Very helpful, thank you!

Thanks everyone! I've been having flares for the past 10 years, and I'm experiencing the worst one to date. I literally just got the call a week ago with my diagnosis, so I have yet to see a rheumatologist. In trying to figure out what was wrong with me, I had a CAT scan done. Right now my kidneys, gallbladder and…

That's amazing! Keep up the good work! It's hard but you can do it :)

When I was really little a doctor. Then I took a drafting course my freshman year of high school and had my heart set on becoming an architect. Even got accepted to my dream school. Enter jealous bf who poked holes in condoms until he got me pregnant (admitted a couple years after I left him). The school was too far from…

It's rude no matter who it comes from. It's bullying regardless. Some skinny people can't put weight on either. I have a friend (female) who is 5 foot 7 inches and she weighs anywhere from 95 to 105 lbs. She eats an insane amount of food and can't manage to get over 105. Her little sister is the same way, just slightly…

I completely understand! When I reached obese after being morbidly obese, I was thrilled! Keep up the good work, you are doing fantastic!

Go you! I'm glad that that little note made you realize that all your hard work is paying off! Having a good self-esteem is a part of being an overall healthy person as well!

Hi Kate. I had issues like that before, except I've never tried online dating. I would go on blind dates with a guy, or meet one on my own, things would seem ok...then NOTHING. I was 250 lbs. I was positive my weight had something to do with it. Then one day, I was talking with my brother's best friend and he asked me "so…

You can add me!

I agree! I have two kids, and I rarely keep junk in the house. They live. I keep little chocolates, like Hershey kisses, in my freezer, and when I crave chocolate, I get one out and let it melt in my mouth. It lasts longer that way, so you tend to eat less (at least I do).

Tomorrow is a new day! Everyone has their slip ups. This is not dieting...it is a LIFESTYLE change. When you look at it like that, it's really not as harsh as the word diet. We are allowed to have sweets (and other food vices) in moderation. I also keep sandwich bags in my fridge with pre-prepared veggies and fruits so I…

OMG....I think I peed a little!

An egg fried in Pam, one slice of wheat toast, and a clementine orange (145cal)....I'm boring.

I had the same issue. What I do for flavored water now is just use the juice from lemons, limes, oranges, or any other citric fruits. I like to have a little flavor in my water as well. I had also tried MIO before, and although I had never had stomach pain, just knowing that it's calorie free makes me think it has to be a…

I'm leaving it at this. I honestly didn't read all of what you just said, I'm on my phone and about to do my workout. I told you I recanted my statement, that what I had been told by my nutritionist works for me and best of luck to you. Why the long elicited response? I don't know. But once again, my apologies, and best of…

That sounds really tasty! I think I'll have to try it soon!

My apologies for the attack on your age, but you have insinuated plenty of times that I do not know what I'm doing. Those 70lbs must have just melted away on their own, huh? My frustrations got the better of me. I recanted what I had said and stated that it worked for me and may possibly work for people like me. If not…

No, just when I didn't eat breakfast I always felt way more hungry and would eat more food. That's how it worked for me. There are days where I'll have a protein smoothie for breakfast, most days I have an egg, a slice of toast, and a small piece of fruit. It's not much, but for me, it works. And I'm sure it's helpful to…

One other thing, do you really think by telling someone to skip breakfast, that it's going to help them? Had you given me that information, I would have just put weight on. So no, my information is not entirely wrong, just like your information is not entirely right. Agree to disagree.

Sorry if the way I worded it offended anyone who doesn't eat breakfast, but as I see, most people do. There is a guy in an above post that put Metamucil + protein powder. Does that sound like what one would term breakfast to you. Not really...hence why I said anything that is consumed at that time could be considered such.…

That's fine. It does effect me though, and I'm sorry I said anything. But this is a site for weight loss, and these are things I was told by my nutritionist. I also would consider breakfast anything consumed at that time. So if you were to have coffee. That is breakfast. But if you are going to belittle people, what are…

I have researched these things. I've also seen a nutritionist. I don't look up things from Dr. Oz or Womens Health or whatever you said. I actually gained weight when I wasn't eating breakfast. I also usually do my workout in the morning, so for me the energy is needed. I'm also pretty sure it wasn't even you who I…

I Had a previous account for a year and a half, and had lost 70lbs. I stopped logging, and hadn't gone anywhere, so I started again. I'm definitely not new to my journey. And I'm definitely not a New Years Resolution person!!

It's been said by doctors and nutritionists for years that skipping breakfast is NOT good for you. You need to eat 4-6 small meals a day. I eat 5 a day and manage to hit or stay below 1200 cals a day. I have days where I have to eat something else because you need at the least 1200 cals a day to lose weight in a healthy…

Just amazing! Keep up the good work!

Being a healthy and fit role model for my kids...and lets be honest...a shopping spree! I have hated shopping now for so long.

I started this last year. I lost about 45 lbs while on here (70 total) and the last 4 months I've been trying to do with out it, figuring I had been doing it long enough that I would be able to. Well, it started where I think I just started eating more because I wasn't tracking, and then I stopped exercising. In 4 months,…
