Love it!

I like to consider myself a gender fluid bisexual. I'm girly on the outside, feel more masculine on the inside, and prefer men AND women. My lifelong friend is Female to Male and has been taking testosterone for years. He's had a major breast reduction, but I don't think he has any interest in "completing" the transition.…

I gained 20lbs during pregnancy... and 30lbs AFTER LOL... seriously. I was 270 (ALREADY overweight) before conception, around 300 +/- after, and about 320 a few months after that lol And that is why I'm here. I want to have another baby, but NOT before I lose this damned weight!

In Hawai'i, we call this "Hawaiian Paralysis". But when we came to the mainland, we learned that it was actually called Diabetes lol I'm sure that's not the case for everyone, but yes... my entire family suffers from this. No matter what I eat, if it's clean, nutrient dense foods or high carb/ fatty foods, it don't…

Exercise. As much as I wish it gave me energy, instead it just makes me tired as hell lol Or... >Short, slow walk around the block >Hot bath w/ Lavender soap and/or candles >Tea or warm milk with toast and peanut butter (or any small combination of protein/carbs) >Lay down and rest. >Sleep, hopefully. In that order. lol…

Um... eat the same things you'd eat if you WEREN'T on your period? What does your menstrual have to do with the types of foods you eat? The only reason you'd gain the 5lbs and KEEP it on even after your period is over is because you over eat by 17,500 calories. My suggestion: Stop over eating. Stick to fruits and…

I feel the products are DISGUSTING. Just as the previous poster said, it's just jars full of chemicals, and the couple that I HAVE tried taste like *kitten*. Matter of fact, I think I prefer *kitten* over Walden Farms products. If it works for you, go for it. ;) Love and Alohas, Ihilani Kapuniai

That sounds AWESOME!
-
Uummmm *stammers* Of course not! This is the low calorie version, dontcha know??? LOL JK... put ice cream mixture in small bag. THEN put small bag in big bag. And voila. ;) Thanks for pointing that out lol
-
I used to NEVER eat breakfast. I'd wake up anytime between 6am and 11am (depending on work schedule) and I would usually wait until maybe 12pm-2pm to have something. However, I noticed that I get hungrier when I do that... which could be why I've had so much problems with weight loss (or lack thereof) in the past. My…

Yogurt. It has healthy bacteria that could help with whatever issue your tummy might be having. Also agree with sprite and crackers.

My thoughts exactly.

Good question. Fish oil pills? Omegy 3/6 fatty acids maybe?
-
Sugar alcohol is partly sugar, and partly not lol Here's what I found in Wikipedia, incase you're interested in the chemical structure and such: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sugar_alcohol Personally, I LOVE erythritol (Truvia) - To me it's the one that looks the most and, more importantly, tastes the most like sugar - I…

The "One large ziplock baggie, one small ziplock baggie and rock salt" machine is pretty inexpensive. And you can get a good work out. ;) 1. Put rock salt (couple cups) in large ziplock bag. 2. Put ice cream mix or what have you in small bag. 3. Put small bag in large bag. 4. Shake, throw or toss bag around for 10 minutes…

I don't think it would hurt, but there's really no REAL use for it unless you have stomach/intestinal issues, or (like me, unfortunately) frequent yeast infections. Personally, instead of wasting the money on probiotic I prefer to buy yogurt that contains the good bacteria/"live cultures". But, like I said, if you have…
-
Omg this is one of the hardest things in the world for me! I always told myself "Ok, NO treats", cause I thought that maybe cutting them out completely would help me maybe get rid of (or at least drastically lessen) my sugar/carb cravings... if you're able to keep up with that, go for it, it may help... personally for me,…
-
My favorite thing to do is go to any store/market that sells spices by the bulk and buy a ton of different spices. I recently bought about 6 or 7 different kinds of rubs and marinades and loved each and every one of them. Also, another favorite of mine is teriyaki chicken. Marinate the chicken overnight in equal parts…

I doubt you're in starvation mode. Those words are thrown around too much. If you're having a hard time reaching your calorie goal and you're constantly under, eat foods higher in calories/fats. Avocado, nuts/nut butters, protein bars/shakes. Hell, eat some ice cream. You'll be alright.
-
Yes. Burger King, Pizza Hut and Vodka is a sure way to gain weight!! IF you eat over your calories. :) If you've stayed within your calorie range, you'll be fine. Being over or under your macros/micros doesn't affect you as much being over your calories does! So as long as you're within calories, you'll be ok. Love and…

Yawning IS typically a strong indicator that you aren't getting enough oxygen. Do you wake up earlier than usual to work out? Do you force yourself to workout even though you're already exhausted from either waking up too early to workout or just from a long day? Those are the only other reasons I could think of as to why…
-
I'm kinda curious about this too. I've never believed in hypnosis, but I know someone who claims it somehow helped their appetite, or at least helped them to realize they weren't really hungry.
-
Yep, I'm currently 318 (heaviest was 328) and I'd like to ultimately get down to 200lbs. My short term goal right now is 299, so I've got 19lbs... I'm hoping to reach it before Halloween! Anyone in the same boat is free to add me! Love and Alohas, Ihilani Kapuniai

I'm 25 y/o, currently 318lbs (heaviest = 328lbs). My long term goal is to get down to about 200lbs. I'm 6'1", and when I was 14 I was 185, which was too skinny for me - I think 200 would be perfect. That way I'll still have my curves ;) My short term goal right now is to get to 299... I haven't been under 300lbs in years!…

It's a good opportunity to exercise your willpower and just say NO! :)
-
Hell to the NO, that's about 9 or 10 hours PER DAY of high intensity exercise for me... and I'm over 300lbs, I burn a lot more calories than average peeps, so 600 cals per hour is typical when I'm doing high intensity *kitten*... so that's a big NO for me, but kudos to you and your friend! Wish you the best of luck... stay…

Berries are always a good choice. Dark chocolate: definite YAY!

I LOVE chocolate covered katie... she's got some great ideas, and the ones I've tired so far didn't disappoint.
-
Meh. Waste of time and money.
-
Thank you both for your replies. With enough research (using "stevia" and "erythritol" instead of "truvia"), I was able to find the answer - looks like it isn't going to work lol freeasharold - Agave nectar, really?? I've never tried it... I'll have to look into that. If anything, I'll just have to cut way back on the…
