Yup, and I hate it!! I exercise more to balance it. A friend who has lost 140 pounds and is my guru on these matters told me we actually need 300 more calories to support our bodies during menses. So it is likely we will feel more hungry for this reason, listen to your body and eat but don't abuse yourself with junk. I try…

If you don't have one already find a good therapist to help you work it all out, no shame in it.

I hear you on this one. The weight I feel good and look good at is not a number that others think is great but I will be happy there. I still plan to be healthy and exercise but once I hit my goal I will be happy, if I go lower fine but I don't think that would be realistic for me.

All can say is You are a smart person, and thanks for sharing!:flowerforyou:

Whatever man, think of it as a fan club!! People can be so confused by what is different they sometimes are not aware of the stare :) Just do you!

Just eat it, don't go with a big candy bar bring a reasonable portion and go for it. If you deny it you will be stuck feeling like you missed out on what you wanted and that won't help you at all!!!!

Hello all. My name is Robyn I live in Southern New England, married 3 kids who are 14, 10 and 10 (yup twins!). I am looking to be healthy and to lose around 50 pounds safely. My main goal is to eliminate as many super processed foods as possible, this is not easy when you work full time and have to get dinner on the table…

Ummmmm pretty sure whole foods means minimal processing not whole animals. Just a guess.

Missing your animal is not stupid at all. Dogs are like family, but you need to take care of yourself. Maybe some short walks during the day would help your mind and body?

Thanks for this :flowerforyou:

Thanks this is great!:happy:

This is a problem for me also, the day goes fine then at night it is munch munch munch! I try keep track of it all but really I need to knock it off!

pasta alternatives are generally disgusting.

Sounds yummy thanks for sharing!

Just got an eliptical with a tension cord for the upper body. Gives a good workout and it was not all that much $$$. I do about 20 minutes a day.

A coworker who has lost over 100 pounds w/ MFP reminds us all the time to drink tons of water and to eat all our calories by choosing healthy lean protein and veggies. I know it can be frustrating, but if you average it out you are losing a pound a week or so. Good luck to you!!

Very cool story thanks for sharing it with us:happy:

I do the same Laughing Cow is so much better both calorie and flavor wise on sandwiches than I thought possible. Amazing how much you get out of that little triangle!!

Yup that's icky point taken

You could be having panic attacks. feels just the same as a heart attack or a flutter likeyou described. If you are stressed and anxious this might be the issue. Good for you for taking your health seriously.

There are some cool free apps for this out there. Haven't tried just yet due to being at the tail end of Grad school, but i hope to try it in March.

Hello all. I am about to be 41 in a few days, live w/ my hubby of 18 years and 3 kids 14, 10 & 10 (twins). I have lots of stress I have been dealing with using food which has to stop. I am finishing grad school in MArch so that dream is coming true, now I want to go back to the weight i was when I met my husband. I have 2…

Oh Goodness yes, I cn go up by about 5 pounds then it usually goes away. Maybe its water gain???

Hve you been tested for PCOS it often causes weigt gain and trouble w/ the menstral cycle. I have this and it makes it soooooo hard to lose weight and periods were irregular and when they came they were horrible! Had an ablation done,it helped somewhat, lost a little and am more regular now. Oh the joys of womanhood…

I think this is how most of got here in the first place. We fill up whatever is missing in our lives with food. This leads us to reach for things that pack on the pounds whenever we feel stressed. also research suggests that many of the foods we crave are made in a way that reacts with our brains and taste buds to make us…

Old navy, but it is only online which can be a pain. Avenue, and Eloqui which is Limited's plus line. Kohls has good clearance racks. Torrid for something sexy.
