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…

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,…

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…

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'…

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 to overcome Stress eating

Ever since I started MFP I've been able curb some of this or I'll eat healthier options. I still have those moments that I have to force myself to stay out of the…

Intermittent Fasting / time-restricted eating
When I was at my doctors appointment, we were talking about weight loss and the subject of intermittent fasting came up. Now I had heard of fasting of course, but over the years, I had been advised, smaller more frequent meals was the better approach. I want home and started researching the topic. Now, before I describe my…

Discussion: Diet vs Lifestyle
I saw a thread in the main forum that made me think about this again. The word lifestyle gets thrown around a lot now. It has been co-opted even by people who jump from fad to fad as if saying the word lifestyle actually means it is one... it is not. One of the things to remember is that you have a lifestyle now. You had a…

25 weeks - 55.4 lbs
I guess it is true what they say - it is a bit harder to lose weight as you get older. Well, if not harder, slower for sure. :wink: I am 63 years old, 6'2" tall. I am eating a healthy diet of 1800 calories per day. I am exercising, 2 mile walk at an 18.5 / minute per mile pace. I also try to swim 2 or 3 times per week. I…

Everything Keto
I couldn't find a keto-specific thread here in Larger Losers, so I made one! Discussion for all of us who are doing keto! :) I just finished slowly transitioning to a keto diet (I did it very gradually to avoid the keto flu) and I'm loving it! (I love the results I'm seeing too! Faster weight loss and improved energy, no…

Experiments, tests, trying things out..
I couldn't find a thread devoted to posts about experimenting to see if something works for you or not...so I thought I'd start one. Is anyone else in the group experimenting with something different at the moment? If so, what are you learning about yourself? I've mentioned a few times in other threads that fear of hunger…

At Wits End
well, my diet experiment with 5:2, 16:8, and OMAD all failed miserably. Trying to fast and only eat within a certain window of time, and trying to fast in general has resulted in a 12 lb gain in the last month. *sigh* Honestly? I'm at wits end. I honestly do not know what to do. Everything I've tried, and that's been…

Healing and Calorie Deficits
I know many of us have experienced injuries during our weight-loss journey. I think a thread focussed on how to handle calories during healing - a repository for our knowledge and experience could prove very useful. Where should we draw the line between too big of a deficit / too many "junk" calories / the strain of weight…
