If you are playing the game of trying to impress people to get sex, insecurity is an integral part of it. Maybe it is time for you to have some more mature goals.

I don't think you need to always weigh everything. But weighing everything for a few weeks taught me how delusional my rough estimates had been. Since then my guesstimates have been far more accurate

At least in the beginning, precise weighing is important. When you feel ready to start tackling other nutrient issues go for it. But you can also do one thing at a time.

That's definitely an error because they don't go under 1000 ever when it is working normally.

I am happy for anyone to add me.

I would not worry about any single day. It is normal to have low or high appetite for a day or two. See if it lasts before paying much attention to these things.

Anything is possible but I suggest having a bit of a fruit and vegetable adventure -- try some of those recipes for kids where the Veges are "hidden".

I don't think you can generalize, or that it is a competition.

I think that if you are stuck to a calorie limit it will naturally squeeze out excess sugar as you want to "spend" those calories on things that get rid of hunger

You can buy them by the box from Amazon for less.

The paper does not say marijuana causes weight loss, it says fewer marijuana users are obese than non-users. http://aje.oxfordjournals.org/content/early/2011/08/24/aje.kwr200.abstract But there people who not randomly assigned to smoke grass or not. The odds are that the smoking group have significant medical and cultural…

Even if you believe the 'meat is killing you' hype, and think it applies to moderate intake, it is not the protein that is the issue

So... Is OP assuming no one reads the ingredients on processed food and so will be shocked to learn what they are? Or are they assuming we don't have our own perspective on those ingredients and so will believe a pile of ranting and scaremongering as gospel? Either way: nope.

if you can manage dog daycare the dog has a ball. Mine would probably rather live there full time.

Keep a supply of your own food (not just one meal) and follow grandmas lead by putting your name on it and the date it should be kept until.

I lost 20 pounds in 3 and a half months.

Regardless of what some expert might say, if you are not losing weight after several months on however many calories you are eating and these are being accurately logged, you will need to drop that number a bit to start losing again. Nothing in a textbook trumps what your body is actually doing.

So why not discuss how to acheive what you both want? Like investing in home equipment, or going to the gym together.

I think ketchup is pretty high calorie. or maybe I just use too much of it....

If someone has a moko (Maori facial tattoo) I would be pretty ignorant to hold that against them. So I will tend not to assume people do any major body modification unless it is personally significant to them.

So OP is complaining that when someone asked for weight loss advice, and she gave them irrelevant cleaning eating advice, this advice was pointed out as being irrelevant. And this was wrong because...?

Then see a better doctor who will stick with it until they get a diagnosis.

Questbar protein is not some lab chemical, it is from milk. They also use stevia and the closest to a chemical would be sucralose. I consider them refined but not artificial products.

Digital scales are really all very similar. Just make sure they have the right range and are accurate to the gram.

So long as the snacks are not right in your cubicle/office/whatever I think they are a non-issue.

I would rather use the pedometer. I just need to work out what rate to credit it at. It has been working great for me so I just need to find a method to use until they fix the glitch.

I am on 1200 calories and have a glass of wine every few days within that limit. I don't keep a lot in the house to avoid getting carried away and buy single serve containers.

You could just change your setting to "sedentary" and continue as usual?
