  • I used to see a nutritionist who wanted me to eat 3 small healthy meals and 2 150-200 cal snacks between. This was due to trying to eat for PCOS, insulin resistance and trying to keep my blood sugars from spiking and dipping. I hated it. I wouldn't be hungry and as soon as I would have my approved "snack" of a bit of…

  • another nerdy gamer gal looking for a few MFP friends for motivation and support on my journey. I've lost about 20 lbs already using MFP to track (and with the help of my doctor) but I am starting to lag in motivation and the last few days have been bad due to stress and grief. I just had to put my long time loved cat to…

  • My best friend is in the category of one of those more slender gals who just wants to lose 5-10 lbs. and tone up. She is constantly down on herself because she doesn't feel sexy or doesn't thinks she looks good due to those body imperfections she sees in herself. Whereas me, with 100+ lbs. to lose wishes I could be where…

  • I too am on Phentermine for about a month now (15 mg daily). and at first had the same no desire to eat and had to force myself to. I started tracking on MFP and saw that I was getting about 800-900 calories and since then have been making a concentrated effort to get about 1200-1300, and to make them healthy. I found…

  • More info on Topomax (also known an topiramate) http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0000998/ It's main uses are for seizures and migraines. Some people have reported weight loss on this medication which is unusual since other types of seizure medication is known to cause weight gain. This was told to me directly…
    in Topomax for weight loss? Comment by murphyraven November 2012
  • Mostly due to being right on target (or darn close) with MFP guidelines for fat and protein. So finding ways to add a few more calories without going overboard in other areas is sometimes tricky. I know with good fats I shouldn't be too worried about what MFP numbers are, especially if I am not going waay over. Oddly…

  • thank you. new to MFP so haven't gotten into the habit yet of doing searches. I'll take a look around. I am on the lowest dose of the medication. Its not that I can't eat, its that I no longer have that NEED to. I think most of it is that I am so over zelous of wanting to get my weight under control that I am working…
