207lbs? PSHT! I wish I was only 207 lol.

I get severe and uncontrollable vomiting from starchy foods and especially wheat. I mean, I actually burst vessels in my eyeballs :sick: I cut a vast majority of that out and things began to settle. I started getting nauseous again lately and discovered it was from the excessive cocoa I used. I also can not eat more than…

Agreed. Or just fishing for compliments.

I've never consciously thought of "eating clean" but I do avoid as much of the processed, pre-packaged stuff as I can. I've almost become phobic of the unnecessary chemicals they add. I love using Corn Pops and Gorilla Munch as an example. Corn Pops has a huge list of ingredients while Gorilla Munch has three (corn, salt,…

You're awesome :flowerforyou:

It's the internet sweetie. Yes there's lots of good ppl on MFP, but being the internet you'll get lots of trolls and plan old d!cks. I've seen quite a few know-it-alls thinking that their opinion is the only correct opinion and anything you say in opposition is dead-wrong and perhaps even a personal attack. Gawd forbid you…

Can you believe there is actually vegetarian "bacon"? :noway: :laugh:

This.

The hum of my PC. Traffic out front. My dog snoring. The rats doing their wake-up routine aka squabbling. Edit: And the thunderous roar of two cats running back and forth upstairs.

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :angry:

Sodium? Sometimes I have a general craving if I need sodium. Or if I simply have not drank enough water.

Our tap water tastes like algae and mildew. In the summer it often tests positive for nitrates (decomposing poop) from all the birds that sit in the open water pits or whatever you call them. I can not drink it. Bottled water I can drink, but I still can not drink as much of it as I'm "suppose to" without waking up every…

The fad, actually, is to add gluten to every single thing we eat. Gluten itself is unnecessary, not the desire to avoid it. Having said that, I do agree that restricting gluten completely isn't necessary, even if you have a non-Celiac intolerance to it (as I do). I restrict my grains and use gluten-free alternatives when I…

:laugh: I go as gluten-free as I can stand to (it reduces various symptoms); I tried totally gluten-free for a bit, and I honestly respect Celiacs for what they go through. I avoid grains like they're plagues, the live-in bf eats bread every day. He'll eat toast (ohmygodifknlovetoast), I refrain. When he goes shopping he…

I was originally diagnosed with fibro, have now been changed to myofascial pain syndrome, arthritis, etc. You can still add me if you like :)

It's Easter. I plan on enjoying it, with moderation.

Lol, yes I guess eh? I'm limited in my exercise and don't walk as much as I can, admittedly. I take measurements every week. The measurements go up slightly when the scale goes up which, I'm assuming, could be expected with water weight gain?

These I make myself. The strawberry one has 125ml of water, 3tbsps of cream cheese, 85g of fat free greek yogurt, 70g strawberries, 1tbsp vanilla, sweetener, and sometimes salt. I add 2tbsps of chicory root inulin for fibre. I've been drinking a lot of shakes to get calories in to me when I otherwise want zero solids (GI…

I can't believe I know what Prader-Willi is without Wikipedia :laugh: When you switch diets your brain needs a bit of time to learn what this new food is all about. When I first made the switch I constantly craved the processed carbs I was eating prior until I realized what my brain was really signaling for was salt. Now…

My doctor stopped weighing me shortly after puberty. He counsels on weight when you look overweight but still doesn't weigh you. I can only assume it's due to all the complaints being made in this thread; perhaps I'll ask my doctor today why he doesn't weigh us over-weight patients and see what he says.

Out of whack hormones can do this.

My doctor would shoot me if I tried for 5lbs a week. He was a tad upset as it was when I lost 10lb in one month. Can you actually see yourself eating 1100cal a day for the rest of your life? Because that is what it will take to keep your weight off. "Dieting" doesn't work in the long-term, but changing your diet…

Mine is open, and honest.

:laugh:

There are women being stoned to death for being raped and this is the "women's equality" issue you want to fight about? :huh:

Does height matter in this? Or would a 5'0 and a 5'9 female both look pretty much the same as the one in the pic?

My only advice is to not worry about the bf% and focus on the 10 pounds. K.I.S.S :tongue: (Gawd I hope you've heard of that, I am totally not coming on to you :laugh: ) Edit: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/737101-relatively-light-people-trying-to-get-leaner

Wow. Now you're reading way too far into what I was saying. I never said anything about going over goals, actually, neither did OP. Nor have I said anything about feeling guilty when one does go over goals. Going over one's goals...Ii can't find where that entered into our back-and-forth until you brought it up. OP wanted…

This may be where our disagreement comes in. I do not consider hamburger, bacon, nor cheese to be junk food. Cheese is my main staple, as is beef in all it's glorious forms, and although we haven't had bacon in awhile... well, I think we got sick of it as we were having it nearly everyday. Yes, while I was losing that 20…

I wish I could see your diary. I would LOVE to be able to see how I might possibly lose weight eating chips and cookies and chocolate and Twizzlers to my hearts content. Maybe not the Twizzlers and chocolate, but everything else that I could possibly stuff into my face.
