I agree completely. I raised 8 children. I didn't not spank in anger. I spanked when the offense fit the punishment. I never yelled at my kids. I spoke once and if they didn't listen they got a swat on the backside. They all turned out to be good citizens and there isn't an animal abuser or serial killer among them. They…

Yes some men will sabotage because they are afraid they will lose you if you lose weight and you obviously have a large amount to lose. They do it unconsciously because when you are overweight they believe no one else will want you. It could very well be his insecurity. My first husband did the same thing. You are going to…

1300 calories for an adult male of your age is way too low. You have put your body in starvation mode and your metabolism slows way down to protect you. yes you do need to increase your calorie intake and that should straighten out. You could go as high as 2000 with no problem is my guess. the heavier you are the more…

You are putting your body in starvation mode with your low calorie intake. first off you are already thin at 100lb and 5ft 4inches. This is not healthy at all.

I had a tummy tuck at 35 and yes you will feel great. I will tell you it is the most painful surgery you will probably ever have but it is more than worth it. Pick your surgeon wisely. some are much better than others. Mine was the greatest. He even rebuilt me a cut little belly button. And yes to getting yourself in the…

Sabretts if you are where you can get them. Most Walmart's carry them now or Hebrew National. These are a ll beef and Kosher.

Your body will let you know it is changing without having to feel sick and sore. If you are sick and sore to the point of being non functioning you are doing serious harm to your body. A little tender is normal when you start training but what you describe is not good for you at all. The object is to eat a balanced healthy…

Send me a friend request. Been there done that and will be happy to give you support on your journey.

I just put this user under the ignore user column.

At 5'4" and 120lbs I have one question. What are you doing here? Any less weight and you would be way too thin. It sounds like you perceive yourself as fat which indicates you may have a problem with anorexia. I am 5'5" and when I was 125 at age 30 I looked like crap. Too thin. Perhaps you should speak to a therapist. I am…

You might want to take a look at the Body Reset . By Harley Pasternak. Just Google it. It just might get you on the right track. I know I have had the same yoyo problem all my life and for me this is really working. It might not be for you but worth looking at.

I think I was born a size 4 LOL

I have found MFP to be pretty much very close to right on.

NO your not being mean. Your being a total *kitten*. Unfriend the foodies.

Excellent answer and exactly the way I feel. If you can't control your urges that is your problem not the worlds. If you have a problem with it shut down your FB and problem solved or you could unfriend them so you don't see it. who died and named you dictator of other people's enjoyment.

Amen.

You look fabulous. Great job.

AMEN

Unless your personal trainer is also a nutritionist he/she probably knows about as much about nutrition as most Drs do. NOTHING. Drs get about one chapter in their entire schooling on nutrition. Most of them will admit they don't know **** about it. You are right you know your body. Do it your way and if you don't get the…

ROFLMAO!!!!! Good one. It made my evening

The man asked a simple question. Nothing to get nasty about.

If you haven't taken measurements, do. There is more than one way to measure progress. My guess is you have also lost inches. This can be a great motivator also. 8 lbs in one month is great and especially since you really don't have that much to lose in the first place. You want to take it off slow so you can maintain and…

Absolutely. My husband and I have been taking Osteo Bi-Flex for about 15 years and it makes a huge difference. My Rheumatologist also recommends it.

Congratulations you are looking so nice. Keep up the great work. You will make it.

Can you get in more water. You may be a little dehydrated. Also try adding some protein for energy.

No your diary isn't public. So hard to tell for sure but it could be you need more fruit and more water. It is going to take a while. You didn't put it on over night and it will take time to take if off. I would not be real worried as 8 lbs since Christmas is just under 2 lbs a week which is good progress. hang in there.

Everyone's body is different and your personal body metabolism may well be different than others. Yes you are right. There are many variables involved.

It also depends on age and your personal metabolism. I Log and measure everything that goes into my mouth and I do lose but it is a real struggle even at a good deficit. So she is actually right. What works for one person may not necessarily work for another.
