Not sure if I'm allowed to self-promote like this here, but I started a blog at the new year with healthy and low cal recipes called Cooking to Health. There is more information in my profile, since I don't want to spam it all over here. I have vegetarian and omnivorous recipes that all fall under 300 calories/serving so…

Thank you for this explanation and advice!! I noted that as I got fatter, long before birth control, my PMS would get worse the more I weighed. I never knew about protein though. I usually wake up to a green smoothie, which nets me lots of carbs from fruit, and small amounts of protein from the greens. I will try to start…

Another girl here had the knee surgery. I had an appendectomy on Christmas (abdominal surgery).

THANK YOU for making this point. Most days I find it hard to hit the 1420 because I eat a lot of raw and whole foods and green smoothies. I'm just looking for tips/advice what to do specifically when the birth control hormones are raging. I know I'm doing well most of the time. I'm 5'11" and started at 269, I am 208 now.…

I'm not sure about yoga yet, although I've done it in the past. It was an appendectomy so they cut up my abdominal muscles. Can't do any ab/core stuff until that's all fixed up. I try to have a healthy relationship with food and my house is stocked with junk food (all my bf will eat). I'm good at avoiding it normally, but…

I haven't been on depo for very long (this was my second shot) so I'm guessing my body is still adjusting. I thought PMS and hormones was a load of crap too, and I don't want to make this an excuse, but it is real. I started crying because I was fighting with my boyfriend, then I was crying because I was crying, then I was…

I struggled with bulimia all through high school and most of college, so I know where you're coming from!! The best thing I do is I eat 5-7 times a day, any time I get hungry. I just keep it ~200 calories each mini-meal, and MFP is great for calculating and tracking that. I'm never feel like I've overeaten so I don't get…

I made a new (male) friend in college. We bonded over his ex/my roommate at the time who was more than a little nuts. He bought a new camera and one of the first pics he took was of me. When he posted it to his Facebook, one of his back home friends commented "Who's the fat *****?" and I saw it before he could remove the…
