Im guessing its water weight. It will come off.

I do not really have those days yet. I already eat what I want with just a few exceptions (no more foods fried in bacon grease for instance). I just eat in smaller quantities now. I never consider eating a baggy of cheetos as cheating because as far as im concerned, as long as I record it, it doesnt matter much. I ate an…

Not being able to bring my knees up to my chest No longer being the skinny friend after spending the majority of my life being the skinny girl. $1 sundays at goodwill are no longer a fun adventure because dressing rooms now make me really upset. Having worsened chronic pain because my skeleton cannot carry the extra weight.

I saw results in 2 weeks when pants I bought the day before I started to diet were so loose that they fell down to my knees while I was walking. I of course bought a belt that day. Now I feel it every time I put my hands on my waist.

Are you losing inches?. If you are exercising that much you may be gaining muscle nearly as fast as you are losing weight

I have a phobia of sweating in public,and a fear of changing clothes in public, and one of showing how weak I am in public. I actually like the ymca. There is always some little corner where no one can see you workout, and they have a nice steam room. They have a sauna but I do not like the dry heat. Anyway the ymca is not…

Push through what you can I think. If you are a fainter during TOM then I would just lay about for the first 2 days. Sitting out for a few days is way better than falling and injuring yourself and being forced to sit it out for a month or more while you heal. I am a fainter. Technically all I have to do is stand up (or…

Im in. Just joined a gym today so I guess im gonna be exercising now. I did a workout today. Anyway I think it will help me this month. Lets see Starting weight 178.6lbs (logged it into mfp wrong during my first week so mfp is off by a pound on my pounds lost thingy) Current weight 174.3lbs Goal weight for april 170lbs…

My vent is that I was working for 8 hours yesterday in the easter dept. I was surrounded by candy all day long. It was very frustrating. Top that off with how bad my feet and legs were killing me, and it was a fairly bad day.

I was a good girl. Which was EXTREMELY DIFFICULT because I was at work, and put in charge of organizing the easter candy section. Candy everywhere. Everywhere I tell you. It took every ounce of my self control not to buy the sugar free easter bunny (360 calories for one little bunny!). Then there were the candies that I…

I do it every 4 to 7 days, in the afternoon or evening at the mall. They have exact weight machines there that charge 25 cents. It is cheaper than paying 35 bucks for a scale that is accurate to the .1lb. I usually do it after my mall walk, and a trip to the bathroom.

My goal is 130 because I had the least amount of pain at that weight. I do not think I look too bad right now. I dont care much if I look scary to people when im thin. I care about pain. The fact is that the deformities all over my skeleton make it so that ANY extra weight causes me extra pain. I dont care if it will bring…

I dunno. I eat like every 2 hours. I eat when im hungry and I stop when I am full. Because I eat so often, I do not binge anymore. This causes me to naturally eat 1200 calories. I have a max of 1500, but I just cannot eat more while eating anything even remotely resembling healthy foods. I tried to eat more but I ended up…

Lets see, before this I ate pasta, and fatty meats. I did have junk food like chips fairly often (once a week). I also had a lot of home made tacos with lots of sour cream. Basically the only thing I cut from my diet was fat, and pasta. The pasta I only cut because its hard to measure without a food scale (which I dont…

Lmao.. im supposed to stop blaming TOM for me not exercising. Durng my TOM I am screaming in pain, fainting when I try to stand (or even crawl), have massive fevers, and im vomiting constantly. Im sorry if that makes other women sound weak when I dont exercise with my TOM. Gee no TOM cant possibly make me do anything but…

Once or twice a week. Part of the reason I got so fat without realizing it is that my bathroom scale was inaccurate and I didnt know it. Still it reads that I am 10 pounds lighter than I am. I know what you are thinking, just dial the thing back 10 pounds, but when I did that it was still inaccurate. Anyway I dont weigh…

I dont know if it has been suggested, but your local library may have meal planning books. Books are often less daunting than the millions of bits of information on the internet. I agree with some of the others about how for right now you should concentrate on calories. Just doing this will help you naturally cut out junk…

Well, I will buy myself a new corset. I have a really bad back, and when I strain myself, the only way I can get out of bed is wearing one. The corsets I have now will only work for me until I have like a 35 inch waist. Im gonna get a pretty one this time instead of utilitarian black. Hopefully orchard corsets will have…

Doesnt eating that few calories cause the metabolism to slow down like it does during a famine? I could be wrong.

I lost 1.1 pounds this week (my first week). I do not care much about water weight so I did not cut sodium at all. I have lost 3 pounds so far since starting my weight loss journey. So far the numbers match up well to the number of calories I have been consuming and burning so I know that it is fat that I am losing.

No I will not eat one. I never liked them, even as a kid. I will however be sucking down dyed hard boiled eggs like there is no tomorrow

I eat as many as it takes to not be hungry. I eat a tiny mini meal every 2-3 hours. On a normal day on my current diet I eat about 1200 a day. I have a set limit of 1500 calories a day. I have a reward system where, when I am close to bed time if I am at 900 calories or less, I can have 2 ice cream sandwiches (110 calories…

I was shocked just to find out how many calories were in the pork chops I had been eating all the time. 1100 per chop. It is very fatty. Other than my love of meat and milk, I have found switching from a ridiculous number of calories a day to 1200-1500 a day to be fairly easy with MFP. I eat tiny mini meals every couple…
