Oh ffs I don't think you are ugly, I just don't think you should be calling anyone ugly.. You are terribly defensive over the notion that someone might think YOU ugly when you had no problem tossing the word out there in reference to someone else. There is a notion of doing the right thing(including not calling people…

I do not know you any more than you know Kate Upton ....so I suppose that makes us both rude....my point was that this girl is far more attractive than I am and I wouldn't dream of calling her ugly even if she was unattractive to me. I have no problem pulling out that word though for someone who has already used it.…

If I could hand pick a body I wanted to trade mine in for, hers would not be it but she is absolutely not chubby or fat. And if I were offered hers as a trade for the one I have, hell yes. Not to mention her face is drop dead beautiful. If she is "kind of ugly" as someone stated then half the people I know must be…

Don't worry about how much you have lost so far but do rethink how much you are eating. I started at 206 and couldn't figure out why I stalled out after the first month of eating 1200 calories. I read many posts here on MFP and learned that I was likely not eating enough. I did the research and I upped my calories and what…

I just turned 50 last week myself and it is a little tougher to lose it as we get older. I'd be glad to cheer you on :-)

How long have you been attempting to lose? Sometimes it takes a couple of weeks for your efforts to reflect on the scale. And while muscle is denser than fat it does not weigh more. A pound of fat is exactly equal in in weight to a pound of muscle. The muscle just takes up less space. Unless you have been working out with…

When are people going to realize it isn't the carbs making them fat, it is what we do to the carbs...butter them, fry them, cheese them etc. Everything in moderation.

I'm 179 and eating at 1440 and that is actually too low for me even. (Bumping it up gradually) so yes, you definitely need to eat more at your current weight. Recalculate your BMR and TDEE

It's only one week in many to come. If you do not lose this week, it could be due to many reasons....sodium, hormones, hidden calories or inaccurate calorie counting, over estimating calories burned. It is a number on the scale, it is not the only measure of your improvement. Every day, every meal, every workout is step…

no, California. Should have been from Michigan since Uncle Kracker is another one i like.

Kid Rock. Weird because i am a 50 year old middle class Mom of four with two grand.kids.

What I don't understand is why people want so badly to "debunk" organics. If I choose to buy organic on the chance that there is indeed some truth to the concept then why do others care? It's my money and I opt to spend a little more even if it is only eliminating a portion of the normally consumed pesticides. No one is…

Considering the different foods you described it does not sound like a texture issue at all. Most people with texture aversions could not go near a subway sandwich or a breaded chicken patty. Could you have preconceived ideas of what you have convinced yourself you like?

Not everyone goes through a difficult recovery. My friend was off to a weekend getaway ten days after surgery, we went out to dinner and she ate normal food(in very small amounts) Her scars were very minimal(laparoscopic procedure) and was even drinking alcohol 4 months later. So, easy recovery. Another friend was…

I always read that it takes the same will power to lose weight with gastric as it does without...bull. I have a friend who lost over 130 pounds and ate mac n cheese, mashed potatoes and gravy, and frequently ate fatty fast foods. She had to eat them in small amounts because other wise she would puke it back up,not because…

FWIW I did Weight Watchers with great success for several years and never once did I have a meeting leader encourage me to eat their products. In fact quite the opposite, they tell you that you will get more food for your point value by cooking it yourself.

your profile kind of contradicts this post...and are you 24 or 33?

Did you call him an ambulance or just let him lie there?

Eating the right foods at meal times makes a world of difference in staying full. As the other poster said, protein, protein, protein. Carbs process quickly and leave you hungry sooner. Also it's important to learn the difference between hunger and just wanting to eat. If you are truly hungry and put a decent amount of…

Hi Julie I am 49 and also dealing with an auto immune disorder. Add me and I will cheer you on. Your husband;s issues are his own, don't let them hold you back but do consider some counseling for yourself to get past his hurtful words.

I started at 206(already had lost some from my high of 234) on October 15th...I am now 183.6 I'm also old, 50 years but if you don't mind an old fart on your friends list add me and I will cheer you on your way :-)

bump

Hmmm no responses doesn't bode well for a positive answer.... :-(

I dated men of different ethnic groups with different skin and hair colors....was I just I just trying to figure out what I wanted? Oh and as for women I prefer blonds. But I like dark haired men....by your measure I must still be confused at the age of 50.

Maybe your body is smart and realizes that weighing any less than you do would be waaaay too low for you.

Please be a joke

I wasn't offended at all! I was actually worried that my tone came across to the OP as insensitive when I just wanted to better understand what she was saying. These internets!...not so good for conveying tone! In any case, OP, stick around and please friend me if you are so inclined. This is a tough battle even when one…

Jana I have an auto immune disorder of my own so I do sympathize with her. I am just not clear on what she was saying in regard to food. She seemed to be saying she does not eat which can't be true. My illness incapacitated me for a year and my medications had me gaining at a crazy rate and ravenously hungry. But I chose…
