your doctors frequently tell you to lose weight, because your BMI is pointing to obesity ??? Most medical professionals do apply some common sense with these sort of things and like it or not, if they have an obese individual sitting in front of them, pointing to the persons BMI to illustrate their weight problem is a…

I don't even know where to start ... you are not a fat whale especially at your weight ... if he were any sort of a friend he'd care for you regardless of weight, no really, who is friends with someone, because of their weight ... think about it imagine your sister/child/ close female friend would come to you and say what…

yep, me too. The last cholesterol crusader on here suggested it'll get better if I just lose some weight, cause clearly 110 lbs isn't thin enough.

really, a cop out? http://www.health.harvard.edu/fhg/updates/When-high-cholesterol-is-a-family-affair.shtml I'd like you to show me your evidence that it's a cop out and that if I just stop eating processed carbs it'll all get better.

YOU ARE WRONG WRONG WRONG - chickpeas are the answer to everything, why won't you just believe me, why ohh why :drinker:

diabetes cares about visceral fat, how it got there is irrelevant. It is somewhat smug to assume your fat is better than the next persons, but everyone has these things about them. You can continue creating masterpieces with as much cream and butter as you can, but that just means you can eat less of it. Alternatively you…

I tend to cut it up and freeze it in portions that I then use for pizza or omelettes

the thing is that even if you have enough calories 'saved' for the alcohol, it's hard to hit all your marcos on your reduced calories

she said she's around 90

eat at a deficit and start fidgeting whilst gaming ...

the thing is 800 calories is really very little and the reason I asked about net calories is because with all that running and other aerobic exercise that looks like at least 400 cals a day or maybe more. I get that those conditions mentioned affect the metabolism, so you then have far less room for error. If she averaged…

so you were averaging 800 calories a day with running 25 miles a week and did insanity and didn't lose any weight ... are you sure? Is that net calories?

one step at the time ... so have the baby and recover ... get the breast feeding established ... see how the baby sleeps and what you end up sleeping By all means eat healthily and do some gentle exercise when you doctor gives you the all clear, but don't heap too much on yourself right away. As you recover and the baby…

before you all throw your large bras out, do check out whether there are charities in your country where you can send your bras to and they send them to women in the 3rd world that can't afford bras at all. I sent all my maternity bras to a charity here in Australia that send them on to the Solomon Islands and Fiji, but…

2 things: I have been seeing a lot of cups and pieces in your diary, but it is more accurate to log by weight. Do you log everything that goes into your mouth? Also have you had a diet break / refeed in the time you have dieted? By diet break I mean several weeks eating at maintenance or more. Considering how long you have…

squished squash??? How is that adding any meaningful calories to her diet. The dr. will want her to eat at least 500 cals more, so if the kids likes mac and cheese, she needs to add extra cheese or butter. OP: The thing is if your child had an allergy you wouldn't think about feeding each child the same and I think the…

You can stop preaching your particular diet to me. You are reading things in my post that I didn't write. I didn't say anything about blaming saturated fat, in fact I know it's not to blame in my case, because due to a digestive problem where I can't digest animal protein and a nut allergy, I don't actually have a lot of…

According to your ticker you want to lose 278.2lbs and are starting on 1200 net??? Why?

yeah, it's being produced by my body, but that doesn't make it 'not bad'. One 'nurse' said in a previous post that high blood cholesterol is not bad for you, because it is produced by your body. Yes, my body is producing too much, but that doesn't make it 'good', it still ups my chances of an early heart attack which…

you are probably better researching this one by yourself, because I have highish cholesterol genetically and the amount of misinformation that gets throw around here on this topic is beyond belief. The best one was from an alleged nurse who said 'it's produced by the body so it can't be bad', I mean so is cancer yet, I…

just diet for now and you know what once you have lost some weight, you might find that you have more energy and thus time to work out. In fact all these people that throw themselves into the diet/workout thing to the point of 'I am getting up at 4am to exercise, so if I can do it so can you' or 'I am working 4 jobs and…

I wouldn't to be honest. Call it a re-feed and start anew :-)

I have given up negativity. I will speak kindly about my body and positively about life :flowerforyou:

you exercised twice yesterday, so chances are your body is holding on to extra water in order to repair your muscles

MFP expects you to log your exercise and then eat those calories back. I suspect also that for scoobie you didn't put yourself as sedentary either. In the end though you pick one calorie allowance and try it for 4-6 weeks and then see what you lost on average and go from there. To lose 2lbs a week you have a daily deficit…

so you ate very little and lost weight, then you upped it and gained. You are now at 115lbs. Is that the weight the you ended up with after you 'gained a lot'? In which case, it could quite well be that your metabolism is not working like it would for other people since other ED suffers have reported similar issues. It…

Part of it is making yourself and realising it is not the end of the world. Your fears do not rule you. Do see your GP, but also try to work on it yourself. Buy one different food each week and try it at least 5 times prepared in a different way. Chose foods that are somewhat similar to the ones you are eating now: for…

I think I agree with you. If you have already identified it as an issue then absolutely stop logging and weighing. I haven't had an eating disorder so I can't say wether this website is a good tool for that. I personally have noticed that I sometimes get very obsessive about calorie counting and logging (it might be a time…

I think the key to weight loss with IBS is finding your triggers. I did the low FODMAP diet for 2 years, but it didn't solve all my issues. I actually found out by accident that I can't digest meat properly and within 2 weeks of cutting out all meat and fish and limit my dairy and egg intake, all the symptoms disappeared…

my mother was of the opinion that she could always lose 10lbs and subsequently she was never happy with her body. As she gained weight with the time (she was always yoyo dieting) she became hated it more and more, but nevertheless the weight kept piling on. I don't want to live like this. I watch what I eat (less stringent…
