From almost 300 to under 200 lbs, still needing support - WHY?
I started my weight loss back in 2010. I am so glad I did!! Fast forward to 2025. I had weighed almost 300 lbs, and now under 200 lbs. I didn't do this on my own; like many of us, I needed support. I found the 5% Challenge on a different site, but it closed in 202,1 and we relocated here on MFP!! WHY, after 15 years, am I…

LESS Alcohol ~ August 2025 ~ One Day at A Time
🌟 Do You Want to Drink LESS? 🌟 Less can mean a lot of different things. Maybe you want to: Cut out that one glass of wine that always turns into two (or three—no judgment).

Newbie tips and suggestions ?

Eating out
So I’m new to all of this, and frankly, last week I hardly knew what a calorie was aside from it being what I ate and how to spell it. That being said, I also haven’t been eating fast food for quite awhile now, to the point that it doesn’t taste like I remembered. So my question here is, how do I log what I eat if I do eat…
