Things I've learned since starting MFP...add yours!
I thought this would be fun if people latch on to this post:
Write down one quick phrase, or more, that tells something that you've learned since starting MFP serious or funny. I'll start with two:
1) How crazy it can be that I can eat my regular calories even when I have a big workout.
2) How satisfying it is to have a pre-weigh-in dump.

I've learnt as soon as I stop using it I end up getting fat again!0

I learned that *I* need a spike day or I get bored.0

that if you only have 1200 cals a day, somehow eating raw or less processed foods (nuts, fruits, fresh veggies, lean proteins) go a MUCH longer way than one prepared meal, plus you can eat SO much more!!0

I have learned too that water can soothe my beastly hunger and that every calorie counts.0

I learned that the calories I was consuming before I started logging everything was outrageous, and some things I thought were healthy choices were not!! big eye opener0

1. Sodium. I can't believe that I was having so much and how it effects my weight.
2. Better eating portions.
3. More thought into the foods I eat when I go out.0 -

Thanks for the laugh! Loved this!0 -
1- I have learned that I can be happy and still be on diet. I always had such a bad outlook before using MFP. I know I need a little treat at the end of my day in order to be satisfied and as long as I work it into my calories, I am fine.
2- I have learned that I can cook amazing meals for dinner that coincide with my diet so that I don't hijack my day after doing so well. There is no reason to cook anything full fat. You can always lighten it up by simple switchouts.
3- I have learned to be mindful of EVERYTHING I put in my mouth. Little bites here and there add up big time. It's not worth it at the end of the day.
4- I have learned that I need to take it slow and steady. The weight did not go on overnight and it will not come off overnight. I just cannot give up.0 -
I've learned that:
1) Once I stop using MFP, I gain all the weight back
2) Sodium is in EVERYTHING!!0 -
I have learned eating " fun size" candy bars are not fun on the scale:0(0
-
portion control......meals I was cooking for 2 actually feed 4
Oh and buying lean version of meats is a little more money but you get more meat and it goes further.0
