Hmm, 25? I'm not too good at this! That was for Chmill24.

Some old Jazz that no one has probably ever heard of!

I can see why people don't like water. Frankly, I don't understand why everyone else doesn't understand! Its flavorless! Ugh! I can only drink it plain with meals and while exercising. Otherwise, I have to add something to it :D The only thing I'd day to the OP is, if your dehydrated, drink more water (not soda) but water!…

Here is what I've been seeing on the forums: Original Poster: Hi! I'm eating 500 calories a day, is this ok? Concerned Poster #1: No. Its not. Concerned Poster #2: You need to eat more than that, that is dangerous! Original Poster: You meanies! My feelings are hurt!!! Mostly everyone here is just trying to help. Its easy…

Mine is very accurate. It always says 10 lbs lighter in 5 weeks, and I've been losing 2 lbs per week on a regular basis, for now.

I do this, but sometimes I don't like how it makes me feel during the day, even after eating lots of low cal protein and healthy vegetables totaling around 100-200 calories for lunch, I still feel super hungry between 2 and 4pm. But then again, I'm doing 1200 so its pretty low already. I'm going to up the whole calorie…

Not a man, but wanted to comment! I'm assuming your online dating to do more than date casually, if not then nevermind. But being a size 14 or whatever is actually a really good way to weed out the bad ones, the ones that are only interested in your appearance and nothing else. This is because not all guys are the same, as…

Personally, I know I struggle with eating more fruits just because I find that I'm not liking them as much as I used to. I'm also struggling with sugar intake, I find myself really wanting to eat sugar this week. I made some low calorie brownies and I've been eating them for my desert instead, so that has been a good way…

What a silly idea! I made rice krispie treats and have been eating them all last week for dessert. Sometimes I had so many calories left over I'd eat 2! So yeah, lots of sugar, I still lost my weekly 2 lbs. Its just me, but I don't think all that matters, just the calorie deficit. Plus, bananas are good for you anyway. Its…

I was just thinking this today, how ironic is it to see this topic!! I just hit the 25 lbs mark, and today I find myself bored with my routine. Bored with the same food. I need to mix it up! Bored with adding the calories in especially. I then realized, if I change up my food, I'll have to find all the food in the MFP…

It was actually a figure of speech. However, I do have a friend that is 100+ overweight. My words to her were exactly this: "Do you want to lose weight? Do you want to be healthy?" She said, "Yes" Then I said, "Then you should count calories with me, its working rather well!" Then I talked to her about all the advantages…

Not all the fat people! If you look at the statistics from the CDC, its increased by a large %. Anyway, no one should ever have to feel worthless just because of their appearance. When I was at that large weight, I was still a contributing member of society. I still had people I care about and they care about me. Nothing…

I know 4 people (all in the same family) that did this diet. They lost lots of weight quickly and have actually kept it off even though I didn't think they would...I'm not saying its healthy or wise! I thought about doing it, but decided against it because it doesn't seem healthy eating like that for 20 days.

For the record, I think this is the wrong place to post this. But I think you could try this...I'm not sure if it will work. Click on My Home>Check In>Edit Previous Entries There's a place for your starting weight there. Try setting it back to what you were originally.

GREAT attitude, welcome to the forums!! Feel free to add me :)

I'm going to be the first to say that I agree with a lot of what she is saying. If fat acceptance wasn't a thing, we would have less obese people in America. I state this as a fact because many years ago, accepting "fat" people wasn't as important as it is now. And in this day and age, obesity is one of our nation's…

I'm 5'8" and 181 lbs! I started at over 200 though. :D Add me if you want!

Are you weighing yourself accurately? Meaning, the same time every Wed morning before breakfast and after going to the bathroom? That makes a difference. Also, I wouldn't be too concerned about .03 lbs of gain, your weight does fluctuate that much throughout the day.

I used to drink socially but now that I'm trying to lose weight and be healthy, I've cut out all unnecessary liquid calories, including alcohol. Once I get into the maintenance part of this, I might start indulging every now and then. Like once a month...

Yes, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't go see a doctor. It's pretty unsafe if you have over 200 lbs to lose, NOT to get professional advisement. You shouldn't start any kind of weight loss routine without consulting a doctor. Your health is much more important than money in the long run! In my house we can't afford to…

Just made these today with real sugar instead of Stevia. I've been eating too much fake sugar lately with all those 0 calorie sodas. The calorie count went up to 92 with real sugar. (Everything else I kept the same). They were pretty good for what is in them! They aren't perfect brownies, really gooey and a little bitter.…

Didn't read too much of the rest of this topic, but if you just started two or three weeks ago (and especially if your over 200 lbs) you shouldn't be running yet. The first rule of exercise is if it hurts, DON'T continue to do it. You need to do what your body can handle, and its hurting because your doing too much too…

I hear ya!! That is the reason why I gave up the second time. I quit counting cause it was the holidays, and I knew I had gained like 5 lbs. So I gave up, then I gained an extra 10!! Its ok to gain a few lbs, like the others said as long as you start again. You can ALWAYS lose the weight again. Don't give up on what great…

I personally don't think the time of day matters when trying to lose weight. I lost 30 lbs when I had to work the night shift so my meals were all over the place. So eating when I was hungry like stated before, is the best way to go, it worked for me!

Anyone with similar goals feel free to add me! I'm 28, about to be 29 in a month, female living in the bible belt of the US. I started at 206 a while back, but didn't track until now a couple months ago, now I'm 183! I'd like to be between 130 -145 lbs. I started gaining weight at 21 (at 145 lbs) for bad eating, then…

^Exactly! I save 250 calories for after dinner for snacks/desert! The rest of my meals during the day are between 200 and 300 calories each to I always have plenty left over. Although, dinner is usually more...

I'm only looking at calories now for weight loss. After the weight loss, I'm going to be paying more attention to the rest. Although, I'm eating a lot of good natural foods like fruits and vegs, lean meats, some bread and cheese. So I'm not going over the allowed totals anyway. Every now and then I go over on cholesterol…

Hey, I'm 183 right now and 5'8" as well! Even though I started at over 200, we have about the same weight to lose, add me!

HEY EVERYONE!! Before making this recipe, you HAVE to read the blog post. Everything you do in baking matters. You can't just substitute things and expect them to be perfect. The blogger that posted this recipe says you can NOT using anything but something that pours like real sugar. If you add real sugar, the calorie…

You can't make substitutions and expect it to be good. The original recipe on the website clearly states not to use Splenda. You have to use sugar or something that pours like it (like Stevia). The recipe says: (or any natural/stevia based sweetener that pours like sugar)
