not related to thread, but you just described my work experience as a pharmacy lab tech. All this time, I just assumed I was just blowing the whole situation out of proportion and kept it to myself.

sounds good! thanks for the tip!

There are mainly two ways to lose 25 pounds in a month: 1. Cut off a limb. Pro : quick, cheap, no struggle. You suffer for a few days, then enjoy the rest of the month. Con : you'll look quite asymmetrical. For life. 2. Reach a daily calorie deficit of 3500 calories (3500 calories = 1 lb). The five last days of the month…

Sorry to sound super ignorant, but you guys in Texas have a WINTER?!? I'm from Canada, I always assumed that south from New York state, there wasn't such a thing anymore. Good for you. Winter's awesome.

What about young girls shriveling away because of thinspo? hypergymnasia is a real issue too. There are people who are going to take those images at heart and follow them as a life philosophy, just like there are people who feel validated by thinspo images.

1. I do not care that I'm not friends with the cool MFP clique. 2. No, that calorie deficit ain't big. I use my TDEE-20%. 3. I do not need MASSIVE doses of love and attention from people I'll probably never meet IRL.

Hey! Welcome to MFP and props for taking care of you! Feel free to add me! :drinker:

I believe it's legitimate. It's closely related to orthorexia, the obsession with healthy eating. Most people won't acknowledge it because we're brought up to believe that eating healthily and doing a lot of activity is a good thing. Now, don't get me wrong, I know it is a good thing. But we're not taught where's the…

I can relate. I use whey powder (the brand doesn't matter. whichever is on sale or the cheapest). I always keep two containers of different flavors, but my favorite is chocolate. I put it in my morning oatmeal or in my yogurt or in a smoothie whenever I notice I won't hit my daily protein requirement. I tried soy protein…

*feed* what? I'm procrastinating on studying. don't judge me.

^^This. :drinker:

You should seek some professional, medical advice. Eight months in a row. You should have done that a long time ago.

Should....should I quit trying and working so hard on myself? Should they put MFP down? What does it mean? *rolls back and forth in a fetal position* *sucks her thumb*

you want weird messages? anything weird? the whole Internet is open to you. dive in.

I don't see anything wrong with that. Children don't foresee long-term results/consequences as we are brought up to do as we age/mature. Giving her an immediate reward might put her and make her stay on track until she's old/wise enough to understand the reasons exercise are good for her, besides the extra allowance.

You've done all you could do about this. You can't hold yourself responsible for what other people - even though they are family - are doing to themselves. You can lose a lot of energy on this, energy you could use on yourself or on people willing to listen to legitimate, sensible advices.

that's when I realized I ripped every single one of my jeans because of the friction caused by my thighs rubbing.... even my big girl jeans were ruined....

Top Non-Animal Protein Sources : Tempeh : 1 cup = 41g Seitan : 3 oz = 31g Soybeans : 1 cup = 21g Lentils : 1 cup = 18g Black beans : 1 cup = 15g Kidney beans : 1 cup = 13g Veggie Burger : 1 patty = 13g Chickpeas : 1 cup = 12g Baked beans : 1 cup = 12g Firm tofu : 4 oz = 11g Quinoa : 1 cup = 9g Peanut butter : 2 tbsp = 8g

seek for professional help, op. please.

my MFP friends. I snoop around so much in their diairies, and comment a lot about it to them. I'd be an hypocrite if I were to indulge everytime I feel like indulging (which would be every 2hours, there's a coffee shop in the building I work in). and the graphs (from MFP and Jawbone UP) too. I'm a graph enthusiast. I like…

^^This means you should ingest AT THE VERY LEAST that 1500 cals daily. That's the amount needed to sustain all of your bodily functions. And it'd be enough only if you were in a coma or something. And I see that you're very close to your goal. You should ease up and try to have a slow weight loss rate (like 0.25kg/week).

I forgot to mention that my diary is always on Public mode, so if anyone has a comment about my eating habits, go ahead!

Well, I don't know your stats, so I wouldn't comment on that. But, about me: I'm a 5'8" female. I weigh 169lbs and recently started to run again and I walk to and from work most of times. I try to eat 1750 cal, but I really love to eat so it's hard for me to stay under 1800 cals. But since that's how I got fat in the first…

it didn't help me in giving me meals ideas. it just gave me new macros ratio.

Thanks for the advice!

after researching and reading/watching a lot of reviews comparing the UP and the Flex, I chose to buy a UP. actually, I don't remember much of what made me buy it over the Flex, but I love it! both products are very similar : some reviews give an higher grade to UP, some to Flex. Personnally, what I love about UP is : -…

Garfield? Is that you?

bump sorry, I can't offer any answer or advice...I'd just like to know what people might tell you, I'm an always-hungry kind of girl

I downloaded the app on my phone in November 2012 (didn't know there was also a website and a whole community....I just wanted a calorie tracker), dropped a few pounds, then I had to move back home for the Holidays, lost track, had a new semester to start and crazy contests to take part in. Next thing I know, I packed up…
