Tracking your food for accountability struggles
I struggle tracking for an entire day. I start out great in the morning then life gets in my way and I stumble. Any tricks besides pre tracking which I’m sure won’t happen. I’ve been a WW but with limited availability of live meetings I’m going a different route. Why pay 44 bucks to WW when I can use this for free. My…

Countdown to the big three-oh
So I realised. My late 20s are drawing to a close and - in less than 100 days - I'll be thirty. And I'm probably in the worst shape I've been in. I lost a load of weight in 2019 (post breakup) and felt fantastic. And then covid, work from home, no motivation happened. And it's all back on - and more. I feel like rubbish, I…

So happy but lost my way
What a long crazy, awesome, beautiful journey it has been. About 10 years ago I went from obese to anorexic! But I built myself back and ended up super healthy, strong, and fit. I maintained that for years. Became a nutritionist, ranked in boxing and muay Thai, and eventually became a fitness instructor…

I’m a dork! Random silliness only MFP peeps understand!
I pre-logged an afternoon snack. 188 calories of popcorn. Later after dinner I felt like a snack, which is unusual. I got 12500 steps in today and decided to indulge in some Reese’s peanut butter minis. They put me over my calorie goal by about 130 calories! Going over calories is very, very rare for me, and it has to be…
