Can't find a good source of fiber! HELP!
I've looked a lot of places, and even sugar free stuff has net carbs. Are those the sugar alcohols? Do I have to count net carbs if using sugar free metamucil? So lost. I could eat 10 tablespoons of coconut fiber a day, or plain cardboard! Hey, that'll work!

My A-ha Moment
Let me start off by thanking everyone that has helped me in my previous post I made about depression, and the lack of determination I had to "start over" again. I have received countless friend requests today, and I have NEVER in my life, seen such an out pouring of love and selflessness in all my life! Especially on the…

Discouraged about how much I have to lose...
I am ashamed to admit how much I have to lose. It's quite sad, really. The starting and stopping results from me giving up before I even really start. The reason? I realize I need to lose the equivalent of an overweight, grown man! I just don't know how to keep the "one day at a time" mentality and not get tripped up by…

Metabolism "reset"?
Hi everyone. A little back story, I've starved myself on numerous occasions. Then, I would binge because my body was literally starving. I'm 26, 330lb and a female (5'7) I am curious about my current way of eating. I'm eating 6 meals a day, 1,800 calories total. I'm sedentary. My question is this... Is it better for me to…

Insulin Resistance Diet?
I have PCOS and pre-Diabetes. I have read the insulin resistance diet and it seems would be perfect for me. Ya know, except for eating every 2-3 hours. I may be the only fat person that doesn't like eating often. Any who, do you have any tips on this way of eating? Recipes? Guidelines, etc? Thank you all :)

Starting Keto Tomorrow :) Newbie!
Hello ladies and Gents. I am planning on starting my low carb/ketogenic diet tomorrow. I have pre-diabetes and hypothyroidism. I have practically been begged by my doctor to lose weigh umpteen times, but I finally sought the emotional part of losing weight and now I think, "I'm ready." I am truly looking forward to…

How often do you weigh in?
I originally wanted to do weekly, but I'm tempted to do daily because I'm a bit addicted. How often do you all weigh yourselves?

What to expect while cutting out sugar?
I am planning on eliminating sugar (added sugar and sweeteners, even fake crap) from my diet starting tomorrow. I realized I am completely addicted to sugar. Its like a high. Then, an hour later, I'm hungry again. What can I expect to experience? How long will the bad feelings last? Anything in particular I should do to…

Weight Loss and your spouse?
I guess I'm just trying to see how many people might be in the same situation with me. With an overweight spouse and no willingness to change. Until this point, I didn't feel I should go on without him, but I am saving myself here. Not him. Does this happen to anyone else? The feeling of guilt and selfishness for losing…

Paleo worth a second chance?
Hi everyone. My question is for anyone on paleo. I am not a HUGE fan of meat. Its hard to get my protein in when on paleo. Is there anyone that still eats cottage cheese and Greek yogurt while on Paleo? I gained three pounds doing it last time. For me, I was dumb and thought that counting calories didn't matter because I…

Excercise Calories
Do I eat them back? 5'7 320 lbs. 1,700 Calories puts me at 1,000 cal deficit. Since I'm bigger, I can reasonably lose more at first. Should I workout maybe an additional 500 a day And NOT eat them back? BMR is 2,200. 2,700 TDEE. thank you.

Harm in huge deficit for mordibly obese?
I see tons of people suggesting not go under BMR. My question is, how do We get enough of a deficit then to lose 2 pounds a week? I can afford to lose more than 2lb a week to start out. I was wondering if there's harm in a deficit of 1,500 from my TDEE of 2,700? That would have me at 1,200 to lose 3 pounds a week for a…

Self-Sabatoge
Am I the only one that seems to do this when it comes to losing weight. I get so close to a goal and then purposely fail at it. I think there's a lot more to weight loss than just counting calories. I've said it a million times. It is 99% mental. If I'm the only one that does this, I will be shocked. I think a lot of…

Gazelle Vs. Elliptical
Does anyone know which one is better in terms of longevity and calorie burn? I want to get an elliptical, but which one would my body get used to fastest? I don't want to have it become useless after using it a lot.

Do you eat 3 or 6 meals a day?
I realize that the myth of eating small meals more frequently is widely ignored. I even tried it and noticed it made me 1.) more stressed out trying to remember to eat 6 tines a day, and 2.) more apt to binge because I never felt satisfied. Which leaves me curious as to what all you lovely people are doing. Do big meals…

Seasonal Depression and Weight Gain?
I wasn't sure why I was craving carbs and sleeping more until it clicked with me. I have S.A.D. I can't wait to go walking and soak in the Sun rays. BUT, I've gained like 15 pounds. has this happened to anyone else? Is anyone else severely depressed to where it's affecting daily life?

Darn you Girl Scouts!
Yeah, a package of Somoas later and I feel like becoming bulemic. (Not really, for those that won't understand sarcasm.) Anyone else having the same pitfalls? Please tell me I'm not the only one?

Way Over Calorie Goal Today :(
I feel like crap. I'm way too embarrassed to even admit how many calories I'm over by. Lets just say, I can skip food for a day and a half and still just be even. Ugh. I am so depressed. Anyone else binge like this?
