Maybe I will switch things up at the gym. Do you mind mentioning what your typical food day is like.

that happened to me recently... a co-worker of mine that was in the navy suggested that I incorporate weight training into my routine. He said I will initially gain weight, but then as muscle mass increases, the muscles will place a demand on stored fat for energy, then weight will fall off. I followed his advice... I…

Thanks guys! This is why I love the community.

Yea, processed food are evil in my camp. I avoid most of them at ALLLL cost.

Might I ask what do you usually eat before the onset of indigestion? It's been the opposite for me. Since I've lost weight, indigestion completely disappeared. No more tums, pepto-bismol or any of that funky stuff.

WOW. Your pictures say more than 100000000000 words. Great work dude!

Hmmmm. :( Reading that article brings back memories of a tragedy that took us all by surprise. A a co-worker of mine just 20 years old. She died after she did this same operation. She was such a cheerful person. RIP Sabrina.

Hi! Great accomplishment there. I've read somewhere that getting out of a weight loss flatline could be accomplished with via a method called calori cycling. I may be wrong, but the gist I got was to eat a little bit more calories than usual for 2 to three days, then fall back. that will trick your metabolism into speeding…

great post. I think is reflects on a much larger problem. I might be wrong, but here's my take: It's all in the mind and in our thought process. Sadly for the mass of the people here in our "industrialized, developed/ 1st world nations of the world" the thought process of the individual is determined by what is funneled…

Great feeling eh! :)

that happens to me occasionally. Not sure if it might be the case for you, but whenever this happens to me, for a day or two I'll eat up to the amount of calories required to maintain my weight, then drop back down to -500 or -1000 and that usually does the trick. I read somewhere about starvation mode and metabolism…

@statia152, that happened to me recently at work. There was an office party and I thought I'd have a hot dog or two. I logged it after I got home. I was in complete dismay over the high amount of calories in 1 hotdog.

i'd stay away from any of those magic pills.

alone time gives you time to think and get in touch with your inner self if you so desire

Welcome to the party! MFP is a excellent place to start. These sense of community here is great and overall very supportive.

good post. i'm will have to check it out

yea it takes will power to make such a positive choice. good going

Welcome Grace :)

I completely agree... to experience true happiness it should come from within you. When the heart and the mind are in harmony then true happiness can really begin. Happiness that comes from outside is usually temporary and falls back into nothingness rather quickly.

Nice, Keep it up :) 5 will soon become 10, 10 to 15 then 20... so forth and so on. nice small goals at a time.

Thanks Guys ! and do pardon my typographical error, it’s due primarily to my highly elated state.

i stall can't believe its free either. 28 lbs lighter and I did not spend a dime.

Hello There! Welcome :)

morning! I'd say just let it go. let it enter through one ear and exit out the other. It's not worth your energy. As a kid I used to be mand fun of on a regular basis. It used to bother me a whole lot. one day I decided that the name calling will only bother me if I allow it to bother me. Years later the name callers…

Food Matters is a great Documentary. I wish everyone could see this eye opening film.

wow, I love the sense of community here on MFP. my short answer to your question Eat Whole / Unprocessed foods rich in fibre. it keeps u full longer. When it comes to sugars, never have sugar without fibre. It is noteworthy that in nature sugar always appears with fibre. Take an orange for example, its a sugary fruit, but…

Log into MFP on you computer Click "Goals" under the "My Home" tab. Scroll down, click "CHANGE GOALS" "Guided" should already be selected. Go ahead and hit "CONTINUE" Enter your data as accurately as possible. Go ahead and click "UPDATE PROFILE" You should* be all set after that. Hope it helps

I've been a member for a little under a month after stumbling into the MFP app on itunes by accident. Within that time I've lost 20 lbs just by simply taking personal accountability for what I eat and not going over my daily allowances. I don't exercise though. Its amazing how much of a difference it makes to go from NOT…
