is breathing causing me harm?

this thread soooo makes me miss being a vegetarian!!! yum!! anybody have any idea how to get a really high protein and iron count while being a vegetarian??? inbox me!

No I havent measured in about two weeks. I measured when I first realized my pants felt more loose. It was weird that my pants were sliding around a bit. I didnt want to say anything to anyone though, didnt want to jinx it lol.

I made it through the first round of prednisone in january and actually had a bit of weight loss ha! I hope I dont have to have it again. I would love to weigh naked but I think that wouldnt go over well with my doctor rofl!!

lol looks like I need to start a losing weight fund rofl.

I think you are misunderstanding. they are not saying being a woman doesnt matter, they are saying that just because I am a woman doesnt mean that 2000 calories is too much for me. gender and several other things are included in deciding how many calories a person eats. but it is possible for a woman to need more calories…

I hope to get to my regular scale this week. I actually cant wait. I did a water fast for 24 hours. hope that doesnt throw me off. too badly.

I keep hearing about HRM I need to get one. I guess I never knew losing weight would require so much equipment that isnt exercise related lol.

MFP had me at a 2060 to lose 1 pound a week. and that is with a 500 calorie deficit a day. when I first began I was on the 2 pounds a week plan.

bad thing about this is that these are the symptoms I presented with when I initially went to the doctor and when the medicine wasnt working they would not change my doses. three doctors total as of now. two primary care and two endos.

I upped my calories after going months with no results on a lower calories. I did some research and many people had success when they upped their calories.

I can not agree with you on any of that. It all goes by the weight of the person. if a teenager was bigger their maintenance would be higher as well. A person adult or not of my size 291 pounds is not going to have the same caloric intake requirements for their calories. if age were the only thing that matters you would…

Thats exactly what I thought. Im 27 lol. I prefer to keep my diary closed sorry. I know it would probably help everyone give advice easier. well I have been on MFP since almost mid december. I am just now having to do a bunch of adjusting

It was hard to not eat. I would catch myself at the fridge having a pep talk with myself lol. something like this " you know you are not really going to be able to help the hunger pains even though you just ate, so just go do something else...." I kinda decided that I wasnt going to let being sick slow me down completely…

I am going to add you of course lol. I would like to follow your journey. I am interested to see how it turns out! good luck!

I totally agree. I have really restricted my intake of processed foods. I say restricted because I had a bit of bread this week. that hasnt happened very often though. but I have been making a really conscious effort to not eat anything that is prepackaged. But I did have some deli meat and chicken sausage and frozen…

I am only using a resistance band for exercise right now. My cardio was making me feel worse. plus, I get really dizzy all the time as it is. just got harder when I work out. I have been trying to wait it out. but it has been over a month. but I am only surprised because it took me about three months to lose 6 pounds on…

I am hoping to try to control it naturally. I cannot find a doctor that will give me the meds I need at the proper dose. they dont care if I still feel bad. but since I am barely in the "abnormal" range they assume a small dose will be all that I need. What kind of things happen if you have thyroid distress, if you dont…

never heard of cycling. May have to implement that. are you on meds? Im not on anything. my doctors would never put me on a dose that actually changed the way I felt, so after a several times of doing low doses for several months I quit taking them. the journal thing is something I been thinking about doing. so far I have…

abbezen you look super sweet in the pic with that innocent smile!

I was really worried about measuring when I first started. I wasnt eating meat then so it was a bit easier to measure then. Plus I was eating a lot of prepackaged foods so that it would be easier to log my food. but now that I am eating more clean foods and preparing my own meals I have a real problem trying to measure out…

thanks you two! I hope to get a food scale just to be more accurate. and I will be patient I promise. I am really focused on feeling better. but I am sticking with my calories as much as possible in hopes of losing weight to help the other aspects of my health as well. how healthy can I be at this weight right?…

I will tell you that my eating wasnt as healthy as it has been recently. I was simply eating what I wanted to and staying in my calorie allowance. I have always been a water drinker though. but now I have been eating more fruits and vegetables and more complex carbs. I had lowered my carb intake and try to eat more…

well this is the first time I weighed in about a month, because I upped my calories, I was told to be patient it takes a while before your body adjusts. plus I dont weight during TOM. and I normally only weigh once a month (no scale at home) so I go to my doctors office. During the time that I did lose was right after…

I am certainly trying. I now have to make sure that I am even eating the correct amount of calories. because I have had issues moving the scale even when I was exercising....so I am going to keep researching and figure it out.

Ok I think what a few of you are misunderstanding is that I am not 180 pounds. I am 291. that means that even maintenance for me would be higher than yours if you are a lot smaller than me. as I lose pounds the amount of calories I can intake will drop accordingly. there are many other ways to calculate how much to eat,…

also I weighed once without shoes and once with shoes...it gave me the same weight with shoes. shouldnt it have been a bit different with those on.

thanks for the link! and I normally weigh on the scale at the doctors office. It is the analog scale with the parts you move by hand. I like that kind better. the one I weighed on today was an digital one In the hall of the hospital. I hope the scale is off. I feel like my pants are more loose than before.

ok I am 27. I am 5.5 feet tall I weight 291 ( according to the scale today) I havent worked out much the last few weeks. I have been pretty sick...hence the 3 weeks of prednisone and month and a half of antibiotics. I have done a bit of working with my resistance band when I felt ok and a little bit of wall push ups and…

Once there lived a prince and a troll that liked pumpkins that were bumpy. They sold seeds to elves for pickles because their
