Which foods are worth buying organic vs. which does it not really make a difference, and why?
I know some foods have peels, shells, husks, etc. that might absorb or repel the harmful substances that are not present in organic farming. For example, white rice is 10x as expensive to buy organic. What is the benefit?

Trying to step back into the community
Hi everyone! I'm Andrew, and I've been on MFP since 2013ish. In 2016, I had a mild health scare at 306 lbs and, through walking, going to the gym, healthier food decisions, and with the help of MFP, I dropped to 186 and virtually fixed my health problem (which was an irregular heart beat and PACs). I was literally in the…

I feel humble and full of joy -all 313 pounds of me
I took a day off today. Christmas had to come out of the attic and somehow find its way into our living room. We are older now. My husband is 66 and I just turned 61. When you get older, things get harder. When I got bigger and bigger and heavier and heavier, it almost killed me. Moving hurt, moving left me huffing and…

Long time follower, first time writer
I've been using the app for a long time, but I've never ventured into this area. My problem is overeating. I'm like shrew, I can eat at least three times my own weight. My other problem is that I don't like going to the gym. I'm aware of eating healthy and I understand why going to the gym would help with weight…

Just keep hiking
I've had a list of hikes that I've wanted to do for a long time. I've waited to lose weight, I've waited for friends to get up to the same ability so they could come with me. I waited to come up with more excuses. This year I decided it was enough and June 1st I changed from focusing on the scale and working to get…

Does it seem most/some New Years start out with hope or dreams you want, but over time as they don't happen it becomes another "Next year!" thought? One reason is losing focus, discouragement or perhaps not having the support you desire. Here's the answer to focus not just on weight loss, but on YOU! A bright, shiny, New…

Lost 50# been here but never posted
I've been using my fitness pal for years but never used this feature. I live remotely so have a home gym only. I am female in my early 50's and lost 50's over the last 2.5 years. I'm finding no one is really that excited for you (like you are) when you lose weight. I don't want to post pictures on social media as I'm not…

Lady Magenta *Update* I am no longer lonely here, now I feel I belong
I have lost 30 lbs in 75 days. The scale showed 318 lbs today in the morning. I started at 348 in September. :) I don't even know if weight loss is the most important achievement right now. So much has changed. It seems it finally 'clicked', and I am in command of the food I eat. Perhaps I finally understood that food is…

Will it be still a good Christmas if I don’t fall off the wagon?
Over the last six or seven years I made numerous attempts to lose weight. I followed trend diets and tried to copy what everybody else was doing. High Protein, low carb! Smoothies and juicing! You name it, I have done it. I am obese, morbidly obese. The highest weight and my start weight in September was 348 lbs. It always…
