It definitely itely sounds like you have some things to work out. My advice is to get professional help. It’s great that you’re eating better and exercising, but take it from me: I lost a lot of weight and I still wasn’t happy. I currently see a therapist and a psychologist to help me deal with the real issues. Keep up the…

The bolded comments are raising some flags for me. If you've not already done so, may I suggest you speak with your doctor and get him/her to refer you to a Registered Dietician? I'm concerned for you. :( [/quote] :( When I look at the comments that are bolder, I too see that I’m still struggling more than I thought I was.…

I am 5 ‘2”. I was 135 lbs last I looked, but that was a year ago. I don’t use a scale anymore because I have some eating issues. I lost about 40 lbs last year: in a very unhealthy way. I admit I have very unhealthy views towards food. And sadly, if I were to eat more than 1200 calories per day, normally, I would, and do,…

Congrats! I’ve been at it for five days now. I don’t use a scale, so I can’t say how much I’ve lost. If any. My work uniform feels pretty lose though.

My maths are on point. I really eat very little. And it’s trying to eat to keep up my macros that I’m struggling with. It feels like a lot of food. I usually run to do some other form of workout to burn off the calories but I havnt energy right now to do that

I’m definitely increasing the salt intake. And adding electrolytes to my water. I just look forward to when this part is over and I find the energy that every speaks of. I’ve reached ketosis before, but by a much less healthy means. It wasn’t as hard on me as this was though.

i only recently came back to MFP, but back when i was logging in daily i found that the 1200 calorie was hard to sustain. And i found that i wasnt losing weight on it either. i upped my calorie intake to 1400 and did lose a few pounds at that intake. then i fell off the MFP bandwagon and stopped altogether, and was just…

Matt shadows What is your favourite alcoholic beverage ?

tattoo artist!!

veterinarian assistant

Patch Adams, Good Will Hunting, Dead Poets Society, Good Morning Vietnam, The Fisher King. Damn, its just so hard to believe that he is gone. The man who made us laugh and cry- he was a comedic genius. He was a fantastic actor. And now he is a spokesman for mental illness, depression and suicide by speaking in his loudest…

i want to feel confident in my clothes. I dont want to be the "fat" chick at work. I want me kids to be proud of me. And , well- my boyfriend is a few years younger than me , and spends a lot of time at the gym. He is pretty damn good looking. I dont want some hot young girl with a smoking body taking my mans attention…

those are some pretty high goals but i know you can do it!! Congrats on taking the steps to a healthier lifestyle!

why do you say they hate you? I think that as humans we jump to the wrong conclusions way too quickly. I know how you feel. I am friendly to everyone i speak to, but i am also a bit of an introvert, and very shy. I dont jump in on the discussions and as a result i used to think that no one liked me. But ive realized, thats…

google fat vs muscle and you will see why this is. i tried to paste the image here but for whatever reason it isnt working. they may weight the same but muscle is much more dense. Congrats! Ill bet you look fantastic!!

thanks for all the replies everyone. you all have given me some really good advice. Im going to try not to go into panic mode again. and just keep doing what i am doing unless of course- the scales start to really slip upwards. in which case i will have stomach bypass (joking). I know there is no way possible i could have…

hey Katie, no....i cant blame the period on this. Sadly :(

fruits and nuts are actually pretty high in fat and sugars and calories . the healthy alternative to junk....is just as fattening :( however they are much higher in fibre so they are good for your body. just be careful how much you eat of them. you are cycling a heck of a lot! Are you eating back the calories that you…

the one thing i dont like at MFP, is that when you log strength work outs- it doesnt say how many calories you burned like it does when you do a cardio work out. SO its hard to try to eat back calories you burn when you havnt a clue how many you actually burned. I usually finish my work out with some time on the stationary…

brownie batter for breakfast? yummy!! LOL I would miss that. :D i definately felt the lack of caloric intake yesterday. i tried to eat to make up for the deficit yesterday when i got home, but the appetite was not there. i was so tired. i should have just gone to bed but i went to the gym with my bf instead, and did a…

really hard to say about how the clothes are fitting. i tend to dress in pretty comfy clothes during the summer. ive been on leave for two weeks but head back to work on tuesday. I guess putting on the uniform will tell the truth. I guess it is possible that i consumed a lot of salt while camping. although we didnt take…

IM not fifty yet, but getting there. (48). I have four grown children (22-27) but no grandchildren yet. But I am trying desperately to go from from fluffy to flat!!! Congrats on beating cancer! That is a huge achievement! You have gone through the battle of a lifetime! Doing this shouldnt be that hard (but I do know how…

what is a fitbit?? LOL Hello Cindy! Im all for motivation. i have motivational issues myself, but trying to take this very seriously this time. Friend me if you would like. I would like to know what a fit bit is :D
