Things I've learned since starting MFP...add yours!
Replies

I learned that sometimes my little sweet "treats" consumed a whole days worth of calories. I came to that realization using MFP and thanks to my nutritionist Jo who finally got me to writ we down what I was eating.0

FYI someone started this kinda post once before and it got shut down!0

1. There is no "one size fits all" when it comes to weight loss and diet.0

1) I learned that everyone thinks they're fitness experts....so how did they get fat in the first place

I've learned that
1. An alarming number of people don't know what current medical nutition recommendations really are, and an equally alarming number ignore them.
2. A lot of people claim to hate "cardio"0 -

learning that if you exercise enough you can eat almost anything you like0

It's OKAY for women to lift heavy! You're not going to turn into a Female Russian Weightlifter!0

I learned where I was going wrong with calories (I thought my breakfasts were too big, but they were 300 cals. My DINNERS on the other hand... yikes). I also learned that it is not the worst thing in the world not to eat cake if it's there. It's also not the worst thing in the world to indulge every once in a while, it actually helps.0

I've also learned that MFP is WAY more addicting that Facebook has ever been for me. I rarely check FB anymore, but you bet your butt I'm checking in with my friends on here daily.

I'm with you on that one! I recently deactivated my facebook profile because it seemed like I was mindlessly spending an hour/day on there! I spend at least that much time putzing around on MFP, but I feel like it's more productive0 -
I've learnt as soon as I stop using it I end up getting fat again!
LOL me too!0 -

I learned that sitting at my laptop eating an entire family sized bag of Lays at one sitting was not such a good idea anymore0
