Bumping for more suggestions! Essentially right now I'm living on meats and rice and beans. :(

That your weight will fluctuate, and a five pound loss one day and a four pound gain the next is normal.

Congrats on your success! I'm doing IF between 4:30-7PM. If I worked out a lot that day, I might sneak in a hard boiled egg or two before bed, but otherwise that 2.5 window is for me.

You actually just put a lot of things into perspective for me. My lowest weight (since starting MFP last November) was 158 - and I gained a whole bunch back due to a lay off (no money for the gym, no motivation, etc). My abusive ex-bf is back in town and I want to drop the weight I gained (15 more to go till I'm back at…

Hi! I'm BldHny2002 (Blood & Honey) and I've lost almost 40 - I want to lose about 40 more... hopefully putting me in the qualifiers for this group @ 80 lbs.

Why? She did.

Everything is Easier: Getting drinks from men. I don't know why, I've never had a problem having men chat me up at a bar (when I was 200+ lbs) but they'd never buy me drinks. They'd express an interest and I would turn them down (as I had a boyfriend). Now, I'm down 50lbs and men are buying me drinks but not really…

Current You looks like Old You's younger brother.

-gives you some loving- I never knew our starting weight and current weights were so similar!

I've never had a sister, nor have I ever been a bridesmaid, but I'd tell your sister (if she were mine) to eat **** and die. Unless you and her are roughly the same size? Is she bigger than you? Then I would completely understand where she was coming from (she doesn't want to look bigger on her wedding day) but I'd tell…

I tend to be my lightest in early afternoon (12-4pm). I don't know why, other than I sometimes eat late at night, and that food hasn't "gone away" yet. I used to work a job with very busy mornings, so my "breakfast" wasn't until 3:30ish or five in the evening.

I was coming into the Success Stories to post my own - I also am officially Healthy - and I find it is INCREDIBLY awesome I'm not I the only one!! Super mega BIG congratulations! When I started, I dunno what my starting BMI was, but I'm assuming around 35... I was between 215-220lbs, 5'6", and hit Overweight in January.…

... I am so done with the forums. The general impression I am getting from responses is I'm an idiot, a troll, and expecting unrealistic things. Thanks for your "support". I am no longer discouraged in my goals. I realize that I will never look a certain way as this person is lying about everything that she probably…

^^ thank you :)

Again, I know the internet can be changed, but still... It's on Wikipedia.

Actually, she's a Playboy Bunny, and Playmate of the Year, so her weight is actually correct. So correct in fact, that it's on Wikipedia. I understand people lie, and I am not trying to say I necessarily want to weigh what she weighs. What I am saying is yes, I want to look like her(to a degree. Not a fan of her breast…

Oh, lol, I know that! But still. There's something to be said for a birthday cake, not birthday cupcakes. Also, not to be sarcastic, but "Eat a smaller slice" is not a helpful suggestion. I'm not an idiot. A smaller slice does not neccesitate low cal, just perhaps lower cal than the whole. Sigh. I have a few friends who…

I don't want to do cupcakes because my mom's a cake decorator.

Really? I get an eye roll, and a "Like what, no red meat? (Or any other food restrictive diet plan, such as Atkins with the no red meat, or GFree, or specialty diets/plans like Weight Watchers or green tea extract, etc)" and I reply no... I've lost fifty pounds while consuming a lot of nachos and beer for someone who's…

... I have nothing really major to contribute to this thread that hasn't already been said. I am concerned for you. I want you to do well, be healthy, and get better. I also want to speculate on a trend I've noticed. I lost 50lbs and developed a hernia when I wanted to start lifting, and the hernia has affected my running…

Please don't take this as discouragement! I think it's AWESOME that you're going to lose weight. Remember, you have a job that requires you to be typically strong with great lungs. DO NOT STARVE YOURSELF. Stick with it! Lift weights! I'm so happy for you! Now, that all being said, personally, I don't think any straight…

Your work is amazing! Wow! ... And that last picture is freaking hot. Holding your briefs like that... :D lmao

I've been on Depo for almost a year. I only have side effects a few days after each shot - REALLY tired(like have six espressos and still ready to sleep for 12hrs kind of tired), sore arm at injection site, and my body holds a bit of water weight. Usually two or three pounds, but I do gain. By the end of the week it's…

Well, it didn't go /bad/, but it wasn't /good/ either. I'll try again tomorrow!

I really should buy that book...

Maybe low blood sugar! I'm not doctor but I feel like that if my sugar falls (rarely - I'm not a diabetic, or pre diabetic, just always sensitive to my body's chemistry) and having a Greek yoghurt strawberry-granola bite or two before and after your run might help. Suuuuper yummy and sweet and healthy! High calories, so…

Hi. Your topic is just like me, or was just like me, a few weeks ago. I ate very little, and exercised a lot, and it was very effective. I wanted to up my calories as well, and started off by upping 100 cals a week(per day - if I was at 1200 before, next week I'm at 1300, the week after 1400, until I reached something that…

Yesterday morning I was 166.4, today I gained a lb of it back... um... I'm pretty sure NOT eating made me lose the weight in the first place, and now eating MORE is causing me to gain, so... I understand that eating more will cause me to gain weight initially. I get that. What this topic was about was asking for support…

... I thought I was doing that?

As far as weighing myself, last Wednesday I was 168. Today, I'm 167.8. I only weigh once a week, let's say. In an entire week of busting my *kitten* at the gym I only lose two ounces? It's not good enough for me. I'd rather see the fluctuations than no progress. Personally I think you guys are focusing on the wrong part of…
