I do the same as you do ajc1309... I lost weight without any issues following that plan. It's the way that works for me, so I do it.

I eat fried foods all the time. I just make sure that it fits within my allotted calories. I agree with most, its excess calories not the foods that make you gain weight. At least that's my experience.

Phentermine definitely works... If using again, it won't work as well the second time around. But, ariamythe is correct, it is for short term loss and you have to eat right and exercise to keep the pounds off. My second time taking it I lost about 30 pounds the first 30 days. It was prescribed to me for insulin resistance…

No, the egg is left raw as it binds the ingredients so it doesn't fall apart during cooking. I also add onion to mine. Another good thing to add is mustard. I have also added BBQ sauce before. Call me crazy but its delicious.

Exactly... However it's weighed raw or cooked, should be how it's logged.

Ahhhh so that's why I see boobies lol

I totally disagree with the poster who said you're going to gain the weight back when you discontinue use of them... Only if you eat more calories than you expend. I have continually lost weight since I quit them over a month ago. Just not as fast as when I took them of course, but still faster than most people. I agree…

I'd eat cat food before I ate Sperm.. And it's in the database. Scary huh?

I use to wonder the same thing, but then I started using half the milk... One cup of cereal and 1/2 Cup of milk. Just the right amount. No waste and less calories.

I've heard that about apple cider vinegar, but never tried it... Losing 3-4 lbs a week usually just counting calories.

This is my outlook on it also... I do not eat when I am not hungry. I don't worry about shortages calorie wise. Eating when I wasn't hungry is what made me fat to begin with.

I have taken it twice... This last time I lost 30 lbs. in 2 months time... Before that, I was insulin resistant and like you, I could not lose weight for anything. Turns out, it was a medication I was taking. Anyway, the phentermine boosted my metabolism like crazy. I went off of it about a week ago and still losing weight…

When I make things I weigh all ingredients and add them to MFP as a recipe. It does all the calculations for you and you don't have to worry about incorrect entries in the food database.

Oranges... I always throw the entire bag away so I stopped buying them.

THIS^^^ Lmfao

Not everyone has the same weight loss experience... I too had trouble losing weight and the doctor put me on Phentermine. Turns out, I was insulin resistant due to taking Seroquel for depression. Once I stopped the medication (the seroquel), I still gained weight although I weigh everything and do know that i was not…

I've had GAD my entire life as long as I can remember... And to me, dieting actually helps my anxiety. I think it's the "control" that makes me feel more comfortable. I have started taking Prozac which helps a LOT but noticed improvement even before I started that medication. But, to add to what everyone else said... When…

I make mine the old fashioned way with WW flour... Also love to add apples in the batter, bananas on top and blueberry sugar free syrup. And you can't forget bacon. Damn, now I want pancakes lol.

Request sent... I am daily active and need more active friends myself for support etc... ;)

Feel free to add me if you want.. Also looking for active MFP friends ;)

I love eating or I wouldnt be on this site LOL... Seriously though, I have more fun creating my favorite meals and making them meet my daily calorie goals. To me that's the fun part of it... If you need another friend please add me. I need active friends, the ones I have are not updating and haven't logged in. Time to…

Request sent... I need more active friends on MFP ;)

You can add me as well.. All of my friends have stopped updating and posting. Would love a few more active friends, so anyone feel free to add me.. Thanks!! ;)

Thank you Katiss... Much appreciated!!

I do that too, but I add mustard and hot sauce, so that doesn't apply as four ingredients lol

I ordered one myself, I figured it's free why not try it... But like others have said I thought it was too expensive for what you get. I did think it was great quality though and if I wasn't in such a financial mess, I would have continued getting them.

Okay, I have it set to 30% carbs, 40% protein and 30% fat... I hope that is okay lol

Thank you so much... Let me plug that information in and see what it says... I will reply with a update. Thanks a bunch!!

Technically, you are correct, the less calories, the more you lose. However that doesn't mean you are losing fat. More than likely that low you are losing a lot of important muscle tissue as well.

I honestly only eat two to three meals a day.. And have lost 23 pounds in the past month. So I don't really think it matters how many meals, more so calories in general. I do believe that having smaller more frequent meals makes your metabolism run more efficiently.
