  • Thanks for the link, I had not looked at those numbers. I see i should eating just over 1600 min a day. I'm still a little confused. As I eat better and better foods I don't know where I am so posed to get those calories. I could do nuts but it seems like when ever I tip the calories towards 2000 I start gaining. And…
  • I am eating what MFP says to. And a few days a week I do get more calories. I eat when I am hungry and do not feel tired or like I am deprived at all. I have always had a slower metabolism. And this lack of losing is making me feel like its not getting faster from the exercise. Also, i really shouldn't eat more protein and…
  • If I have gained 4 lbs in muscle in these last weeks I would be happy to not see so much on the scale... I wish I knew more about how muscle gain works. I'll look into it. Thanks!
  • I totally agree and have for 5 days or so done just that - ate more and thought I would come back and be ready to go again and lose fast. I lost about 3-4 lbs a week for weeks in the beginning. <--- done this a few times too! I guess I've lived with this weight for sooo long It's not gonna be a fast fix. Damn I so wanted…
  • I'm no expert, but are you over training? Maybe your body needs more rest? That is a lot of exercise and if you are also stressed you may have some fat storing hormones turned up high. I'd give a little time up working out, or just less intensity like power walk for 40min of whatever you are doing that's burning 400…
  • I think you could try to to eat fruits that are not to high, try berries. Bananas and pears are two of the highest fruits for raising blood sugar. Personally, I cant eat much sugar and lose weight at all. Also where else are you getting sugar? Starches act like sugar in the body too so watch that also.

  • Set healthy boundaries and if she can't stop crossing them let her know you need to disconnect. It's crazy hard but if you don't do this you may find that you have a way of drawing people in that treat you poorly. As an adult it is our responsibility to surround ourselves with support and not recreate the dysfunction we…
  • eliminate breads of any kind and pasta and eat way more salads. I lost 30 lbs in months this way with out exercise because I was recovering from an injury.
  • Goji -Chia -Nut -Balls, Paleo Friendly about 300 cals per ball and lots of super-foods!
  • Sounds like you have some real unsupportive people around you who like to see you hurt over your body issues. I wouldn't let them get off the hook... Either call em on it and they will learn not to disrespect you, or disassociate from them. People who have never lost any real weight have no idea how much work it is and not…

  • I think people either say weird things about weight loss because they are uncomfortable or unaware of the sensitivity of the subject. It also seems strange when people don't say anything after substantial loss> like no one wants to bring up how overweight you once were and might even still be. I have recently been told,…
  • I've been on a modified Paleo since I lost my weight. I would say the important take away from Paleo is learning about your reaction to sugar in the body. Like sugar from foods other than fresh fruit or veggies - those are ok (exclude starchy foods like potatoes, corn, beans, corn, grains, rice, dairy, of course anything…
  • Wow, you attracted a lot of flack over this post! So here is some advice OTHER THAN "go *kitten* yourself" :) I know its expensive but coconut water can be a real treat and very quenching for a sweet need. Make sure though you get the C2O, Amy & Brian's, Real coconut water, or any other that you might like. I didn't think…
