drinking to the point of blacking out means that first, you need help with a drinking problem, then, you can work on your weight...your drinking problem is a "confounding variable" that will prevent you from making long term sustainable changes to your weight (among many other things)...seek professional or group/community…

I'm a young (20's) lady rock climber. Losing ten pounds is like...blah, that can take as long or short as I really desire. When I started rock climbing (hard) I would say I gained 5 pounds of muscle over the course of a year, and it took me probably 2 years to put on another 5 pounds of muscle. Granted, I wasn't…

no bad foods, only bad feelings. I was having trouble with alcohol, in the sense that if I had a drink, I'd have more, and then eat whatever I wanted- but I took a month + off without alcohol and really focused on CICO, IIFYM, and starting eating chocolate and enjoying it nearly every day, and now that I don't restrict…

It sounds like maybe you're not logging beers? If beers are making up a majority of your calories, then you're not getting the nutrients you need for your body to work for you. Working with a dietician may be of help to you.

If it affects your ability to socialize and interact with others positively, its a problem. Also, if it feels like a problem to you, then it's a problem, thats between you and your heart, not us. I have had friends reassure me during times I was feeling obsessive or compulsive, they'd say "yeah, but you are being so…

yesssss I have a friend who has decided to lose weight but eats very large quantities of oatmeal, cheese, fruits, "healthy" things, but tons of them, and doesn't get why they are not losing... I also notice how many people use MFP! Notifications from all ya'll are poppin up on my iphone all the time, at first I was…

The best way to find out is to wait a few weeks and see if you did or not. You don't have calorie counts next to your meals so there is really no way for me to absolutely know if you will lose weight or not, however from the looks of it, you are eating EXTREMELY low calories, so likely, you will lose weight...then, you…

Who told you to eat more? You don't HAVE to do anything, including eating when you're not hungry. A lot of people on this site watch 19 yo girl after 19 yo girl try to lose weight quick on an 1100 calorie diet, it makes people quick to say "you need to eat more" - and sometimes you do. But if you're fulfilling your human…

This thread is really interesting to me. 3 nights a week of dinner social engagements is my MAXIMUM limit- meaning that after 3 invites, if people want to do something with me, I let them know I'll meet them after dinner, or at the movies, or gym, or I'll suggest going out for tea. To be locked in to 3 nights a week of…

i'll have to remember this thread for tomorrow- I expect reports @scolaris ;)

oooh i want to spread some pesto on that grilled cheese!

yip! @rabbitjb i tend to look to you as the indestructible maintenance woman! even superheroes lose their powers sometimes (spidey, ironman...all of em)

I see you don't have any friends on MFP, I find my friends super motivating! They comment on my posts with advice and answers to my questions, and like when I complete my diary entry for the day, its really motivating, plus I wonder how they are all doing so it keeps me coming back

Bah...I'm a public health student and I tend to love the juggernaut posts and while, yes...diet does have something to do with longer life spans...diet is really a very sexy, modern and tangible health topic and it would be hard to isolate diet as a major contributing factor to the lengthening of life spans...a lot of it…

I am SO excited for you, Costco is my FAVORITE. Walnuts, Pecans, Almonds, Pistachios Turkey Cold Cuts Turkey Burgers Salmon, Tilapia Corn Tortillas Spring Mix Boxes Tomatos Bell Peppers Sweet Potatos Egg Whites Canned Wild Alaskan Salmon (for salads) ...oh thanks you just made my grocery list for me!!!

I am 5'9.75 eating about 1500 a day, active to very active (workout, walk a lot)- I'm still exploring the science of my loss, i'm early in and think I'll likely up my intake soon.

eek. not a fun thing to figure. +1 marriage counseling +1 maybe it is not the right marriage and adding: motivational interviewing. If she brings up losing weight again, I would just say "I love you sweetie, but I would prefer you not talk about losing weight anymore. You've talked about it for many years and it doesn't…

I looked at your diary and it looks like you aren't much into logging your foods. The more information we have, the better able we can help. That being said, from what you DO log, it looks like you eat fairly light for breakfast and lunch. I've found making sure I have adequate calories and protein for breakfast and lunch…
-
I cycle. I have the same thing for breakfast every day for a week, then move on to the next thing every day for a week. I try to have similar calorie and protein goals for breakfast. Its kind of the same thing for all my meals- I eat one thing for like, a week, then I mix it up, cycle through. A lot of it for me comes down…

Lookin goooood girl! I have been at a little stall, so I just repeat to myself weightloss isn't linear!! It takes time. 3 weeks is nothing. It does look like your diet is a bit high in sodium- all the more reason to be holding on to a little extra water weight. Of course you have less to lose now so it is going to take…
-
I have never been able to successfully incorporate alcohol while losing healthfully- but I know LOTS of people that do!! It's CICO, for me, when I drink, I tend to eat all the thingz. You gotta find what works for you!

I am at 36 days! I feel awesome. There has been beer sitting in my fridge forever now and I worry it will go bad, but have decided that's not a good enough reason to drink! I'll have a sip sometime soon, but I'm feelin all the good feels you're feelin and it will take a special occasion to bring me back! :) cheers! *lifts…

Hey team of awesomes- thanks for this thread. I read a thread like this about once a week, but this morning I had my "oh no...I did everything perfect for two days and the scale is up :/" moment - and of course, here we all are together. OP- I'm right there with you. just repeat over and over "weight loss is not linear"…

protein and fat! I do lots of turkey and nuts!

rice cakes with peanut butter, nuts (1 oz), dried figs, medjool dates, baby carrots, frozen grapes, pop corn...

best chocolate substitute: chocolate. fit it in.

1200 calories is low if your exercising- stats- height weight age? goal weight?

I don't log in front of my friends, I don't think its kind to sit on my phone why we socialize. I take a picture of hte food and then go back and log it later if we are eating out together. That way, they cna't bug me about my habits, and I'm not being impolite with their time.
