Starvation mode is generally considered a myth. If you seriously undereat, it can cause issues since as muscle loss, hair loss, etc. but that's to the extreme. We need a little more info here. What is the suggested caloric goal? Also, LadyIntrepid2 did kind of have a good point. How did you gain weight with a such a small…

I'm current 5'10'' and 220 (size 16w). At my thinnest, I was 147 and was a size 12. I'm a big girl so it's not really possible for me to go any smaller.

When I got to the point to where I didn't walk, I waddled.

"Oh baby. You're so hot and cheesy. How about removing your toppings for me?"

Yum! (with no meat) Tofu.

If you have GERD, be careful with eating a big meal before bed. Especially things with a lot of acid such as tomatos or orange juice. I speak from experience. I agree with everyone else with doing things like drinking whole milk, eating chicken with the skin on, cooking with olive oil, etc. You should concentrate on eating…

Be careful. I heard from Dr. Oz that red juice makes you fat. :wink:

I have two pairs of Hello Kitty slippers in size XL. Are they childish? Yes. Are they awesome? Hell yeah.

:love:

What about scissors (that's what my instructor calls them at least)? It's lower impact and instead of moving your legs out and in, you move them forward and back. You put one foot forward and one foot back, then jump and switch. I forgot to mention that you can do them as wide or narrow as you'd like. Obviously the…

Seriously. The world's your oyster! :) I would recommend being careful with the amount of fast food you consume though (especially in one day). All that grease will wreck havoc on your stomach. I can speak from personal experience on that one.

Peanut butter! If you really want to make it good, add powdered sugar and honey. If you absolutely don't feel like eating, maybe try one of those meal shakes instead. Those things are packed with calories and while they are meant for a meal, you can have them as a snack.

I ate a donut recently because I felt that I deserved it after working so hard for so long. My mom came over while I was eating it and said, "you are eating donuts now? You aren't going to gain all your weight back right?" COME ON. I JUST WANT ONE @#$#@% DONUT WITHOUT FEELING GUILTY ABOUT IT.

Dang dude, how big is your yard? lol

I believe there are free clinics you can check out. Or at least ones with lower fees. You should consider finding one in your area to check out that lump on your leg.

I have back problems, sciatica in my leg, plantar fasciitis in both feet, heart issues, and bad wrists. But I'll be damned if that will stop me from kicking butt. :laugh:

"You @#$% pizza! Why do you have to taste so #$%^ delicious!"

I'm on it right now. There's so many factors that I'm not really positive if it made me gain weight. I know Abilify did though.

Have a treat now and then. It won't kill you. As I like to say, there's no point losing weight if your sanity goes along with it.

I still fit into my size 18w and I've lost 45 pounds. However, I have a large frame and I've never worn under a size 12 (even at 5'10'' and 147 pounds).

I had a dream last night I was being attacked by a monster only to wake up to my cat attacking my feet.

I recently went 6 months and didn't lose a single pound. However, I lost 11 1/2 inches. Keep at it. The scale will catch up eventually.

I've lost 45 pounds and people still haven't noticed. I do though and that's what matters.

Excuse me while I get away from you. I don't want to be around when you spontaneously combust. lololol

A swimsuit! I've gone swimming once in 10 years because of my weight. The only reason I swam that one time was because it was midnight.

Not to mention they are covered in eyes. How creepy is that?

Looks like I have my dinner tonight! It would be good with these: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1331440-carrot-fries-seriously-good?hl=carrot+fries

Ha! Not only has diet soda caused my diabetes, it crashed my car, spent all my money, and slept with my ex. DIET SODA IS THE DEVIL. :O

Well, I disagree about soda not being bad for your teeth. I was an avid soda drinker and I've started to dissolve my teeth because of it. They are sort of translucent and when I went to the dentist, she scraped them to show how "crunchy" they sounded. She said that it was all because of the amount of soda I drank.…

I got another one that I use when I'm super lazy. I dump a can of black beans, corn, peppers, and tomato sauce into a saucepan. I add chili powder, cumin, salt, paprika, and whatever else I feel like at the time. You can either serve it over a tortilla in a bowl and cover it with cheese or just eat it plain.
