I`m really sorry I ever opened my diary. I was asking for motivational help. Many of your sarcastic comments about quick adds, as if your sure I can not be correct in the calorie count by reading labels and just not bothering to search the food name. You do realize they print calories on labels no? I am looking for…

I am confused. It seems you say you agree with Common Core.... Then you say you have never heard of it. I don't know much about Common Core; I have been homeschooling for 13 years and have no need to keep up with what new thing the public schools are doing this year (as it seems to change every few years). I thought it had…

Aren`t we sitting here behind a computer for most of the day? And I might add, the idea of a common core, common ground with all of humanity is ideal. We are all human beings and should learn that our humanity transcends country, creed, race, and any divisor we choose to put on ourselves. Let`s find out exactly what common…

I also want to thank you Sherry for commenting. It seems you are the only teacher to comment so far. I teach (ESL) in Japan. I am very passionate about it. It takes a lot of time and effort and interest to be a professional. Getting paid to teach drives me to work even harder. I am not good at math at all. I can`t imagine…

I am very curious as to what she did, and how this punishment will benefit her. Could you elaborate?

Of course, I am fascinated with this too. I am an American raising kids in the Japanese public school system. From a lot of posts on here, seems like fear , of being indoctrinated, of medical issues, of bad teachers, too conservative, too liberal. and such are the driving forces for a lot of homeschoolers. Sounds like…

Indoctrinated into what? The cult of personality?

Seems like that would be the other students and not the teachers or school teaching low moral standards. I am sure the teachers and the school policy are doing their best to teach good morals and patience to students.

seriously, I was hung up for 3 years on here. I fell for every fad. I never lost weight! Now I finally am. How am I doing it? By creating a caloric deficit. IF only I had never looked at the forums. If only I wasn`t so naive! If only I hadn`t researced weight loss looking for the easy way out. You mean I can do any…

Sassie!!!! Yo, shoutout! That is like, totally awesome dude! I love Pour Some Sugar on Me. It is soooo fun to dance. Why are we getting away from the things that we love by being told heavy lifting or strength training. Of course you are heavy lifting whenever you squat down and lift your entire body back up. Incorporate…

thank you for saying so. Can I add balance in everything????

Ha ha must be a smokers problem as you repeated it twice. If smoking isn`t messing with your metabolism it`s messing with your brain. Just a joke! Why do you smoke so much? (recreation?, illness?) Maybe you don`t have any responsibilities? How can you have time to smoke 10 a day? Think about what all that tar is doing to…

on average I may lose like .1 lb a week. I have never seen a real loss of 1 lb a week. Valid weigh ins only. Time to lower those calories.

Thanks for this a good wake up call for me. Too bad so many are so mean sounding and negative about it. Then again so many are supportive and nice about it. Represents the general population. There are a lot of people you wouldn`t spend time with in the world because of their attitudes. Are they the same on line? Or worse?…

Yup, Having the hardest time finding a level I lose at. Working on being consistent with exercise should help. I eat too much, and I exercise too much.

Gosh, this is awesome. I haven`t lost at all in 3 years of trying every fad diet that`s come out on here. I have not found my true TDEE . Lose 5 lbs one week, gain it back the next, I gained 5 kg on MFP. Could I really lose just walking and staying under my limit? I`ve been at a modest cut for almost 3 weeks, not lost yet…

Thanks for all the support! I was surprised. I didn`t think I`d get much of it. I believe I was more of a yo yo er. I had one VlCd over 3 years ago. Since then I just gained weight. I stayed active throughout. Just ate a little too much. I noticed my weight gain was 3 kg up one week, 2 kg up the next then stable then up 1…

bump to read later. I have no advice. Haven`t lost a pound yet.

I love the idea of Haes and am an avid follower of the blog posts about it. Unfortunately I am already ****ed up and hate my body. I don`t know how to let go of the bad feelings associated with my weight and it is making me really sad. How wonderful that you don`t feel that way.

This!!

Your kidding right? It looks like a positively perfect eating day. YOu said you know your portions. If so, your eating is definitly not the problem. Most people eat worse than that on a diet. Your doing better than fine and probably need to eat more.

I did it. I lost 50 lbs in 3 months. 2 rounds. I also lost 30 lbs of lean body mass along with the fat. I was tired even climbing up the stairs at the end. I looked good for about 2 months, which I kept up by doing steak days. ( eating nothing all day and then eating a steak. ) I gained back about 30 lbs in 6 months after…

NSV- My body is thanking me for eating more food! My sex drive is back. It`s almost a problem with the kids around all the time. Sigh. My hair is nicer. It`s not kinky and dry it`s been smooth and pretty for a week or so now. Why? More food. I`m not reacting to things that happen to me with mistrust and anger. A completely…

Havent we all! Be my friend, I eat a lot more than anyone (although I am not always logging. ) I check in most days but don`t log my food right now. My calorie goal will be shocking! That ought to make you feel comfortable in the group for now. Cheers! and welcome. It`s a good group and your body will thank you.

I really think from most opinions that have been shared on the subject that the body media fit tends to be spot on or to slightly underestimate a persons burn. I grossly underestimated my burn for three years. Lost no fat in that time either. I used the fit bit type calorie measure. I never ate back my exercise calories. I…

Wow! So more than happy for you. You never have to feel that way again. Your story made me breathe hard and want to cry. Please share this on more than MFP. Maybe Huffington Post. The way you described your feelings was terribly eloquent. More People need to hear this.

I`m really high, doing metabolism reset for the second time. I eat around 2400 to 2500 a day. Have yet to lose weight at any calorie level. 3 years on MFP undereating and overexercising. Quite the dunce to take so long to get it? Wait have I got it yet? ? My fitbit type omron calorie meter says I burn anywhere from 2500 to…

EMTWL There is a group on here. I went through a lot, plateaued a lot. Seems like there really is only one way to live at a healthy weight. Sometimes we go about it all wrong. We can get back to where we are supposed to be. There really isn`t any one special thing about those oats and blueberry people. You are one of them.…

Because it is a stupid rule!!!

Tried 5 2 as I have tried lots of other diets. didn`t work for me. Yet that could be because of my low lbm because I did HCG a few years ago. If your not eating enough to sustain your daily activities, every day, you wont be losing just fat and a year or two down the road, find yourself. like me, being lighter, but looking…
