Things You Didn't Know Before MFP
Replies

I had absolutely no idea how many calories I was eating per day. Some of the home cooked meals we used to make that I thought were pretty healthy, turns out they are not. They are loaded with calories, carbs, fat, sodium, etc. I have become so much more aware of how many calories different ingredients contain.
Also, eating back exercise calories. Still a hard one for me to let go of previous assumptions on this one.0 -
I didn't know that I would meet so many amazing friends and that I would become addicted not only to MFP but to working out, it's all good:)0

I didn't know:
how HORRIBLE I was eating... probably close to 3000 cals every day, easily! I'm at 1300 now!
how much I miss my fried foods... but that will pass!
the benefits of green tea
what a NSV was
there was even a site like this! LOVE IT!!0 -

OMG! This is hilarious!0 -
Realized what bump meant, and that 1200 calories is a challenge to stay at without feeling hungry.0

I didnt know I would be here for 2 months and STILL not know what "NSV" , "HRM" or "Bump" is.

Didn't realize how many empty carbs I was really consuming.0

That at age 60, I could sling a kettlebell around, develop defined muscles in my arms, and love every minute of it! Thanks, MFP!!0

Didnt realize how much better a body can look when you work out. Didnt imagine that finally someone will inspire me to exercise. Now I can REALLY say internet changed my life!0

YIKES! ok...and BUMP? Dare I ask?0 -
There's a lot I didn't know/realize o:. So here's a few!:
1. That I have been undereating for years (Which means all those times I wasn't seeing the weight loss, it wasn't just me being a failure!)
2. That doing exercise would actually be fun.
3. That a lot of my problems can be solved by eating more and exercising!
4. That you get calories back to eat when you exercise.
5. That there were so many great people out there who can/will support me in this change.0 -
1.) I didn't know how to measure portions on my plate (i.e. 1 oz of meat being close to the size of my palm).0

I too didn't realize how many calories I was consuming! I love tracking it all on here! Really keeps me in check when I know I have to add it to my diary! hehe! and I love that I have found MFP w/ so many great people and tips on here all working towards creating a better/more healthy life!0

I did know or realize that there was so many people that were going through the exact same thing I was, and so many other's that had been right where I stand today.
I did not know that sodium could cause a plateau or cause you not to lose weight no matter how hard you worked0
