of melatonin and put a lavender air freshener by my bed. I go to bed at the same time every night and get up at the same time every morning, keeping on a schedule. These seemed to help me tremendously. I always wake before the alarm clock now.

I love the 'points' too~ ! LOL You are doing fantastic !!!! I bet you feel like a rock star! Its an amazing feeling when we challenge ourselves and succeed, isn't it?? I am so proud of you too!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, it could have something to do with going gluten free. Your body is altering how it works, without the gluten. (in a much healthier way!) This can affect your thyroid, and other hormones. I would not worry about it. Give it a couple months months and see if things don't return to regular for you, before you worry and…

I weigh every morning. It works for me. I do fluctuate. I don't call it obsession. I would rather see it daily and see when it goes down, than to get on once a week, and that day happen to be a higher weight day, and think I had made no progress that week.

Way to go! What an awesome awesome job you have done! Look at how far you have come! Can you believe it???? Wow! What a journey it has been, eh? Look in the mirror and tell yourself just what a strong awesome person you are. You have already come more than half way on your journey! You must love how you look and feel…

I am much older, and have yo-yo'd in weight over the years. I am very flabby already and the weight lost is showing in some more flab, so yes, I worry too. Think first of getting healthy, for yourself, for your son. Think secondly of doing something for you when he is napping, after he goes to bed, or getting up earlier…

The summation of...."They ate like they were starving, but by their size they obviously were not" Sorry, but this is so untrue. More obese people suffer from malnutrition than do thin people in this country. Our bodies ARE programmed to eat when we see food. You take someone who is suffering malnutrition and yes, they may…

I did not gain when I upped my calories. I began losing 2 lb a week. :) I upped the calories using healthy fats (coconut oil and an avocado a day) and protein. It may have made a difference that I did not increase carbs to fill the calorie deficit, on that I don't know. I just know I began losing with my fat/protein…

I have made a version of this pizza, I used egg, cauliflower and Parmesan cheese for the 'crust'. If you like a thin crust pizza, you will be amazed at this 'pizza's" flavor and texture! I have a son who HATES cauliflower, yet came in while we were eating this, he ate a slice and LOVED IT! LOL It doesn't hold together well…
-
I went through a spell where I missed pizza too. Funny thing is, I only ate it about twice a year when I 'could eat it'! Silly mind! But I have thought about how many years I tried to control my ever growing weight, and I passed on things like croissants... now I wish I had eaten myself sicker when I could! LOL I have…

Thank you all for sharing!!!!! Its supportive to know I am not the only one here with other intolerances. My most frustrating thing was trying to find the combination of food/calories that would produce weight loss. I joined MFP to log calories after different family members said I ate too little, and they were right! I…

I am another who lived in a brain fog that many times bordered on thinking I was mentally ill. I couldn't stand myself, so I am sure family couldn't! I am a happy bubbly person now that I am GF. Its been like Dr Jekyll/ Mr Hyde. I also suffered a great deal of inflammation in my body, some of which took months to go away.…

Hey Weylon! Welcome to the 'good life'! I too think gluten is evil! LOL Ok, maybe not for everyone, but certainly for a great deal of us! I would like to make a suggestion to you, to do a detailed food diary for health in a notebook. Not necessarily how much you consume, but for this diary keep detailed track of every bite…

I am Celiac (gluten kills me, literally). Didn't find out until age 50! Struggled all my life with health issues and crushing depression, bouts of paranoia and anxiety. Constant, never ending brain fog. I actually have no memory of several years of my life, which I now know was gluten. I spent my life feeling like my mind…

Having lost a great amount of weight in my life before, let me assure you... they are not totally gone forever. Twice before I have lost a 50+ lbs. First, my face looked thin and saggy, then the chest..... then the tummy. I lost it from top to bottom. HOWEVER, when I maintained my weight loss... in about 4-6 months, the…
