However, I'm worried about the inexactness of exercise calorie estimates. Most of my exercise calories come from walking, measured by MapMyWalk, with some…

Heretic Asks - How to stop logging and keep your goal weight
I’m looking for success stories of people who stopped logging and maintained their goal weight. That could be a heretical question bc so many people do keep logging forever.

Falling off the wagon(again)
Hey MFP’s! I’m not sure if it’s this whole Corona pandemic. But working in a hospital, it’s making it really difficult to eat better. It’s basically grab what you can and go. Any advice would be fantastic! Thank you 😊

Always always ravenous!!
Someone help! I am ALWAYS hungry!!! It’s been detrimental to trying to lose weight and I am getting so discouraged! Just last night, a lightbulb went off, and I wondered if it could be connected to an overactive thyroid?? My last TSH reading (in March) was 0.52. I am on 150 mcg Synthyroid daily. Could this be the culprit??…

Is it really as simple as keep counting and weighing?
I'm experiencing a strange feeling. I feel like what I'm doing to lose weight (counting everything, weighing daily, a fair amount of exercise) is something that I can happily keep on doing forever if I have to. The inconvenience is very small, compared to the pay off. Currently I don't really feel hungry, for example…
