Weight chart is a bummer.
The weight chart could be SO much more of a motivator if it had more satisfying looking change. It's a big thing to lose a pound! It should look like it on the chart. It looks like hardly any progress

Help me
I am struggling to have one day where I don’t eat my body weight in junk food. I was fine until I went on holiday and now I can’t get back on track. I have spent most of this week beating myself up, full of self loathing and I’m annoyed at myself for feeling the way I do and for having no self control!!

10kg down... So much more to go
Anyone else reach that first milestone only to realise there's so much more to go? Like this week I weighed in at under 100kg after around 2.5 months, meaning I've lost over 10kg. I'm definitely proud of myself. I never want to be over 100kg again if I can help it. It's just when I realise that I've got another 25-30 to…

Overnight Oats
Edited to Add - Sorry! I posted this twice! :) 1/2 cup of oatmeal, 1/2 cup of chocolate Fairlife lowfat milk. Soaked overnight, then in the morning I added 1 tablespoon of PB2. I swear it's like eating a no bake cookie for breakfast!

Vshred
I did it. I ordered the 90day program for $59. If anything, it’s motivation. I was disappointed when ordering that all these other videos kept popping up for additional products. It made it feel very scammy. I will do the 90 days. My weight is fine. I just want to lose the stubborn fat and become more defined. I’m half way…

MFP Fitspiration!
There has been a lengthy thread about fitspo and how it uses unrealistic photoshopped people, and often supports unsafe practices (pushing until it's unhealthy). One of the things that came out of it was the idea that we, the people of MFP, should create our OWN fitspos... made with unvarnished pics, and our own sayings...…

Is Video Documenting Weight Loss Actually a Motivator?
I have mixed feelings on this... I've followed some people who do this that just stop making progress losing weight and then make videos about food. I've seen some who go all the way. I'm absolutely not looking to be instafamous (I work a real job and I'm earning my BA). I was just curious what the consensus is on this?…

Breaking the binge / delete / create new account cycle
Sometimes I feel like an addict! As soon as I stray from my perception of a healthy day (even just a little), I go full throttle vacuum mouth mode. I've read a bit about binge-eating, and I understand that it isn't about the food as much as it's about the binge... but I can't seem to break the cycle. It's almost like, as…

Small goals add up
In July, I worked on my mindset and worked on identifing food triggers and bad habits. The biggest was boredom. When I sit at home, I want to eat. So less sitting! In July I worked on my water intake. I think I maxed myself out and cut back a bit. Hovering around 300 lbs, I don't think the calculator works right for how…
