I'm not going to read 11 pages of replies so I'll just say that there are probably a lot of women with PCOS who don't know they have it, and carbs are an issue. There are also people who are gluten intolerant and don't know it. Both of these are alleviated by lower carbs, or just type of carb you consume. Whatever works…

People just can't resist writing insults and stupid comments that have nothing to do with the question. Hopefully you get some real response to your questions. I'm curious also about Belviq so I'll watch for answers. (Have not tried either of them)

My streak is over 1000 days.. I'd say I'm pretty addicted :)

Once Bitten Twice Shy Talk Dirty To Me Anything... Def Leppard, Poison, Skynyrd -- loved the 80's music!

It is a HIGHLY Viable solution for someone with diabetes as well. I was not "fat enough" to have gastric bypass on my own (5'4" and 270 isn't fat enough? Whatever) ---- I got approved because my diabetes was getting worse no matter what we tried to correct it. To get approved these days you have to jump through hoops, many…

I had gastric bypass 5 years ago and it saved my life. I am no longer diabetic, I no longer take statins, I joined a gym. I do the 3-Day (60 mile breast cancer walk) every year, I sign up for 5K's, most of my friends now are from the gym, eat healthy, are fitbit friends, or friends here too. My diabetes was reversed…

My new favorite is Zulily --- they have some great deals. Otherwise I mostly use Target and TJMaxx --- or the outlet mall for Athleta, UnderArmour etc.

You find out from going to get your yearly physical and having your labs done :)

What a body needs will vary greatly person to person... get your labs done, see how your numbers are. You can have all of those things checked. You'll need different things also based on age, if you had surgery, diet etc. I have my labs done twice a year .. I have always been iron deficient so I take 60mg a day nd was told…

1. Fix your macros .. the default MFP macros are backwards for most people. You protein should be much higher than carbs .. especially since your carbs are almost all the bad kind. 2. Bring a protein shake or healthier food to work 3. Skip the buns/fries 4. Get a good HRM with a chest strap so your calorie burn is more…

My little guy is Louie --- but for some reason, I usually call him booboo or bubba.

Dannon Light&Fit Greek Yogurt (lowest sugar and yummy - lower than Chobani) Fage 0% greek (for cooking substitute like sour cream, making dips or dressing) Avocado Eggs Mushrooms Onions Cauliflower (mashed, cauli-fried rice etc) Tofu BACON (yeah, I'm not vegetarian)

If these felt me up, I would buy them more often :p

Ditto these two for the same reasons... glad I upgrade my FT7 to the FT60. In all honestly, I usually just wear my fitbit these days.

Just had to put my 2cents... I personally think Optimum Gold is one of the worst tasting and nastiest smelling proteins out there. Yuck 100%. So many better ones. Depending on what kind of stats you're looking for... tons of options and tons of places to order samples. My macros here are 45% protein, 25% carb, 30% fat so…

I remember the days when "gamer" meant you actually played online games, mmoprg etc... Not solitaire and candy crush on your phone :) Does anyone remember BBS games like Mutants, Kyrandia, Trade Wars? DIKU MUDs? (text based) Meridian 59? Ultima Online? That was gaming :0

I know what 5:2 is ... but what is "IF" that several people referred to?

They are all just stoned :p

Make your own... none of this pre-made stuff...yuck! If you're concerned about ingredients and quality ... my two favorites are: Nutrabio and About Time -- both pure whey isolate, gluten free, lactose free, gmo free, low/no carb sugar.. I just bought 8 lbs of Nutrabio (120 servings) for the cost of 30 servings of…

Your situation is completely different....this is perfectly normal for 8 weeks post RNY. You are also not getting enough nutrients from food alone and should be taking quite a few supplements to ensure you get them since you don't absorb them as well from food. You are likely (hopefully) adding protein shakes as well as…

Your situation is completely different....this is perfectly normal for 8 weeks post RNY. This is not good advise for someone who is not ..

One more tittle tip :) I see from your diary that you are a coffee fan! A great way you could up your protein would be this: - Buy a 24oz blender bottle (about $7 at Target or GNC) - Fill with 2 cups cold coffee (I used decaf) - 1 cup almond milk - 1 scoop chocolate protein powder - 2 tbsp sugar free coffee creamer…

Couple comments to the already stated... 1. MFP sets your default macros pretty crazy... for me, they were almost backwards of what I wanted and what I know works for me... I do best on high protein, medium fat, lower carb diets... MFP cranks up the carbs and cuts the protein -- but you can change them. I have mine at 40%…

I usually go to zumba, or kickboxing and pretend its his face I'm punching/kicking. Plus the music is really loud so I also scream obscenities at him.. it feels great :) I'm not even having a breakup.. I am just wasting time with a *kitten* I know I should dump.

Reset Timer: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/account/login_counter_reset_request They can look at your logs and fix it assuming you didn't miss like a week or something :)

Personally cannot imagine why anyone would spend $130 on 30 servings of a shake when you can easily accomplish the same thing much cheaper if you do a little research. I just ordered 6 lbs of pure whey isolate, gluten free, lactose free, gmo free for $87. To each his own..its your money.

How awesome to see all these committed older kids like me :) 51 here... been logging for almost 3 years and it really keeps me on track. I go to zumba 3-5 times a week and love walking events (color run, electric run, the 3-day) I have PCOS (which is a very common issue that really makes it harder to lose weight) I had…

I did not have mine until I lost all the weight (well I still want to lose 20 but I'm happy where I am) If you are on the fence about including the "girls" ... include them. I would not be nearly as happy with my tummy tuck if I still had fat, flabby fat boobs hanging over my beautiful tummy .... getting perky girls back…

Can't see your diary... but the culprit for me was not veggies it was gluten. Cut out gluten/wheat and carrageenan .. no more bloating. EVER. Until I eat something with gluten :)

I felt this way until I had my wakeup call. 6 years ago.. I was 5'4, 270lbs .... I smoked, I had PCOS (infertility and why I could never have kids), I had type II diabetes and shot myself with insulin twice a day so I could keep eating all the crap I wanted to eat. In my head, I thought if people don't like me the way I…
