I confirm that Implanon makes some people gaining weight. My doctor confirmed it, also. I lost 4 kg in 1 week after having it out, without any change on my way of eating. I didn't do diet because I was eating so few, that to decrease I wouldn't eat at all. I went also to a nutritionist that confirmed that it was Implanon…

I gained a lot of weight with the pregnancy and I did a big diet, followed by a nutritionist. I lost then 12 kg maybe (or more). I wasn't still at my old weight, before the pregnancy, but I was only missing very few. Then, I got Implanon and I had to be all time in diet and I started eating extremely few, or I would gain…

I am feeling so naive now (blushing). I got it! This is only a type of diet that you can follow and there is no scientific reason behind it that connects a specific diet with the blood type. Uffff! For me this is good news! Thanks everyone! You are great!

Yes, I was wondering if my low levels of Sodium were good or bad. I have been feeling extremely tired and I am trying to understand why. So, Sodium low level is good. Got it! Thanks!

I read a help post that the easiest was with tinypic. Choose a smaller size, like thumbnail or website size. http://tinypic.com/

Hi! I am turning 45 years old in October. I got a child with 39 years old and I gained a lot of weight then (around 20 kg). I have been struggling to get my old weight back, which I kept almost all my life (except another period of 2/3 years when I had my 1st child). So, I have been constantly on diet for more than 5…

I would love to be doing exercises outside, like mountains or beach side. Though, as I am Portuguese and living in the Netherlands, here there is no mountains or no beach (like in Portugal) and for me here is usually very cold for me to be outside. That's why I got the gym, that's the only place I can do workout and it is…

I am also cheap to spend money. Though, I need a watch. Here there is a shop Decathlon that has Sport Watches for less than 10 Euros. http://www.decathlon.co.uk/ontime-110s-digital-watch-id_8242989.html I love the idea that I my watch can be used in the swimming poll or in the beach, or just taking a shower. I lost my…

Hi! Very nice of you. I started in MFP 19 days ago, and some days before I had started the diet. I manage to loose around 1,5 kg and I would like to loose at least more 6 kg. Loosing my baby kg have been very hard, and at some point I lost them and I got them back. My child now has almost 6 years old, so not so much baby…

This answer just got elected as the best answer :flowerforyou: Thanks, everyone! You were all great! :heart: I will keep my coffee and I will avoid drinking together with my lunch, as suggested. :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: I also think wine at the dinner is very nice, and I still get a "zip" from the glass of my husband.

NO, the shopping doesn't count, even if they are 5 hours. I am also sedentary and my calories are also 1200. I am doing 10 minutes of cycling when going to the gym and I am not counting this. Usually is slow cycling and if I count them, I will gain weight LOL Maybe you should plan the shopping and don't overdo it. It seems…

I added Snacks AM and Snacks PM. So, it looks like: Breakfast Lunch Dinner Snacks AM Snacks PM Maybe I should change the order because Snacks AM is between Breakfast and Lunch, Snacks PM is betweens Lunch and Dinner. Though, snacks is for me an extra that should be a fruit or a drink but sometimes is something else. I like…

I hope you are still around to see the replies here. Thanks a lot for sharing your experience. A lot of people do that, so no way you are stupid. Or we all are. I also did that mistake, but my consequence is not so clear as yours. It is just hard now to loose weight, no matter what I eat and I feel frustrated. Your post…

I was even doing less than 1200 but the app said it was too low. I started 6 days ago. Then I was trying to do what the app was saying, so with exercise would be higher. Though, if I eat more than around 1300 even with exercise, I don't think my weight drops, at least as I would like. Conclusion: I am going to stick to…

This one doesn't work. I am divorced and I was taking care of those 2. Though there are some exceptional man that they don't like to have empty balls ;) or/and empty stomach LOL It's hard to keep a relation. Now, I am in a relation for 9 years and it felt good to be separated for some months. Living together isn't easy.…

Netherlands :wink: to say it is hard

Just sharing a nice diet funny quote and that's how I feel: "I've been dieting ALL morning. Am I skinny yet?"

Hi! I just started. I am looking for friends.
