Does anyone mind helping me with this? I'm 5'1, 182 and tired of being fat. I tried iifym unsuccessfully last year. I have a desk job and sleep 6-8 hours per day. Can someone help me?

Thanks for this thread. I'm currently going through this right now and my doctor has me working with a nutritionist to help find my triggers. I have been diagnosed for years. Occasionally, my monthly hormones would cause havoc to my body and no one knew why. They would just say take aleve or midol. I now know that Sara Lee…

I'm trying to get back to low carb. That is the only thing that has worked for me.

I ordered the DVD and I hope to officially start it one day this week but I'm using a video at dailymotion until it comes in.

I had a similar problem. We need to change shoes every 3-6 months depending on how many miles we're walking or running.

Thank you! I did this for two years and have it documented on fatsecret.com I couldn't understand what was wrong until I came here. I gained for a while but now I am back at my starting weight. I am still struggling with my love/hate relationship for food but MFP has made me understand the need to fuel. Thanks for sharing…

I remember my doctor told me to eat a lot of negative calorie foods in January when I had my physcial. LOL, I didn't listen to her.

Iron and Vitamin D should not be taken close together. It should be on your bottle of iron if its a prescription. I use to take prescription iron pills.

But Some People Claim You GAIN Weight in Starvation Mode? Starvation Mode itself will not cause weight gain. However, a combination of starvation mode, binges, and carb loading, can cause weight gain. Once the metabolism decreases, your energy requirements are lower. So you have to eat less just to maintain your current…

This thread reminded me that I'm due for my shot. I take it for the energy boost plus I am slightly anemic. The doctor told me to take them because I had a busy job. I have since switched jobs but still take them occassionally.

I just started and I think I just figured it out (for me). I started eating my BMR calories. That's the absolute lowest amount that I will eat. I suggest upping your calories to BMR for a week at least. If you exercise eat those back as well since you are set at sedentary. I hope this helps!

You seem happy in it; that's all that matters.

Y'all I need help! I was 163 but gained 2lbs due to TOM. I have my calories set at 1360 and I try to eat most of my exercise calories back. My BMR is 1377 according to MFP. I'm watching my sodium but why am I not losing weight? Please help!!!! I'm too short to be fat.

I need help! Any advice....coaching would definitely help.

Midol helps with water retention.

Congratulations! How did you record your workouts?

Thanks for posting! I can't seem to figure out what I need to do to lose weight. I was at fatsecret before this and it had me eating 1700 per day but no weight loss. I was suppose to eat 1200 to lose 2 lbs over here but I gained so I adjusted to eat my BMI of 1377. I am determined to lose this weight. How do you log raking…

Oh my goodness, I didn't expect y'all too respond. Wow, thanks!!
