Just wanted to say, be very VERY cautious about this. If you demonise food or heavily restrict certain types, what happens as soon as the kid is old enough and has enough income of their own? Yup, they go buy and eat all of that food that they've been told is terrible. Moderation should be taught. It's okay to have a…

No, it's not. Please don't spread lies. I didn't gain weight because of the depo, I gained weight because I ate too much. I'm not losing weight in spite of the depo; I'm losing weight because I have a calorie deficit.
-
Well, obviously.

Ever hear of a toothbrush and toothpaste? For the record, I drink a significant amount of Pepsi Max and Diet Coke, and my dentist LOVES my teeth.

You're not a car, you don't need a jump start. It's all calories in/calories out. Weigh, measure, and log. Plan meals if you have to. I'm on the depo shot too, and losing weight, because I'm keeping an eye on my calories.

Sugar is not a drug. One of my favourite things are the Jarrah Hot Chocolate sachets. The Mint Choc one (my personal fave) is only 59cal, plus the Mint Choc one is flavoured enough that you don't need milk. Not only is it delicious and chocolatey, but I find the warm drink fills me up and makes me feel less hungry. In…

That I didn't have to eat lettuce and other "rabbit food" for the rest of my life to lose weight. That I could still eat the things I enjoyed, I just had to be a little more careful with how much. It was a giant eye-opener, let me tell you. (I hate most kinds of vegetables and fruits.)

Nah. I eat after 7 some nights of the week because the bus does not get me home any earlier. The only rule I have is not after 8, but that's because then I struggle to sleep.

And you work thirteen hour shifts. Why should you have to do it all? He lives in the house, he can contribute to its upkeep. You are letting yourself get overwhelmed. Make him do his share.

Does your partner not clean, tidy, wash the clothes, help food shop and prep?
-
You say "running a house". Can I ask? Who else is in this house? Are they pulling their weight?

Say what now? My "big" McDonalds meal - which I can eat for lunch then happily not eat anything for the rest of the day - comes to just over 1600 calories. It's a triple cheeseburger, single cheeseburger, and two large fries, with a diet coke. And that's filling. Some days I struggle to finish my fries. I feel sick at the…

There's the answer. First time exercise? It's water. Water for muscle repair. That's it.
-
Um, this isn't an eating disorder...?
-
What? The OP describe a scamwoo juice cleanse, not an elimination diet. There's no food involved, it's all blended up fruit and veg. And food allergies weren't even mentioned.
-
What's with the deadline? It's not going to come off in a month. Also, I'm really concerned about your claim that you're "not taking in many cals a day". How many? (PS: Your body is NOT "detoxing". Unless you're an alcoholic or drug addict and you're coming off.)

A friend recommended it? Do you have to buy stuff off this "friend" to make it work?
-
Honestly? I used to curl up in a ball on the couch around a hot water bottle, take Ponstan, and cry. It wasn't a case of mind over matter for me. I couldn't just "not think about them" and they'd be gone. And exercise? Exercise made it worse. I tried lots of things. I tried swimming (nearly drowned because I was in so much…
-
That's not what the OP meant and I will wager you know that. But it's stupid the number of people who've put on significant amounts of weight over YEARS who come on here whining that they didn't lose it all in three weeks.
-
um, so everyone's giving advice and no-one is at all concerned that an overweight, apparently MALE user is trying to eat 1000 calories a day?! Please eat more, OP. Eating that little is dangerous.
-
I'm sorry but every time I see the title of this thread I visualise a slice of bread with a knife, lurking down alleyways, waiting to jump out and stab people. I find it rather ridiculous to be afraid of a food/macro. Unless that food/macro is going to kill you (allergy or something), what exactly is there to be afraid of?

Nothing inherently wrong with ice cream. How much did you go over by?
