Works for me but this is the fourth time I've seen this link in separate posts during the last week...

Ignore the whining, she'll get used to being in the crate again. Our dog sleeps in his own bed in our bedroom and we never had many problems with him until we went away on holiday for a month and left him with my boyfriend's parents. Whenever he pestered them in the middle of the night they'd eventually let him into bed…

Further thoughts. If you have been taking a multi-vitamin regularly it is unlikely you are vitamin deficient, unless you have a very restrictive diet and the levels in the multi-vit are not high enough. If you are eating 1200 calories a day chances are that's lower than your Basal Metabolic Rate, and excessive fatigue is a…

Search in the recipes section for some ideas. And this as a start:

PS re chest pains, that sounds like something you should talk to your doctor about.

You must be about 178-180 tall? The BMI scale is a statistical tool which was originally developed to compare populations to each other. It doesn't differentiate between genders, and I'd say that even for a woman 180 tall 59kg would be very very lean. If you are looking very thin at the top end of the BMI healthy range…

I hope I misunderstood you there, because to me that reads as 'I'm going to eat 500 calories less than my BMR', which is definitely not advisable.

Click on 'My Home', then 'Goals' in the subheading. Then custom change your goals :) PS you may be right about 1800 being more successful for weight loss, I had the same experience after increasing from 1200 after 7 months.

I vaguely plan our meals for the week in order to go grocery shopping, but decide what to actually eat on a daily basis, then log accordingly.

Calories burned > calories consumed. If calories burned during the week >> overall calorie requirements for sanity, = binge

You sound hungry.

I think this link has been uploaded on here a few too many times.

It sounds like you want to lose weight but not badly enough that you're willing to make permanent change to achieve it. You've got the knowledge, now you just need the kick up the butt to do it. And although a kick up the butt sounds external it needs to come from within (figuratively speaking - have just given myself some…

Just saw this. Glad she's better!

Is she hiding? Standing behind furniture or curtains? My cat does this when she's in pain (she has sciatica). When she's actually sick she just won't eat and will stay in bed, sometimes it passes in 24 hr but I'd recommend weighing her now and again in a few hours and if her weight has gone down get her to a vet

Isn't this the point of it? It's so revolting and boring you lose weight because you simply can't consume enough of it to stop losing weight. OP, just eat at a deficit. No cabbage required, and it actually works.

I drink far less now than I did a year ago before I started losing weight. I used to have 3 beers a night, now it might be three a week. once is started really looking at the calories I decided it wasn't worth it, and I feel much better for it.

Check the labels, because actually canned foods can have more nutrients in them than, say, vegetables that have been incorrectly stored in the fridge for a week. Not spam, ewww, but there are canned/tinned options for many vegetables and also good protein sources. eg. Canned beans are a staple in my house, they are great…

I also use an Apple app to track this - True Weight. it's free and also averages your weight so the spikes don't have as much significance.

Bump because I read up on the Galloway method earlier today and am also confused!

I think if you can save up some money to properly stock your kitchen with good basic ingredients it doesn't need to be expensive to cook. As a student I made low fat meals with lentils, cans of fish, rice, pasta, frozen veggies and other grains as my staple ingredients. There are websites you can google to find healthy low…

Agreed about the booster shots being needed. My sister in law got pertussis a couple of years ago and broke a rib in her back from the coughing. She thought she was adequately vaccinated but unfortunately the vaccine schedule in New Zealand doesn't follow up adults for pertussis. I think 3 or 4 kids died there in 2011…

if you've never eaten them ever then how do you even know you like apples and corn, and nothing else?

1300 cal per day + 10km running at that weight =~ 700 net cals.

Yes. I sit in front of a special bright lamp for 30 mins a day and no longer get such bad symptoms in winter.

It makes absolutely no difference by weight. However a cup of sliced banana has fewer calories than a cup of mushed banana because mushed takes up less volume, eg you would use more bananas to fill the cup.

Under 1200 net calories

I'm Rosie and I'm 28. I'm from New Zealand but have been living in Germany with my boyfriend for the last 18 months. I am learning German with an aim to get back into my career(s) as nutritionist/project manager before summer. I finished C25K at the end of 2013 and have just completed Week 9, Day 2 of my C210K trainer by…

Honesty is rarely popular in these types of threads. I'm sure 1000 cal a day plus laxatives is going to be almost as much fun for the OP as a vacation to Disneyland

Recipes aside, this "cleanse" you are doing sounds quite restrictive if you aren't allowed toe at certain types of vegetables, and if you are planning to eat only vegetables plus this AdvoCare potion for the next 10 days you're going to have a bad time. It looks like a laxative dressed up as a metabolism booster, which is…
