So you won't open your diary? You won't cite your sources to back up your claim? You won't explain your obsession with the exclamation point? I have one more question: You make all these claims... if you were so healthy you have been here for just under a year and your ticker says you have lost 10 lbs with a lot more to…

Testimonials from others that you can use to further your business? No one attacked you, you were asked questions that is what adults do when there is something presented. Maybe you are a bit defensive. Does your motivation and support only come with a purchase of beachbody product?

Where is the negativity I saw people ask good questions? What happens on day 4 and what are the qualifications?

When did I name call? I asked a question well a few questions. Will you open your diary so I can learn from your wonderful example? And why do you believe on the excessive use of an exclamation point? Pretty simple questions I thought

Do you believe your over use of the exclamation point gives better credibility to your claims? Because for me it reminds me of when my son was about 2 years old and yelling ITS NOT FAIR!!!!!!

I'm in denial, yet my diary is open, I can back up my health improvements with copies of my blood work for the past 2 years, PFT results, EKG, Echo cardiogram, and 3 different doctors. But yet you hide your diary and spout out all these claims with nothing to back them up

Can you open your diary again so I can see just how healthy your intake is. Since I believe you average around 900 calories a day, which Ms. Healthcare professional isn't very healthy. Now where's my ice cream!

Absolutely amazing! Thank you!

Definitely this! I wake up normally around 3 - 3:30 am every day, my first meal is usually around 1 -2 in the afternoon. My metabolism is just fine :)

Biking and lifting my favorite forms of exercise!

Don't over think it, and please read the sexypants link that was given to you earlier. Typical day for me is: Lots and lots of coffee Meal 1 - 300-500 calories Meal 2 - 1100-1400 calories Total daily calories 1600-2000 daily Has worked great for me.

This! When you are logging are you using a scale to weigh your portions? Are you using recipes created by other MFP members? Are you using generic entries in the database? Are you checking the entries nutritional information before using that entry to make sure it's accurate? Your diary isn't open so can't see your…

They do suck but yes it is possible. I was on a very high daily dose of prednisone when I started and for the first 8 months of my weight loss. It meant I had to carefully monitor my intake and deal with some water retention due to the prednisone. It does have a side effect of increased appetite which logging and just…

Definitely this! Log your food accurately and honestly. Go for 80% good choices the other 20% don't worry so much about. I eat lots of delicious food and have consistently lost. Keep it simple find a REASONABLE deficit: Most people do not need to eat 1200 calories to lose. If you have 75+ lbs to lose 2 lbs/week is ideal If…

Coupons & stock pile when on sale. Our store puts Talenti on sale every 5 weeks (yes I take my ice cream serious as you know) and the Breyer's Gelato is on the same schedule (and you can usually find and coupons for the Breyer's) And of course I highly recommend spending the $25-30 on an ice cream maker and make your own!…

Welcome to MFP Debbie! Best of luck to you. Here's some links to hopefully help you get started! :flowerforyou: Log your food accurately and honestly. Go for 80% good choices the other 20% don't worry so much about. I eat lots of delicious food and have consistently lost. Keep it simple find a REASONABLE deficit: Most…

I can be mean... I'm going to steal the cake you made yesterday and eat it ALL :)

If I had to eat just brown rice and smoothies I would stay fat. Instead I ate everything I always did before... chicken, steak, fish, veggies, fruit, lots and lots of ice cream, cookies, cakes.

General Advice: Get a food scale, learn how to log accurately and be honest with yourself. And don't cut out any food groups. MFP advice: If you create a thread asking for advice, actually listen to the advice. If you are just looking for people to tell you what you are doing is great even if it's unsafe, stupid and a…

I wish you luck cause I have been where you are. I would hope you would rethink going on yet another diet and take a step back read the link that was given and I'm going to give you a few more. You don't have to go to drastic measures to lose weight, you don't have to be overly restrictive. I started at 285 lbs, was on…

I love this! Absolutely beautiful and you will do this. Now I might actually put on some makeup today :flowerforyou:

OP you have been on MFP since 2012 and you haven't learned yet that these quick fixes don't work long term?? Give up the fads, figure out at reasonable calorie deficit and have patience. For the person that mentioned the Dr. Oz cleanse - JUST NO! If Dr. Oz name is attached to it run, and cleanses are just cleansing your…

Take a look at your logging make sure it's accurate. If you aren't losing you aren't in a deficit. You mention not eating crap which is a good thing as eating crap is just gross and unsanitary. But you never mentioned how many calories you are consuming. Here's some information & links that you should read that will help:…

I will be making this

I might need to make some cupcakes and try ... for science of course

I was thinking maybe we can just hand out Prozac or something so people relax

I didn't notice much of a change in how my clothes fit until after dropping about 50 lbs. Don't get discouraged this is a process, it takes time. You are worth the time. But remember there are other indicators of progress, not being so winded when walking, being able to walk further or faster than you could last week.…
