Binge Eating Disorder (BED)
My psychotherapist friend sent me an article written by Amy Pershing in Psychotherapynetworker.org. Her point is that up to 75.% of cases involve childhood trauma, and that more than 60% of people with BED have been diagnosed with one or more co-occurring mental health issues, including anxiety, depression, ADD, and PTSD.…

Why random weigh ins are tougher on the mind than daily weigh ins
I like data, let me rephrase that, I freaking love data. So when I have the resolution to lose weight I have a relatively intricate spreadsheet with all sorts of derived data from my daily weigh in. That's it that's the only input but that number allows me to calculate daily, weekly, bi-weekly and monthly progress as well…

Recalculating calorie needs
Just curious, it appears as if MFP doesn’t recalculate caloric needs as you lose weight. Is this correct? My calorie goals haven’t changed and I’ve lost 92 pounds. It’s not a big deal because I set my calorie goal pretty low, but I’m curious— should this be re-visited eventually? I came from Weight Watchers where they…

Is limiting carbs bad for you?
ive been eating about close to 140 grams of carbs a day. Some days I'm under and some days I'm a little over. Is it okay to limit carbs? Some say it's not healthy to do that because your body needs the nutrients. But so far, by eating less carbs/fat and more protein, I've lost body fat. But is it harmful to your body to…

Excess skin issue
I've lost a significant amount of weight and I'm now having issues with excess skin. Unfortunately surgery is not possible (I'm in NZ and trying to get it done is proving difficult). I do quite a lot of exercise, and I'm a real sweater! I'm getting rashes, what look like boils, and smaller pimply spots all across my lower…

Steps
I set my activity level as active because I usually do an average of 13 thousand steps a day. I’ve been off work today and only done 2 thousand steps up to now but MFP has given me back 14 calories based on these steps. I thought my daily calories were based off my activity level being active why is it already giving me…

Recent odd posts
Does anyone else notice an increase in posts with helpful texts by users with names such as xdf8esdfs32s? It nearly looks like people are trying to use ChatGPT with a bot to automatically post to forums. I see the same kind of posts in other forums as well. Thoughts?

Stuck at 190's range
I started at 230lbs and I'm currently around 195 - 199. My calories intake was roughly between 1300-1600 with a goal 180g of protein for the weekdays and one cheat day on the weekend. My goal at the time was to hit 180lbs and I've been stuck at the 190's for the past month. I just got premium for mfp, so I'm hoping it can…

I had said I was going to post a photo once a week, but I thought this deserved one. Of course, you can't really tell any change yet, but I'll get there! And I'm not crazy…
