I think I got some valuable truths from the forums. Like when I was told just to just go into my gyms weight room and don't worry about the big burly men in there. I did and it was great. :P I'm still very confused about things like TDEE and BMR and how many calories I can eat and still lose weight but one thing at a time.

Feel free to add me. I've have PCOS for a while now but it's getting to the point where I may need to have surgery for them. I don't know how I'll be during that but I'm going to try my best.

You have great willpower. I can't be around pizza yet without wanting to eat 2 to 3 slices. Over time I will be able to eat a portion of it. Congrats!

Just have to say thank you for this post. I'm learning more each day.

For me it's a diversion trick. When I feel something like a craving coming, or my habit to want to buy a giant bag of dorito's and down the whole thing I do something else. I play a video game. I read a book. I start a fight with my room mate. I go outside! Diversion seems to be working so far. And sometimes I get a little…

I can understand your problem. My office used to be the hub of snacks. I work at the reception desk and everyone comes here for their candies and cakes and stuff. I had it all moved upstairs to the kitchen. Maybe just see if they can move it.

So if Scooby puts me at 1759, should I be doing that instead of the 1200 cal?

5'6" and 33 year old female. , weighing in at 235lbs, currently eating 1230 Cals a day. I worry that I'm not eating enough.

This is what happened to me. I started retaining water at first and actually went up in a weight a little bit. And now I'm back to a slow and steady pace.

I repeated until I could do it comfortably.

I want to lift weights so badly but my gyms weight room is always full of buff men... I get so intimidated I flee back to the safety of my cardio. I do have some eight lbs I use at home but I know that's not enough. I need more nerve.

I weigh myself everyday. It's like a science experiment to see what affects my body and how. I try not to get caught up on the constant changes because I know that's normal.

Hey thanks for sharing this! It's going to save me so much time and I can even edit the recipes! woot.

I went to denny's with my family and ordered the fit breakfast. Egg whites, turkey bacon, some toast and some oatmeal. He went through my plate. First told me I shouldn't eat the bacon, I was going to die from pork. I had to tell him it was turkey. Then he told me I shouldn't have the eggs, I was going to die from…

It's one of the reasons joined MFP. I binge and wake up not knowin how it happened. Now I try to go for a run whenever I feel like I'm going to binge. I head away from the food. I'm going to join a semi expensive gym in the winter so I'm not trapped inside with my fridge.

Congrats! That's one of my mini goals too and it's great to see people achieving it!

It's tough but one step at a times. As I slowly lose weight I'm learning so many new things. Find something about it that makes you happy. For me it's the new recipes i'm discovering and the numbers I'm processing. Feel free to add me to. I'm over a 100lbs overweight and the journey should be made with friends :)

When I get sick I go the opposite way. My hunger goes away, and so does my thirst, so I end up forcing food and water down.

I'm so confused by all this. I set myself to sedatary on MFP because I work a desk job and it says I should eat around 1260 C a day, but based off http://www.fat2fitradio.com/tools/bmr it says I should eat about 1808 C a day being sedatary and that seems a little high for someone trying to lose weight. It also says my…

This is currently happening to me, but taking my measurements parts of my body are decreasing so I can be patient.

Oh my, that must be exactly how I look while running. I can't go to fast but I enjoy the hell out of it. Pop on a good audio book or podcast and I'm set for a little while. Slow and steady keeps me at a good pace where I don't feel like doubling over. First I had to learn how to breath and endurance came along with that. I…

In a way I can understand the restriction, I'm doing it myself while I learn portion control. When I feel like I can fit in the good stuff again I will, but I know that to have a long term good relationship with food you have to keep yourself open to all types.

I mainly just drink water, sparingly I have a cup of skim or soy milk but usually it's just water.

I eat a lot of fruit, it's my go to for snacking.

Yes, I have a measured water bottle from some healthcare fair that has oz and ml on it. So if I drink a whole bottle it equals 3 cups of water.

Thank you, I was really pushing myself to force it down, to the point where my pee turned almost clear. I'm relieved, again thank you.

Oh thank god, I hope mine go down.

General question, does your chest shrink with your weight?

I'm around the same as you OP and I've also been having a tough time finding a sports bra. I've been to every sports store in my area. I may give Ladygrace a try; either way thank you for creating this thread because I've been looking.
