156-Pound Weight loss, and so much more!
1919 days ago, in January 2017, after a girl’s night out when none of the other ladies wanted to sit beside me in the movie theater, I came here to MFP frustrated and angry with myself. I weight 312 pounds, could hardly walk, and the slightest physical movement left me huffing and puffing and gasping for air. I have two…

Keto - What worked for you?
I tend to do Keto, and then fall off the wagon because it’s just hard to satisfy myself and I miss certain meals. On top of, I begin to plateau. I’ve heard it’s good to kickstart yourself again by eating carbs every now and then. If so, how often? How long? And how much? Or has anyone ever done like keto during the week,…

Keto and working away from home
Over a year ago I started keto and it helped with my weight loss. I got down to a weight I was happy with and moved to maintenance. All was working great until I got a new job. This job means I’m touring the country (and possibly going international as well). I very rarely have access to a proper kitchen or proper…

What is the scientific way to avoid sugar cravings?
I'm looking for the absolute best way to avoid all sugar cravings. At night I get as hungry as a beast and I crave sugar, sugar, sugar. Eating lots of protein has helped a little, but it still happens every night. Advice is so appreciated!!

What's the deal with low carb diets?
I don't understand why carbs would be "bad". Anything in excess is bad but I know some people that swear by carb cutting and low carb diets. A certain someone close to me keeps inquiring as to why I'm not cutting carbs instead of calories. ⚫ Is it healthier? ⚫ Is weight loss faster? ⚫ Does the body burn more calories when…

Under 300lbs for the first time in about 4 years!
As with a lot of people, I suffered quite hard under the lockdowns. My company was constantly on the verge of going under as it was reliant on tourism and I was working 10-11 hour days sat at my desk, rarely getting up and ordering takeaways 6 nights a week from being so tired. As a result, I ballooned up to 352.1lbs by…

Trying this again
Hi all! I'm going to attempt this weight losing journey once again. I feel like it's almost useless for me to even try. I don't eat because I'm hungry, I eat because I'm bored. Even though I have a ton of things to do, I can't seem to stop picking. If it's there...I eat it. Any suggestions how to overview this? I hope…
