Hallo! Ich glaube, Sie suchen können für die deutschen Foren, die hier - http://community.myfitnesspal.com/de Hello! I believe you may be looking for the German forums, which can be found here - http://community.myfitnesspal.com/de

OP, you may want to increase your calorie intake to maybe around 2200-2500 calories or so, to get you up to closer to 145lbs or 150. If you want some 'better' options, try goign for protein powder/protein bars. A good goal for gaining for you would probably be 150g of protein a day. However you may want to talk to your…

Obviously its not impossible to lose weight while on 'weight gaining' medications, on the contrary, its very possible! However, the simple point is, some medications do make you gain weight. You may not see as fast of weight loss while on these medications, as compared to when you are not

Lots of misinformation in this thread, Im a bit busy at the moment, but I'll do a brief explanation. Dont really have a bunch of time to sit on this thread, so Ill do my best to make a brief, but thorough answer Weight gain and weight loss is controlled by a host of mechanisms, but primarily it is based off calories in vs…

Pharmacist here. OP Im not seeing in this thread specifically what you are taking (possibly missed it) but if you want to send me a PM, there may be an alternative medication that might work a bit better for you. Also for those who say medications can or cant cause weight loss, you're simply wrong. Medications can alter…

Pharmacist here. Many people here will discourage you from the use of phentermine, which if you can lose the weight without it, absolutely thats the better option. However, for some people, they need some medical intervention. Dont let people judge you. This is your weight loss journey. Phentermine works on the fight or…

This is a post I made on another site, so it may be a bit out of context, but these are my suggestions for people who are looking to make a fiscal investment into their weight loss. This was in reference to someone asking about the best way to keep track of their metabolism and weight loss, and how to determine what their…

Check out this link. Im not exactly clear on what your question is, but I believe this should help: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/account/change_goals_custom

No, they dont. There is nothing within splenda that would alter, inhibit, or reduce metabolism or weight loss (unless you are using some rediculous amount, like 90 packets a day, which Im sure your not). You may want to look into altering some other elements, such as increasing your water intake, or varying up your…

Anything <5 calories is considered "calorie free" by the FDA. The reason is this amount is so minimal, your body uses more calories trying to chew, swallow, and digest that food, than is actually contained in the food. Thats why you hear about "negative calorie foods" like Celery. Celery contains an extremely minimal…

Some of my favorites, not sure if they have it at your place, but they are all great: Black Dragon Roll Volcano Roll Green Dragon Roll Flower Roll From Russia With Love (my favorite, but I think its chain specific)

I think there is a bit of misinformation here. Yes there are different kinds of sugars, and they are different, but what it comes down to is how its digested. I have the actual numbers somewhere, but its too late to hunt for them, so Ill make it simple. Some sugars may account for a different amount of calories than…

I pretty much use my Whey Powder the same way I would swiss miss hot chocolate. Heat up some water, mix in the powder, its not to bad

Pharmacist here. Ignore what anyone says about aspartame. There has never been ANY definitive studies that show aspartame (or any artificial sweetener) leads to DNA/Cell damage, which is the ONLY way you get cancer. There have been studies that have lasted decades long, and no real study has shown anything related to…

Welcome to the forums! I've always found that having some form of accountability or friendship is the main key to success on weight loss. Something that makes you feel like you gotta stick to it. A good way to find friends is to remain active on the forums. A great place to start is in our motivation challenges, so you can…

SW: 187 CW: 185 GW: 172 (May) GW: 160 Weigh in Dates: Start of Month (5/01 Thur): 187 5/03 Sat: 186 5/10 Sat: 5/17 Sat: 5/24 Sat: End of Month (5/31 Sat): Total weight lost: 2lbs

Pharmacy Intern here, Yes, Ephedrine can marginally increase fat loss. However, there are MANY contraindications, especially for those with hypertension, atherosclerosis, high cholesterol, heart issues, and much much more. I would highly caution against using it for that use. If you do, make sure you are not taking more…

No. They must go through a 4 phase process. Of the drugs that are initially researched (thousands of drugs), very few even submit for an NDA. ~24 NDAs are filled a year. Of those 24, many of them will not be approved to go on the market

That article is very short sited, and not understanding of the bigger picture. First, everything has a secondary effect. Every drug, every food, drink everything. The drug being discussed in this thread, if you want to get technical, is not really to cause weightloss or appetite suppression, its to bind to the serotonin…

Why on earth would you want to inject vitamin C?

They actually are fairly different. Phentermine is a symptathomimetic. It works by (laymens terms) activating your 'fight or flight response'. Think of this response as how you would react to a bear chasing you. When a bear is chasing you, are you worried about being hungry? No, your worried about much more important…

Pharmacy student here. We had to do quiet a few case studies on this. There is no real efficacy. Theres no major side effects, so your not at risk trying it, but no real evidence to support weigh loss

Thread moved to a more appropriate section. Just make sure to watch the language and innuendos guys, dont want to have to send out any warnings or blocks. Have fun!

Best game was silver, but the best pokemon, for me at least, was Exploud. Before exploud, nidoking and charizard

DayZ has been my new crack. A MMO zombie survival game. I think what so amazing about this game is you die in the game. Like if you die, you lose everything. You potentially could run back to your body and pick up everything, but if you were killed by someone else, all your stuff is probably gone. You constantly have to…
