I just had a weekend of being away from home, constantly on the go... and was surprised by my weight gain, and had to think back on it. So it' sfresh on my mind today lol!

To be completely honest here... have you pooped lately? Just weigh yourself again afterwards... and you'll understand what I mean... lol.

Relatively new vegan here, would love to have a few more vegan friends - as I have too many keto lol.

Yes!!! I eat SO many beans. Kidney beans, black beans, black eyed peas, ect. I wonder what vegetables are high in protein? Or vegetables that are lowest in calories but provide the most fiber and protein to keep us full? I have noticed that I eat WAY more fiber now that I have become vegan, and all of that fiber fills me…

Vegan here, counting calories. I am relatively new at vegan eating - about 2 months. I found out that Oreos are vegan... and, well... let's just say I was doomed from then on! ;) I also eat a lot of hummus and peanut butter - which are FULL of calories. I try to stay away from too much soy based products. All in all -…

I started my journey almost 3 years ago, wanting to lose 30 pounds. I have lost 7.5 lbs, not a big feat... BUT... MFP has helped me realize what healthy eating is all about. I haven't gained a pound over my starting weight and I now have an idea what I'm shoving in my face everyday.

<<<<< Some of us don't have very well behaving gut bacteria, or it has been damaged in the past, so we need that extra boost. You, sir must have a very lucky gut to not experience what comes along with a messed up tummy. If you are concerned with the extra stuff in Kefir, try Kombucha and greek yogurt. Kumbucha has tons of…

Wow... most of these toddler anime recommendations are horrendous, lol. Try Card Captor Sakura, Ponyo or any other Studio Ghibli film. Wolf Children the movie. Chi's Sweet Home, Polar Bear Cafe and Nyanpire!

I was just about to say the same thing! I want to go back to my B cup. I hate that when I gain weight, It goes straight to my boobs lol

You remind me of my little brother... he has been dating the same girl for years. She is a few years older than me but has the mental capacity of a 16 year old. She mentally abuses him and yet he still won't leave her. For the past 4 years we knew something was wrong and tried to get him to realize that he is in danger of…

Hey there! It's interesting that this thread popped up again, but I have had good experiences with the Nexplanon implant. I have had it in for just a little over a year now. My mood is much more relaxed and I don't get mood swings every month like I used too. It completely stopped my periods about a month afterwards, which…

I know it's a given but I have finally come to realize this after years of not caring about what I ate for breakfast. I have finally realized that if I eat a high protein big breakfast, I won't snack throughout the whole day! Less calories consumed! I'm a terrible snacker!

Feel free to add me. My husband and I are in the boat as well! I am looking for more active friends on here to keep me accountable. My diary is also viewable as well!

Yes! I've been needing ideas as well... something filling that won't make me hungry again in an hour. My downfall is snacking so much that I always end up going over calorie count.

I share my diary as well! Without MFP I wouldn't have known all the crap that I was eating! Feel free to add me and good luck!

Thanks for this! It's always so different when you write out your thoughts and goals to the world!

I am the same way... I just have to completely cut myself off. I tell everyone around me that I am going "cold turkey" as well. People never stop trying to get you to eat stuff anyway... I am terrible at moderation and always have been!

If you were on an airplane at any point in your trip, that can definitely add to your weight as well. Eating super salty foods on the airplane can be a factor. I tend to get really bloated and feel terrible after a big trip in the air. Don't feel discouraged as 8 pounds in the grand scheme of things isn't that much! I…

I see you are adding extra fiber capsules to your diet. I have always had bad experiences with adding extra "stuff" to my diet like that. You may be eating too much fiber... Not sure if you are female or male but that time of the month can mess things up both ways as well!

Best advice... go to a doctor! If you say you have an eating disorder, I think it is time for a different way of approaching things. Only a doctor can advise for you what your body needs after a full physical exam.

Hi Tia! I'm an anime geek as well, Sent you a friend request :)

Add me if you would like, I am halfway to my goal and track everyday. My diary is also open for view!

Whew, ok! That's what I was hoping you were saying! You could possibly have vertigo from sinus problems? I tend to get dizzy every once in a while because of sinus blockage. Although... Nothing on this thread is going to tell you the exact answer unless you go see your doctor!

I may be missing the point but... I have never heard of birth control that is drinkable...

I personally loose or gain anywhere from 1-3 pounds in one night. I have noticed that I weigh less on the weekends when I am not stressed out than during the week. Don't let one pound bother you! Your weight will most likely be completely different the next day. There are MANY factors that pertain to a gain, being near…

Honestly, I believe in both. I like starting off by completely eating clean. No breads, pastas, or extra carbs. A strict diet of protein/veggies/fruits. It helps me clean my slate completely and helps me stop having cravings for certain things. After about a month or so of this I eat in moderation but I stay away from…

Ocean Spray has a light option for cranberry juice, i believe around 3g sugar. I also mainly use Almond Milk (unsweetened), gives it a nice flavor!

NO!!! A big NO! You are putting your body into starvation mode by eating too few calories. The whole reason why you aren't loosing weight is because your body thinks that "Hey, If I'm not getting enough food then I need to store as much as I can to reserve". Your body is in emergency mode, which can eventually lead to poor…

CONGRATULATIONS! Keep it up! I have personally been slacking... Over the past few months I start to loose weight and then slack off and start gaining it back almost immediately. I ALWAYS get to around 8-9 pounds and then the loosing slows WAY down. It frustrates me to the point of, "well I can try to get back on track in a…
