I know when my mother had cancer, they told her not to lose weight until she was in remission. And she had a lot to lose. Treatments take a lot out of you and a lot of people shrink down too much during chemo. You're body is in a high stress state and it's better to put weight loss on hold until you get the all clear…

Yeah. Lot of biology majors up here don't like math and even in nutrition classes, some refuse to believe the text books over celebrity doctors/diet gurus. I kinda feel like a lotta stuff is superstitious when it comes to weight loss "do's and don'ts". Like people didn't have all the information and so tried to do their…

I'd be interested :smiley:

Thanks for the advice guys. I've been doing 1500 calories or so right now (with 200 calories added whenever I have to go out with friends). It's been fairly easy this time and to be honest I was 240 lbs a year and a bit ago so I remember what a difference it was to be at that weight. I'm perfectly fine with having to be…

I have tried weight watchers 5-6 times and it's got its pros and cons. It was never a good fit for me because it's cons we're in areas I needed the most support in. Pros: great support system with the forums and the meetings Accountability is bigger since they will be weighing you no matter what Meetings give you tips for…

I know that if you just went with the first pill you tried and didn't go back to tweak things with your doctor, your pills might not have been right for you. I just started taking BC in the last few months and I noticed that with the first pills I took, my breasts definitely got larger, which I wouldn't complain about…

If you're in USA/Canada I know its illegal for them to not give you a lunch break. I'd really look into the laws in your area, but I know some places don't have those sort of labor laws. I know sometimes work piles up and you don't feel like you have the time, but standing up for even three minutes and walking around every…

Thanks for the replies everyone. I might bump my calories down by 200 and see if anything happens. I had been eating less then 1600 (not net) for a few weeks before starting TDEE and I was miserable and tired all the time so I know there has to be a happy medium in between. I'm going to be patient, its just hard to be this…

:( Not cheap enough for me. I'll stick with old navy sales and old clothes. Though I like the custom order site. My tops are L and my bottoms are 2X so it would be nice to get a dress that fit right for Christmas. Thanks.

*cough* There definitely isn't all the turbo jam videos on the internet. If you google "Turbo Jam Turbo Sculpt" "Turbo Jam 20 minutes" "Turbo Jam Cardio party" you definitely won't find them all uploaded onto Chinese websites in english. You should definitely not do this. Nope. I do not advise this. :wink: Seriously…

I'm not going to comment on the diet. But if you don't wanna make some protein pancakes, or mix tofu or tempeh in with a stirfry for your lunch? Or eggs if you eat them (egg whites are awesome protein). Or a protein bar/shake?

Crockpots make life really easy if you have even just a few hours on one day, a little extra cash up front and freezer space. I'm a university student in Canada (where food is even more expensive and farmers markers are where you go to spend money, not save it). I really recommend watching the store fliers/checking out…

Gonna do this in jot note form: -2 lbs in a week is great -get a measuring tape (or a piece of string and a ruler) and measure yourself. Trust me, you'll see more losses there and thats always great. I like making a big chart in excel, or making a poster so that your success is easy to see. My losses slowed a bit one week…

A Calorie is not a calorie. Its a kilocalorie! What I was seriously expecting from that title. I'm disappointed. :cry:

Hey, I'm a Newfie living in Central NS now.

Or 2 cups pumpkin + 1 spiced cake mix + 1/2 cup of chips? I just made it today its so good

I like peaking at my friends diaries or at diaries of people who are posting asking for help, but I kinda wish I had some local friends, lol. At least 2/3 of my friends are from the UK and so when I look at their diaries, they're filled with foods i have never heard of. I'm sure my diary though is full of strange recipe…

If I wanna drink something straight, I'll drink cow milk. But if I'm mixing it up with other things, I always used almond milk. I find it has great taste, goes well in baking, is cheaper, etc. In fact, I've pretty much stopped buying cow milk since I don't like drinking calories. I don't like soy. :tongue: and coconut milk…

Feel free to add me. I've got a ton of weight to lose so I'm on here everyday and I try to encourage my friends. I can completely relate to the fear. There is a million things going on in peoples lives 24-7 and the extra weight can be a safety blanket in our minds. For four years now I've let the weight pile on since in my…

I love this recipe :D. It freezes well too: http://www.skinnymom.com/2013/08/08/skinny-crock-pot-chicken-tortilla-soup/

:cry: I misread my calories yesterday. I went over by 52 calories :sad: I'll see you all in November! Good luck everyone.

Sedementry is supposed to be like wheelchair bound. If you don't walk more then from the couch to the bed and you certainly are above that. I'd say at least lightly active, probably even more. I use the TDEE-20% method right now, but when I did follow MFP I definitely saw the best numbers when I ate at least 1/2 my…

You don't have to change everything. Start small and start smart. First of all: Getting into veggies: The easiest way to start is to start mixing them into what you do eat. If you have a chicken burger, load it up with lettuce/onion/tomato/etc. Maybe look into making sweet potato fries with it. Pizza rolls- I'm guessing…

October 13th Did I stay within my calorie budget? Yes Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes - 40 mins! Woo! Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes Tomorrow is Thanksgiving here in Canada. I'm gunna eat a lot of turkey :tongue:

Kale/spinach chips :heart: tear up kale or spinach leaves (or just use baby spinach), wash and dry them, spread them out on tinfoil on a cookie sheet, spray them with a misto (or with pam), sprinkle on spices, pop in oven for ~15 mins at 375 (You'll know they're done with they're stiff and crispy) Or get a popsickle kit…

Happy thanksgiving. :drinker: I'm gunna cook up half a turkey, carrots, turnip (or rutabega? Is that what mainlanders call it?) and cauliflower because potatoes aren't worth it. Kinda wish I could go home for a big feed, but at least I have control over portions. :smile:

I'm just short of 5'10 and I weight 275 and wear a US 20-24 depending on make (20 in penningtons curvy jeans is best fit) I'm just a normal 32 inseam since my height is 100% in my torso. When I was at my goal weight (175-185) I was wearing size 11/13 jeans.

I'm owned by two cats. People can add me if they want. :flowerforyou: I'm going to school to work with animals so I'm a fan of everything that has less then 6 legs, and even some with six. The cat thats my pic right now is a spoiled, manipulative, fatty but he loves you if you want to brush him and he does try to rescue…
