Motivation Loss due to insulting comments
I decided to try here in hopes that maybe you guys could help me. If this isn't the right place to post this, please tell me and I will move it. I'm a 21 year old F, my weight atm is 217.4 (my goal is 170 which is my normal back in HS, but I was also shorter so basically I want to lose until I like how I look). I know my…

Help with abdomen distension?
I made an appointment with my doctor but the soonest he can see me is Feb 14th. Basically, what foods can help me cut down on bloating/abdomen distension? This has been ongoing for a couple of weeks to the point I just can't eat because I feel full despite not eating anything or very much. I've been having nausea and…

Winter/holiday Foods
Just wanting to create a little support thread I suppose for others to also share something that's probably irritating most of us. The holidays/winter time. Specifically, the foods. Especially the ones that are a seasonal favorite and you just can't get enough of it. My point in case: hot chocolate. It's 28F here where I…

No More Excuses! (But what were yours?)
I'm so tired of all the excuses I've seemed to give myself when I'm not losing weight and begin to eat too much again out of frustration or whatever. I want to know, what is your guy's biggest excuse? What excuse was the last excuse? Mine, so far, is me being busy. I do go to college full time, internship under a vet, and…

What was some mistakes you made when first dieting?
I've been going on and off the horse a lot but so far lost 7 pounds, hoping to lose another 26 though and I hopped back on it again the past two months. Recently I realized I haven't been losing weight despite logging what I eat. Until I realized I forgot to log simple things like butter/cheese/tomato sauce (when using it…

BMR Questions
1. How important is it to know your BMR? 2. Should you eat over or under your BMR? 3. Why is it bad to eat under your BMR? 4. Is BMR really that important for weight loss? I found out my BMR, it's basically 1,700 but I'm supposed to only eat 1,350. Should I eat up to my BMR then? I really don't understand the whole BMR…

Anyone else take medication that causes weight gain?
So at the end of my senior year in HS I got diagnosed with Von Willebrand type 2 something (basically a type of hemophilia). This means I need to take amicar and desmopressin in order to help stop my bleeding (including menstrual where I am a heavy and very long bleeding) because I was severely anemic. Anyway, I began to…

Uh oh, Finals time!
I'm 5'8" Female, pear shape, and 196 pounds at the moment, goal being 170. I am also in college. Anytime finals rolls in I actually forget to eat, I eat one meal a day and then lose time in reading/studying/preparing for the dreaded finals in order to pass. Of course this puts me extremely low on my calorie intake for MFP…

I keep yo-yoing?
I weight 195, kinda big for my height, and looking to lose some weight. However, my problem is that I keep yo-yoing between weights and it's starting to get annoying. Sometimes I'll be 193/192, only to go up to 195, 196 the next day. I do the same thing every morning before weighing myself to make sure I am not doing it…
