This gif makes me sad. :(

It's hard to believe that you have managed to convince yourself that the advice you gave the OP was actually GOOD advice... OP - ignore him. Please for the love of God do not follow his advice.

Please tell me you're joking...

There is no such thing as starvation mode as mentioned 4 other times PREVIOUSLY in this thread.

Yeah but only if they're organic and clean.

No. Stop. No. Just. Stop spreading misinformation.

OP posts thread asking about benefits of cleanses and how they work. OP receives responses advising against cleanses with backup and answers to her questions in original post. OP becomes hostile and then claims everyone in her life including pets have done cleanses. Responses continue to advise OP against cleanses. OP…

That depends - is your protein shake clean?

I use a lemon and mustard sauce for mine with baby or yellow potatoes. I'ts just wholegrain mustard, dijon mustard, honey, lemon juice, olive oil. To the potatoes and dressing I toss in some chopped parsley, chopped chives and lemon zest.

Yes it's impossible. Read the threads other poster's quoted above. Change your goals - and break your larger goal into smaller, more manageable ones. Sometimes it's harder to climb a mountain when it's presented as a few hills rather than just a large mountain.

Gotcha - I misread what you wrote. My bad. Anyway... the points I made previously (as well as the questions) still stand. Liftng's comment (quoted below) seems to be solid advice. I'm also going to echo Peach's concern regarding the rate at which you're losing. It seems dangerously fast.

You're not logging accurately. Simply for the fact that you estimated your takeout food at 600 calories - I guarantee you consumed more calories than you think you did. How are you tracking your food? Are you weighing everything you consume? Are you measuring liquids? Are you choosing accurate MFP entries when you log what…

Because this is MFP... and why we can't have nice things.

If OP doesn't have any health concerns in which she should limit carbs, and she's working it into her daily goals, why not? You go OP, you eat your cereal and you enjoy the hell out of it. But do you know who doesn't want to eat cereal? Ryan Gosling.

Trying to quit drinking or alcoholism? That's apples and oranges....

For me, one birthday isn't going to derail my progress. Sure someone might have made a cake... that doesn't mean I need to eat the whole thing. I'll have a small slice and usually that's good. As for a spouse making your favorite food? That's wonderful and a really sweet thing to do. My boyfriend knows my goals and what I…

Welcome, kristi! Congrats on your weight loss thus far - there are a few groups for those suffering from PCOS :) Good luck!!

Ran my first REAL 5k this weekend (have done run/walks with friends and Virtual Runs). Ran it solo and despite the heat and humidity, managed to PR. Crossing the finish line felt so unbelievably amazing that I'm now looking to sign up for another one to do between now and when I have my next scheduled race at the end of…

Exactly this. OP, as long as your husband is being supportive and not shoving the food down your throat or insisting you eat the foods you are looking to avoid, what is the problem? There will always be situations where you need to choose between going along with your plan, or indulging and eating foods you would consider…

I think OP deleted his profile...

As I am currently enjoying pizza, I'm going to go ahead and say no... no I am not participating. Also... Carbs are your friend....not your enemy. Why nix carbs? (ETA: granted if you have a medical condition where carbs could potentially screw up yo bidnuz, you might want to ignore me...)

Please don't spread misinformation. Just like psulemon said, Sugar is not more addictive than cocaine.. spreading ignorance is counterproductive. Additionally, there is no need for a detox. So long as you have functioning organs, your body will naturally cleanse itself. Detoxes are pointless and a waste of time and money.…

What is this, ice cream for ants?

Depressing and demotivating because they're giving you honest advice? Why would you want to waste your time with something that isn't necessarily effective or that doesn't make sense? From what I'm reading, people are posing thoughtful questions and are providing resources for you in the hopes of being helpful. Restrictive…

I have no idea what diet you're following, but it sounds horribly restricting. Do you have a medical condition that would necessitate the cutting out of fruit, bread, pasta, etc.? Do you work those back in? How do you work those items back in? Also, while you're on this phase, what is your calorie intake? If your goal is…
