Belviq, Qsymia, etc?
I was just wondering if anyone here had any experience with any of the FDA-approved appetite suppressant medications that have come out in the last couple of years?

Help me make a 300 or 350-calorie omelette!
So, I'm trying to come up with an omelette that's under 300-350 calories. (Please don't say "why 300-350 calories?" I have my reasons, but I don't want to argue!) At the moment, I have: Two large eggs - 187 calories 1/8 cup shredded cheese - 43 1/2 cup mushrooms - 10 calories For a total of 240 calories. What else can I…

Living with others: how do you cope with tempting late-night snacks?
So, I share a refrigerator/kitchen with other people, and they buy a TON of cookies/cakes/other sweet snacks. I resist these things during the day (unless I genuinely want it, in which case I safely budget it into my daily calorie goal), but they're much harder to resist at night when I'm half-conscious (and sometimes…

Eating too little for my weight?
Hi, I've had a somewhat confusing experience with MFP. I'm 28, female, 5'6, 345 pounds. I think it's important to note that my weight has not changed in the last few years, regardless of diet. My first week I set MFP to "maintain weight" just to see if I could that. MFP gave me a target of 2900 calories. Now, while I…

Optimal weighing frequency?
Okay, so I know that weighing daily is problematic, but I'm having an issue with weighing weekly. In the last 3 weeks, my weight has gone down by 4 pounds, down by 5 more pounds, and up by 5 pounds. I guess the logical conclusion would be that the second (net 9 pound loss) weigh-in was erroneous, but I don't understand how…
