Most calories at breakfast...what to eat??
I was told by a doctor this past week that I should eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a queen, and dinner like a pauper. I get the reasonings, and I am more than willing to give it a shot. However... I have a lot to learn about breakfast food. All my life, I've been used to breakfast foods such as pancakes, french…

Phentermine
I was prescribed phentermine by my doctor yesterday and started taking it today. I am just curious about any advice or success stories from people who have taken it. I was told to give up caffeine, which I've been wanting to for a while. Any thoughts?

METFORMIN
I've been taking Metformin for a month now. I was told by my doctor that it's supposed to increase metabolism, and can help with weight loss. It's a Diabetes drug, and I am not diabetic nor am I pre-diabetic, but he thought it would help me drop a few extra pounds since I have a really hard time losing weight, possibly due…

Advice needed!!!
I need some advice. I have this innermost desire to be a super fit athlete - to be able to run, play sports, etc. I want it SO badly! But there seems to be some wall between that desire and my actions. On my drive home from work every day, I tell myself I'm going straight to the gym. Then I get home, and I decide to relax…

So I'm curious - on the days when I don't have a chance to exercise, I try to stay a good 300-400 calories below my given limit. By the end of the day I'm usually starving, but I don't want to eat the calories. Am I the only one that does this? And is it bad? Being 315 lbs, I doubt my body is going to go into starvation…

But I have a goal of running a real 5k in September of this year. so I have 9 months to get it right. My question to the world is this: Has anyone overweight like me used…

Over 100 lbs to lose...
First, allow me to introduce myself: I'm 28 years old, I work full time and go to school full time. I have been married for almost 4 years, and my husband is also over 100 lbs overweight. We are trying to do this together, and it wasn't until we found this site that we've actually seen a little bit of success! We can't…

Got LOTS to Lose?
Hey everyone! So I've been on MFP for about 3 1/2 weeks now, and I was thinking it would be good to find some friends out there who have lots to lose like I do. I started out at 325 lbs, and I am down to 312 now (which isn't that much but it's a good start, right?) My goal weight is around 160ish. I've NEVER weighed that…
