  • I am not bi--polar, but take a series of medications for other medical issues. I know that I began to gain weight, as a result of the meds because my habits had not changed. But then I got so depressed about the weight gain...I stopped exercising altogether. I even stopped coming on this site. Well, I determined to lose…
  • Cayenne...pretty much everything I cook.
  • I have some...will begin tomorrow. Thanks for sharing this info!
  • Double post...sorry
  • Jerzee :flowerforyou: Best REPLY REWARD goes to you!
  • Unjury.com...I use unjury (strawberry sorbet; chocolate; and unflavored in other foods or with pink lemonade crystal light)
  • Thanks for the info, and for taking the time to post it.
  • I bought some and I have to say that combined with MFP...still not any significant weight loss. I was planning to stop taking them, before this thread appeared. I can say, however, that I missed taking them one day and weighed the next morning and was down by 4lbs ???? So, I don't know if they actually cause a person to…
  • Well, when you think about diets like "atkins" it is not hard to go over in protein. If eating lean is better for us...then it would seem only logical that our protein columns would be slightly or even greatly more. I have never had exactly or less in the protein column. But I have also gone over in the fat column, as…
  • Do you or did you consume alot of salt in your diet? What type of cleanser or soap do you use? Lastly, are you using any type of topical cream? When I cut out salt...my skin stopped burning. But I began using a prescribed med for my face and that really burned. Would have to wait several hours after exercise before using.…
  • I would just add, unless you get a message indicating that you are wayyyyyyyyyyyy under the ideal caloric intake for your goal...I would agree with what has already been posted...for the most part. I know, in my case, I have been under the 1200 minimal calorie consumption level, when I burn excessive calories and end up…
  • Thanks all for the welcome and looking forward to seeing the lbs drop. I actually have lost ONE pound this week...but I am elated. Yahoo!! To everyone else doing well...keep it up. I didn't know cheese could be my downfall. I absolutely love cheese. I eat it all the time. But when I use the Food log it doesn't show as…
  • Well, I am fairly new and struggling. I've been exercising and now weigh 225; but I began on here at 220. So, I am really confused because I have cut out eating the sweets (like I use to). I feel extremely bloated today...that hasn't happened in awhile. I do have a set of medical issues that I deal with and am on…
  • I would agree that 5'7" and 120 is probably not the healthiest weight. I am 5'8" and enlisted into the military 20 years ago. I weighed in at 129 and was unable to attend basic training until I gained at least 5lbs. So, I know that 5'7" and 120 doesn't sound like a healthy weight goal. However, if it is your desired goal…
  • Thanks to you all for the encouragement. I do believe that I will succeed because I have all of you to glean from. I don 't want to make losing weight a chore. I would like it to be more enjoyable than not. I think coming to MFP will contribute to that being the case. I am a water-holic. I love water and drink it all the…
  • Hi Sherry, I am new also and needing to lose 60 pounds. I like what you posted about every pound being a show of good success. I will commit to looking at it that way...maybe it will help me not to be so discouraged.
