Trying Again!
Hello community! I was on here for a while about a year ago but then flittered away... I had lost about 20 lbs of the 100 I needed to lose and I haven't really gained anything back since then but I feel fat again. I felt great after that 20 lbs but it's time for my next chunk. I have back pain from a car accident, I don't…

What's so great about avocado, anyway?
When I was little, I loved to eat guacamole. That's really the only thing I can ever remember eating with avocado in it... Around the time I was 10 I was getting an upset stomach after eating it but I didn't care because it tasted so good. By 13 I would get the absolute worst stomach cramps (curled in a ball crying…

Have you lost a few pant sizes?
I have and I was wondering if the fat person inside of you is like the fat(er) person inside of me: I started at a size 22 pant and am now wearing a size 16. Every morning now I go to put my pants on (the pants that I've been wearing for close to a month) and I think "there is NO way those fit me. They are way too small."…

Have you ever been so happy you wanted to cry?
I was in a bad place. I was watching my nephew (who no one wanted to watch because of how hard he is and his mom couldn't find a daycare to take him). I have been doing this since last February. I have made between $500 and $750 a month (having him up to 80 hours per week, most of the time it was 70). I literally don't…

Averaging out Calories
This weekend I ate HORRIBLY and drank like a fish. Gotta love family right? lol I know I do! So I was probably having up to 3000 calories (I'm trying to stay between 1600 and 1700) and that was Friday and Saturday. Yesterday, I only ate 700 calories and was fine. I choose to believe that it's my body naturally averaging…

My poor kitty :(
He has been peeing on everything for like a month and, obviously, I've been scolding him and spraying him with water, ect. He's just over a year old so I thought it was some kind of dominance thing as we have another male cat in the house. He went to pee on the floor last night and all that came out was three drops... of…

BMR and TDEE: questions and such
I've been following MFP's calorie suggestions for about two months. I've lost about 16lbs. Not bad! But I've been doing some research on BMR and TDEE -20% and those numbers are WAY different than what MFP suggests to lose weight. Like 1300 calories VS 1800 calories. So a couple questions: BMR is what your body needs to do…

How long...
Does it take for calories you ate to show up on your body? Let's say, hypothetically, that on maintenance I need 2000 calories per day. One day, I decide to eat nothing but deep fried mac and cheese, and cheesecake and end up eating 5500 calories. Will my body turn all of those calories into fat that day? The next day? The…

That person who you want to punch in the face.
SO I went to laser tag as a group today. There were a couple people who I didn't know and one of them was such a feminist (in a bad way), she had no sense of humor and judged she everything that I said. After trying to talk to her (and her staring at me, blowing me off then starting to talk to someone else) the thing that…

Arm Transformations
Hey all! I have... well horrible arms. If you look at my thumbnail you'll see that my upper arms (bicep area--especially the left arm) has a lovely "baby fat crease". I know the fat will all go away. The problem is I'm afraid that that crease will always be there or the skin will look freaky or something. I would REALLY…

Eating all of my calories at dinner
Hey guys. So I usually (not in the past week but usually) eat about 300-400 calories from the time I wake up till dinner which is usually around 7PM with bed around 12. So I'm eating like 900 calories for dinner. I have dramatically changed the way I eat in the past few months and have heard that this is not the best way…

Starvation Mode
I know there is a camp of people who don't "believe in starvation mode" and I would like to politely ask those people not to join this conversation :) Thanks! I have a very heat sensitive body and when it is as hot as it has been (90-100 degrees F) I just can't eat. I log everything that goes in my mouth besides water and…

Heart rate monitors?

Intolerance to Egg Whites?
So the last two days I've had an omelet with egg whites and then about two hours later I get some of the WORST stomach aches I've ever had. It's the only thing that I can think of that I've actually changed recently but I thought it was the strangest things. I mean, I've never had a problem with eggs before. Anyone have a…
