Medical journals aside, I think it mostly just depends on the person. If you are not eating all morning, because you don't feel hungry, but by lunch you're famished, and just reach for the first thing you see that tastes good, and will fill you up quickly, then I say you should probably eat breakfast. If not, then just…

What was the plan? Just curious.

All you need to do is make better food choices. More healthy, fresh foods, lean meats, protein sources. Be creative and get cooking. Less fast food, and move more. MFP is a real eye opener. It can be surprising how many calories are in the foods we eat. Just don't try to rush things. It takes time to lose weight. You can…

Awww...this is such a great post! It's so true too!!! I usually have frumpy days myself, caring for 3 boys. I usually have puffy eyes with dark circles, and my hair usually never cooperates, or is too much of a pain in the butt to do anything with, and usually ends up in a ponytail. Most of my profile pics are my "best"…

As long as you can control your portions, you can eat what you want and lose weight, as long as it is within your calorie goal. ;) I'm living proof. I still shoot for eating 80% healthy. I find that if I have a nice treat everyday, it keeps me from binging, because I don't feel deprived. :) Everyone has their own way that…

Someone probably already said this, but get an electronic scale. It makes it so much easier, more accurate, and you dirty less dishes. ;) Don't sweat it though. Remember, it takes 3,500 calories to gain 1lb of fat. You're good. ;)

Ahhh yes! Same as Chicago style food to me. :((( Man do I miss it!

For real. 10 minutes and I'm spent! 2 hours really is amazing!!! You ROCK OP!!!! :drinker: As for the person who said it is only moderate activity level, they have obviously never performed it. It is definately vigorous/intense exercise. :wink:

^^^Definately this!!! ;)

I'm so sorry to hear that. What I would do? Retreat to my room, eat those cookies, have a good cry....and then, I would bust my a** in the gym and eat right, until I had a rockin' hot body, and show his a**!!! Then I would get a new man who also had a rockin' hot body, and was younger and hotter than him. :wink: Of course,…

OP, ignore anything this man has to say. I have seen other posts of his, and he has no idea what he is talking about. A blood sugar below 70 is considered low, and you will develop symptoms when your sugar gets that low. Some diabetics even have symptoms at a higher level. I've had patients of mine practically be in a coma…

If you are fairly overweight, you can eat at a deficit and gain muscle. When I first started, I lost 20 inches in a few weeks, without losing any weight. Still eating at a deficit, and still gaining visible muscle. I would probably gain muscle faster if I was not eating at a deficit, but I still have a good bit of fat to…

Sounds about right to me. Try it and see how fast or slow you're losing, then adjust if needed. :wink: I'm 5'3", weigh 140, and do zumba 2-3x's/week, and lift 2-3x's/week, plus chase a 2 year old at home. I try to be active when I'm at home too, and when i eat around 1,700-2,000 calories/day, I lose about 1lb/week. :smile:

I think that your psychologist is not an expert on nutrition or diet, and should stick to his area of expertise. What you do need to do, is not eat when you are depressed, or bored, or anxious, or stressed, or whatever. Instead, find other healthier ways to deal with these emotions. Exercise really is great for dealing…

For real! Maybe steroids are the answer. Hahaha :laugh:

I will totally buy your shirt!!! Lol. I feel like I'm at home, having to clean up after kids n hubby, when I go to the gym. I get so tired of racking everyone's weights! These young guys get in there, do one set, or whatever, and then sit around BSing for an hour! While they're BSing, their weights are always sitting on…

I am still trying to lose the last 10-20lb's. I was about 10lb's from goal, but I recently changed my goal to 120, from 130, currently 140lb's. 5'3". My belly has the last bit of fat I need to lose. The first place you gain, is the last place you'll lose. It's been about a year, and I'm still trying to lose the last bit of…

I LOVE my Zumba!!! ;) I believe it's the only way I would have lost as much weight as I did. Mostly because I love to dance, and it's probably the only thing I'm willing to do consistantly. I also love lifting weights now, but Zumba's my favorite. It also burns tons of calories, but you gotta shake dat bootie! :happy:

After reading all these posts....OP, I have lost 120lb's overall. I can tell you, that weight mostly came off by eating a little less, and moving a little more. Now I have 10-20lb's left to lose, and it is the hardest thing I've tried to do, (as far as weight loss is concerned). I bust my *** trying to lose it. So don't…

^This is probably the best advice ever! My husband works evening shift, and is hardly ever home for dinner. His only day off is on Sunday, so I usually plan for us to go out to eat on that night, or if I make a meal that's high in calories, I know to save some calories for that night. :wink: Hey! Maybe you can tell him to…

Bump :D

Yeah, I like to have a pulse when I run....or any other time! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Sorry, couldn't help myself. :happy: :tongue:

You mean like mini trampolines???:laugh: :happy:

That sounds like a nightmare!!! Not sure where you live, but it says in the post, that this procedure is not performed here in the US. Sounds like it's for a good reason. ;)

Yeah, 120lb's lost total here. Not happy with my boobies at all. Definately considering that and tummy tuck once I reach goal. After having my belly stretched beyond belief with my two boys, I could definately use one. In the meantime, it's push up bras for me. :)))

What medication are you on? Many of us deal with this, including myself. It's called emotional eating, in your case, at this time, stress eating. One of the issues, is to deal with the stress. You need to find other ways to deal with it, other than stuffing food in your mouth. I know, it's rewarding, makes you feel good,…

If the doctor is referring you to a nutritionist, doesn't your insurance cover this? If not, then you need to speak to your doctor. If you can not afford to see a nutritionist, then tell him that. In the meantime, MFP is a big help. I just think that if it needs to be a quick weight loss, for medical reasons, then your…

Just eat lots of chocolate. You can get some good deals on it right about now with Valentine's day being over and all. :happy: :flowerforyou:

I love this!!! "applauds" :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: Ladies, don't just read the snippet, read the WHOLE article, 'cuz it rocks!!!! When you're done, go lift something heavy! Lol. Honestly, since I've started lifting, I have made amazing improvements in my body. It has taken some time, other than the nube gains, but…
