Diet = selecetive = rude
Does anyone else have this problem?: being on a diet means you need to be a little more picky about what you eat and what your portions are. I feel like I'm being rude to family or the wait staff when I choose not to finish my food, but it's important to me to stop eating when I'm full or maybe be a little more selective.…

Needing a reminder
So, my wonderful MFP people... I guess I'm just needing a reminder from someone outside of myself. I'll be seeing my boyfriend in October for the first time in 6 months, and I'm going crazy trying to lose the last 5 pounds. Logically, I know he's not going care about 5 pounds one way or the other. But still I can't seem to…

Sticking to keying in all your daily intake
Hello everyone, I wanted to say that this is definitely working for me. I've been keying in all my daily intake since May 3rd 2021. I was 175 on that date and I'm now 156. It is a slow process for me but I am raising my 11 year old grandson so it's sometimes harder not to cheat. Just keep your head up and please pay…

I know the drill
I know the drill, or at least I think I do. I have successfully lost 30+ LBs and have kept it off for nearly 5 years now. My secret? I moved. I moved to a new city, new routine, new people and got away from toxicity. I have always “ate well” and worked out. I think the drastic decrease of stress and increase of happiness…

In February, when I turned 49, I set myself the target of losing weight and reaching optimal fitness in time for my 50th birthday.

How to enjoy running again?
Hi guys! For background, I used to enjoy running a lot and have done so increasingly more since the first lockdown, managing to do 3 runs per week all ~30min. I enjoyed the run and enjoyed seeing myself improved. Then I stopped. I'm not sure why but I presume I just got busy and forgot about this habit. So, a week ago I…

Looking for Friends that will hold me accountable
Have you ever had a friend or family member that encourages you to do the wrong thing? But they do it with the best intentions. Yeah that is me at this point. My husband (who is also my best friend) doesn't stop me when I want the wrong things- he won't even suggest better options- he just let's me do what I want.…

Accountability partner
Hi, I'm currently looking for an accountability partner. I am not looking to lose a huge amount of weight, just about 10lbs as I am just trying to lean up at this point. My thoughts are that we could help keep each other motivated, maybe discuss diet/workout, weekly weigh in/check ins. I am also more into weight…

1,000 then junk October
My goal for October is to start limiting the amount of junk food I eat. I’m not doing a all or nothing approach but instead will allow myself a treat on days my watch says I have burned 1,000 calories. Since that isn’t every day it will help me focus on consuming more real foods. I will take a photo at the beginning and…

Migraines?
I'm sure some of you also suffer from migraines...how do you handle those days? I'm finding it really discouraging to have a day of activity planned only to end up completely sedentary and flat on my back. And yes, still hungry, because my migraines don't give me nausea :D
