When describing food you say you eat "tons", how could you on that few calories, your perception is off. Seek some help, everyone can use that once in a while, no need to be embarrassed.

Laxatives will make you lose vital nutrients and put you into an electrolyte imbalance. Contrary to popular belief taking laxatives does not cause your body to NOT absorb calories. There is a MINIMAL of non absorption and the weight loss you may see on the scale will soon change. Taking laxatives on a regular basis will…

6 oz chobani or Fage greek yogurt is only 7 gms

I think its the same reason people dont say "wow, I see your putting on the lbs.". Some people find it impolite to mention someones weight. Especially amongst females. It just seems so personal. I personally would beam from ear to ear to hear that someone, anyone actually, lol, noticed my weight loss!

I think in a pinch they are ok, real food better. It is still better than nothing or a piece of toast. It has some protein which you need for appetite control. Try to see the amount of sugar in it, carbs ok from milk sugars but added sugar is what I am referring to. Good luck in your trek to lose the extra weight, we have…

IMHO I would stay clear of the soda. I know some people are saying to increase calories with juice, beer, etc. but this is all sugar and will make you go right back to where you don't want to be. I agree that perhaps "drinking some calories" may be a good option but make it healthy. If you simply don't have the time or…

When in comes to food like this you can never tell. It would depend on how much fat, oil, sugar is added to the sauce. Not to mention tons of oil in the fries, a very unbalanced and carby meal to say the least. If you eat that you may as well not even try to guess at the calories it is impossible without knowing how much…

I also agree with SOra4ever

I agree with Kynsie2!!

Some people post baby, tend to lose weight, metabolism speeds up and breast feeding sucks the calories right out of you. I dont think that at your height and weight that it is so bad to be thin. Dont listen to the nay sayers, if you feel comfortable at that weight dont push yourself to gain because of what others say. When…

Oh do I know that feeling. We are all in the same boat. I found that going off my "plan" of eating has led me astray and resulted in some serious weight gain. I realized my problem wasnt going astray, we are all human, it happens. We pig out on something we know we shouldnt. Now I say SO WHAT!!! It doesnt mean I have to…

It's great for detoxing and dropping a few lbs. I think we can do anything for a week but I wouldnt stay on it. I have tried this and it wasnt bad, its healthier than some of these people saying it is no good and then their food diaries are so restrictive I have to laugh. I say go for it for a week if it helps you drop a…

YUM!

I am with you...I do 5 lbs at a time. I too have lots of lbs to lose but I can pychologically look at that, I love your ticker. Good idea to set it at 10!:smile:

add me please, looking for friends to keep me motivated!

Add me, I want to give and get inspiration to those who are serious only. :smile:

I too am looking for friends to support me. I have very few at this point. I need encouragement, this is hard!

I feel terrible that so many people on here are so critical, her heart was in the right place folks. Someone's delish dish may not be your fav, but come on, where is the support. She deleted herself now. I hope she comes back! We can all be very fragile about our eating habits and weight. :frown:

Hi 100tolose, I feel your pain. I too am 5 foot 7 and over 200. It isnt easy but I find that my strategy lately is to look at this in small pieces. If you tell yourself you have X amount of pounds to lose you will just become discouraged as it seems so far away. All we have is time. I used to say wow it will take me 12…

I am struggling and need supportive friends that dont judge.
