My doctor referred me to a nutritionist, and she told me the opposite. She told me to eat as much protein and veggies as I want, but to limit my carbs (fruit, dairy and grains) to no more than 2 per meal. I'm not diabetic and I don't have high blood pressure. Although my nutritionist is very thin, she's pre-diabetic, and…

Mine is normally 90/70, which is low, but that's normal for me. Make sure you see your doctor if you experience dizziness, fainting or headaches.

I, too, recently ended my years-long membership with WW and started tracking on MFP. The meetings didn't work for me. I felt like the issues they went over didn't pertain to me, and they made me feel like my issues were ones I shouldn't complain about. For instance: I have a low appetite, so I find it difficult to eat…

I don't say anything for a different reason: I get tired of people asking me how it's going and what I'm doing. That puts more pressure on me than I want. Also, if I don't show the weight loss as fast as some think I should, I get comments about how hard I'm really working. I don't want to justify what I am or am not…

I take my iron pill in the morning on an empty stomach with half a glass of orange juice. I also drink at least 100 ounces of water each day, and eat quite a bit of fiber. I haven't had any issues with constipation, so maybe try that and see if it helps. I've heard liquid iron works better, but I'm not going to try that…

14 pounds equal 1 stone. If you divide 262 by 14, you get 18.71 stone. Hopefully, that helps!

I'm in!

I just cancelled my WW subscription for the 2nd time. The first time I lost 25 pounds. I gained all of that back, plus some. This time I lost 16 pounds, but couldn't maintain it, so gained back 9 pounds. I like MFP, because I know how many calories I'm eating all the time. It's also nice to see the other numbers WW…

Sorry for posting again, but I figured out how to make the picture bigger. You can really see the changes in the side view photos.

I completed one round of Insanity and lost 16 pounds and 31 inches (I have the t-shirt to prove it!). I probably could have lost more, but I was struggling with eating. I ate according to the plan, but thought the calorie calculations they gave me (almost 2,500) were a little high, so I limited my calories to 1,400. I…

I, too, did Insanity, and if you follow the calorie guidelines at the beginning of the nutrition guide, you'll lose weight. You aren't eating enough. If you're working out and moving constantly, you have to eat more. It even says so in the Insanity nutrition guide, which is why they up the caloric intake during the second…
