Don't Let the Bathroom Scale Get the Better of You
http://physiqonomics.com/the-weird-and-highly-annoying-world-of-scale-weight-and-fluctuations/ I feel like I have posted the above link 391 times in the main forums. The reason I keep posting it is that misunderstanding the scale ruined many of my weight loss efforts. I VERY distinctly remember being a teen and trying to…

General Discussion
I've noticed that we have started using the intro thread for general discussion lately -- let's do it here instead! That way we're not discouraging new members from posting intros.
Success-Forward Thinking
My idea of success-forward thinking as it relates to weight loss is to get rid of anything unnecessary. Most of this is popular misinformation about what a person needs to do to lose weight. What it means to ONLY need a calorie deficit to lose weight: 1) You can eat what you want - no need to cut carbs or avoid tasty food.…
Advice / Guidance
Hi All, I wasn’t going to make a new post for this but thought it could help others overall etc. So with myself personally, I’m not sure where to start exactly - I know everyone is different with weight loss but where is a good place to start? Is there anything that anyone has followed and it’s worked well for them…
Larger Loser Group Rules and Policies
Hi and Welcome! We are going to try and be informal here but there are a few rules to know: 1) Know the difference between fact and opinion. 2) Don't pee in someone else's sandbox - if you tried keto and it didn't work out it doesn't make it bad for someone else. 3) Medical supervision is necessary for very low calorie…

Food inspiration, or what's for supper?
Given that there are so many good cooks in here, I thought it would be fun to start a food idea/recipe themed thread. Sometimes you just need some cooking inspiration, or maybe you want to share a new or favorite recipe. To kick things off, I'm planning on baking some cod for supper tonight. I've got my veggies/side dishes…
Thoughts, Epiphanies, Insights, & Quotables
Whether original or something you came across that helped or inspired you this is where you share it if you think it might help others.
Share Your Day
How is the day going for you? Since many things contribute to how easy or hard it is to stay in a calorie deficit this thread can be about anything you wish to share. If you want to talk about the food you have eaten or that dumb email your boss sent you this is the place.
Share your Numbers
If you want to post your weights or any other numbers this is the place to do it. If you would like help with any weight loss related math this is good place to ask as well.
Food...control...the endless loop
I haven’t posted much but was just looking for some thoughts or support. 10 years ago at the height of the most stressful time in my life (death of both my parents, divorce, becoming single mom to 6 yr old and newborn) I hired a personal trainer and lost 90 pounds. I was still very overweight as I had started at 353…
Non Scale Victories
Here's a thread for those little (or big) moments that don't include the number on the scale. I'm sure there are times when you think nothing is happening, or it seems soooo slow but then you have a moment when you realise something has changed. Mine yesterday was not giving in to a stressful day by over eating or…
How many minutes did I exercise? ⛷🏂🏋️♀️🤼♀️🤸♀️⛹️♀️🏃🤺🤾♀️🧘♀️🏄♀️🏊♂️🤽♀️🚣♀️🧗♀️🚴🏻
@AthleteLori had the good idea of starting a roadrunner thread to record our minutes of exercise! So I'll get the ball rolling, and we can tweak the 'rules' and icons once we've built up a head of steam. For starters I propose that we get a 'sporty'…
Food inspiration, or what's for breakfast?
The most important meal of the day? What works for you?
I’m back
I tried the group back during COVID and lost my way. Gained about 25 even with long walks. Earlier this year, a prescription medication interacted with another prescription and I lost 30 pounds in a month (not the way to do it). It has finally stabilized but I want to lose the next 75. I've ordered a new Garmin watch since…
How many 🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰 did I eat?🙀
This is a 🐰's nightmare: people eating ALL the bunny food... and leaving none for the poor bunnies!🙀😎 1 bunny = 85g of vegetables or fruits or 40g of dried. We're liberal in counting bunnies! If you think it's a bunny it counts!🤔 Of course, if you want to prejudicially exclude your starchy bunnies (plantains, potatoes,…
