Breastfeeding can really take a lot of calories, however, you have been at it long enough to know how it affects your body. If adding more calories causes you to gain weight, then your only option is to stick to the allowance that works. 5 pounds lost in 10 days is basically the recommended weight loss....just a hint more…

I would side with the individuals who are saying you are not eating enough. My sister had 120 pounds to lose and MPF has her at 1890 calories a day and she has lost 20 pounds in 3 months and is never hungry. She goes over once in awhile too and is still losing weight. I can't imagine what she was eating before. I, on the…

:(

With only needing to lose 39 pounds and already not eating a lot, I find it fishy your doctor put you on a weight loss drug. Plus, he wouldn't test for for something that you think he should?? I would speak with another physician. I think it sounds like a bad plan.

I have been on several meds for depression/anxiety, including Celexa. I currently am on Cymbalta, which does not cause weight gain. I like it better too. Actually, I think like 4% of people on it lose a couple pounds. It kind of dulls your taste buds, some. Makes mine feel funny anyway. Don't know if that's the reason some…

Sheer willpower, and it sucks. But its a trade, eat all you want and be big or be hungry and skinny. Up to you.

Go to food, hit breakfast, in the search box type egg. Look through the list, a plain egg will work, don't need to specifiy that it was hard-boiled but you can. Hard-boiling does not matter for calories. Hit add to breakfast. Then do the same thing to search for bread, find a white bread. Should be about 70 calories. You…

Soup is good and their are lot of canned kinds that are healthy. I ran out of sugar at work for my tea and I just got used to it without it, I drink raspberry or black cherry herbal tea. I also drink room temp water, I actually like that better maybe you will be ok with it too. I hate cooking, HATE it! But corn for lunch,…

I agree that a person needs 1200 calories just to sustain themselves if they laid in bed all day, just to breath & have your heart pump blood, etc. I have a desk job and am studying for the CPA exam so I pretty much just sit all day too but MFP has me eating 1540 calories and I am still losing weight. On top of that, my…

Staying skinny. And never outgrowing my clothes. Being skinny makes me feel good & pretty. Not that I think people that are not super thin are ugly, I just prefer it on me. I wouldn't mind gaining a few pounds really, I like how it looks too. However, I am like an A-cup so it looks ridiculous (to me) when my belly sticks…

That's too bad. I was commenting to my bro yesterday about how I struggled through childhood with negative feelings, brought on by mean people and mental illness, and now I just hate people, I honestly do. I empathize and I do not say mean things to people, but to my core I truely hate people. That's no good and does not…

It's going to be a big change from eating everything in sight! That must have been great! They did a story back in the Micheal Phelps days about the great amount of food he got to eat, I was sooooo jealous.

Something you NEED to speak with your OB about, period.

Many people love storms and rainy weather.

I have many times. I have been very aggressive many times too. It has led to good times and bad. All in all, I have always had better luck when I approached men as opposed to them approaching me. Always seems like only *kitten* hit on girls anymore. What's wrong with the hot guys these days? They probably know they are hot…

I am in the same boat as you on all of those things. On top of it, I am a single mother and studying for the CPA exam. So I just eat the same thing at work every day because otherwise I can't maintain control. I keep calories as low as possible through the day so I can have a nice dinner. And I drink tea, plain tea. It's…

Don't make eye contact and be on your way. Extra caution, men are pigs. Don't think for second that they are being nice for any other reason but to try to get somewhere. Yeah, you may not believe what I am say but give it enough time and you will see.

What? I never heard of that, but I am totally addicted to food. For reals.

I think the ones who do pass it up do suffer, I know I do. I have even had to hid cake and punch because of it being forced on me until I could throw it away. Not one bite! If you can't have even one it's easier to deal with. That's how I do it. I don't give even a little on that. I have my own snacks that I treat myself…

I just can't get over the fact that spagetti squash is a vegetable....cannot bring myself to use it as noodle-sub :(

I would say the entire weight of it, so the whole thing. I picture scientists taking the apple and grinding it up and then analizing the calories in their little machines. Then taking the calories for their sample and muliplying them by the weight of the total apple.

I am under too, I wonder why MFP doesn't adjust your calories for that???

I LOVE MAKEUP! I try all different kinds and am very particular. My foundation is Estee Lauder DoubleWear Light Coverage. With a makeup brush it is applied for perfectly. Then to set it I dust with Nuetrogena Mineral Foundation. Flawless, I mean flawless. AND LIGHT! Then blush, I use Estee Lauder but only cause I am a…

I do this frequently and have often associated it with a form of non-purging bulemia. But I am a healthy weight too, actually quite thin. I will binge, usually more junk food, at least 1-3 days a week and then have to restrict my diet big-time to make up for the binge. Now on the other hand I have often wondered if this…

I think about food non-stop, I just don't eat it. Sometimes I count down the minutes until I can eat lunch. It's pretty awful.

I was vegan for five years. I ate a varied diet or all things non-animal. I was thin, but healthy. I never felt like my body was nutrient deficient. I think everyone over-analyzes and over-catagorizes EVERYTHING! For crying out loud, flexovegetarian??? If you want to be a vegan, do some moderate research, eat a varied…

Yesterday morning I weighed myself and in the evening I weighed myself again. I weighed 3 pounds more in the morning than at night. Then this morning I weighed myself again and was another pound down. Nothing abnormal about food going in or out either. Good example of why NOT to weigh yourself a lot.

Pasta does contain some protein too.

I am a total binger. I would avoid even eating a slice if you cannot control yourself. Or set up your allotment and don't even let yourself let one thought sneak in. I always make little excuses or tell myself I had a low cal day or tomorrow I will eat better. If you are only going to allow yourslef 2 slices. Thats it, no…

Ugh, annoying. Idk, I was vegan for 5 years and I have never heard that cows just continue to make milk so I looked it up and it seems that they do dry up. http://www.ehow.com/facts_7501322_long-cows-milk-dry-up.html And cows weren't domestic FOREVER?? At some point they had to have sustained themselves without people so…
