I have some sketchers slip-resistant work shoes. Very sturdy, but not technically for outdoors. Would those be okay?

This makes me feel so much better. I'm shameless on food stuff but it's good to know I'm not the only one.

If I feel like my measurements are getting bigger I'll pull out my corsets and wear them as tight as I can without pain for a day or two until I feel like it prevented the extra growth. I'll even sleep in it if I'm really worried. Note: due to my scoliosis discovery I don't sleep in them anymore.

I plan on at least taking an hour out to hike, some of it may involve light rock climbing, the kind of rock climbing that doesn't require safety equipment. But I don't know if it'd be considered long distance or not. I need someone to break the two down for me.

What is the difference between the two? Wouldn't I go a long distance being out a few hours anyway? o.O See learning already

It's the first thing he's tossed at me that wasn't needed. Everything else has been for infections.

I was on paxil and found out I was allergic. Plus the half-life is awful. An old doc put me on Effexor, which has been helping but not ending the cycling (rapid cycler, mixed episodes, type 2 BP) so she's pushing me to talk to my doctor about getting on a mood stablizer like lithium. How's the lithium working? That's the…

I haven't been able to tell if it has or hasn't yet. If anything, it's helping me from gaining. But I don't have a scale at home so I can't keep a weekly (or daily and get the average) on my own.

The overwhelming comes from my Bipolar. I make nearly everything from scratch and without recipes, I don't typically measure anything either. So I realize me counting calories will literally be a full week of me measuring out everything and then uploading it here to get a nutrition label and then making sure I measured my…

Exsactly, that's where my worry is. Plus, as long as I can remember I don't think I've ever had a 2200 calories or less diet. Jumping straight to 1600 would be far too overwhelming for me. I'll see what I can do about logging food better. :)

It's not related to my metabolism. I have moderately degenerating thoraticlumbar scoliosis. My spine from L2-L5 or 6 ish is curved at about 30*. Plus patella instability. I also have a mental illness that makes it easy for me to get overwhelmed easily, which is why counting calories is so challenging for me. None of this…

I am POSITIVE I'm not eating 4000 calories. If I was, my last few visits to the doctor (which have been monthly) would have shown me gaining fast, which means I've been within my TDEE. Which, according to this calculator, is 2594 when I put myself as a desk job/couch potato. I didn't specifically ask about losing weight.…

I actually have no clue what I'm eating. But I do know I'm maintaining. I have no clue. I do lose weight fairly slow. But I'm hoping to find a way to get it going a little faster. I'm 6ft even and weight about 284lbs

I googled 8562309856120 piece Rubbermaid set and didn't find anything. Is there another name for it or am I just being stupid? o.o

I definetly don't have the money for that.

This hasn't been working for me. I need containter.

I'm glad you put your height because otherwise I would have been like "i don't see that much weight." It made it much easier to understand the distribution. I disagree with the one meal a day, but if you had/have all your panels showing no strain and it worked, that's all that matters. Good job! Very Inspirational : )

Sexy bathing suit is sexy. And a little bdsm. I like : ) Awesome progress!

Si, si it does. I'm just not sure where I am on that scale. I'm thinking I had a bit because when I start losing muscle mass in my back I start getting slipped disks. I'm currently sititng here hoping the one I've been suffering with all day goes back in place. How bad would it be if I just cut calories, then lost a bunch…

I had an issue a couple weeks ago where I did a lifting session and ended up spending 6 hours on the couch that night with very acute and painful muscle and joint inflamation, like it went all the way up my neck and spine down to my fingers and toes., that same day I got gastroenteritis, doctors didn't see a connection, so…

I think so but I'm not sure, it's really alll due to my joint issues I've been having. I know I could probably do planks, but I'm not sure about anything else.

So I can't lose anymore weight without losing my muscle mass?

In between snacking can help too, even if it's just to slowly transition. Nothing bing, maybe get a few 100 calorie snack packs, munch on it throughout the day?

I cant run, and if I have to, I get winded. Turns out I can run with a little conditioning (interval training) and now if I have to break into a run (like crossing the street), I don't pant like a dog, I can deep, steady breath myself back to slow breathing. I can't count calories or watch what I eat. A scale helps so…

Good food is by far more expensive everywhere I've lived. If done right, it's not bad, but when you need at least 2500 cals just to maintain weight, that can add up. Out where I live, some stuff is cheap, lettuces' are usually 99cents to 1.25$, bananas are 53-59 cents a pound. But those are really the cheapest, everything…

I actually really enjoy eating healthy food, like, more than I think most people do. So unless I'm a diet of strictly donuts and pastries I'm always eating foods I enjoy. I'm just to exhausted to cook. I hate processed food and everytime I turn to it to take the place of actual cooking I just feel awful. It's just becoming…

I'm already in intestinal distress, and since I took some the other day symptoms have gone down. I was afraid of the same thing, on a normal day I am. But I'm kinda willing to risk it if I feel even a bit better tomorrow

Im finding some coconut oil helps a huge ton, I think because of the antibacterial, antiviral, antifungle qualitys. I'm just having trouble finding ways to consume it.

Nice to meet you! I'm a polish girl in Mormon Utah. It's awkward.. But yay! Motivation buddies!

Same here, I've completely stopped logging it because if it's not even going to show me what I've maybe burned or did why bother? However if were missing something, I sure with someone would tell us.
