How did you...
Break the snacking habit? My particular habit is always snacking when I study or read a book (which I do a lot!). I've been doing really well this summer, especially with the help of MFP. But, when I go back to school in the fall, I'm really worried that I'm going to have an overwhelming urge to snack while doing homework…

Is this feasible?
I know this is a problem that most people would want to have, I am just making sure it seems right. I was on a plateau for about 3 weeks or so. Then last week I lost 4 pounds, which was so exciting. Then this week I've lost another 4 pounds. I don't usually lose that much, it is usually about 1-2 pounds a week. We had to…

You Are Beautiful
Something we on MFP must remember is that we are beautiful no matter where we are in our journey. You don't attain 'beautiful' status at a size or weight. You are beautiful now. You always have been and always will be. “For every beauty there is an eye somewhere to see it. For every truth there is an ear somewhere to hear…

Amusement Park with Family, fun but bad for diet.
OMG, I think I ate at least 1000 calories over my daily limit. The garden salad looks so gross that I ended up ordering a hot dog with fries. I told myself not to touch the fries, but I did! AHHH! Then we all ended up at a pricey "all you can eat" Korean BBQ. Feeling bad about wasting money, I ended up eating a bunch of…
