The last 10 weren't any harder than the first 102.professionalHobbyist wrote: »Lots of good common sense there!
I don't even debate empty sugar calories with people on this forum. Lost cause.
Good ideas in all that info as well.
I also have tried using lemon juice on a salad. Just ask the waiter for a lemon sliced. Not bad. Or just red wine vinegar. Pretty much nothing in either of those.
I'm grinding off the last 10 lbs of body fat.
I heard a long time ago that losing the first 100 pounds is practice for losing the last 10.
I think it is true. Every calorie counts! The ones we dont eat and the ones we burn off.
Best wishes on the last leg of your journey!

here is my list:
enter stats into mfp
eat to that number
hit macors/micros
realize no foods are bad
get a food scale
log accurately
patience
dedication
find a form of exercise that one likes
use correct MFP database entries
Yes, Amen. This is the best part about this. You don't need special tricks or weird customs to loose weight. It's that simple. That's why using the MFP is so successful.0 -

Nah, it's a myth.
I was hospitalized about four years ago because of that myth.
I am sorry to hear that, but then you were the exception not the rule. In order to be hospitalized for starvation, you were emaciated and had lost a certain amount of body fat and muscle, correct? Your organs were compromised? You were likely in the throes of an eating disorder?
You don't go into starvation mode if you are slightly underweight, healthy weight, or if you are overweight. That's just not the way it works.
Starvation mode means you're emaciated and have lost a certain amount of body fat and muscle, and your body is literally shutting down.0 -

From the OP: "your body holds onto fat if you don't eat enough as it goes into starvation mode"
No one disputes that a person can starve themselves and end up with health consequences as a result. But starvation mode, as referenced by OP, is a myth. Your body will not hold onto fat if you do not take in enough calories. You are discussing something other than what tpereira and the OP and SLLRunner were discussing.

i bought popcorn to eat as a snack a long time ago, but then i found out that my tummy has problems digesting it and i get all bloated and gassy
Now I have a jar full of kernels just sitting in my pantry.
This just made me incredibly sad because now I wonder if it's been the addition of popcorn that's been driving my stomach insane lately. Crap lol. I've been trying to figure out what it was and that's got to be it. WHY WHY WHY?0 -
