WHERE are you getting your information?? This is just nuts. Which you could use, BTW, to get some much needed healthy fats into your diet. Your hormones are going to get royally screwed up. Where do you suppose your muscles are going to get the protein they need for repair on that low protein level? When your hair starts…

You choose a goal, and set your mind to reaching that goal. Before you do something that might interfere with that goal, you ask yourself , "Is it worth it to have X, if it delays or prevents me from reaching that goal?" If you find yourself continuing to do things that interfere with your goal, then apparently you don't…

We recently had a marathon thread about a young lady who had the same problem. She thought that counting calories actually made her eat more, and eat more junk instead of 'healthy' foods. In her case, she had quite a bit of weight to lose, and was prone to binging. She also had an excuse for everything that was suggested.…

Do they go well with Liver and a nice bottle of Chianti?

^^This! But most of us enter it as, 'walking the dog'. :blushing:

^^BINGO! And welcome to the world of living with someone with Aspergers. Think Sheldon, from The Big Bang Theory. SO many Sheldon's on here! And of course there are the people who just like to argue for the sake of arguing. But be careful that you don't accuse them of "typing just because they like the cool clicking sound…

True friends do not use emotional manipulation to get attention. If you are not suicidal, as you claim you aren't, then don't even speak of it in vain. Using that to get someone's attention is SO wrong, and is a bad road to start going down. I agree, too much drama.

What are you, 12?

Start by eating the whole eggs, not just the whites. Don't be scared of fats. You need them.

If you are going to eat a meal out of a vending machine, Snickers is the best option. Lots of protein and healthy fats from the peanuts, compared to other choices of sugar or chips. Not the greatest dinner to have, but occasionally won't kill you.

Extremities first- legs, arms, face, hips. The only place left to lose now is the belly! Please belly go away!:sad:

Welcome. What a roller-coaster of life you have been thru. I can't imagine losing one of my children. But you sound like you have an inner strength like no other, to have gone thru what you have. Keep up the great attitude and determination to take back your health. Your children will thank you for it. Read thru the forums…

And THIS is why I would never delete you! :drinker:

I delete pretentious people who use big words. Nah, actually I just never add those to begin with. People get deleted for various reasons all the time. Nothing to get offended over. It's not like they are your besties and you have sleepovers.

Whoa.I have to jump in here real quick to say congratulations on your amazing progress. 222 lbs in a year is phenomenal. You truly look like a different person. Good for you for the mental as well as physical transformation.

^^This. Happiness IS a choice. It comes from how you deal with your current situation. Many people who become morbidly obese, have many mental and emotional issues that probably contributed to their obesity. If they do not address those issues, then weight loss alone will not fix them. A reputable weight loss clinic…

what exactly IS that disgusting mess above?^^ It certainly is not the beloved potato!

Aww now I really want some Micky Ds fries!

My daughter told me about it. She had lost a bunch of weight before she got pregnant, using this app. After the baby, I joined MFP with her while she lost the baby weight. My loss has been slower, but I'm not 26 anymore! I quickly found a lot of other women around my age who were succeeding, and off I went. The forums can…

QFT

You are WORRIED that people are too WORRIED about what they eat? Ironic post is ironic.

But there is very little real food in that 5000 calories. Sheez. If I had that many calories to work with, I'd be eating steak and cheeseburgers! I couldn't stand to eat 5000 cals a day of protein powders, marshmallows, and sugar cereals. That's gotta get old quick. Fortunately, we all get to choose what and how much we…

I believe stated that you had a wheat sensitivity in your post, which is quite common, even for those without celiac. I have the same thing, and do much better without wheat in my diet. I simply cut as much bread products out of my diet as possible. At restaurants I simply skip over the bread and order grilled chicken or…

Came back to finish reading the last thread and was so sad to see it gone. :sad: :sad: Then I thought.. I bet there is a new thread, and found it quite easily. Gotta love you guys!:smooched: :heart: :smooched: :heart: :smooched:

I understand your frustration completely. When I was 50 pounds heavier, I knew I didn't eat perfectly, but 1600-1800 cals a day should NOT have resulted in gaining 10 pounds in a year. My husband saw how much less I ate than he, and was baffled as well why I continued to gain. After almost 2 years on here I have discovered…

Oh yeah, the realistic ones are so gross. Welcome to the good ole boy hick town I live in. Where are those wire cutters?!

Texas. Everything is bigger in Texas, haven't you heard??

I live in a rural town in north Texas, about 15-20 minutes away from the nearest larger city. When we first moved here, there was one IGA grocery store and zero fast food places. One little Mom's Cafe where people went for family meals out. We got a Sonic soon after we moved here and that was great. We didn't have to drive…
