Eat like a thin person and what else?
We all know weight loss is more than eat less. There is a psychological component to it. I'm trying to eat like a thin person when at happy hours, pot lucks and buffets. Those are some of my challenges. I'm going to look around at the thin ladies to see what they eat and do that. What do you do to help you keep your head…

FASTer Way friends in the house?
Hi friends, I'm 61, have over 100 lbs to lose, but a lifetime to make sure I'm here for. I'm not starting a diet, but a new life, a life of eating to fuel my body, not my heart. Any friends in the same boat?

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…

Ate two large bowls of Cap'n Crunch. I didn't get enough water in for the day. Up two pounds. Oh well. Not going to beat myself…
