Yea. It hasn't been over a month. lol. I'm not that person. It's been over 5 months so I was just curious as to what I was doing wrong or what others do to lose weight. I'm sure my 1/2 cup measuring cup isn't that inaccurate. I need to lose 30 pounds so I'll figure that out somehow. But thank you for your advice :)

Ok. Got it ;)

Thanks for all the advice. It was nothing I hadn't already thought of, but thank you for your responses. Is this for real? Yes it is. Rude much?

Yea? So my 1/2 cup of rice with veggies and 3oz of tofu isn't true? I use small plates and bowls. lol. It would be hard to overeat unless I piled the food on.

Haven't answered what? I have been replying. When people post here, it doesn't mean they are an idiot and have no idea about nutrition and how to lose weight. I have read and tried many things. I read your response and understood it. I measure and weigh food already.

So measure and weigh my tofu and veggies? I weigh my fish. I do not eat meat other than fish. I have perfect measuring cups that I use to figure out portion size.

Yes.

I understood you the first time. Dang. lol. Thank you for your advice.

Yea. Some say to eat them back, some say not to. Either way, I don't lose. lol.

I have been to doctor to do blood work, cause I'm no spring chicken ;) Haha! Thyroid was ok. My issues haven't returned... Maybe it's more energetic and not physical issues. I do log everything. I just lowered my calorie intake so we'll see what happens. Thanks for all the replies.

Thanks. Does shakeology have gluten? I cannot have it. I'll google. lol. I also like to chew food. I tried shakes before and by day 3 I was done with that.

I started this in 2011. I lost a lot of weight. Then I had some female complications which ended in surgery. I gained some weight back, but nothing crazy. Now I'm just stuck here. In that time, I've logged almost every day. Now, I've been religious about logging for about 3 months and no change in weight. I measure what I…

I log every thing . Every day. Even when on vacation away. Right now I'm at 1480 to lose 1 pound a week. I am mostly vegetarian with occasional fish. I don't eat processed foods or fast food. I'm particular in what my family eats in regards to ingredients...preservatives are a no-no here. I hike and walk the dogs regularly.

Dude. GOOD for you! Yay you!

Doesn't mean your cells are healthy. My grams smokes. She's still alive.

WOW some people just talk to talk. Shhhhh...go be negative somewhere else. I want to feel SEXY AS *kitten* when naked ;) awww yea.

:laugh: :laugh: Amg, I love you. Be my friend. Was that to creepy?

Today, in my home, I haven't done jack crap. lol. Oh well.

Do you have anything productive to add?

Not true at all. I was depressed for a long time and no one knew. But I think you're right about her just being lazy and entitled. OP mentioned that her family also acts entitled so...apple doesn't fall far...

Several conversations, no change. She doesn't care. Sorry but....she isn't going to change.

Well, in this case it doesn't seem warranted. But he has to talk to HER. I've asked if he's spoken to her about it already but get no answer. If she doesn't know, nothing can be fixed.

Depends on the situation.

You can instantly lose 180 pounds. Drop the boyfriend/husband. I have been in similar situation with someone. I would NEVER say their body size was unattractive. Just started eating healthier. Why? Because I LOVED that person.

Seems important to me. If her birth family is entitled and expecting these things from you, then it would go to show that she would have the same connotations in life. Entitled. If they don't compromise, they probably don't do much in the family as well. If she grew up like that, it would explain a lot. ETA: My mother…

I had my world and home a lot more under control when I was a single mom. lol. Interesting...

Of course. But she may be overcompensating if all you hear is the good stuff. There is bad stuff. Taking care of a child and a home can suck.

Is she close to her family? Is she close in proximity to them? I am not familiar with Canadian geography, excuse me.

And I think her husband should care deeply if she is depressed. If she's just entitled, then there's another issue. But to not care about her mindset in all of this isn't very productive.

Then you clearly have not been truly depressed. I'm not talking about being sad. Or unhappy. Those are things we can fix within ourselves. But depression, when it takes over, can be crippling. PPD can last until the child is 2. It's a horrible thing to go through. And the woman does go to work. She takes care of the child…
