Try chia seeds made into "pudding." I put 1 3/4 tablespoons in either 1 cup water or 1 cup almond milk and let it sit a while in the fridge. A few hours works best. I must say, nothing I've ever consumed has so little calories and keeps me comfortable and full for so long. Made with water, it has only 105 calories for the…

This may not be helpful now, but in the future (once you get things moving again) please try adding flax seed and chia seeds into your diet. I have been in your position a handful of times, and the only thing keeping me out of it is 1/2 cup plain greek yogurt, 1 T chia seeds, 2 T milled flax seed, strawberries and 1/4 cup…

I live in a tree house and I don't shave my armpits. I hike with my husky every single day in the forests of Sonoma County, CA. Let's be friends! I love adventure stories!

Moved to wine country (Sonoma, CA) eight months ago, and I've had to cut waaaay back for the sake of weight loss. Same thing with the cheese. Add me if you'd like, and I promise not to send you to AA. Once you get hooked on MFP, the booze and cheese will sort themselves out!! Good luck and welcome to the party!

This is so funny! My mother has said the same exact thing about my father! He smells stinky to me after he exercises, so I would have to say that they must have that complimentary body odor thing going on! In my own experience, I have dated someone that smelled so good to me that I was nearly intoxicated by his "smell." I…

You're stunning! Keep up the good work, and thanks for the inspiration!

I agree with upping your calories by a few hundred. I was going through a similar situation a few weeks ago, and ended up increasing my calories from 1200 to 1720. Wow, I feel so much better and the weight is coming off like crazy! I do not eat meat, just lots of dark green leafy veg instead. Probably smart to check with…

I'm 28 years old. My biggest complaint has always been constipation. I have had colonoscopies to make sure everything is alright in there. I have been hospitalized three times due to blockages and impaction. I have tried everything from herbal laxative teas to Miralax daily, to running four miles a day and drinking gallons…

I'm 6 ft and 3/4 of an inch. CW 170 lbs and I'm wearing size 10 or 12 jeans. My lowest weight recorded was 129 lbs but I was way too thin and wore a size 2-4. Current goal weight 145 lbs and for me that means size 6. I have huge hips and broad shoulders no matter how much I weigh, so weighing significantly less is the only…

milled flax seed. Add it to yogurt or smoothies. Only 60 calories for 2 tablespoons, and well worth it. Don't give in to the Taco Bell.

You have nothing to be ashamed of! You look absolutely fantastic and your weight loss is much more noticeable in tighter fitting clothing. You're perky in all of the right places. Good on you, and keep up the good work! (I don't shave either. Period.)

The most embarrassing thing that ever happened to me was in my early 20s. I was working at a Fortune 500 company, but still a newbie, and a complete dork. Just so happened that I had worn this sort of stretchy pink dress to work that day. I stopped for a pee break before hitting the lunch line. This was during a very heavy…

I avoid it like the plague. It gives me a migraine, which means one of my eyes generally swells up from the pain and I'm bedridden for 24-36 hours. The last time this happened, about two weeks ago, I had switched from Citrucel to the "sugar-free" version. The same also happened a few months prior, after eating a few…
