My MFP resume: *Long time MFP user (8 years but made a new profile a few years back) *I stopped logging food/going to the gym for a few years even though I signed in every day to support friends. * I started Weight Watchers earlier this month, I don't like it and decided MFP is loads better than them. * I'm back and hoping…

I have that problem too. It's not actual butt sweat but my back does and it rolls down the middle into the crack...lol! I find black pants show the wet spot too. I have tried a different undies, types of pants, regular baby powder, spray deodorants to wick the sweat away, even a maxi pad on my tailbone to see it it helped.…

@ Elisa123gal I think she is blaming society more than anything. I don't feel bad for her mother one bit, she has the right to talk about her experiences in life whether it was good or bad. She even said it wasn't really her mothers fault because she was raised that way too. Because of those experiences, she has great…

A pound of fat = roughly 3500 calories. Obviously that means you need -3500 calories to lose a pound of fat. Find out what your TDEE is, here is a website for that: http://www.fitnessfrog.com/calculators/tdee-calculator.html So, let say your TDEE is 2000 and you want to lose 1 pound a week. 2000 calories a day x 7 =14,000…

I appreciate all the responses but the point of this thread was to inspire people to change the world and not just their own life. When you are on your death bed, it's not going to matter that you bought that $10,000 couch. The little girl that got fed, the military family that were able to pay their medical bills or the…

Thanks EvgeniZyntx :) Its much appreciated :) For the other people who are hating, this is what I wrote that is relevant to the thread: I can understand how someone could become anorexic or even look like they are when they are actually eating a lot of food. For example, Its super hard to find anything to eat in a typical…

Okay, yes, getting all your vitamins from food is possible but you will have to have a perfect diet every single day and for almost everyone, that is not reasonable. Some people don't like all the foods that your body needs to function correctly when your a vegan. I stand behind my statement that people NEED supplements so…

Oops hah! I just ready what Google popped up and didn't go into detail. Thanks!

I became pescetarian just over 2 months ago. I just couldn't bare to eat most animals and the thought of eating their muscles and fat repulses me now. I only eat seafood that is unintelligent or wild caught. (Only have brain stems and/or that are able to live in the wild without abuse) I haven't lost weight haha! Mostly…

Have to edit.

Wrong forum, you might want to go over to General Diet and Weight Loss Help to get more responses :)

You might want to put this in the support section of the website because this area is suppose to be about success stories. I haven't experienced anyone distancing themselves from me, actually the opposite. For some reason everyone is nicer to people who weigh less. Its sad but true. I also found that people think it was…

I am a true believer is 1200 calories a day is ridiculous! I don't how anyone would ever feel satisfied. This is how you crunch the numbers and figure out how many cals you should have a day. Go to this website and find out what your total daily energy expenditure is http://iifym.com/tdee-calculator/ Say, your tdee is 2500…

I would like a few more :)

More friends please ;)

Wrong forum...Sorry your feeling so bad.

I know it's not actual pizza but it curbs those craving without blowing like 1000 cals on a few slices of take out pizza :) stop being so pedantic haha ;)

Actually, I really really like zucchini boats and they are sooo much easier to prep. Most of us tend to have impulse cravings for pizza and this allows you to make it fast and its super healthy. A zucchini has like 30 calories for the whole thing so the bulk of your calories are on the toppings and sauce. Skim milk cheese…

I have a tattoo of a sun in the middle of my shoulder blades that needs to be finished. I think that will be my reward.

Its life. I don't understand why people think that they are going to have all "ups" and no "downs". This is going to happen the rest of your life because there will always be birthday cake, a few drinks with friends or you just want an ice cream on a summer day. If you can accept that and have more days that are healthy…

Do both. Trust me on this one. So, at the most weight I lost, 83lbs (and now 52 but I'm working on it again), I was a size 12 at 203 lbs. I got all kinds of crap on here from girls with my same height that were a size 16 at 170lbs. Yup. That's what weight lifting does for you. Skinny girls look good in clothes, fit girls…

You cant control where you lose fat but you can control what you tone up. It sucks but it is what it is.

I'm not low carb. I believe in a balanced diet but if it works for you, then that's great! I do eat meals without them every once in a while. If your going out to eat, my go-to meal is chili's shrimp fajitas. I don't eat the the tortillas at all and just the veggies, meat and some toppings. It will fill you up and you save…

The less you eat sugar, the less you crave it. You just gotta get through those first few days. Allow yourself a dessert week and if you are craving fruity candy, sugar free jolly ranchers are 35 cals for 4 of them and they are awesome.

You need to see a doctor. I bet your deficient in something. I know hypothyroidism can do it.

I quit 6 years ago and it was the hardest thing I have ever done in my life BUT it was also the best thing I ever did as well. I tried many times before that with gum, patches and or cold turkey. I used to smoke almost 2 packs of menthol a day. What really worked for me is the combo of the patch with the occasion piece of…

Amazing!

Awesome! I used to hate water too but I think the key is to always having ice in it when you first get used to it. I freeze water bottles that are half filled and that way its always cold. Also, try throwing a couple cucumbers in it

No idea, based on the wiki it looks yum Foie Gras

I am on lamotrigine as well and It hasn't made me gain weight at all. I am one of these people who are super careful not to over medicate myself with meds. Its simply not necessary. As far as that skinny girl that doesn't drink OJ or have treats, everyone has different body chemistry and lifestyle. You don't know if what…
