Relationship opinion needed
I am going to get a lot of crap from you guys and that's okay because I need to know if it's me that has a problem. My bf and I see one another only on the weekend, Fri, Sat and Sun and we're both very content with that. He just asked me if I would mind if he went to the hockey game with his friend this Friday and I said…

Have to give up sugar/carbs...diagnosed with SIBO
SIBO is small intestinal bacteria overgrowth. I am on my 4th antibiotic in four months. When I am not on them, I am good for about two weeks then the bloating and cramping begin again. It's so bad at times that I have to miss work. I read that the bacteria feeds on sugar and carbs. I love my sugar. I have actually learned…

Does anyone own the Fitbit Flex or Charge?
If yes, how is it? Which is better? Is there a different product you recommend? My main use for a fitbit is counting steps and I love that it syncs with MFP. I don't need anything fancy. I own a fitbit one and I love it but I want something I feel more secure with. I've lost my Fitbit one before and I'm afraid of it…

Attention 5:2 members
As much as I love this group, I would love it if we all can be friends as well. I think it might be easier to help and encourage one another this way. I keep my diary open and I am very faithful in documenting. I also blog about it which is open as well. So send me a friend request or let me know that it's okay if I send…

I drink too much... when I drink
Referring to alcohol. Is anyone else like this? I don't drink daily, no wine, beer, nothing. I don't even have the desire to drink. Anyway, when I go out, which is very infrequent, 3-4 times a year... I drink heavily. It's like I forget to stop. I black out (not pass out) and cannot remember a lot of the evening. To top it…

Is anyone else having a hard time?
This is my fifth week and yesterday was my fast day and I failed miserably. This is what happens to me.... I get light headed, I get headaches and when I get home I sit my butt on my couch and watch tv till bedtime. It seems to be all I can do other than sleep. Is this what happens to you guys? I did lose 10 lbs in 4 weeks…

Please look at my diary for Friday 10/24
As you can see, I am obsessed with my 500 calorie day (also anxious). I added my food for the entire day. I need to eat all day, I can't do 1-2 big meals. Looking at my diary, is there anything you would change? Thank you in advance :smile:

Fasting Day
I find it very hard to have energy on my fasting days. I try not to schedule anything so I can just go home from work and sit on the couch and watch tv while I starve. It just doesn't seem right. I'm the type of person that has to eat, I am not diabetic but I definitely feel lightheaded if I go more than two hours without…

What have you learned from MFP?
This is what I learned: 1. You can EAT! 2. You can eat sweets! 3. I bought a digital scale. It's amazing the difference when I weigh something in grams vs measuring cups and spoons. 4. I learned about the 5:2 diet. 5. I learned about TDEE 6. There are very supportive on here 7. There are funny people on here 8. There are…

What advice would you give my daughter?
My daughter who is 5' tall and 135lbs (24 years old) is very concerned about her weight. But that's not the issue here. Her girlfriend, who is about the same size as her (they live together) was raised by her aunt who can be very unpleasant.... more like judgmental, she always has something to say about her weight. Well,…

How important is it to have friends on here?
I only have 3 friends :'( mainly because I don't ask anyone to be my friend. I feel like I'm being a bother, I mean, what if they have over 100 friends? Do they really want another? I also feel it's easy to look at my profile and keep up with my friends because I only have three :) Anyway, do you feel it's beneficial for…

Who do you blame for gaining weight??
Other than yourself (of course), who would you put the blame on? I for one, put most of my blame on Ben and Jerry for creating peanut butter cup ice cream, second would be Smuckers hot fudge, and third, my ex boyfriend >:)

How much coffee do you drink?
I love my coffee. I usually have it with a tub of coffee mate vanilla creamer (25 calories). I could have up to three cups a day, maybe 4. Is that too much to be drinking? I'm not concerned about the calories, just about having that much coffee.

The 5:2 diet questions...
Hello everyone. I am new here and I am beginning the 5:2 diet today, today being the 500 calorie day. I read some info about it on google but I wanted to speak with some experienced 5:2 dieters. 1. Does it matter which two days, for example, can I do it on Sunday and Tuesday? Or are they too close together? 2. The 5 days,…
