if the medication is necessary then don't stop taking it. Quality of life and feeling good is important, right?! I would eat the same until you know how your body is going to react to the meds weight wise and if you see it creeping up on the scale made modest changes until you can balance the difference. I have low…

"Every time you eat or drink you are either feeding the disease or fighting it." I think about that everytime I think about what I want to eat. "You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step." when I don't want to work out, or feeling down about my ability.

I worked long 12 hours a day at my job so it was whatever food place was around. Mainly McDonalds, Subway, and Thai Place. I would keep bags of candy and chocolate bars at my desk for energy when I would get tired and run down (daily). And I drank a lot of black tea with 3 teaspoons of sugar and a bit of milk (like 8 mugs…

If I eat rice my belly will swell up, get very inflamed, and I will show weight gain. It will take a couple days for the weight to fall off. Could you be eating foods that irritate your system because that will show weight gain when its just irritated. Also, it takes about 3 days for my body to adjust my weight because of…

Personally, I can relate to not liking the taste of water....for the longest time. But that was because it is bland compared to pop, juice, smoothies, tea, and coffee. I had to cut that stuff all out and reset my taste buds. I now can enjoy a glass of water or herbal tea not loaded with sugar or sweetener. It is a choice…

I went to Iron Man in 2009 and these people are the fittest of the fit! They were all shapes and sizes. Small, large, thin, muscular, and chubby. A lot of these people trained for a year before competing. Just because they are not tiny skinny does not mean they are not fit. The outside of the package does not tell the…

I found when I started running I was embarrassed that I went so slow. But don't forget everyone who runs started slow. Many started with extra weight as well. They will relate to you more than they will judge.

You can do this. I believe in you! I am 5'0 and being short comes with its own disadvantages. But I think you will overcome again.

I agree Frank's and Sriracha are both delicious!

If you are not losing weight then try changing what you do. Cut out the workout for a week. Look at the ingredients of what you are eating. Try cutting different foods out. For me it was removing added sugar. I have a friend that lost weight after removing dairy from her diet. I think if you are only gaining then your body…

I am dairy free. I use almond milk for things like tea, cereal, or shakes. I try to stay away from all soy products as I believe they are really bad for us to ingest due to 99% of soy products are GMO. I am not a fan of the taste of rice milk. I have for the most part removed dairy as opposed to replace it with something…

bring both. a beach vacation you will need as many bathing suites as possible so you don't have to put a wet one back on. Whatever you are wearing just wear it with a smile and own it. Some will love what they see and who cares what the others think! Have a great time!

In my opinion one should not try to exercise off the extra eating they have done. If you are eating bad you are eating a lot calories. Work out machines and MFP give generous amounts of calories burn counts but it is not relevant how the body works for women. Exercise builds he muscle and will change the shape of your…

I may be way off but a few years ago I could not lose weight no matter what I did. On top of that I had yellowing around my eyes and I was getting mild panic attacks. These we all signs of hypo thyroidism. Once I got on synthroid to balance my hormone the weight melted off fast. If you think this could be the same for you…

I could really relate to these posts. I cant eat IN MODERATION! I got fat because I eat like its a job to finish a plate, bowl, or bag. I love all food. I would be happy eating candy and chips all day long until the day I die. I had to cut out all products with added sugar (not including the natural sugar of fruit). I…

if you are not getting the results you want then maybe try doing it slightly different. What you are doing does not sound like it is working for your body. Instead of all the cardio maybe do weight training. If 1500 calories is not losing the weight move your limit to 1300. What kind of foods are you eating? For me certain…

what are you doing differently to lose the weight?

I can totally understand. It is not just a habit but a coping mechanism for your busy life. I was there once too. It took a month for the cravings to stop. A week for the head ache to go away. A day for the weight to start going down. You don't have to be sick because you eat. You just have to eat differently to not get…

I am a huge fan of sushi and curry. However when I have being going to local restaurants around Vancouver, they all add sugar to the rice to make it taste better. I recommend asking to make sure you know what you are ingesting with your rice.

I think you are doing a great job at leading by example. Make sure your child is learning how to eat from your good habits. I also I would talk to you husband about being a example for your child ie not teaching the child to hate veggies. I have a boyfriend who eats cereals for meals like your partner. He eats a lot of…

Diet Soda is a killer for me. I get very bloated which causes my pants to fit tighter. I cant lose weight drinking soda because it perpetuates my crazy sweet cravings. On top of that while it says no calories and no sugar it definitely affects my insulin and blood sugar in a bad way. I have cut out all pop including diet.…

sexy

when i am too tired to sleep that is normally when i eat horrible foods that i am normaly strong enough to say no to.

You looked great!

One thing that made all the difference in being successful is asking myself what is more important? 1. to eat this _____(put whatever food you are holding) right now or 2. to look the way i want for a) summer b) my sexy partner c)boys and girls in general or onlookers. Sometimes I needed the instant gratification and ate;…

For me, I think of exercise and eating as two separate acts. I think the machines add way more calories burned than what we have earned to motivate us to use the machine more. I also know that I can not lose weight by working out, I can only tone my muscle which will improve my shape. I eat to lose weight and I work out to…

Since May 1 I have only ate clean foods. I can tell you that I have lost on average half a pound a day. My skin has also cleared up. I do not have the same sweet craving that have me circling my kitchen every 15 minutes. I have much more energy but most importantly I am much more calm. My moods are more even. I do not get…

My experience is that salads are sneaky caleries. They appear to be healthy with most of its ingredients but then some nuts will be candied or the dressing is loaded with sugar, and don't forget a lot of dried fruits are full of sugar as well. Bring your own lunch seems to be the best option. If they question you about it…

My boyfriend is very fit and has always had a crazy high metabilism. Unfortunately this is not a good thing because he has no concept of the fact that we cant all eat a whole bag of white pasta and six donuts for one meal and have a six pack. That being said, I am much more of healthy eater...and healthier in general. We…

I have cut out all foods that have added sugar. So when I am craving something sweet like ice cream or chocolate bar I will mash up a banana and add cacao (natural coco without sugar) amd mix together for a smooth creamy dessert. It is amazingly delicious once you are off sugar. The calorie goals on here are a estimate. If…
