i'm really sorry you're struggling so much. i just wanted to ask a quick couple of follow up questions so people can give more precise advice. how tall are you and how many calories are you taking in? how are you logging them?

oh now you're just being ridiculous, lol, this is far less plausible than the self walking shoes

just the usual ones: park far away in the lot or better bike to work or walk if possible. if you take the train get off an extra stop away. park farther away in all parking lots for that matter. walk to bathrooms farther away from your desk or do a lap around the floor / building when you go take the stairs walk at lunch /…

excellent, i would put those in the hot sauce food group, but i'm willing to hear arguments from the chocolate and cheese lobbyists.

but what about the one you put hot sauce on?

well done you!

i mean, other than people on the internet right? cause that's all fun and games . . . eye roll.

i just tried the pinch test, and i still feel pain. ouch.

i had a reduction and i don't regret it at all. there's still size fluctuation when i gain or lose weight, but i stay in the 36DDD-F range throughout. the pain and numbness in my shoulders is pretty much gone and i'm super pleased with the outcome. i have really minimal scarring, so it's almost imperceptible - like you…

i guess, but OP's question was about not getting enough calories and your first answer was don't worry about it. which isn't great advice considering the effects of under-eating are well known and not fun. and your second answer was to cut out all calorie dense foods. which seems like the opposite of what was asked. i'm…

unless the OP is one of those "some people" it's not really a problem, ykwim? sure, you may have trouble regulating almonds, but OP may be totally cool weighing out a portion and eating that and moving on. eliminating foods may be helpful for you. moderation may be helpful for me. what's helpful to most is limit advice…

i think this happens pretty often when people are just starting to lose weight. most cases i've seen on here it stems from a total diet overhaul. instead of eating what you ate gaining weight, you try to change everything all at once. eat a ton of veg, lean proteins, stay away from carbs and sweets. and that's well and…

as you get closer to goal it's going to be harder to lose. also, you lost a significant amount of weight in a short period of time. the smaller you needs fewer calories than the larger you did. so it's worth it to recalculate at your current weight. other than that, how are you logging? do you use a food scale? verify that…

I've read the rat study. i've read the reviews of the rat study. i've read articles about the rat study and about reviews of the rat study. the rat study is problematic for several reasons. you can find a comprehensive review here…

egg noodles mixed with cottage cheese and tuna with salt and pepper tuna also ALWAYS goes in mac and cheese, preferably with garlic powder or sazon all purpose seasoning hot chilli jam with soft cheese like brie on crackers (side of red wine is not optional) scrambled eggs with cream cheese mashed in fries are always…

in fairness, when a new member comes in and posts something that gets asked often (ACV comes to mind immediately) veterans always ask why they didn't do a search for the topic beforehand. can't win for losing.

is it? what's the traditional? i use chickpeas, tahini, lemon, garlic, salt and paprika. sometimes i'll mess with flavors (sriracha and liquid smoke is a nice one) but then i don't call it hummus, just chickpea "insert flavor here" dip.

to the bolded: that's not only misguided, but *kitten* dangerous. relying on 'diet' to cure serious medical conditions has caused many many deaths. several posters have previously recounted horrible anecdotes about friends and family who were killed by this kind of misinformation. and could have been saved by conventional…

Homemade garlic bread topped with arugula, red sauce with peppers veggie Italian sausage and veggie meatballs, and cheeeeeeese. I can’t believe I ate the whole damn thing. Someone high five me. 902 calories. 64 grams protein. Stayed under my goal.

there is a cap on the amount of body fat that can be converted to energy and used in a given period (fat oxidation). after that your body will start to use energy from other sources, including your muscles, which includes your heart. eating at a sensible deficit is much a much safer and healthier way to lose fat and…

http://vegnews.com/articles/page.do?pageId=10401&catId=2 found this list earlier and looked up the thread again in case it's not too late

i agree that motivation is fleeting and habits are what carries me through the rough days. but, when i feel like i just need a quick pick me up i visit the success stories thread http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/1167854/photo-only-success-stories and the non scale victories thread…

to the bolded, i agree, i don't want to sit at the table and search for things during the meal. we had friendsgiving last night and i snapped a quick picture of my plate which wasn't out of the ordinary in any way (thanks instagram!) and then put my phone away. when i woke up this morning i had the picture for reference…

pretty darn easy.

if you want to be able to do more push ups you kind of just have to do more push ups. you know what i mean? you have to train for it specifically. same with pull ups, which, btw, are super hard. for me anyway. but when i was practicing them i got better. but if i try to get better at doing pull ups by doing squats, that's…

their chocolate chips are vegan and i bake with them and also snack on them. their nuts (raw cashews and lightly salted pistachios are my favorites) are way cheaper than other groceries, ditto for their coconut oil. i LOVE their lightly seasoned brussel sprouts. the hummus sampler is great for when i can't make a choice.…

have you considered a suppository? is that allowed?
