I'm a simple Folgers with a TBS of stevia kind of girl.

I've always had big thighs. Back in first grade I was very underweight and had big thighs. Now I have 45 pounds to lose, and still, big thighs. Idk the secret but share with me when you find it!

The average calories per day for an exclusively breastfed baby is 500. So, at 13 months she should be still getting most (more than half) of her nutrition through breastfeeding. Say she is getting 75% of her nutrition from nursing, then you probably are burning about 375 nursing her. When she gets up to half from you and…

Today I tried on the jeans I bought online two months ago that I couldn't pull up past my legs. Today I pulled them up and zipped them up and could even breathe!!

*N SYNC bwahahha yes I was totally that girl with my entire room covered in their posters. Now I guess my fav is Maroon 5 if they count :)

I'm 5'3" and I set my goal to 1250. I'm sure there are a hundred varying opinions on how many calories I should eat, so my plan is to just do what works. This so far is working very very well for me. If it stops working, I will re-evaluate.

Awesome, keep it up!!

How many calories are you currently eating while not trying to lose weight? I would go by that minus 200-300 calories a day for a couple of weeks and see whether it affects your milk supply before decreasing your calories more.

My twins weaned quite a while ago but I just wanted to comment on these comments above and say that it is Wonderful to see so many full-term breastfeeding Moms!! Your baby needs your milk until age 2 (years!!!) plus, so good job, mommas!!

The photos are too different for me to be able to tell. You have to take the photo at the same angle to be able to tell.

An American pizza is about two feet in diameter, so eating an entire pizza here is a lot. They take the pizza and cut it into triangular slices but there are also "personal pan" pizzas that are much smaller and meant for just one person to eat.

People who have fewer items on their plates for a meal typically eat less than someone with a variety foods on their plate. It Increases the appetite to have a variety of different foods on the plate, and more so when they are vibrant, varying colors more than if the food is all one color or dull in color.

There are lots of healthy foods that are very convenient. Go to the frozen veggie aisle and look for the steam able in-bag stuff. You just pop it in the microwave for a few minutes and they are usually about 120 calories for an entire bag. I went and bought a gazillion of them and filled my deep freezer. So...I have 14…

Hi friend!

Ask him if he will go to marriage counseling with you. Even if he refuses, you can go yourself. Buy The Love Dare book and try to save your marriage.

Lol no I don't eat orange skin but just like what happened with cantaloupe (poop from the cantaloupe pluckers contaminated the skin) when you peel or cut into the skin of produce, whatever bacteria is on the skin can contaminate the flesh and then you end up with someone else's poop in your digestive tract.

I eat them and don't see think there is anything to be concerned about. I wish they could genetically modify stuff so that human germs aren't retained on the surface. That way the next time I see the weirdo in the orange section touching each orange to her nose, I won't have to worry whether I washed away all of his…

You're not having periods because you were starving yourself, telling your body not to ovulate because you would just miscarry anyway. It could take several months of hitting your nutritional requirements before you ovulate again and therefore have a regular menstrual cycle. Yes, you have an eating disorder. Even if you…

I'm in a similar boat. My twins weaned the same time my Mom died, so I started emotional eating and was no longer burning the calories by nursing two little ones. I'm no longer going to do emotional eating!

One of my ancestors was an African American slave. While I cherish my ancestry, nobody would guess I have African lineage. I'm very light skinned with red hair.

Breastfeeding doesn't change the breasts, actually just giving birth does. Even women who don't nurse get engorged with milk and that is what causes change.

That is not something a friend says, it is something an enemy would say.

I am a mom of twins too. Add me if you'd like

You can just call tomorrow. The family gathering isn't until Friday, so you have plenty of time to talk to someone first. It makes zero difference to me whether or not you eat the burger. What is important is that you are less than 100 pounds and terrified to eat a single meal, along with a self-worth of zilch. You are…

I average two each day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon.

My biggest fear is losing my children or husband.

I can hear your heart screaming out for help. You really need to talk to a professional qualified to help treat your anorexia, and know that your value lies in so much more than digits on a scale.

Mostly cheerios and frozen vegetables.
