I know this feeling! Especially when you're bloated.

Get your jam on in your room dancing in your underwear. Nothing makes my day better than just letting loose to good music and dancing in my underwear. Plus side it makes you more comfortable with your own body.

Sounds like a really happy me loading up on one of my favorite foods - buffalo wings. But we don't have TGIF anywhere near a reasonable distance from my tiny town.

The first time I had it, it weirded me out terribly. I was staying at my grandmother's in Redding and that's how she made grilled cheese sandwiches. I was forever changed by that sandwich. It was the best grilled cheese I have ever had hands down.

Oh man I'm dying. The more I watch it the better it gets. Apparently you can put pizza on an iron to heat it up - college dorm style.

Well, I'm just going to go with what I think based on the same concept being for an American grilled cheese sandwich. (Sorry I love those so much! It's really comforting.) My grilled cheese sandwiches, which I make with mayonnaise instead of butter because it grills better, runs about 360-420 calories a sandwich depending…

I have a question. What is that in your profile pic? A painting or something? It's really cool and I was just curious. Sorry for hijack!

Because she made it same as if QUANTITY didn't matter at all when it does. You can't eat excess amounts of anything. That's what I understood from some of her previous posts - that you can eat as much healthy stuff as you want. That just isn't true. And that's what I read. Sorry if I'm wrong but that is what it looked like…

I'm still waiting on how you can eat whatever you want in whatever quantity and not gain weight.

Lucky me isn't tapped out yet because I'm at home with nothing to do!

Is today a slow Monday for everyone? It seems like a slow Monday.

At least you can find them. Sometimes I wonder if it's just vapid space. I don't know how she can keep going on like this. So much information overload she should just bow down.

Pssst...She's just terrible with the quote function. She has comments hidden in all of them.

I'm on a pudding, jello, and applesauce diet and I've lost weight. Prescribed by a surgeon thank you very much. Not everyone can eat those types of diets after surgery, especially throat surgery.

I'm with this guy. I believe in CICO by the way, just throwing that out there. Yes not all calories are created equal because some are better at satiety than others, but that's eat. You can't eat 5000 calories worth or veggies and lean meats and NOT gain weight unless you are like..MMA guy Mt Kilimanjaro + a few hundred…

Great progress! Congrats!

I bet that elk steak was amazing. How do you have elk fried nuggets, if you don't mind me asking? Never knew you could do such a thing. Do you grind the meat and bread it or is there some other process?

I prefer elk burgers. Nothing I have ever eaten has tasted better than an elk burger to me. It is the most delicious thing I have ever tried burger wise. Yes a ground beef burger still does the trick, but I'd jump at a chance for elk again.

Seeing old pictures of me causes me to remember to struggles I had with coming to terms with my mental health problems and the effects the medication had on my body, and how far I've come in learning to make what I have work for me. Old pictures of when I was skinny are just a much of a reminder of unhealthy habits as are…

Try upping you calories for a few weeks like others have suggested. Or, figure out your maintenance calories and stick with that for a few weeks then lower your calories once more to a deficit for losing weight. If you have only a few more pounds to lose, set your weight loss to .5lbs a week. That way you can have a few…

You should log it. They are minimal calories but sometimes that makes the difference in going over or not. Even when I'm not sure of a calorie count on something, I still log it with something I am pretty sure is close to it in the database. Why wouldn't you eat the stuff you put in your water? I think they're still yummy…

My mom has thyroid problems and has her entire life. It's hard as a kid being overweight and I can understand your concern with wanting to help him get it under control now instead of later because as an adult it is just that much harder to control your weight with hypothyroidism. Maybe try taking a family walk every night…

When you lose weight you may not notice any real "changes" for 25 pounds.You may feel better but sometimes clothing size doesn't change, weight may go down, measurements won't change but a little, then boom one day everything changes. Nothing happens rapidly. Weight gain causes far more changes quickly than does losing…

Hey sweetie! Don't look down on yourself, when you look down on yourself, especially physically, you are so much more likely to do damage to yourself to try and fix what you don't like. One thing being eating too little for the activity you are doing. Running takes a lot of energy to do, especially if you are trying to do…

I'm on birth control (Nuva Ring) and medications that have weight gain side effects. I've had no problems with losing weight while on birth control or on my other medications. Sure it takes longer but I've had not problems with it. You just have to find what works for you.

EAS Lean 15 Vanilla Protein Powder is really filling when made with milk, low calorie, and you can add it to coffee if you'd like. Super yummy that way.

I know the feeling of coming to terms with your new size. I still haven't yet. My measurements have changed drastically from when I first started my weight loss journey. My starting measurements(three years ago) Bust: 38" Waist:32" Stomach:39" Hips:42" Thighs:26" SW: 176lbs Today's Measurements Bust:34" Underbust: 27"…

I thought I entered a mystical land when I returned to this thread. I just wanted to see if OP came back an instead I had a Shaman preaching the ways of protein and shtuff and it's just..mystical. He's very wordy and could probably do himself better if he wasn't so poetic. Maybe try hardcore facts and data. That's what we…

It's a good thing to get it checked regularly! I have an always slightly hyperactive thyroid but no one says it's a problem, but I still have my thyroid checked regularly because of thyroid history of problems in my family. My mother had thyroid cancer for years before someone finally did something about it because her…

Not sure if she's going to check back, but, I'm in with everyone who says there was no "slandering/bullying". Anyway, time for advice. Have you recalculated your calories since losing weight? The amount you need changes as you lose weight, so you could be overeating and not know it. Edit entries to fit your weighted food.…
