Extremely Ashamed of Myself
Before I go on with the pity party, if you want to skip that part of this post just skip to the last paragraph. I am ashamed of how far I've fallen and I can't seem to get my "mojo" back. Three years ago, I had a success story turn failure very quick. The good: Up to that point I has been working on myself and went from…

Weight Loss and Antidepressants
Background story: so far I've lost about 120 pounds and have 40 to go. I have been depressed since I can basically remember and yesterday it got to a boiling point (turns out losing weight doesn't magically fix your problems), I went in to my local clinic and said I needed help and they prescribed me fluoxetine. This is my…

Nervous on bumping calories...
I'll be frank, I've had arguments in here before with people with me saying "I'm on 1200 calories and I'm doing great" as far as cutting goes. After doing that cut for so long and losing 120 pounds, which was great for the initial cut, I'm re-evaluating what I eat. I'm introducing a lot more protein and bumping the…

Philosophy and Weight Loss / Lifting
Hi, sorry if this is the wrong place I wasn't sure where else to post. I see a lot of posts here of people encouraging each other and posting accountability which is fantastic, but I don't know if what I am looking for is a bit different? I know it sounds counter productive but I'm not necessarily fond of rest days. I do…

Keto masters, hear my plea
A while ago I tried keto and I thought it was fantastic except for one small detail. I could feel the food piling up in my gut but my bowels refused to move. Googling the subject led me to the dreaded "glass poo" from keto which had me running right back to carbs. I miss the benefits and mental clarity though. I want to…

Family and Food
Disclaimer; I am not blaming anyone else for my own actions. I put the food in my mouth hole and there are consequences. When I was young, as much as I love my parents I never really got a good role model for health so I was always a bigger kid. Living with them for a while after high school my weight also shot up. I…

Losing motivation? Weird issues?
I've contemplated posting this here what with putting a name to a face and all, but whatever, I'm at a point I'm starting to not care anymore. In June 2016 I started seriously losing weight, and even though I believe I could be further down in pounds vs where I am now I'm proud to be around 110 pounds lighter. Something is…

Replacing protein bars
Hi, I'm looking over my day-to-day diet and while I'm keeping around 1,300 calories on the week days I'm also seeing a lot of sugar intake from the protein bars I eat. These are basically in between breakfast and after lunch to keep the hunger off, but even though my calories are OK on MFP I have like 1 gram of sugar left…
