Hi I had VGS on 5/30 so I'm working on post-op week 2! Friend me and I'll open my diary. It's a little crazy now bc nothing taste right but you know...

Thanks guys thats all I needed! I just finished Don't Go and the reader was boring. It was hard to get into while running and I'm burnt out on music.

My concern is that society can work diligently to create programs try to recover people with all types of disorders that effect their health and the health of families and communities but that over-eating disorders are defendable and have this attitude of being something that you just mind your own business about because…

Get a bodymedia or something to help you monitor your habits and burns. It is helping me tremendously. I do EM2LW but the calculators were just a couple of hundred cals too high and the deficit/fat loss was so painfully slow that it was hard to notice and I would get discouraged. I got a body media and track where I'm at…

I was discouraged because I gained and lost the same 10 pounds over and over but I found the best tool ever...my awesome bodymedia link and now I am rocking this shiz because I have some legitamate individualized daily numbers to work with!

Your not eating enough...IMO

It is an analogy as is promoting "jumping off a bridge". It's not right for the MAJORITY of people and ignorant is not name calling in my book of definitions. It is a lack of knowledge on a specific topic that can lead people to pursue a dangerous path. Chronic restricting is a controlling/coping mechanism that is one of…

"my RMR was 907, TDEE is 1179 with a desk job. I am glad I paid to get this info as I was struggling and gaining while trying to eat more" Yay for you getting the information you need to make individualized and appropriate decisions for your health!!!

In hindsight..."I wish I would have known" Right? Ignorance is not bliss.

Suicide isn't for everyone either and educated people wouldn't encourage its use to the masses. Educating people on health, who don't know any better, is the right thing to do even if the ignorant defenders of wrong disagree.

Anorexics are skinny because they create an extreme calorie deficit but when they have little fat or muscle to pull energy from, it comes from necrosis of other tissues until death. That's why chronic anorexics can end up with no teeth, no hair, poo bags from shut down digestive systems, feeding tubes, heart arrhythmia,…

BMR, plus some if the patient is really sick or malnourished, is the calories our hospital dietitians feed you when we have you knocked out on a vent and turning you every two hours unless you are really obese then your propofol sedation may be all the calories you need to make you lose a little while your under our…

People justify doing all kinds of silly things to hurt their bodies without doing their own research. I see it every day in the ICU. And side note, your general doctor probably doesn't know squat about nutrition. Ask him where he got the information he is advising, it's probably not from the peer reviewed research he has…

I did vegetarian for several months during the summer because I like the seasonal foods and I don't digest meat well. I found the biggest help was using emeals online to transition because I didn't know how to increase my variety and the fresh produce I was buying was going bad quickly. The service gives you 2 weekly menu…

BUMP BUMP BUMP!!!

Bump!

bump!

I just went to fleet feet on yale across from lafortune park and the fitted me for over pronation. I tried on three pair and I picked the ones that felt like a dream. It was definately worth it!

Army wife...DH currently somewhere in the sandbox lol

RN-Cardiac ICU!

I'm a nurse and we get WL surgical patient that have problems such as malnourishment/dehydration (from not eating properly), sepsis (lowered immune system), skin rashes (loose skin), bowel problems (altered diet and digestion process), heart problems/failure/cardiac arrest (from jacked up electrolytes), and just about any…

Yeah I did some research. I thought it would be more convenient but in reality it is about the same effort I am making now and the sodium in nutrisystem is very high. The problem is not losing weight. I know how to lose and maintain. The problem is healthy and convenient. My husband is the cook and he is deployed and I…

I started around Christmas! Thanks for the comments girls and good luck!

Thanks everyone! Now if I can just lose some of my bottom half I'll be good...lol.

Haha...this is exactly why I keep my log private and it's sad because someone out there might just be able to learn something from me.

I simply meant that I do not want to make them larger before the fat comes off first and I don't mean man bulky but yes girls with very muscular legs have to make the effort to focus on lean muscle...I know I used to do it in high school when I was very competative in sports and in the army before I had a baby. My leg…

Shake it up as in eat different things or different calories?

Girl if I could I would have been there to help ya chunck it over! Me and my ex husband were together since we were 13 and 7 years later right after I had our son I walked in on him cheating with one of our towns wonderful bartenders...needless to say he didn't want to end the relationship and he is now married to her. I…
