Yes I have been tested, I guess i should have been more specific i am midly allergic to many things and very lactose intollerant. Generally the stomache comes from eating something im midly allergic too, however since i learned what im allegric too i dont eat them however there must have been something in the food my…

I completly understand, and i really do appreciate your concern, I am open to learning more and am not set on what one person tells me even if it is her job. Thank you for your apology and I thank you for taking the time to try to explain why you disagree:)

Yes i do understand that thats why i said lost weight and lived a healthy lifestyle, i was meaning that they kept it off after the weight loss. and your actually reiterating alot of my statements about why you gain weight because you starving if you eat to low, the key of my point was that some people can survive their…

This is what im talking about! I am so thankful for someone who has an artical and wants to actually explain their arguement, Just as he doesnt have to think im right none of you have to think my dr is right, but it is not uneducated and at least he has a reason to believe what he does. and I have no problem reading this…

You do not have to agree with what i say, And i do enjoy feedback thats postive and helpful which some of your defintley gave. Im not saying im right im not claiming to be an expert. As i said i just joined so i havent had the trail and errror of this website yet. If you have something to say or completly disagree thats…

Im sorry that it wasnt helpful to you, It was very helpful for me so I shared it. She stated that starvation mode is not something that just happens if your not getting 1200 calories because maybe your particular body doesnt need them. Starving is a real thing however people who are really starving and have been are not…

Thank you everyone for your opionons, I want reiterate that I was not pin pointing anyone of you as being wrong or saying your method was wrong, I joined this website a week ago I saw alot of conflicting information, Some which i thought i knew about but i wanted to be sure so I simply asked someone who had the credentials…

She is a very reputable nutritionist and i think it would be a much more intelligent descion for someone to listen to a dr (not even saying it has to be my dr) then a chef of a catering company. im not trying to be rude, but I didnt ask for what YOUR negative thoughts were, i simply shared information from what i learned…

Just so you all know im not really looking for why you believe its wrong, I asked the person most informed on this subject. Maybe something different works for you however i will always chose to believe a person whos career is to help people lose weight. I was not posting this to have you tell me im wrong, Im posting this…

Im not sure why you would say this. Clearly it is not uninformed being as how i just got the information from a docter who specializes in this topic...Therefore the science would not be wrong either because her degree happens to be in this "science". Just because you believe different and maybe something different does…

I understand! From my experience its mind of matter, you just have to make thats decsion to not do it. I had to be very scheduled with my diet no deciding what to eat no waiting until your hungry, you really have to change you views on what you think of food as. And beyond that just take it one day at a time, Its something…

Thanks for posting that!

I was told when i first to took a nutrition class to look at it like this: Your body does not restart the next day it does not know the difference if you eat 500 1 day and 2000 the next day, you could just aim for an overall amount of calories throughout the week. Example if you are trying to eat 1500 calories a day you…

The one and only time i lost weight the healthy way and kept it off for an extended time i had dreams of reaching my goal and it motivated me so much! I thought i was the only one haha

I personally loathe the weight room and would rather do anything else then those machines, so i do cardio at the gym and then i come home and do pilates and workout videos that use hand weights along with some body weight excerises such as push ups, squats, lunges ect.. (i just got back into it about 2 weeks ago) however…

Good thinking, Everyone can share what they know to be right and what works for them (as i did) However every single body is different i personally do not lose weight if i dont eat something small in the morning but maybe it will work for you. Are you putting creamer or anything in your coffee? My mother in law does coffee…

I understand your pain, Gaining weight and eating bad is just so easy...motivating yourself to eat right and lose weight is so tough especially when theres alot of food you want! ha But you can do it! For me ive just been trying to change the way i think about food, its so easy to get caught up in celebrations and life in…

Food is what makes your metabolism work the more often you eat the faster your metabolism gets, So essentially yes breakfast does because it starts the eating for the day earlier and then if you eat small snacks throughout the day it keeps it going.

YES!:) I did read the artical and the first thing i notice is he talked about fasting...naturally if your fasting your going to get hungry and eating food is going to make you more hungry. Beyond that i dont think the artical is very good, He says that some people eat breakfast and then feel hungry 30 min to 2.5 hours…

Your probably getting more fit so you have more energy but like he said dont use it all at once keep going the same speed and use that energy to run a little further instead of faster.

I have also heard this alot however i disagree i dont think its that far off, for instance today MFP told me i burned 845 calories with all my workouts and i actually burned 835....so not too big a difference at all. and its generally not far off at all.

Funny you posted this! I just replied to another post and mentioned my carb issue. This summer ive been trying to lose weight just watching calories and working out, if it fit in my calorie goal i ate it...I wasnt losing so i thought i wasnt tracking right so i joined MFP about a week ago and made sure i put everything in…

Just remind him that maybe that will work for him, and your body is different! haha Perfect example I have always work at least 5 days a week and always have however food is what makes or breaks me specifically CARBS! My body just reacts weird to them even to what is considered a normal amount it does not matter how much i…

Awesome job!

gerripho- I basically just decided i needed to start today i didnt really have an eating plan, however the excerise is something i already do very regularly i workout 6 days a week strength training 3-4 and cardio everyday. I try to run at least 15 miles a week. I just eat enough that it doesnt seem to mattter haha. Im…

Im loving these analogies you guys are giving! I think this website is really going to help me out...infact since writing my post i havent eaten anything else bad...i know its not that fabulous only 4 hours but its a small victory! lo

I really like that analogy! I think being on here might be very helpful to my success!

thanks everyone, One day at a time is how im trying to looks at it..its just hard as im sure all of you have experianced! I actually feel like i did worse today then i do on a normal day its like since i told myself i cant have this junk anymore its all i wanted and i couldnt stop.

also now that it has been this long she is able to add it in in small portions throughout her diet.... basically it was just easier fir her to start that way so she wasnt craving her favories for the first little but and was able to keep it up long enough to kick the cravings

she ate everything she wanted the day before she started after hearring a co worker tell her how it worked for her... im not saying its a great way but for someone like her who likes to binge eat it was her way of saying this is eat and a year and a half later it has worked for her
