I didn't read through the whole post so if someone already I said this, I apologize for the redundancy: On the topic of eating "low fat", are you eating a lot of pre-made products labeled as "low fat"? I am the last person here that's going to demonize "processed foods" or convenience foods because I love them, but I've…

Therapy, please. In the interim, keep a log (one you can keep in your bag, not mfp) where you can jot down the times of your meals, what you ate, and how you were feeling before, during, and after the meal, any stressors or events that may have preceded the meal. Don't get bogged down by calories. Maybe this can help you…

Overweight women have "hijacked the media"? Do you watch any media? And what's your problem with overweight people who don't hate themselves? Yikes.

:( I appreciate it. I've just been sensitive due to some comments lately about how I've lost my curves. I've definitely lost most of what I had on my chest.

I was a smallish hourglass shape before I lost weight and now I'm the shape of a 16 year old boy. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

People losing 100lbs in the same time it took you to lose that 55lbs or so weren't "more serious", they simply had different goals. It sounds like both of you were as serious as the other to reach your individual goals.

I'll drink coconut water if it's flavored with pineapple or something that might mask the overwhelming coconutty flavor. Therefore, I rarely do. It's too expensive, and it tastes like toe juice.

Instead of ditching your friend, why not incentivize her into being more active with you? Make it a competition? Maybe, *gasp* encourage her gently towards pushing her limits?

Tell me about it! I keep going up the same 2-3 lbs from my lowest recorded weight at 119.5. I want to go down to 115 but at this point lowering my calories further feels like the biggest pain in the butt! Even eating at maintenance for 120lbs makes me feel a little crazy!

I was definitely bullied as a kid. I was an ugly duckling: small, tubby, braces, frizzy hair, unibrow, and a total teachers pet and bookworm. The bullying only got worse because I would always talk back and be a smartass in self-defense. I've been beat up by several girls at a time, had things stolen from me, some boys…

I once stepped on a treadmill that was still running. I didn't realize because #1, was blasting my music too loud and #2, I didn't look down. Well, eventually I had no choice but to look down, I was on the floor with bloody shins. I immediately got up and shame-ran 3 miles before I calmly walked out, back to my car, and…

Coconut oil is great for many things, including cooking, but adding more calories into your diet daily will only result in a gain. If you do include it in your diet, make sure you log every last gram of it, considering how it fits into your daily caloric intake.
-
I log in less now than I used to because I'm pretty much where I had set my goal last year. I log my food here and there, keep track of my weight, and if I start trending towards a gain, I tighten up my logging. Before that, when I was working hard towards losing, I was on top of every morsel.
-
In general, if I don't eat enough, I can sometimes experience some pretty intense Hangry mood swings that, at very worst, become crying fits of frustration. You may do well to recalculate your goals. Scooby's Workshop calorie calculator has yet to steer me in the wrong direction. The numbers given I believe are pretty…

5'4-ish, 120lbs, size small tops, somewhere between a small and a medium, 26inch waist on jeans which translates to what size??? I don't know.
-
Yup. Right before my period, I can swing up an extra 3-5 lbs. It comes off pretty shortly thereafter.
-
I've been on birth control for about 10 years now. It hasn't directly affected my weight gains, losses, or maintenance. I do find that I can swing up to five lbs the days before my period, but that's just water weight.
-
This is the truest thing ever.
-
Usually the conversation starts because they know I've lost a significant amount of weight, and they'll ask for my opinion on everything from wraps, waist trainers, detoxing, juicing, fasting, diet pills, teas, etc, etc. I'll give my honest answer and if they don't accept it, I move on.
-
I'm curious to know if you've maintained that loss.
-
Hardly anything. I lost maybe 2 lbs tops, but that was before I started using and understanding MFP.

From the sounds of it she's doing both the giving and the taking. She's working hard to take care of herself and the person she loves, and she's taking his verbal jabs while he continues to fight change.
-
Seriously! He's a grown man and if he's going to throw a tantrum over "healthy" food, he can cook his own food, continue on the path he's on, and leave her to take care of herself in peace. His behavior is the one that needs to be checked, not hers.
