My curvy figure. I maintained the same figure I had before, it's just a healthy weight now. I have gorgeous hips!

Nope! Sounds icky. :sick: I prefer muffins and raisin bread!

This. Exactly. People try all sorts of restrictive diets that reduce or eliminate certain foods/food groups. The only reason they have success is because they're reducing their calories. If you like sugar so much, it may be simpler and more sustainable for you to work on limiting overall calories while still allowing…

Any water that you get form any source will be treated the exact same way by your body. You get water from fruits and veggies, drinks with sugar, diet drinks, tea, coffee, and just plain ol' water. If your pee is pale yellow, you're getting plenty of water. The source doesn't matter as long as you're logging anything with…

Cook some lean ground beef in a round pie dish and top it like you would a pizza: sauce, cheese, toppings. Super yummy!

Absolutely not! Most of my calories come from carbs. Check out my diary. Look at my tracker; I'm only 8lbs away from my goal. I started MFP when I weighed 196lbs back in November and now I weigh under 145. I not only eat carbs, but I eat carbs from SUGAR. REAL SUGAR!! I haven't given up ice cream or Reese's Cups or sugar…

I'm just planning on gaining a pound or so from Halloween candy and drinks that weekend.

It doesn't matter when you eat, it matters how much you eat. I can eat 2000 calories in one meal every day and I would still be losing weight at the same rate I have been by eating 3-4 smaller meals and a snack or two or three.

Quarter them, dice up an apple, rub a Tbsp of olive oil on them,cover in 1/4c of brown sugar and bake at 350 for about 20min.

I'm also confused. I fit fast food into my diet on occasion and I'm a very healthy person. If there was no strike, I would continue to do the same. There are plenty of people who need jobs and will be willing to fill the slots of those who are on strike. Without a union or something, the workers are simply breaking their…

We definitely understand what you're talking about without having to read the book. Previous posters just tried to explain that if you're not in a caloric deficit overall, on average, then you still won't lose weight. If I eat 10,000 calories on my feast days and only 500 on my fast days, I will be eating well over 30,000…

I do not! I did buy a dress that was a size too small and on clearance-super-ultra-sale because I knew I would never get the chance to buy it otherwise. It fits me now!! And. . . I'll be buying the Sims4 just because. To deprive onself of the newest method of simming is pure crazy. You're a very brave person and that is…

I don't want to log forever, but that require training myself to recognize healthy portions. I'm giving myself fewer days where I plan ahead and more days where I estimate and log everything at the end of the night. Once I reach my goal weight, I will probably start to focus on mostly logging at the end of the day. Once…

Personally, I think it's important to show your children that a commitment is a commitment. How you handle situations now has a huge impact on the values your child holds into their adult life. I would make my child go.

I just count calories. I add no exercise. I stick pretty close to my goals most days and I occasionally enjoy more food than my goal "allows." If you eat less than your body needs, you will lose weight regardless of the foods you eat, the time you eat them, how many hours of sleep you get each night, or the altitude you…

Keep an eye on your weighed portions that you've been eating and try to estimate a similar amount of food. If anything seems calorie dense, eat a smaller portion. Say "No thanks, I'm pretty full" if you're offered what appears to be a high-calorie dessert. Get up and go for a walk before everybody else wakes up and just…

Hello! I've lost over 50lbs since October. I'm convinced I have a lot of good advice. I like to help people manage their weight loss with realistic goals and education about nutrition. I hate trendy news articles that boast this diet or that diet works the best. I'm quite a fan of science based, tried-and-true methods.…

Losing MORE weight won't solve the "skinny-fat" issue you're having. You'll need to incorporate more protein into your diet and start a lifting regime to build some muscle. You will have to gain some weight in the form of muscle, then go ahead and lose a few more pounds to get rid of some fat if you're still unsatisfied…

Bread product like an english muffin with peanut butter and some kind of protein drink. I work hard and if I don't get a good portion of fat and protein along with my morning carbs, I'm starving an hour and a half before my lunch break.

I think I may have looked at all of them. What's you're point? Be blunt and say what you mean or say nothing. Implying something vague gets you nowhere.
-
Often times people reach their goal weight but are unsatisfied with their body composition. The term "skinny-fat" is often used to describe what I'm talking about. Maybe somebody only weighs 120 and they're 5'3", but they have minimal muscle, therefor much of their weight is still from fat. Have you considered doing some…

Track your calories and see what you're eating for a couple of weeks. Then eat more. The more you eat, the more you weigh and the less you eat, the less you weigh. If you want to gain some weight, eat some more. Add butter and olive oil to your cooking and have an extra bowl of ice cream here and there.
-
How much are you eating? If you're genuinely feeling hungry to the point of your stomach hurting. . . you need to be eating more. If you're actually hungry and not just bored, grab a small snack to hold you over until your next meal.

I agree. Leaving the situation without giving her what she wants and consistently doing so will cause her tantrum stage to last as short a time as possible. Make sure her other caregivers (babysitter, grandparents, etc.) are handling it in the same way you do. Consistency is key for improving unwanted behaviors. When we…

LOL!!! These things would NOT fit on my counter space. I'm sooo jealous of your kitchen counter space. I have a microwave with a toaster oven stacked on top of it and I've got my trusty coffee maker! That's about it. Any more and I would lose my meal-prep counter. The only thing I don't love about my apartment is the…

Some antidepressants cause an increase in appetite and many people who have no appetite while depressed suddenly find themselves ravenously hungry once they begin to medicate their depression. This is the reason people think antidepressants cause weight gain. The medication itself will not cause you to pack on the pounds,…

That sounds like a pretty significant percentage. Awesome job. :)

Looks good! Congratulations! I'd be inclined to say that you didn't build muscle while losing weight since anabolism and catabolism cannot physically coexist simultaneously but that your training allowed you to maintain your muscle as you lost 3lbs of fat which resulted in the very noticeable difference in your body…

^^Yep! Your kidneys and liver detox your body 'round the clock. Depriving yourself of all foods for a period of time has no real benefits. Feed your body. Track your calories and macronutrients.
