I saw a professional dietician a few years ago when I had another round of blood clots due to having what is called thrombophillia. She was to help me figure out what foods were too high in vitamin K because it thickens the blood. Anyway, while we were at it she did my BMR and talked to me about how she would never, ever…

I use the 1800 calorie guide on MFP but because of exercise and so on I can sometimes eat even more than that. I am of course on a long haul plan, 87 pounds lost of 238 I need to lose. So I've been at this a while. As long as you work off what you eat you can eat higher calorie amounts and FEEL good. I can't believe how…

I was close to 400 myself so I SO understand where you are coming from! I was 387 when I started to lose weight 21 months ago. I've lost 87 pounds which to most people is SO impressive. The problem is, having another 150-155 to go. It's HARD to stick with it for so long. It's hard to hit a plateau and know you either have…

Feel free to add me. I just started here and have only 1 friend on here so far. :) I have a huge goal, I've lost 87 pounds and have 155 to go to reach goal. I just joined here last week to help track my food and exercise a little easier than by hand as I have done the last 21 months. .

Mine do this too especially when walking down stairs, not so much when I walk up or on a flat grade but up mine click. I told my husband it sounds like I have rice krispies in my knees! I haven't found anything saying it's anything to worry about really. I was told snapping and clicking or pops are air bubbles. Not sure…

I have over an hour commute to work and so I understand your pain. Also I can't have eggs so a lot of breakfast foods just went out the window. Here is what I eat. 1 cup low fat yogurt 1/2 cup frozen blueberries (I pop them in the microwave for 30 seconds and they defrost) 1/4 cup Fiber One Bran Cereal or Cherrios Or Low…

You said "I even count my chips and nuts" Not meaning to sound like a know it all but are you also accounting for the sodium? Sodium can sometimes cause plateaus according to my dietician. I had to go to her after a hospitalization several years ago when I found out I had thrombophillia. We had to cut out entire types of…

I'm new here but have been working to lose for 21 months on my own before joining here this past week mostly to track my calories easier than having to write it all down by hand each day. I'm concerned though about you not having lost *anything* despite all your hard work! How frustrating that must be for you! I truly am…

I just joined here but in the last 21 months I've lost 87 of the 238 pounds I'm trying to lose. I have not been weighing my food. I do count and measure but I don't mess with weighing everything. I have tried to do the weighing but it just seems a waste of time to me. I do carefully measure though. If a recipe says 8…

Don't be too strict. Allow yourself occasional splurges so you don't get uncontrollable cravings and go nuts the next time someone brings donuts to work! Seriously. Keep track of everything and when you see you have some extra calories because you had a light lunch and dinner was a salad because you were too tired to do…

Yep. I'm new here, started out at 387 pounds 21 months ago. Hit my first "mini goal" this week at 299 pounds. I joined here to help me narrow my diet down more so I can continue losing, the last few months have been very slow compared to 4 months ago. So I am watching what I eat much more closely starting this week. I have…
