I think rather than taxing junk food healthy snacks should be subsidized. I live in a fairly poor neighborhood and lots of my neighbors are on SNAP/food stamps. Parents desparate to feed their kids something and super poor think that cheetos and fruit snacks are the way to go. The fact that I can buy a pack of cheetos for…

For me, it was about a year in. When I first started MFP consistently losing weight was the only goal. I did that, lost 30 lbs the first year, no exercise just calorie counting. Now I try to keep to high protein, high fiber as I am trying to recomp my body rather than weight loss. I'm a fan of protein but also simplicity…

145 1/4 sticks of butter. :)

You can slowly make replacements here and there and soon you will have them a lot less. I used to kill 5 cans of mountain dew a day, along with juices, milk, etcetera. Now I can't even deal with diet sodas, they all taste wrong. I can do milk and flavored seltzer water in small doses. I've kicked myself over to cut my…

I am pro-snacks, if you can make sure to not confuse the grazing with a free for all mentality. I have a sort-of friend who is anorexic and will refuse to eat and refuse to eat and refuse to eat, then, as humans are designed to eat, freak out and eat everything and blow over the fasting calories burned easily. I keep a…

I have in fact referred to them as "sandwich dollars" to other people before. They always seem to know what I mean. 8)

I know but I lack the hungry feeling as much as I used to DX Mister male has taken it upon himself to make sure I get to at least 1000 every day.

So I tried running yesterday just a bit after post... Turns out I can still almost entirely run a mile and have taken off a minute from high school (was 40 lbs heavier then.) yay! Will get on those apps.

Any suggestion of what weight/how many reps to start with?

Thinsports, it's not as simple as "start eating more." EDs are mental issues with physical problems.

Not, but I'm not really into dudes.

Lady - it is just not fair. ;) They bulk AND lose faster? I assume they have a cheat code they put in at self creation. I am going to keep trying on carb restriction. The desire for carby goodness has been quelled with my cheaty food yesterday. For sure I need to eat some more vegetables, because eating this much meat will…

The snack cake was all me I will admit. I am laying around dreaming of bagel, ha. The first pasta offering I felt an obligation to eat, because someone made it for me. The second round was a picnic event and one of the people working it put it on my plate. I tend to go through food anxieties so I made myself eat it lest…

Honestly, like everyone else is saying, just try, try again tomorrow. Every two or three weeks I will intentionally eat that kind of stuff, and if your intake is normally low, you'll get to the toilet tomorrow and the damage will be gone. Normally I eat around 1200 or less, then I'll splurge on a Big Mac AND brownies or…

Before I was active in trying to lose weight I would sometimes eat the thing I wanted, but my periods were very short so if I could make it a day or two it would be fine. Now, I take the active pill of my birth control every day. Every 3 months or so I'll have some spotting and cravings but I'll usually just ignore them.…

Argh. I'll give a real reply when I'm not mobile again. I love my iphone for games but I hate trying to browse the internet again. I did recently notice that the sodium was high though and was in fact going to try working on that. It's hard with the protein because every time I exercise it adds more for me to eat. I don't…

I want to say three or four weeks now. I was progressing at a pound every two weeks on 1,500 calories, and then it stretched on and on so I moved down to 1,200.

I was 160 when I started not eating enough. I got down to 140 in a month or two. I got stuck there for another month or so and then I gave up and ballooned to 170 in just a few weeks. I was so pissed off. I wasn't eating more than I had regularly when I decided to give up food.

It seems long because 25 lbs, half a pound a week, is 50 weeks. There are 52 weeks in a year.
