Good question, I was brought up Catholic but haven't particularly followed the faith (that is go to confession, church or take communication) since I was about 17/18. I do remember the dates for the significant religious events, yesterday being Shrove (or pancake) Tuesday and today being Ash Wednesday. I will give it some…

Hey what? Really? Why not show us what educated research and what not else verifies this? Edited to add: Why do I feel that the OP has a ulterior motive in all her posts??? Second editing: Aahh it just clicked, thought the face was familar. OP use to post on another site I belong to...OP will test everyone's patience :) I…

Hi there, I too have been diagnosed with Sjogren's, mine is so far thought to be primary. Have they determined if yours is primary or secondary? No other auto-immune issues lurking? There is a reasonably good sjogren's message board (though I haven't been there in a while), I think its called Sjogren's World. There are…

That depends mainly on your height, weight and gender as well as activity levels. If you complete your profile here on MFP it will give you a daily allowance for weight loss. You will need to eat back all or some of any exercise calories from exercise undertaken as this has not been factored into the daily allowance

Don't let perfect be the enemy of good. Three pieces of pizza and 1000 extra calories doesn't make anyone a failure. It's a blimp, learn and move on. Change the way you think, if you tell yourself you are a failure your brain will believe you...start thinking positively.

This...how many calories and how are you splitting between meals and snacks?

I thought keto had a much higher percentage of fat intake than appears in that menu?

I have deleted parts of the post I am not commenting on :) Strudder you have made some good points there, I hadn't picked up the current weight and calorie allowance.

Hello and welcome too! You may want to try the baritastic app for WLS eatng initially, it caters for the much reduced calories earlier on.

How do you typically spread your calories out during the day? Are you getting a good balance of protein, goods fats and high fibre foods? If you use 700 or 800 calories at night time, a 1000calories during the day is plenty. It isn't just necessarily about the calories though its making sure you are eating food that will…

Hello and welcome!

Are you talking about dessert or sweets as in lollies, candies, toffees?

Is it basing it of the GPS or an estimate of your stride length x steps? If you stride length is significantly under or over the end result of distance will be too out significantly too. You can use the GPS via bluetooth pairing your mobile phone and fitbit. I found though that when I tried to use the fitbit flyer and…

Used panties? Happy to have had a lie in this morning and miss this one lol

Your body needs protein and good fats too. If you are gaining weight on 600 to 800 calories per day (which is no where near enough nutrition by the way) you either have a medical condition or massively underestimating how much you are eating).

It may not stop you from losing weight, but you do need minimum amounts of protein and fats too, make sure you fit some in.

Where I work (at a regional airport) its not so much the smokers (and I am not one) its the coffee drinkers. They go off to buy their coffee and can be gone up to 30 minutes at a time. I would say the non smokers can take just as many breaks as the smokers and be away from their desks just as much if not more. Me, I am not…

No making up by cutting your calories so drastically, it creates a cycle you don't want to be getting into.

For starters I think you need to be kinder to yourself and how you think. Being fat or overweight (whatever term is preferred) is not disgusting. I get that is how you feel, but if you keep telling yourself that, you will continue to feel disgusting. If you continually think you are going to gain weight you possibly will.…

How old were you when you weighed 98lb before? Going by your pictures you are already quite slim and don't have a lot of fat to lose. If it is genuinely about a healthier lifestyle you don't need to lose weight to do that? Perhaps you would be better placed to focus on body composition instead? What is your current body…

Could be just the initial water weight. How much did you lose the first week and then week two and three? Was there a big week one weight loss with weight loss decreasing in week two and three? If you are not using scales it is possible you are over estimating calories.

Sounds expensive. I foresee a lot of food wastage.

Great to get an update Trucker. Pleased to see its's going well for you and well done on the fat loss so far. If you have any specific bariatric questions I see the bariatricpal messageboards are quite active

Have you logged all your calories that you have eaten today? If you haven't, once you have the negative calories will possibly go depending how much exercise you have logged. MFP calorie allowance does not factor in exercise, so you will need to eat back some or all your exercise calories (if you can rely on them being…

How are you measuring the fat on stomach? Are you standing up or sitting down?

No no and no. Don't like coffee at all. The times I have accidentally picked up someone else's coffee cup and have had a mouthful of coffee or eaten a coffee lolly / chocolate, I may have never moved so quickly as to find a sink, rubbish bin or sink. Weird thing is I don't actually mind the smell of freshly ground coffee…

The MFP daily calorie allowance does not factor in exercise, therefore, when you log exercise it adds back the exercise calories for you to eat back. Issue is sometimes the exercise calories can be overstated.
