thanks so much everyone now i feel like i can actually eat closer to what i would normally perhaps with my activity my consumption per day wont feel much different from what i was used to i wont give up working towards losing weight thats for sure

thanks so much for responding however my next question is how on earth do i even eat that much? do i just count calories up to 3200? everything i eat is low calorie and low fat and everything so i guess just watch my sodium, calories up to 3200 while working out at least 6 days a week with 1 day of rest? this is very…

I don't know what I will do personally when i get down to my goal weight. Will I try to lose more to fit better into my target BMI for my height or will I maintain? One thing I do know is that I will surely have a good cry if i reach my goals and find that it is more work than i find enjoyable. Right now I enjoy working…

Due to the uniqueness that is our bodies if there were a maximum caloric processing that occurred then it would be independently determined based on each individual. That is to say there would be a general "average" of course but no constant unchanging value Consider that people have different reactions to medications due…

I think you are better off personally girl. I would never allow myself again to be so consumed with the notion that my mate/partner needed me to be a certain way that I changed everything about myself only to then be heartbroken or left with just the pieces to pick up later. I have done it before and have matured to the…

i know its not sustainable long term which is why ive been working on it daily but it is a daily struggle and when i eat ANYTHING at all i have to fight the urge to exercise compulsively. it kind of bums me out but i remember that its a learning process not something i can get a handle on instantly thanks so much for the…

I managed to restrain myself like i need to and had 3 oz. Oven Roasted Low Sodium Turkey Breast 1/2 cup of dole peaches (drained AND rinsed) 1/2 cup of green giant english peas 1 Dinner Roll i am very proud that i portioned and we avoided getting the traditional easter ham lol

thanks for pointing that out to her. i had forgotten about the potential that it is water weight I keep forgetting to remind people that some weight gain is just water weight coming back through water retention in high sodium diets sometimes. hooray for pros

I totally agree with this ^ After all the site is called myfitnesspal for a reason we are all on here to better ourselves through physical fitness/healthy eating/ recovery etc You are far from pathetic and are to be commended for taking your first steps towards bettering your health and life so be happy and smile, you can…

23.4 is your BMI which sets you slightly high in the "normal" category but I have to agree with people here. Remember that it is about a balance. Maybe you are trying to lose a slight belly or muffin top but 1200 calories is not typically going to make you gain weight unless you are having binge and fasting periods.…

amen to that lol, when i first started back i could barely make it half a mile to a mile and now i push myself to do at LEAST 6 if not 7 or more and here i am now at over 13miles a day

A good way to go is set a short term goal and work up from there. I take disorder medications and gained weight, quit smoking and gained weight but when i started exercising i set the goal that i was going to use my stationary bike for a 15 minute period and no less. I started out doing 15 when i woke up and 15 before i…

its been a trial for me as well hun. i used to make myself eat only 200-300 calorie diets a day and now it barely seems to phase me to eat only 600-800. its been a step each day to try and get to a point in caloric intake where i dont place my body in starvation mode. my problems have always been that i will either binge…

so guilty there, but my reality check was when i no longer had clothes that i could fit in except shorts with an elastic waistband or jeans with a spandex waist. in popular culture many people see their waist size number as an assignment of self worth which i feel perpetuates the idea that the closer we are to 0 in pants…

I agree with you there, Phentermine as an appetite suppressant, when used as prescribed with a healthy diet of exercise and good eating habits can be a useful tool towards losing and maintaining a healthy weight. The major problem with the negative social stigmatization of this drug is that because of its similar effects…

9 Lbs lost so far on your ticker is a great accomplishment. I had a reality check from my primary care physician yesterday and I admit that i am obese (BMI = 40.1) so I am right there with you sister. Lets help eachother in working towards a healthier, better us. Ive managed to lose from 260 down to 255 so far but i came…

just hit the apps link and click the Ticker sub tab i believe

You have to remember that in the event of a zombie apocalypse look to the right and left of your desk, whatever is there will be your weapon for survival in the upcoming zombie apocalypse. There was this funny image on the interwebs talking about that and i realized that i just have a bunch of cans and hair bands and clips…

I would love to add you, if not for your smoothies but as motivation for you and myself towards a better us! I just went to the doctor yesterday and got a reality check on my BMI and weight as well as my blood sugar (ive been exercising for like 3 weeks now trying to lose some weight after gaining back when i quit smoking…
