Weird, you had Pizza Hut Sausage and Pepperoni a few days ago. They have a drive through - so isn't that fast food? Get over yourself.

I'm sorry. I foster at-risk kittens who have lost their mothers to disease, so I am very familiar with loss. This year I've fostered 45 baby kittens and lost three to disease. It's heart-breaking. With the connections we make with animals, it's hard to say if someone can ever get over the loss of an animal they truly loved…

I have a good one. I had been dating my boyfriend for two years when I became ill. I have endometriosis and pelvic pain, so obviously, my doctor I saw was a gynecologist. After I came home one day and told him the doctor said I needed surgery as soon as possible, he says... "How does he know that?" "He did a pelvic exam…

You don't have to eat what your family eats. Buy the food you know is healthy and eat that. For exercise, walk around the block or get a treadmill. Your health depends on YOUR decisions, not your family.

Someone on here told me, "Weight loss is in the kitchen, fitness is in the gym" - so, yes, you'll still lose weight as long as you have a calorie deficit. I can't exercise because of a medical condition so I always eat only 800-1000 calories a day.

I'm a smaller size than that and I I have the same problems - I always say things to myself like, "Well, I could always have eaten less. I didn't have to eat that," about foods, healthy or not healthy. I know that thinking like that isn't good and is a set-up for a true disorder. I try to reason with myself and eventually…

I never eat 1200 - I'm usually between 800-1000. And I've had no problems losing and now maintaining.

I agree - any time you take a fiber supplement, make sure to start small and drink more water than you normally would. Otherwise it'll make your stool bulky with no lubricant to help it get out.

If you drink nothing but water or no-calorie drinks (diet stuff) then you'll cut a lot of calories just like that. Steer away from those stations in the dining hall and towards the soup and salad bar. Also, fruits and yogurts and cereals are good options. Those are mainly what I eat when I eat at school. Also you could set…

Smoothies, granola cereal/bars, maybe add some peanut butter to a granola bar? Those would all add up to at least a few hundred calories.

I didn't eat all day and then ate about 800-900 calories at family dinner.

I have six chronic diseases, all of which cause pain on an (almost) daily basis when they are active (it's kind of like cancer where some times it's active, other times it's in remission). When I'm in remission I can manage to walk on a treadmill for awhile at a good pace, but I've been out of remission for about 3 months…

From what I've been reading, the only reason someone would up their calorie count is if they weren't getting enough with 1200, for example if they have a high weight or exercise a lot. If someone isn't getting enough calories, their body might hold onto whatever they do eat, causing the weight loss to stop. You can use…

I can offer a few tips - I don't have a gym membership either, in fact, I can't do any exercises other than swimming and walking because of a health condition. So, I found a $70 treadmill on craigslist and use that when I can. Walking really passes time if you're listening to music or, as I do, watching stand up comedy on…

Well, earlier I put a comforter in the bathtub to dry out. Later I was looking everywhere for my kitty Ramsey and it turned out there she was, cuddled up in the (now dry and fluffy) comforter, in the bathtub lol.

I can't workout because of a medical condition, so I make sure to keep under my calorie goal and everything's okay. Weight loss happens in the kitchen, it's fitness that happens in the gym.

I don't have a scale. I can tell by how my jeans fit and by my face.

I don't need to be losing weight. I have become obsessive with calories and how much I eat everyday. I become angry at myself anytime I eat more than 1,000 calories. I always think I can be thinner and thinner. I know this is an unhealthy way of thinking but do not take steps to change it.
