What has helped me is that I don't buy "junk" food anymore (i.e. sweets and chips, etc). That is not to say I don't eat them on occasion (maybe once a week), but not having them handy really keeps you from just grabbing them and eating. If you only have stuff that you have to put together (i.e. prepare a meal) then you…

Probiotics and switching another type of protein shake, maybe a casein instead of whey to see if you are intolerant of whey?

Congrats!

I'm on 1200/day and am 5'3" and I have lost 20+ lbs so far. Calories In - Calories Out = Loss/Gain. It's as simple as that. Perhaps you had a week/month or whatever that your water weight fluctuated and it didn't show loss as much as you'd like or you weren't logging properly (which is common because it's hard to calculate…

I know a way you could lose 120 lbs in an instant. Dump the idiot. I know it may not seem like something you can do, but anyone who doesn't love ALL of you is not worth having.

I do low carb and count my calories. i also have a couple of splurge days per month, usually reserved for parties or birthdays, etc, where I eat whatever I want and then go back to doing my low carb thing. It has worked for me, but as with anything, some people just "get along" better with a certain way of eating than…

Move out.

No one should give you ultimatums like that. Anyone who truly loves you will love you for who you are right now, and any state you may be possibly be in later. So what happens if you did lose that weight, got married, then gained it back? Would he divorce you based on your weight? That's not love, that's control. You would…

If you are constipated or bloated, it could make your weight go up by a few pounds. Focus on your long term goals and don't weigh yourself all of the time, it is not the best indicator of your health. Also, with breastfeeding, you should consult a doctor if you are trying to do any weight loss so that they can guide you…

If you're not eating enough protein or enough calories period, your body is cannibalizing itself to try to keep you alive. Your recovery periods are probably pretty lengthy, and you may be doing more damage than good if your body doesn't have the nutrients it needs to rebuild.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I have a hard time when I'm maintaining to not obsess over small fluctuations (like during shark week or just general stress bloat). Then sometimes I get downhearted about the weight rise, and I will just eat everything because I start thinking that I'm doomed. Then I go through the weight loss process again. I haven't…

They now call me Skinny Jenn. I think that they are proud of me for how much weight I've lost in 5 years, but it comes with that twinge of "you used to be so fat" behind it. However, I take it positively, because now, people tell me how good I look, and I like the attention. My self esteem was(is?) awful, so encouragement…

Try it out, and maybe it'll work for you. Even if it were a placebo effect, that's still better than not doing anything right? Just don't expect it to be a miracle drug that magically melts your weight off without diet, exercise and pooping.

Set a goal of what weight you do not want to go over. Maybe 5-10 lbs over your lowest weight. Make a new cycle, only smaller, and eventually it turns into your being able to maintain your weight.

There's a reason why they have a term called the Freshman 15. Going to college is a huge lifestyle adjustment, and a lot can be contributed to stress or the sudden freedom of choice to do whatever you want whenever you want as compared to high school. Many social activities now probably revolve around food or coffee (or…

How painful/difficult is it to get an IUD put in if you haven't had children? I have heard that it can be quite painful.

I am satiated by 150-200 calories for a little while (3-4 hours) then I have to eat again. I'm afraid if I eat larger meals less frequently then I will be more prone to snack between meals.

I went to a chiropractor that also had physical therapy sessions afterwards to strengthen the muscles that were causing everything to go out of alignment. If you don't fix the underlying cause, then yes, it will return back to where it was when you stop getting adjustments.

I think I need to figure out how to plan better. Right now I eat a little here and there so I can eat throughout the day, but I think I would like to start saving up some calories for dinner so that I can eat yummies more often. I usually eat 150-200 calories per meal throughout the day, mostly protein and fats, but when I…

I know. It was just amusing, especially since it sounds totally tasty. I may bookmark it for later.

I started taking a multivitamin and it stopped falling out. I had also had some gum recession too though, so I think I wasn't eating right.

Drink more fluids. Part of your hunger may actually be thirst. Also, you may reconsider your calorie allotment. If you are starving at 3PM on your meal plan with only 200 calories left, it's not going to be doable. And remember, chicken breast and veggies are great for your health, but you also need to have some fats in…

Quest protein bars are awesome for that
