I used to diet on an extremely strict schedule. 8am nuts and yogurt, 11am salad, 2pm apple 5pm dinner and so on. I was constantly looking at the clock to make sure I was eating when I was supposed to, every 3-4 hours. It was supposed to be fool proof- eat on time, count calories, have balanced veggies/protein and exercise.…

I need some active friends too. Feel free to add me as well. I am 5'2, currently 195lbs, and 33 years old. I'd like to lose 50-60 lbs. I like being athletic but struggle with eating. I am a mom of two small boys.

Hi. I don't have PCOS, but I do have Hypothyroidism. I know that PCOS can sometimes be caused by an underactive or undiagnosed thyroid (my sister has both PCOS and Hypothyroidism). In looking at some research, you will find that for both conditions steering clear of gluten, sugar, and soy can be beneficial. I know it is…

Congratulations on your success! :smile:

I understand where you are coming from. I have tried extreme restrictions before. Just the thought of saying "I'll never have pasta ever again" is enough to haunt you to the point where at one moment of weakness you binge on pasta thinking, "Now THIS is the last time I'll ever eat pasta again!" If I think more about all…

Feel free to add me, as well as anyone else on the thread. I need to lose 40lbs to get to a healthy weight, 50-60 to be vain :)

I've been doing the Advocare 24 day challenge. I am two weeks in and I am feeling itchy all over my face and head. I don't have a rash, but it's almost like phantom itching. Anyone else experiencing this?

I see this is an older thread, but I am 5'2 and currently 184lbs. I was 135 (size 3, muscular, loved my body) in college when I met my husband. A year later at our wedding I was 145, six months later I was 153. I've been dieting since my weight gain started with no real success. Five years of marriage, I was 170lbs then…

Hi. I am brand new too. This is my first day. Just a note on the lap band- I had four close family members who have had lap band surgery and none of them has had any success. The problem was, the diligence needed to follow the "rules" of eating after surgery was the same diligence they lacked in general healthy eating…

I am brand new to MFP. I am 5'2 and 186. In August I got down to 174 (doing Insanity and doing a 5k) but with poor eating and skimping on the gym, I shot back up. I am starting my journey again. I know how and what to eat, and I love to exercise when I can squeeze in the time, but I never had anyway to accurately log my…
