If you don't mind eating brand food and not, made in a blender or whatever from scratch at your house food: Nature Valley Protein Bars Quaker Oat Bars They're filling (especially if you eat them while drinking water) and taste nice. If you're okay with diary: Greek yogurt Cheeses I also like raw almonds, seaweed peanuts…

Hmm, I would talk to him about your feelings. People can grow apart from incompatible schedules, when they just don't have time for each other anymore. If that's how you feel, you should let him know.

I read down to 10: 10. Realize that whatever you do NOW to lose the weight HAS TO be something you can do LONG TERM or it will never last. But you lost me at 3, sorry, 10 negates everything else. 10 is the only one that matters.

Engrish translation In A.D. 2101 War was beginning. Captain: What happen? Mechanic: Somebody set up us the bomb. Operator: We get signal. Captain: What ! Operator: Main screen turn on.

A lot of people who do walking for exercise or walk their dogs, will carry a stick or a cane with them in case of strays. I guess it'd be a good idea not to run if you're being chased by a dog if that triggers their instinct. Lewandt suggested slowing down, staying calm, and being firm, that'd probably be a really good…

Oh god, it's the magic water diet. There is no magic water. You are not full of toxic waste. You do not need to cleanse your toxic body. I highly suspect that you're a troll trying to start a drama thread. Well one good troll deserves another: You're welcome!

I mix the vegetables in my meal and then I can eat 2 or 3 servings of vegetables at a time. I really like SOME vegetables, but I do not like to just eat a bowl or plate of plain vegetables. :\

It's fantastic that you are so active! You're probably already helping yourself in so many ways, so keep that up! I don't know if it'll stop your sugar cravings, but if that's where your weakness is, it might help. Good luck and it will definitely help with insulin resistance and stabilize blood sugars. Just brace you're…

I take Metforim morning and night. I have PCOS. It helps me with my insulin resistance, controls blood sugar spikes without causing hypoglycemia, helps with cholesterol (a little bit), and helps me ovulate on time every month. However, I do not think it, by itself, helps me lose weight. if I eat my TDEE every day, I will…

Okay my best advice is this: If you're BRAND NEW and you don't want to recalculate and recustomize your TDEE - 20% goal every 5 pounds lost, just choose something simple and go with MFP. Start with the MFP at 1 pound per week (you'll lose more at first anyway so it's no big deal). Then eat that recommended amount of…

Well, that is hard! My S.O. has a highly active job, which has him on his feet non-stop. I'd never expect him to eat like I do. He needs to eat whatever he feels like eating because he has a huge caloric burn, and although he eats quick, his appetite isn't that big. I think for couples who are dieting together, I'd just…

I think the way you explained it makes sense. Save up some calories when you know you want to have something that is calorie dense. I do not believe in deprivation or removing foods you enjoy from your diet. I do believe in planning ahead and/or compensating for calorie dense food choices. But, I would caveat and say 'free…

(Avoiding philosophy for now just answering OP): I own two Playgirl magazines because they had pictures of a singer I really liked, the lead singer from Type O Negative - Peter Steele was in two of their magazines. So, I bought them both off ebay. So, I guess the answer is yes, but would I buy them for a non-famous…
-
Well most of that makes sense and is pretty well known. I was like whoa whoa whoa no fruit or veggies in the fridge?! Some stuff has to be left out of the fridge, bananas, potatos, onions, lemons, that's fine. But, I think it really depends on where you live a lot of times, too. If you live in a mild climate, eggs might be…

OP - I'm Obese, have PCOS, lightly activity from my job as well, and I'm losing weight eating, on average, 1800-2k calories per day. I have my setting at 1 lb per week which is approximately my tdee -20% as well. You could be losing weight eating 2.2k calories per day, based on your current info. Don't be afraid of eating…

Pizza USED to be a major source of bloat for me, but I'd eat 2 or 3 meals of pizza every day till the 2 or 3 pizzas I ordered for the special or sale price or whatever were gone. So, multiple meals of pizza every day (usually 2 or 3 slices per meal for a large or 3 or 4 slices for a medium pizza) for consecutive days and I…

First, I wish I had talked to my doctor sooner about my progressive feminine problems. It could have gotten my PCOS diagnosed before my weight got out of control. Next, I wish I had known when I started losing weight from my HW (before I ever joined MFP) how easy food logging could be with the right tools and a great big…

Usually it's something like: I like what you said in this post or in your profile. That is pretty much how I've asked people to add me and or been asked to add them.

Ah! Thank you for that link.

I can have one or two drinks a New Year's Eve party and be set for the entire evening. An alcoholic will use the holiday as an excuse for a major bender and cannot stop themselves once they get started. Addictions are real. I'm glad it hasn't happened to you. I'm glad I never got hooked on drugs like some of my friends…

Wow that girl is a bully and her little snippy friends are too. I think you should report their harassment to the management at your gym. I'm not kidding. You're probably not their first target. You're an adult. You're paying to be there and you have the right to sweat when you work out! And they have no right to harass…

*Runs around chanting: You're not eating enough! You're not eating enough!* Really, it's about BMR - Basal Metabolic Rate, you need to eat more than that, and that includes your activity. Soooooooooooooo many people set themselves as 'sedentary' when they're really lightly active. But even sedentary is 1.2x your BMR. Then…

Other posters already hit the nail on the head. If you don't want the food, say no to it. You're the one who has to deal with the after effects of the sodium and feeling bloated or nauseated later. I know people want to be able to celebrate and eat what they want, I get it, but if it's going to make you feel gross, don't.…

Hi TOM! When do you like to exercise?!

I TOTALLY get what you're saying Mokey, but she already has the lapband thingie installed. She's just getting some appliance adjustment stuff. I mean if it's already in there . . . ya know? But, I get you, I rather just eat 500 calories less a day and boogie on. Different strokes . . . s'all good.

Instead of letting sodium make you p.o.'d. Drink a lot of water on heavy sodium days so you can get it out of you that very same way. Once you give yourself a couples days of 10 cups of water and 2500 sodium or less, it'll evacuate and that bloat weight will go. The only thing that's WEIRD that I learned over the last few…

I agree with everyone who says it sounds like reflux. Talk to your doctor about it. I take the OTC prevacid or the generic version of the same medicine, and it really, really helped! My reflux was terribad before, and yes even water would bother me. Just remember, doctors need to know everything you take, including otc…

I try not to call food dirty names. Junk food is something past expiration that gets thrown in the garbage or something that does not taste good and you throw it away. Everything else is just food.

Well, holy snicker doodles: I looked up the liquid diet and liver shrink think to see if it was hinky or not and I stumbled upon this: http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/vsg/4315534/Pre-op-liquid-diet-to-shrink-liver/ - Check out cabcab in particular who ate food once at work and the day before her actual surgery and still…

From my HW, I'm down 59 lbs and I've definitely lost some fullness. But I had to go up band size so much as my weight increased, at a 42 now. I know when I can get the band size back down to 38 or 36 again, I'll probably fit a C comfortably. Right now it's all the 'between' stuff, not quite this but that's too tight stuff.…
