why does everyone talk about only loosing water weight. I mean if you drink half your weight in oz of water a day (wich is a good rule of thumb) how do you loose only water weight. I need to look this up I think its a myth. Be happy about the weight you lost. Don't diminish it by calling it "only" water weight.

I am not always hungry and making smoothies helps me get extra protein and calories in. Peanut butter, banana and chocolate protein powder can help me get the added extra in especially when i am training for an event.

I was always told it was genetics and I "was just big boned" Loosing the weight proved otherwise.

If I have to get mc donalds food I always get their oatmeal. I also get egg white sandwiches from dunkin doughnuts

Great Keep up the good work!

Please feel free to vent and get things off your chest but as far as nutritional advice Don't listen to everyone in this forum. I have seen people tell you that you look great so its ok to be where you are when you are still underweight. You have made some great progress in gaining weight and you are almost to a healthy…

I do not think that some of the comments are meant to be hateful. at the OP's weight at this moment she is on the low side of a healthy BMI and that is awesome. Her profile says she has 3 more lbs to loose. If she looses one more lb she is still at the bottom of a healthy BMI. If she looses two more lbs she at the bottom…

Congratulations on taking the step to gain some weight. Continue to gain weight and try to silence the voices that are haunting you. Continue to seek out help and surround yourself with people who are good for you with positive lifestyles. Your body needs calories to live. Your organs and heart need calories to function. A…

This is extremely irresponsible to encourage someone with an eating disorder to maintain a BMI that is underweight. People who are underweight and not eating enough calories to live have issues with their bodies taking the necessary nutrients from their muscles and when there is not enough there then their hearts. People…

I was a nurses aid when I was in college and I had morbidly obese patients who were very difficult to help. I was diagnosed with Multiple sclerosis and I realized that when i needed help it would be very difficult for people to help me. I was scared into reevaluating my lifestyle.

Good luck! You can do this :D

Oh **** what did I get myself into...6 miles to my destination... 6 miles to get home damn have to keep going :D

You can get some of those calories back if you get out there and take a nice brisk walk :D Good luck. Give yourself a break. Try and be more mindful from this moment on :D

I am 41 and I lost a lot of weight?

a few lbs over two bloodhounds :D

As far as chicken I only eat the dark meat and it has had no negative effect on my weight loss or me maintaining it for 12 years

Love skinless chicken thighs and they do contain more iron. Dislike Chicken breasts no matter how tender people say they can get them I always think they are dry and tough even in the crock pot

My insurance company denied me this the excuse they made was that my family history did not go back enough generations! Its crazy they covered my skin removal but would not cover this!!!!

yes as in your body will hang on to fat while eating a deprivation. No as in if I go to long with out eating I want to eat everything in site :D

No insurance companies cover plastics unless you can prove its medically necessary. I was running long distances an it was killing my back. (they removed 25 lbs of extra skin) I had an orthopedist back me up and then insurance paid. Dermatologists also document rashes and skin breaking down. If you can prove necessity…

Agreed I still have loose skin on my arms and legs. Insurance does not cover that. but I would rather take my kids to Disney while they are still young. Maybe some day though :D

after a 200 lb weight loss I had to get my extra skin removed. Insurance covered a tummy tuck but I opted for a lower bod lift so Insurance paid 6k and I kicked in the other 7k

I met my husband in an instant chat. Been married over 15 years. We were not trying to hook up though. We just hit it off.

but they aren't as fun as others :smile:

full fat cheese, half and half, Fat free yogurt. I choose the lowest fat I can but won't sacrifice taste. Lite mayo or salad dressing but NOT fat free. It all comes down to how things taste

this tread is foolish let it die

eating disorders are disorders of the mind not diet

204 lbs

Op is stalling because they are very thin according to the Profile pic

OP profile pic shows a very thin woman. Why the hell would you go on a fad diet?
