Hi Nick, Firstly, welcome to the community. Secondly, relax. Weight loss is stressful enough, no need to stress yourself over the website - there are plenty of people here to help you. (: You pretty much track everything. When you put in your information on the website - unless you set your own custom goals - it gives you…

Welcome back! Hope you meet your goal! (:

I would consult with your doctor before making any decisions, just to be on the safe side. I'm not sure about losing weight, but you should be able to at least maintain weight while pregnant. & more importantly, congratulations! :D

Welcome! I just joined the community recently as well, about a week ago, and it has been a great help. MFP is an awesome site. I'm also a college student, going on my fourth year. Best of luck reaching your goals! :D

Welcome to the community! Best of luck reaching your goals!

Welcome Back! (:

Welcome back to the community! Good for you for taking the initiative to return - forget about those jerks who poke fun, they're just insecure themselves! Best of luck reaching your goal! You can do it!

Good for your for getting the courage to introduce yourself! And congrats on the 9lbs! Best of luck reaching your goal! (:

Hi Nadine, welcome to the community! Firstly, I love your name! Secondly, I just started recently as well and have just about the same goal (I'm 5'3" and 141lbs) wanting to reach 115lbs! You can do it! Best of luck to ya! (:

Welcome back and congrats on your beautiful baby boy! Best of luck reaching your goals; you can do it! (:

Thank you to all of you who read my ridiculously long post - it means a lot to me that there are so many kind people willing to help others, especially helpless newbies like me! :P & thank you for the well wishes, warm welcomes, and awesome advice. You're all great people; I hope each of you reaches your goal! (: Now for…

Thanks Stardust! I was equally surprised! I currently work at Potbelly and I had a sandwich the other night and could not believe how many calories it was when I logged it! Checking nutritional info for menus is definitely a great idea to do before going out somewhere to eat - thanks for the advice! Best of luck with your…

Ahh, good to know! (See, I'm learning already!) Thank you. (:

Probably not. Most of the doctors at the health center here are quacks, with the exception of my primary care doctor who took me forever to find. Thanks for your input.

Essentially, yes. The Gastro doc basically told me that my body does not digest food at a normal rate, but slower. I used to eat big meals all the time, and only once or twice a day, but he said it wasn't a good for my body. Though, the nutritionist didn't know about my condition yet recommended it anyways, not sure what…

Yes, I'm from Illinois. And they are a nutritionist that is provided for free through U of I. I don't know too much about the person. I originally went to learn about vegetarianism mainly, and slightly about weight loss, but she was more concerned with my lack of eating. I also have had my gastroenterologist tell me 5-6…

I'm not sure about the calorie intake, since I'm new as well (MFP said I can only have 1200 a day -_-), but I'm also in starvation mode. I wasn't finding time to eat throughout the day properly, so I would only eat once or twice a day in large portions - which is not good for you. According to my nutritionist, you need to…

Welcome to the community! I hope you reach your goals! (:

Hi Emmalee! Welcome to MFP; I hope you find the community to be very helpful. (: Congratulations on your engagement, that is incredibly exciting! I recently just saw a nutritionist for the first time as well, being at my highest weight in my lifetime, and realized it was time to make some healthy lifestyle changes. So I'm…

Welcome to the community! Weight loss is certainly difficult, especially when your emotions are involved, but keep a positive outlook - you can do anything you set your mind to! Best of luck reaching your goal. (:

Welcome to the community! Best of luck with your goals! (:

Hi Katie! Welcome to the online community, good luck with your goal! :)

Good luck on your goal! Hopefully you find the online community to be helpful & encouraging! (:

Like some of the others, for me the root of my weight issue has been due to a lack of time - or rather, time management skills - to live a healthy lifestyle. Since I was 16 years old I have been working two jobs and going to school full-time. At one point, I was working 60-80 hours a week, while having 18 hours of college…
