Bump, Thanks!

Great work!!! Glad that you are seeing results!

Your body will get used to it in a bit. The trouble with drinking caffeinated beverages only is that they relatively dehydrate you and your kidneys respond by conserving water. Then they get overwhelmed when you start adding in water.

What helps for me a little bit of something sweet with hot skim milk. A latte in the morning with sugar free vanilla syrup and hot milk with chocolate flavour Ovaltine as my bedtime snack. I started with almost 2 tablespoons of Ovaltine and have gradually whittled it down to 2 tsp. Really helps keep those sweet cravings at…

Had a quick peek at your diary and wondering if you're eating enough food actually. If you go too low, you shut your metabolic rate right down. I'd suggest adding in something for breakfast for starters, and trying to get a little closer to your daily limit. Good luck!

No, they don't include the oil as far as I know. I find the most accurate is to weight to fish raw, log it as such, and then add whatever oil I use to cook it with. Now that I measure oil, it's surprising how much less I actually need! We BBQ ours on a piece of foil, rubbed with a 1/2 tsp oil and seasoning, yum!! The oil…

Daily as well. Helps me keep focused as others have said. The ups and downs don't stress me out.

I think the only way this site works is by gradually changing your eating habits so that this becomes a lifelong way to eat. I could never lose weight eating fast food all the day, plus there's not much nutrition, so it's no wonder you're getting tired. Do you cook? Try grilling up a real steak, baked potato with low fat…

Sounds like the two of you need some counselling. Plus isn't this a health/weight related site? Not sure if someone should be making an account just to ask for advice about their son. I feel for you, but this is not the appropriate site.

Just bought a great one that I really like. It's called ARTI Digital scale by Escali, very sleek (mine's in purple) and $27 in Canada. The company is based in Minnesota so assuming it would also be available in the US. It changes from ounces and pounds to grams, very easy to use. Only downside is that the top of it is…

I'm pretty sure that there are current and up to date calorie counting paperback books out there. I believe there is one called "The Calorie Counter" that is a 2012 edition. You could also gradually build up a list of foods she commonly eats and print it out for her. But nothing beats a free site like MFP to do all the…

Yup.I am with the 3 & 6 crowd.

I agree it could possibly be rhabo... it would help if you went to a doctor or ER and got some blood work done. Better to be safe than sorry.

I would likely feel quite sick eating what you had eaten during the day. Have a high blood sugar burst can make you quite nauseated. I agree with a lot of the above. Time to go back to your doctor and suggest to him/her that you see a ED dietician. You could also look back over food records you kept in hospital. Any…

For me, I need to have something at bedtime as I don't sleep if I am hungry. But we do eat a little later, say 7:30, then I'll have a cup of hot skim with either a bit of honey or small amount of chocolate ovaltine. That works for me, but everyone is different. But I find it help me to do what others have suggested... I…

Yes. And the fact that you are afraid to gain weight make me a little concerned you may be heading towards anorexia. Even men can get it. Being at too low a weight changes people's thinking and view of their body. I would suggest gradually trying to increase your intake so it's not too scary, and do exercise moderately…

I wonder how tall you are? 100 lbs as a goal weight is way too low for most. Maybe you are levelling out at 120 because that is actually near your set point and your body is resisting going any lower? Just thoughts.

Sure, maybe a wedding is motivation enough for some people. But pictures and fitting into a dress are all about looks. Don't get me wrong, I like to look good and thinner too, but what about losing weight for health!!! For your life. To have the energy to run after your grandkids.

The main trouble with "success stories" on any new diet is that you don't know what the total numbers are because as far as I know, there aren't any studies done and published yet. That's usually how new diets are advertised and promoted. It's anecdotal evidence... not really evidence at all actually! If you think it will…

One way to deal with comments like that is to bounce them back!... By saying something like "And the reason you feel the need to say things like that to me is..." Pointedly and with a slight sarcastic edge. Or "Gee, that's not a helpful comment at all!" It takes away her power and most mothers are shocked into silence by…

16 tablespoons in a cup, so it's .0625 of a cup, so looks like about 22 calories. (but this would totally depend on how much mayo is in it. I used a generic "homemade" calorie count. Good luck

Hi! I'd be worried you might set yourself up for developing an eating disorder. I agree with some of the above writers, sounds like too much exercise for what you're proposing as your intake. Weight loss is so much more likely to stick if you do it gradually. Please be careful!
