Also, if the body naturally has a set point why would that be an unhealthy percentage of fat? Wouldn't it be a healthy one? It would make zero sense biologically for the body to automatically fight to maintain a state of ill health. We'd all have died off long before this if our bodies constantly fought against food intake…

How can it be a set point if it apparently changes all the time? That's an actual question, I'm not trying to be an idiot. I mean you rarely hear about a person who, for example, gained to 140 at, say, 5''2", as an adult; then couldn't lose from there but never gained again from there either because of Set Point. Instead…

I guess so, but it's way more fun to hear the jokes.

My eyes just burned right out of my head in self-defense.

What??? Just no! All that sweat and flopping...? Hard pass but they do say there's something for everyone so I won't judge. :)

I don't like juicing because it gives you concentrated calories in a comparatively small volume and you can't chew it. :) I'd rather eat an apple.

Six months is a way long time. You're basically starting from scratch. But think: one month from now you will be so glad you started a month ago. Two months from now you will be so happy you started two months ago. We all need to start some time and today is as good a day as any. :)

This is just my view but if this didn't happen until your 5th month LCing I would be looking into other possible causes. It's weird that for four months everything was fine but now it isn't. Usually LC constipation starts much sooner than that, within days for some people.

Oh I don't know....like 5 in water/food and almost back to where I started today.

Technically, yes, but obviously you will want to also eat stuff in your day that doesn't make you jitter and bounce off the walls. I get in my protein (your goals may be different) and other stuff that fuels me so I function well, and then I have my Three Musketeers. YMMV. I don't pay much attention to the Sugars category…

I love candy. I eat chocolate every single day. I have lost 60 lbs.

No. See #9 on this list: https://www.healthywage.com/legal/terms-and-conditions They can use and even modify any of your images literally forever, with no limits. Read the language, they are pretty careful to cover every possibility. Good luck to all participants.

Whenever...really doesn't matter...my husband lost 90 lbs. getting up highly for a handful of dry cereal. He had his midnight munch fests worked into his total calories.

Exactly. It seems simple but food issues can be a huge trigger and deeply embedded and it can occasionally take a light touch to deal with this. Just screaming "Get that kitten mother-kittening fattening kitten cookie out of my face. Sorry to be rude but why should I be nice if you are being an azz....?" may not be the…

Maybe. But they're delicious. And the third eyeball and seizures don't bother me all THAT much. Totally not a deal breaker. Pass me another Coke Zero and merry Christmas!

Nope. If only! Maybe the idea is that some people sub the endorphins from sex for what they would have gotten from eating. Something semi-woo like that. Not I. After sex I want to eat like an animal.

Dang. 40 lbs. Sweet. Great post!

P.s. drinking peppermint mocha flavored coffee (no cream or sugar, technically black, I guess) which was on sale this week at the store. :) It is very Christmas-y.

This is a good idea or you can just chew the beans, or stuff the grounds into your cheek like chaw. GOOOOOOOOD morning!

My leggings aren't see through either and never have been...this happens? They are thick and utilitarian - they fit tight to my body and off I go without having to think about them. They last forever, too, through workouts, frequent washings, everything.

Yes. I can't imagine not.

Yummy yummy. Weigh it and eat it. I have a KK literally up the road from me and holy heck but does it smell good when they open up the drive through window.

For heaven's sake, need a hug? I know what you posited and it has pretty much hands down been debunked. By everybody. Again, no. All this had nothing to do with helping the OP, help (actual help) has already been given.

I didn't cough much when I smoked, which is weird since I smoked heavily, but after stopping I coughed like crazy for a while. But then things straightened out. Someone told me that while you're smoking, the cilia are sort of flattened due to the tar, but once you stop, as the tar clears out they become more mobile again…

Hi, sweetie. Before I was DXd with Hashi's, although I did lose weight when I cut my calories (that was always consistent even when I was so sick I couldn't get out of bed) I found myself really, really hungry. My doctor said (somebody verify/refute this at will) that hypo-T people may be severely hungry due to the body…

What's a snatch waistline? You have a beautiful, strong body.

I think people push food for a number of reasons. They may not deliberately be trying to sabotage anything. Gatherings, for example, seem made for food and always have, all the way back through history in probably every major culture across the globe. Somebody not eating feels odd and non-celebratory to some. I personally…

I am really not quite sure how to take that.

Oh my GOD. (fainting)
