I can't lose weight easily, my doctor has been monitoring me for over two years and realized it's hormone related. I've had bad experiences with various pills to correct this after trying various diet plans and exercise plans (i lose few but re-gain more while still on the plans). He recommended Hydroxycut so i'll try next…

I have the realest PMS so yes, not the exact day but I know it's coming. I also prefer a cold shower closer to that time, I can always tell it's coming when I prefer the water colder

It's bloat and i'm guessing it happens because your stomach needs to break down some form of nutrients to provide your body with energy during that run. Because you havent ate it breaks down the stomach lining resulting in gas build up. People will commonly say bloating is a result of water retention but bloating can also…

Are you working your back and obliques enough? I can't think of specific examples right now but I'm sure you'll find some and they will help, also consider adding light dumbells to these. Also you may need to do more cardio before you see your love handles go away. I had that issue with my lower stomach and had to research…

I don't know about protein shakes but coffee , oatmeal blends or green tea are great options!

I have PCOS but i've never heard to restrict carbs . I'm going to try to find the link but i read to eat more complex carbs while reducing simple carbs, increase protein and increase water. IF your body isn't getting enough carbs then it may go into ketosis of course. For healthy people who don't have diabetes and aren't…

I think you may need to go even lower. I used to be able to squat 70lbs (10x5) but then one day I started having a pain in my left leg whenever I did anything that required too much bending, too much lateral movements and so on. After a few weeks of low intensity while healing I decided it was time to resume. I had the…

I actually prefer measurements such as 1 cup, 1/4 cup and so on for certain things. An example is the other day I was looking on a burger patty and the person used grams, however the package I had said calories for 1 patty which is 1 serving. When this person used grams, I had to go out of my way to retrieve the package,…

Oh the fasting part was where I had to eat under 900 calories every other day, some days it was as low as 400 calories

People always say it doesn't matter when you eat but it does. Your body has limits and needs. I always wonder if i'm the only one that can eat heavier than normal meal but still be hungry by a certain time. It's because the body does not have a constant metabolic rate. Your processes may occur faster in the morning than in…

I've made many posts about my bloating. Once I bloated so much I so a 5.8lb increase in my weight and it was after one week of standing abs,switching to one hot cup of green tea every morning and eating less rice and flour based products it finally reduced. I was bloated atleast 3 days a week and it's obvious because of…

Mine helps , I use it while exercising and it really helps me sweat. More than I saw without it at least but I've heard of wrapping plastic around your waist or jogging in a sweater for that effect. Haven't worn it in a while though because it restricted some of my lateral movements. It definitely helped me to be more…

I normally have a caramel cappuccino or non fat cappuccino or non fat latte. All under 200 I think

Oh...I wouldn't do it but I have a friend that swallows two tablespoons of sugar before her workouts or drink a sugar-water solution and she's had great weight loss

I actually alternate between green tea and coffee. If you try this then drink atleast 30 minutes before the workout. Black coffee is most effective but i love my milk and sugar....and sometimes ice. Also if you're worried about coffee addiction then green tea is an excellent option and Lipton has a great variety of…

I actually started this when I first saw your post and i'm loving the variety

Funny enough I know what you feel. Sometimes I dont feel hungry but keep in mind that certain hormones levels, such as those that are released during exercise or during some women's menstrual cycle may overpower those released during hunger. The body needs the energy source even if you don't exactly feel it. So eat. I eat…

Thank you so far!

I sew

I find that MFP is inaccurate for me. It told me to lose 1lb I'd need to eat around 1330 calories per day, however after doing research on multiple sites I was recommended to an average of 1256 day. If i wanted to lose two pounds a week I'd have to eat around 756 calories daily (no exercise) and MFP doesn't allow a person…

All I can say is I agree. If it is all CICO then you should be able to outrun a bad diet in order to lose weight. However, that does not mean you'll be healthy!

Same! Basically calling this day one because today i realized i'm not what i want to be

What do you mean you can't really stop yourself? Even if it is to have the salad with little dressing then go ahead. Be healthier! Bring lunch if that's an option. Do not drink soda, opt for water or even iced tea. If someone makes your lunch order, ask for little mayo. Give up fries, I recently found out a burger by…

I want to disable it or it could atleast tell me based on my last week of logging rather than day Once i tried to eat not the exact thing but I tried to rotate within a reasonable amount. So if i was to eat 1350 calories everyday I tried never to go over 1500 or below 1200. My daily amount varied but my weekly amounts were…

I am not demanding that MFP gives me an accurate number because I acknowledge calorie counting is not accurate and there is variety. It is more my concern that other people may be using this not realizing they may be under-eating because these are over estimating calories. MFP database for many foods are based on recipes…

Babbbbbbbbby!

If you are drinking it cold then add a small amount warm water first, add the regular amount of powder, mix or use a blender then build up with cold water. If you are drinking warm, try the opposite: cold first, powder, blender/wireball/spoon then build with hot water

I can't tell you a specific amount but I've seen many articles stating children in their teenage years, especially women, need between 2100-2500 calories a day for their body to carry out metabolic processes and ....puberty. I would say carry her to a nutritionist rather than a pediatrician. Keep in mind she's 13 so…

Right! I hate posts like this. I remember typing in curried chicken and got 1 portion =334 calories. What is a portion? 1 cup/0.5cup. Who says our portion was the same? Even with packaged goods such as snacks I strongly dislike seeing "one bag". I feel MFP needs to allow us to at least see the details of the recipe so…

DIDNT READ THE ARTICLE . but There are no bad foods. Let's get that out the way. Fatty foods are necessary for good healthy in the right amount and proportion. Foods that are high in fats tend to be low volume, yes. Fatty foods provide you with the most calorie per gram, followed by protein, carbs and alcohol. Most people…
