I'm a second year medical student hoping to be an Ob-Gyn. Science is pretty much my entire life!

I'm 5'3'' and currently 118, I'd love to join up and lose 5 pounds

Buy individual coffee creamers, they make portion control easy. I use 2 Caramel Creamers a days and it's only 60 calories.

Deciding what to splurge on is my mode of coping with thanksgiving. I'm not willing to give up a piece of my mom's famous pecan pie but I know I will enjoy the meal just fine without gravy. I am planning on filling more of my plate with turkey than I normally do, it is lower calorie than all the side dishes! I am not going…

I have a test coming up and my best friend and her boyfriend just broke up. I'm sitting on the couch half counseling her, half reading pharmacology; next thing you know half of the cheetos bag in my lap is gone! They were, in my defense, natural cheetos but I'm still kind of in shock. I joined MFP two days ago and I…

Girl I can totally relate! I have a lot of friends like that too. Eating with them during undergrad earned me 8 extra pounds. From what I've seen it comes down to your "eating personality". Personally, I like to eat three meals (and usually a snack) everyday. If I go completely overboard at one meal I'm still going to eat…

So sorry to hear ... it is tough! I'll be praying for you

I'm a medical student and recently had a lecture on healthy weight. I'm not an expert but I can do my best. Have you ever heard of body mass index (BMI)? Each person can calculate their BMI using both their height and their weight. The number you get tells you if you are at a healthy weight for your height. Healthy weight…

5'3'', 1450 calories a day is my goal

I am 121 pounds and 5'3''. I like to have my calories set at 1450. I like this for a few reasons #1 - It is super realistic #2 - It feels great to come in under the calorie goal #3 - When you eat such a reasonable amount of calories the weight loss may be slow but it's going to be permanent My philosophy is that diets…

What a great idea for a group! I just knew it was meant for me based on the name. One of my favorite verses is "she is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come" Proverbs 31:25 We have to let go of the weight of the past in order to laugh at the future. God blesses our efforts to take care of the…

Very cool! I'm in the same boat - a medical student working on my MD. It is hard to diet with so much to learn. Nothing is more comforting than studying with a double-mocha-fattening-something to sip on but it's time to get healthy
