Gastric band...any success stories?
I am finally getting to the point where I think I should resort to lap band surgery. Tried everything to lose weight but very difficult on the meds that I am taking. Does anyone have any lap band stories? Did it work for you?

Osteoarthritis in knees
I had an MRI of my knees and the results were in today. At only 37 I have osteoarthritis of the knees and the doctor has said the best thing to relieve it is weight loss as it is "wear and tear" on the joints. I guess it is extra motivation to get slim. This is the first real medical evidence my weight is making me…

Day 1 of weight loss plan. Looking for people to support me.
In the last year I have gained 2 stone. I have been comfort eating to cope with very stressful personal circumstances. It has helped me to cope, but has left me clinically obese. My gall bladder is now playing up and last week doctor said I am developing osteoarthritis in my knees. Been told to lose weight as it is the…

Can someone advise on calories in coffee machine pods?
Just bought a Dolce Gusto machine-makes lovely coffee! However the way the calories have been written on the pod packet is not at all clear. The skinny cappucino pods are 50 cal per 240 ml. If I have a coffee greater than 240 ml, using one set of pods but more water, should I be scaling up the calories or does it stay at…

Do you ever have an evening off your diet?
I have done 20 days and each day managed to get in under target. But I was getting sick of it, so this evening I have gone over target and just had a night off. Do other people do this?

Psychotropic drug help
I take seroquel for bipolar disorder and it is making me fat. I cannot stop taking it, have tried and I just have a relapse without it. Problem is I take it at night and then wake up with incredible carb cravings. As the serohell sedates me I am not fully awake and will just sit downstairs in a half wake half sleep state…

Has anyone tried Slim rice-eat water
Hi I read some reviews on this so today gave it a go. It tastes bland by iteslf, but with some salt and chilli sauce was really nice and only 15 cals per 200 g pack. Has anyone else tried it and more importantly have you had any success?

Waking up hungry.
I have been with MFP since January 2013 and have lost 18 lbs. I know it is not a great amount but I am feeling happier and healthier. The only problem is I wake about 3 am hungry and have to eat. If I do not eat I am back up at 430, 530 and then wake at 6 and this leaves me tired. What to do?

Losing weight in "bursts"
I just wondered if this is normal. I go a week or two without losing weight and then all of a sudden I spend about 5 days losing weight rapidly. Then I plateau again and so on. Sometimes the plateaus are due to me eating a bit more, but a lot of the time I eat about the same every day. I think it is a bit weird. Does…

A gastric band company to me put weight ON!
I have a BMI of 29 and a binge eating disorder. With MFP I have lost 16 lbs. I thought I could get a GB at BMI of 28 or above but I was wrong. I have just phoned a really reputable weight loss surgery firm in the UK to enquire about a band. I was told to stop dieting and gain a stone and then book an appointment for…

Binge eating and bipolar-sick of this.
This is becoming a routine! I manage for a few days and lose some weight, then I have a day like today where I have been emotionally all over the show and have eaten my body weight in chocolate! I have been like this for years but it only seems to be getting worse! I comfort eat and due to the bipolar I have far bigger…

Gastric Band
Hi I started another thread recently about considering a gastric band and was shocked when most people replied they are not that good and do not result in that much weight loss. I wondered if anyone here had gotten a gastric band and what effect it had on them.
-
Should MFP have a weight loss by week function?
I think it would be great if MFP could give everyone a weekly report with weight loss (or gain) to 1 decimal point eg weight loss this week 1.6 lbs. It could also include a report on total cals and total cals burned due to exercise. My total weight loss goal is around 50 lbs. I would find it easier to break down into…

Just cannot do it!
Hi have been away from MFP for about a month now. I joined up in January and managed to lose a stone. Everything was going well and I lost 1 stone. Unfortunately I have been under a lot of stress in the past few weeks and am suffering from depression. I am back to comfort eating and am undoing all my good work. Seriously…

Can exercise cause weight GAIN?
I have been on MFP for 4 months now and have lost nearly a stone. Recently I have been doing great. I cut my calorie intake but do not do that much exercise. Over the weekend I did 16 hr 30 minutes doing leaflet distribution for my cleaning biz. 2 shifts Sat and Sun at 8 hour 15 each. I was exhausted when I finished! I was…

vegan diet?
I have been on MFP for under a month and already lost 4lb :happy: Anyway I am wondering about going vegan, partially because it may be more healthy and partially due to animal rights issues. Does anyone have any experience of a vegan diet? Love some advice.

seriously think I am quitting this!
Had a horrible day! One of my employees who was also a personal friend has been caught stealing off me. My business has lost £900 this month. Spent all day rowing with people...in stinking mood. Have been bingeing non stop from noon. Think this is over....never going to lose weight....will have to save my pennies for a…

fallen off wagon again!
have been doing really well for a month and keeping binge eating disorder under check. But last 3 days have just been constant eating and bingeing. Would love some support and advice to get back on track!

Absolutely livid at husband!
I started MFP on the 7th January and things have been going really well. Apart from a few hiccups have stuck to diet for over 12 days now and have lost 3lb. I take medication at night which causes a massive increase in appetite-this is the reason I gained weight in the first place. What I have been doing is having 200 cals…

Is it possible to gain 7 lbs in 3 days?
I posted on the success stories page that I joined MFP on 7th January and have recently lost 7 lbs. Anyway I decided to take 3 days off the diet and am now back to my starting weight. I must admit I have had 2 takeaways and quite a lot of chocolate but I did not think I would gain 7 lbs. Is this possible or is it water…

First half stone
I joined MFP on 7th January and just over a month later have lost my first 7lb. I know it is not as good an achievement as some of the before and after pictures on here, but I am still really proud of it. Hopefully this time next month I will have lost my first stone.

Please I need some support and advice.
I joined MFP on the 7th January and lost 4 lbs over the next few days. I was loving it and loving the new diet having been a compulsive over eater for years. Things were going great until the 21st when my weight loss stopped and now it is creeping back slowly. This morning I got up and weighed myself. I was so upset I did…

Just wanted to say hi!
I joined on the 7th and have already lost 3lb. I am feeling great and looking forward to getting back in my skinny clothes (another 63lb to get there!)
