Have you messed around with your macros? Most days I need higher protein and fat than carbs. But every now and then I need a very high carb day or two. Usually I know when this going to occur based on how I'm feeling. If I have a mild headache that doesn't respond to an ibuprofen or feel lethargic, that day instead of…

90%* of mfp users don't log, need a tune up and are here solely to be social or entertained. *scientific study pending publication

Nah, irrelevant. Unless you aren't friends with women because it always turns romantic. I have never had any issue making friends with men or women. I'm bi.

Is the issue that the one man you are sexually attracted to isn't your mate? Sexuality is fluid for many people, desire for sex ebbs and flows - attraction less about genitals and more about appearance and personality. You're fine. Enjoy life.

Sources? Mind you Westboro Baptist isn't a credible one.

If you aren't interested in lifting, I am of little value because I hate cardio and only the the basics amount for cardiovascular health.

OP are you interested in lifting weights? If yes, use the Google machine and look up Starting Strength, New Rules of Weightlifting for Women, Strong Curves or Strong Lifts 5x5. Any of these is an excellent place to start.

I am looking for a husband. Is that against the rules too?

I like making dried beans too. Look for discount meat that's nearing expiration. I love seeing yellow and orange tags. I frequently find chorizo for 2 dollars a pound and chicken thighs and legs for less than that. I also like steel cut oats and pasta.

So you eat 1700 calories and not 1,200. Congratulations you've learned MFP sets calories low.

OMG, you're such a unicorn. Had you not drank, you would have made more progress. That's it.

Basically those two things. Eat food your enjoy in reasonable portions.

Well, to gauge if he loves you too, start showing up where he is unexpectedly. If he asks you why you are stalking him, you know he doesn't love you.

As point people pointed out, she never said blackout drunk. She said she had to drink a lot - for me drinking a lot and being black out drunk are pretty different.

Honestly, I am unsure why you can't sleep during the day and just make reasonable choices at night. Vodka and like, diet sprite, lime -- that might be 100 per low ball. It's up to you how many you want to consume but I would have 2-3 and be done. I waste 300 calories a day on chocolate.

I prefer to waste my money on Lisa Frank's new clothing line.

Surely you have not tried every possible antidepressant on the market? There are SO many. I am all for holistic approaches, but not when it comes from advice from strangers in that internet that might compromise your safety and the safety of your children. It's fantastic you are seeking out help from a doctor - please…

I am waiting for an example of a thread where heavy lifting was thrown out by the masses that didn't have to do with body composition or retaining muscle mass or looking toned or asking for work outs to start with. I've been here a long, long time -- I want some of these examples, OP. Since they happen so often, it…

I think "you don't need to lose weight" is a common thing to say when a woman who isn't obviously overweight when she says she wants to lose weight -- because eating disorders and disordered thinking about food/warped perspective of themselves are so common. I think the intent is usually good. They just want want their…

I have an IUD because my cramps were severe enough to interfere significantly with daily living. I wouldn't have worked out those days, it wouldn't have been possible. It's one thing to be tired/irritable/not feel like it or the physical pain can be controlled with OTC pain medication. If not, I would encourage you to chat…

That's funny, when I look around the forums and people are giving out advice I see a lot of "pick an activity you enjoy". Where I do see lifting suggested mightily is in threads where people are complaining about being flabby but at their goal weight. Or people specifically asking about activities to try when they are…
