YES^^ Great job! I am always happy to see the persistence and results, it's so inspiring!

Oh my word, two year olds? Kids that young need significant nutrition including fat for their bodies and brains to develop properly. This nonsense can have permanent damage on the development of these children. It sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen, two year olds on a juice cleanse.

You look like a different person before & after. Am I reading right that you lost 93 pounds in 43 weeks? That is an amazing rate. Congrats!

Can I ask how you decided on a 15g per day limit? I'm all for limiting added sugar, because I too have a terrible sweet tooth and a tendency to rampage on candies so I know how gross it can make you feel. But 15 g total per day seems so limiting that you'd cut out so many healthy delicious snacks that there should be a…

Wow wow wow! What an amazing achievement. Thanks for sharing your inspirational journey and your wisdom!

I don't know what to say to you right now because you're asking how I can stand something that is different because it's different. But, uh, this definition might help in parsing the definition you provided for enslavement: some·one ˈsəmˌwən pronoun pronoun: someone; pronoun: some-one 1. an unknown or unspecified person;…

!!! $2 per gallon for milk?!!?! Here in Northern California it's $3.50 to $4 per gallon.

Aside from anything else about the health and/or moral benefits and demerits of dairy, calling the practice of animal husbandry "enslavement" trivializes the experience of humans currently and formerly held in bondage.

I think you should give it more than 2 weeks before you abandon the higher calorie count. Like others have said, 3 pounds can be water weight. Just make sure you're accurately logging your food. I'm someone who had 100 pounds to lose (now it's down to 70!) and for me, I had to let go of the idea that I would lose all this…

Good for you for powering through!

What really jumps out at me is that you set up a counselling appointments but then cancel. That is the kind of thing I'll do when I'm really feeling my anxiety. Anxiety is a lying saboteur. Things will not get worse if you go to counselling and talk about the fact that you binge. They won't commit you to an institution or…

8 hours is a long time for a class! Is it a lecture portion plus a lab portion in which students work independently? OK, it sounds like you need a script. I'll tell you what I have said and heard other people say. Just let the professor know before class, especially if there is a lecture portion, because that can be…

Actually, let me tweak my advice: if you decide tomorrow that you can't go to class, *definitely* email your professor because it seems like he'll notice. Then, later, go to his office hours to follow up with what he expects and what you need to do.

Professors, in my experience, and I went to about 8 years of higher ed, will accommodate health issues. They prefer to know about them in advance if possible, and for students to be proactive in addressing the issue. I think you should tell him you had to miss class because of an ongoing health issue and that you are…

Sounds not great but also not like a disaster. Try to estimate how many calories you ate and log them. I just googled and a Dodger dog has 410 kcal, which is not too bad if that was lunch, not a snack. Will it tank this week's weight loss? Hard to say, but you just gotta keep moving forward. Good luck!

I think most everyone has had days like that. But unless you ate 7700 over your maintenance calories, you still weigh less than you did two weeks ago. One day is nothing in the grand scheme of things. Over time you just have to come out ahead. Letting go of the past and 'mistakes' you made can be really hard. But I think…

On the topic of beans: have you ever made a bean chili? I'm a meat eater but I have bean chili pretty much everyday for lunch. It's great: high in fiber and protein so it's filling, cheap and easy to make, can sit at room temp safely so you can take it with you, also very tasty, and very customizable. You can add tofu (if…
