There really isn't a hard and fast rule, but more skin is usually better whenever it's warm enough for it. Think skirts, dresses, form-fitting clothes, spaghetti straps, *kitten*-hugging jeans, heels of some sort, hair probably long and down or well-coiffed, no more makeup than you feel like you need (some girls don't need…

Bump

Okay, seriously, don't drink epic quantities of water without increasing your electrolytes accordingly. You need extra salt to make up for it, also extra potassium and magnesium. Eat a banana or three... I woke up with what I normally think of as a dehydration headache, seems to be going away after having a banana and a…

My mother was never able to have meaningful success losing weight until she cut out gluten, like she'd eat 1200 calories a day and not lose any at all, or hardly any. It made a world of difference for her, and cleared her brain fog and headaches considerably as well. Anyway, there are a number of different medical…

Nuts are a totally good thing when you're under and don't want to eat a bunch of food and it's the end of the day. You can get 300+ calories in just a couple ounces of almonds or cashews, like two medium handfuls. Also, if you need more calories, it's usually easier to pack it on throughout the day. Put some cheese on your…

**** your mother. Not literally, that's sick, but I mean that's a messed up way to talk to your kids, just cruel. How do you fix your brain? Slowly, in fits and starts, same as losing weight. Learn to meditate, and do it every day for as long as you can handle. Notice what you say to yourself inside your head, particularly…

Yeah, I don't get it in my big toe like a lot of people, it's all through my right ankle and my left foot a couple inches back from the piggy that had none. :-P It's not always the same foot, and usually isn't both feet at the same time. Yesterday I took my indomethacin and wound up drinking a lot of water, and woke up…

The main thing you need to address is your depression over your entire life plan collapsing in a pile of metaphorical and literal rubble. If you're too rural to get free counseling anywhere, you're gonna have to learn to overcome it yourself. You had best learn to meditate, and do it every single day. This will help…

I lost a lot of weight eating at Subway for lunch. I'd restrict myself to ordering 500 calories worth of food, and get whatever I wanted while I was there within that limit. Seemed to go just fine. Chipotle also has good options, you can get a burrito bowl with chicken and peppers and onions and beans and hella salsa, and…

Protein is extremely filling, and lasts for hours and hours, though I don't like protein shakes and try to get my protein from meat and eggs and dairy and nuts. As for fat, one good way is to stir fry your veggies instead of steaming them. A tablespoon of olive oil gives you like 100 calories of fat and with a couple…

I think it's ****ty that we take fat as an insult meaning unattractive. When I was really enormous (like 450 lbs enormous), I was still able to get laid sometimes, by young smart pretty women no less, but it was only when I was able to convince myself that I was attractive and in love with life and out to enjoy every one…

Don't give up, mix it up! Eat for maintenance for a week, or zig zag your calories for a week between maintenance and restricted. Try cutting out most of your carbs. Go gluten free for a couple weeks. If you're not already eating totally clean, give that a go for a while. Add in some serious strength training 3x a week for…

I hate to admit it, but even in the last year I've been known to eat two entire medium pizzas in the span of a couple hours. Or a big bag of doritos AND a big bag of combos AND a bag of peanuts. Eat a meal at McDonald's and then stop and buy a couple bags of chips on the way home to eat immediately. Or I'd eat a family…

i've found I feel really bad after a few days if I don't get at least 20% of my calories from protein and 30% from fat. Given that you're drinking a lot of water (more than 12 cups a day, hopefully), and getting enough calories and enough carbs, that's where I'd look first. A LOT of vegetarians feel bad because they don't…

That is a situation where I would have gotten real confrontational real quick. Calling me a liar is fighting words, and I wouldn't put up with it. I'm white, but I'd also take serious offense at the racist bull****. That's not okay, and her boss needs to hear about it. Might want to find yourself a doctor review website to…

I dunno, I don't take them, and obviously taking diet pills without fixing your maintenance eating habits isn't going to do anything for you long term, but I don't see anything wrong with taking it for a while, or restrictive diets or whatever. Just because this is the healthiest way to go doesn't mean it's the only one…

It's probably fine. I wouldn't worry too much about any of the fine details unless your weight loss isn't working or stops working. If your goal is 1200 a day, you should try to get closer to your goal, otherwise it's almost certainly fine.

Don't bother with any sort of body fat % measurement device, get it professionally done. Pinchers obviously aren't gonna do anything for you if you've lost more than 30-40 lbs, because your skin is still there. The ones that measure electrical conductivity (like the handheld ones and the ones built into the scale) are…

I'd like to echo the fact that not only does your body change day to day according to whether you're retaining more or less water, but the vast majority of bathroom scales just AREN'T THAT ACCURATE. Weigh yourself 5 times in a row, see what sort of range it gives you. The last scale I bought couldn't decide what I weighed…

Eat what you want. If you want faster results, cut your carbs way back. LOTS of people have problems with gluten and don't even know it, so if your diet isn't working eating what you want, go without for a couple weeks, see if it jump starts your weight loss. Also, carbs don't do enough to keep you full between meals, so…

Anyone else got a story? I'd love to hear it...

Big handful of nuts and a couple rice cakes is a go-to for me, though you could probably eat hummus and veggies until you were practically sick and not go over 400 calories...

I tried it for a couple weeks. By the end I felt so bad I didn't want to eat anything at all. It was AWFUL, head swimming, nauseous, depressive, trouble thinking or concentrating, and it just got worse day by day. I don't know if I was feeling that way because I was starving or because of the diet, and I don't care if I…

How about some nice immature comeback lines? Well, you may be skinnier than I am, but you're a much bigger *kitten*. Wow, I'm a lucky girl. Lucky I found out what a *kitten* you are on the first date! I'm sorry, what was that? I was distracted by your bald spot. It probably wouldn't be such a big problem if you were…

I had a little baby fat as a kid, but I've been seriously overweight since I was about 11 years old. I managed to go from 13 to 16 without gaining much, just 240-260, while growing over a foot in that time. Then I started managing my own food intake rather than eating what was put in front of me, which I responded to by…

From the replies so far, It seems like there's several solutions that have worked for people: 1. Eat what you want but keep it limited to small portions that can fit in your diet. 2. Eat well most of the time but give yourself a treat every now and again. 3. Replace it with similar but healthier choices that you can have…

I stand behind my posts, as they were carefully considered and are based on in-depth study of the subject. Hallucinogens are illegal for a reason, but it's not at all because they have no medical use, and even the most cursory study of the literature will reveal that. There are hundreds, perhaps even thousands of licensed…

I usually don't. The main thing about eating fast food (or bar food) is that the amount of fullness you get from the calories you eat is extremely low. So if I have 600 calories to eat in a meal, I can have like two little cheeseburgers. OR I can have a massive salad with nuts and cheese and dressing, or a big honkin…

I can't say it's at all healthy, but you can always hold it until you're dancing, just for a couple weeks, and stretch out your bladder... :-P

There's another hallucinogen therapy that's perhaps the most powerful and helpful of all of them, but it's absolutely not something you can do on your own with a loved one for a couple bucks. Do a google search for ibogaine therapy. In short, it's an entire day where you go through the worst trip of your life, confronting…
