I gained 50 lbs over the span of 3-4 months BUT with the bulk of it coming on in only two months. It was INSANE.

I thought PB2 was just peanuts pressed to remove the oil, resulting in a powder instead of a butter. Nothing else added. ...it's not really fake food... Just thought I would chime in, but I don't really have any recipe suggestions :P I used to eat it sometimes and it's best when you want PB taste but don't need the texture…

Oh, by the way, did your doctor test any actual Thyroid hormones? Or just TSH? You need to know at least Free T4 and Total T3. Checking Total T4 and Free T3 also will provide an even clearer picture of what is going on. And the thyroid antibodies, to check for Hasimoto's. The biggest reason I ask is there is some chance…

If the hypothyroidism is caused by Hashimoto's (the autoimmune form of hypothyroidism), it could explain the weight loss. Hashimoto's, it being an autoimmune disease, can often result in fluctuating levels - which can end up leaving you hypothyroid at some times and HYPERthyroid at others, at least in the earlier stages of…

Haha, I confused you? Sorry! To clarify, no, I am not doing a 5k to prepare for C25K. The 5k is part of a fun event at my gym that I would take part in regardless of if I had made plans to start C25K at some point in the future. It just so happens that a few weeks ago I had to make a major change in my life, with one of…

Thank you thank you thank you for all the advice! I DID read it all as soon as I saw it, I just haven't replied yet :) I really like all of your suggestions and good points. Ultimately I decided on the 6 pm one - fits tomorrow's schedule better, and this way I could do my own workout right before it. Then I'll just walk…

To clarify: on the packaging, it refers to DRY. You can measure it either cooked or uncooked, you just have to account for the calories in each one appropriately. If you made a big pot of rice and you scoop out 1 cup of it on top of your plate, you will log it as 1 c cooked rice which should be in the range of 160-250…

Dry. That is the simple answer to your simple question. Don't let people confuse you with unnecessary information ;) Yes, weight is more accurate. But weighing food all the time is not a way I, at least, would like to live my whole life - and not necessary for the majority of people. The difference is not significant…

The only potential problem I see with increasing your intake by 600 calories is you say you have a cheat day once a week. How do you define a cheat day? Do you eat whatever you want and generally end up eating quite a lot more than usual? If so, that cheat day may well make up for [at least part of] the extra deficit you…

Well here in Perm, Russia, it's -30 and might get up to -40. My gym is a 20 min walk away and I still go! But I completely understand you! :)

Why does that matter?

Can I just say that I'm starting to get the idea you want me to hold it against you?

Do I look like I would ever do such a thing?

Is there much of a difference, really? Food is food, right? Since it's 11 am here, can I join you for dinner and call it lunch?

Do you want lunch, too?

I thought you could only ask questions? Was the rest of his post not in statement (ie. non-question) form? Or am I just reading into this too much?

Did you just not ask a question?!?!

Would you like me to do it?

Do you know how to make braids?

Is anyone else in the mood for lunch?

Can I have a shoulder rub...?

:O Now how am I supposed to know which question to answer first?!

What is this magical game of a thread I have not yet discovered? Why did I not see this before? Will joining you guys help distract me from my confused and depressed state right now? Am I asking too many questions?

Привет! Я иностранная студентка балета в хореографическом школе в Перми (я не из россии, а это мой первой год здесь). Поэтому, я не говорю по-русский не оооочень хорошо - и не плохо ;) Я уже потеряла ~13 кг с сентября но еще надо похудеть. Мне надо быть не больше на 50 кг. Ну я продолжаю работать, а скоро я буду правильный…

Oh, I second this, too. Actually, reading what some of the posters after me wrote, I agree with their suggestions more than what I initially suggested. Maybe if you want to not start NOW because it's too overwhelming (or whatever the reason), take a week or so to just track your intake. But what I suggest is not to start…

^Seconded. Just imagine how much LESS you'll have to do by Jan 1 to reach your goal if you start now!! Seriously, if you wait until then, come Jan 1, you'll be wishing you started today. If it's a lifestyle change...and you are obviously living your life right now (I mean, your life isn't pausing until Jan 1st, is…

"Smiling? Well why didn't you say so! I've been doing it all wrong this whole time! Bring on the food! I'll smile it off!" Actually, that's almost exactly true!! I have found that the best way to lose weight is happiness, satisfaction, feeling good. Smiling! It's really a brilliant feeling to realize that when you first…

Hi! I'm 5'2"-5'3" and currently 55.5 kg (122 lbs) with a first goal weight of 50 kg (110 lbs). I started at 68 kg (150 lbs). I would love more friends on here, everyone can add me!!

You can cook almost anything in the microwave. Oatmeal Eggs Make salad (no cooking required...) Other things that don't need to be cooked, obviously (cheese, yogurt, deli meat, etc.) Cook veggies Popcorn lol You can still cook meat in the microwave - esp. chicken and fish Sweet potatoes Spaghetti squash I seriously think…
