Amen! People gripe about it, but it's being efficient with the meat we eat. But then, I hate waste, so I think this is a good thing. And there are all kinds of things in the food you eat, even the "healthy, unprocessed" foods. We aren't made of glass. Our bodies were designed to safely digest all kinds of things, even bugs…

You say this like it's a bad thing. LOL! I usually feel great when I exercise. It has helped me with stress, anxiety, and anger. I hope you're eating enough, because over-taxing the body will make anyone angry. Also, are you overly-heated while exercising? That can cause irritation. Otherwise, apart from the low blood…

Walking Dead Ghosthunters South Park Scrubs Family Guy And there's always a guilty pleasure show that I get addicted to now and then. Right now it's Storage Wars.

What Jacwhite22 said. Poor sodium. It gets such a bad rap, and yet it's a very important electrolyte that the body needs to survive, NOT a poison that needs to be eliminated. Cutting sodium will not magically make you lose weight. Drinking tons of water will also not make you lose weight. Just focus on calories. I have no…

It depends on the equipment. At the gym I go to, some of the equipment is really dangerous. Used incorrectly, and it could result in serious injury or loss of limb. However, we take the Keep Kids Safe thing a little too far. Kids are going to get hurt. They may drop a 3 lb weight on their toes.They may get their hands…

You may have low potassium levels, which is common in people who are dieting. And, yes, your low calorie diet may be contributing to the problem. Also, drinking a lot of water would just make that problem worse, so be careful taking some of the "drink more water" advice here. Try loading up on potassium, at least getting…

Hahah! You're funny and attractive. :) mebelt004, I think you're very pretty. And I'm not just saying that to make you feel good. I think you may have been around some really stupid, partially blind (no offense to blind people) people in your life. Honestly, sometimes others will assume you know you're pretty, so they…

Please avoid the HCG starvation diet. I can't imagine how that would help you boost your metabolism. The last time I did a cleansing/starvation diet, I gained every pound back I lost plus 10 lbs on top of that. And I did NOT pig out after I was finished. JasmineRose, do you exercise? Do you do strength-training? Are you on…

I'm not sure I want to regenerate limbs. That could get out of hand. If Good For You food tasted like Bad For You food.

Agreed. To OP, take your time right now, eat a little more, and allow your metabolism to recover a bit. You'll start losing again, but you may have to be patient. The last time I went on an extreme "cleansing" diet, I gained 10 lbs after I stopped. I will never do that again.

:drinker:

Doesn't your head weigh 10 lbs?

This hasn't yet worked for me. I stopped looking for five years, and nada. But when you live in a small town like me, where people get married straight out of high school or not at all, if you don't look, you won't find anything. If only single men were dropped out of planes with parachutes. It would make things easier. My…

I think getting someone to go with you at first might help with the anxiety. I understand how you feel. It's what I deal with when I go to the gym, and the weight section is in use. Or buying a set of weights may also be an alternative.

OP, I know what you're going through. I've been dieting for a very, very long time. What worked for 10 months stopped working out of the blue. I started gaining weight instead of losing with no changes to my diet or exercise routine. So I started changing everything (because maybe THAT was the problem?) eating less, eating…

Shawshank Redemption Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back (tough one there, though)

A HUGE difference! You look fantastic!

I've experienced this phenomenon exactly once in the last two decades of my life. I was hungry after I'd finished eating, and I didn't know why. Then I started drinking water, and it actually helped. (I'd been awake for 24 hours, and my body was dehydrated.) However, most of the time it doesn't work, and I'm afraid it may…

I notice this, too. I am usually at my lowest weight a couple days after TOM. I'm at my highest a couple days before and during.

Not a Lori fan here, either. I watched this every Sunday while chatting long-distance with my Walking Dead friends. Every episode featuring some of Lori's many faces of anguish were annoying. She needs a sammich and some volumizer for her hair. Glenn and Dale are the best characters, along with T-Dog and Daryl. I'd like to…

I don't recall a time of not being fat. I think the last time I was thin was when I was 5 years old. I'm not silly enough to blame circumstances only and not myself, but my mother had a tendency to feed her children adult sized portions, then force us to clean our plates. It suppressed our natural ability to sense when we…

I agree! I see so many people going too fast near the beginning, then running out of steam and either quitting or falling behind. My best time was 38.40. I was really proud of my progress, since I had run it in 52 minutes the year before.

:flowerforyou:

How do you get a strike? And what happens when you do?

This makes me curious, but I'm backing away slowly.

:flowerforyou:

I don't have the capacity to care about the size of my thighs and how big/small they are compared to other women.

My best advice is to avoid high sodium foods, but don't drowned yourself by drinking a ton of water, either. Eat light today but healthy. Try to avoid high sugar foods as well. Drinking coffee can cause the body to lose water, so try that. But make sure you have had plenty of potassium. Low potassium can cause water…
