I'm the same way. I never eat before noon, sometimes as late as 1:30. I'm not consciously "fasting", I'm just not hungry between 9pm and noon. I get most of my workout routine done during the morning period where I haven't eaten. Once I've eaten, I feel nauseous if I try and do any strenuous activity. It's obviously…

Amazing transformation! Congrats to you!

Very pretty! Your hard work is paying off!

Good for you!

You look so incredibly healthy and happy! You're doing an amazing job!

I'm so happy for you! I'm sure you'll reach your next target as well. Congrats!

I used to be a perfect hour glass in my 20s. I was 36-26-36...sigh....wish I'd appreciated that more when I had it. After I had kids and started to put on weight I became pear shaped. Height: 5'4" SW: 310 CW: 219 GW: 150 38-41-49

I made a mixed berry version of these today. They really do work well with any fruit but you should make sure to drain the fruit well. For the bars below I used blueberries, raspberries and blackberries (250g of fruit in total). I also omitted the cinnamon and added 1 tsp of vanilla instead (I reduced the applesauce by…

Trying to post the picture again:

Avocado. I don't know how people eat that slimy stuff.

Cows terrify me. There was an "incident' in my teen years. My family still cracks jokes about the cowmageddon.

Homemade garlic bread. Heavy on the bread, heavy on the butter and extra heavy on the garlic.

You have got to get a food scale. They are quite inexpensive and you will really be alarmed once you realize the difference. You are probably eating 20-30% more than you think you are. And then you have to give it time. Try to only weigh yourself once a week on the same day and at the same time or the scale fluctuations…

I love oatmeal but for some reason I find I'm hungry very soon after eating it and it gives me horrible heartburn!! I know oatmeal is supposed to be one of those foods that's good for sensitive stomachs but it just doesn't sit well with me at all.

I don't know what you're talking about. Your face is beautiful.

Feel free to send me a friend request. I have a long way to go myself!

I have a shellfish/fish allergy and I have no problem getting my protein in every day. Chicken, whole egg and/or egg whites, pork loin, turkey, chickpeas, lentils, greek yogurt...all very high in protein and lean.

Congrats on the awesome progress so far!! What a difference.

Ya. What she said.

I know some people take advantage of aid programs, but I really do choose to believe that the majority of people on assistance would rather not be on it, and instead would like a well-paying job and affordable daycare for their kids. I had a lady in line behind me at the grocery store today who was obviously trying to…

There is an update on this issue in their forum: There is a known issue with the Friends page, where not all friends will be properly displayed. This should only affect users with more than 25 friends on their list. We are working on resolving this bug, and I will keep this thread updated as that fix comes together. Sorry…

It sounds a lot like ARFID (Avoidant-Restrictive Food Intake Disorder). It's more common in children than adults but maybe you had food issues as a child too? I think it's actually classified as an ED and is sort of a catch-all when you aren't anorexic or bulimic. Edited to add symptoms: Sufferers of ARFID have an…

Feel free to add me. I'm initially trying to lose 90 pounds to get under that 200 mark but losing 130-140 would be even better. It seems like such a long road but I'm trying to take it day by day. I keep my diary open and log every day.

I'm in Ottawa. Feel free to add me if you're looking for extra support/friends.

I'm 46, soon to be 47 (yikes). I've got a lot of weight to lose but I've been making pretty good progress so far. I've only been on MFP for about 6 weeks now. Feel free to add me as a friend.

Wow...new friends already. Thanks for adding me!

I don't really drink at all...the last time might have been in Las Vegas 3 years ago on vacation...so at least I'm not trying to give that up on top of the food. No drugs either. I come from a family of alcoholics and drug abusers so I'm pretty thankful I managed to steer clear of those things. My poisons of choice were…

I haven't quite figured out how to add people yet, but I'm going to try and add everyone in this message. If you don't hear from me, please feel free to add me yourself! I'm currently at 289...I can't believe I'm saying that out loud (sort of). I manage to get myself under 200 at one point, then quit smoking 4 years ago…
