I really enjoy working out, which I never thought I would say before! I have lost around 50lbs, but recently stress and life stuff have been making it hard for me to control my eating. I have been having a rough time trying to stay on track, and would also like helpful suggestions on how to cope with stress so that I don't…

YES!

I came here to MFP today with an angry face and hurt in my heart. You have made me snap out of it and smarten up. Your story has helped me today, so from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU!! I am sorry about your loved one, but grateful that you turned it into a life lesson and have shared it with us. You are a super human!…

If it had enough water, it would just be called water :) Eat melon and drink water :)

Obviously you cannot count the water in fruit was water intake. You need a hell of a lot more water than what fruit can provide.

If it's short term, you *likely* will not put on any weight. Long term users gain, but it's not usually tons of weight. Best of luck!!

Your continued success the healthy way will one day make her realize that her short term extreme diet is not long term effective. Not that I hope she gains it back, but it's likely she will *probably* gain some after the diet stops.

I would eat them because i'm hungry. I would not eat them if I am not hungry. Food=fuel

Way to go, that's such a huge accomplishment! Keep up all the hard work lady!! :D

I'm from London Ontario :D Add me as a friend if you'd like!

I suggest the following brands: Avene, La Roch Posay

Seriously I hope you're joking. Obviously that is not healthy! :noway:

Hi! Good luck in your fitness journey! Add me as a friend if you'd like!

Like anything worth doing, it takes some time. DO NOT GIVE UP! You're not going to get anywhere at all if you stop trying. You CAN do it. I know you can! Just be VERY honest with yourself and your food diary, and hopefully things will start to move in the right direction. Don't forget muscle weighs more than fat, and if…

If I were you I WOULD say HOT!!! You're stunning!

AWESOME work!!! You look amazing!!

I totally buy the natural PB and dump out the oil. I know this makes for a drier tasting PB, but I still enjoy it. I just learned about PB2 today and am going to order some once they have it back in stock. Sounds amazing!!

That "peanut butter" sounds horrible. It's all fillers and no actual peanuts. Not worth it in my eyes! I did find today this product made of peanuts with much less fat : http://www.bellplantation.com/1883-jars.html I personally have tried cutting out carbs, but it's not reasonable at all, and no carbs will *usually* turn…

I would talk to your doctor about the headaches just in case it's related to something else. I would also make sure you're getting lots of water. As for the AMAZING spaghetti squash, I get mine year round at the grocery store, near the other squash and potatoes, etc. It's yellow and shaped kind of oval-like. There are…

Holy smokes, way to go to the both of you! Congratulations on your success!

You are amazing!! What a great loss!! I'm so happy when I see people with a lot to lose doing it the right way instead of immediately resorting to surgical intervention (obviously there is a time and a place for it). I'm REALLY impressed by your hard work!!

Good work!!! Keep it up and you will make your goal :D

Best. Thread. EVER.

I find the Android app very easy to use and crazy useful!!

I can definitely feel your pain! For one, I'm surprised to hear a man say these things. A lot of women usually forget that men can also have image issues too. Good for you for reaching out! I absolutely LOVE being in the water. Having said that, I rarely would ever go in a public pool or to the beach because of fear and…

haha, Yeah, feel free to send some money my way too :)
